Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

BrazilThe pass code was not working when we arrived. We tried to reach the host and after 30 minutes he picked up our phone call.
It was okay to stay.

United KingdomI invited the hotel manager at Check-in and Check-out for a joint inspection but he failed to turn up. There should be joint inspections by the manager and renter at check-in and check-out to ensure any damages are noted from the onset, as the hotel manager took a deposit for damages. It is highly incredible and beggars belief that in this case, the manager is cynically carrying out inspections unilaterally only after Check-out, behind the back of the renter; how can he know whether the damages were subsisting prior to Check-in? At best he may blackmail the renter as being responsible for any damage(s) just to justify withholding the deposit. That is fraudulent. The manager should refund the deposit 6 days after Check-out as stated in the rules and regulations for renting the flat, or else, say why. Withholding the deposit amount in full or part is a rip-off, which is totally dishonest, and leaves nothing to be desired. Honesty is the best policy.

United States of AmericaLocation was interesting. Some quality pre war buildings. Lots of car repair shops and mechanics in the area. Got to practice Caribbean Spanish, leeward island English and even some French and Bengali. Locals, though appearing somewhat rough, were communicative and engaging. Good Dominican restaurant in front of the subway station, opposite of the Ortiz Funeral Home. The Indian fruit vendor and a gregarious Moroccan food vendor on the same corner by the station gave some stability to the area. House is 2 blocks from the station on a tree lined street. Has a home like, solid early 20th century feel to it. Ok for a one or two night stay.

United States of AmericaThe location is not ideal. It's a rough area. Getting into the unit is time-consuming and quite frankly way too excessive. I had to enter 4 different combination codes to get into my room, and there were weird steps like turning one door handle left and then the next door turning the handle right. It's ridiculous. Wifi wasn't that strong. The room seemed like it wasn't cleaned. Dust was everywhere, sheets didn't smell or feel fresh. Nothing to eat nearby. Everything written so far, I could look past, but the customer service of the host was much worse. Communication with the host was atrocious. It didn't feel like I was a valued PAYING customer. I had to reach out to get basic information and was met with terse responses that felt very hostile. When I asked for the address and how to pick up the keys, I was sent a YouTube video about some missing girl (it was weird) and when I asked about it, the response was "IT MEANS NO SMOKING ON THE PREMISES." A simple "Please do not smoke in the room or near the premises" would have sufficed. There are so many rules with the threat of losing your $100 deposit and messages received from the host are in ALL CAPS. Also, checkout is at 10 a.m. or some unreasonable time. Overall I wish I had paid more money to stay somewhere nicer, but even if the place wasn't that nice, the customer service was much worse. It felt like I was an inmate trying to appease an angry warden.
The overall price was decent, but only because I used to live in NYC and know the city well enough to stay in that location for the weekend. I would not suggest staying here to save money if you are a tourist.

United States of AmericaThe miscommunication with the property owner. There were a lot of mistakes made. We were given the wrong room to begin with and there was a lot of confusion with pricing and what pictures coincided with what room.
I liked the convenience of the location. The 2nd room we were moved to was much better than the first. I'm giving a high rating because issues were resolved and we still had an amazing time.

were in NY for a football game & wanted somewhere to lay our heads, a hot shower & close to transportation ands thats what we got extra securuty of codes put previous guests off but we found it reasuring. Others mentioned no heat at night we found the opposite. The location of subway entrance 50mtrs ideal even if downtown station was closed for improvements. Neighbourhood looked iffy at 1st but we had no issues. dealing with Richard was easy once you are cluded into what your end of the deal was regards providing all your neccessary details . He was professional. It is very important to do the paperwork in advance of arriving.

Netherlandsit was a struggle to get the doorcodes. and the All caps messages were not needed in my opinion. could have been a friendlier tone. and location is not great, but that was already known.
once its settled, you know how the codes work etc. then it's pretty convenient. the place is also bigger than I thought.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom shower curtains needs to be changed ASAP. Water pressure in shower was inadequate, maybe changing shower head would help with this. The room was hot, it would be better to have the AC in the bedroom. TV had no internet connection, therefore no form of entertainment. Bed pillows were a bit flat.
Bed size, adequate lighting, security.

United States of AmericaI was angry at the host all day. I could not confirm anything about the stay until I was on my way to the property's location, the exact address of which I did not even know when I got in the cab. Long story/short, I understand what the host was trying to do and had I understood earlier, I would not have been so stressed. Richard, the host, turned out to be human in the end.
The room was clean and the fridge and microwave were nice amenities.
