Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe elevator situation was more difficult than I expected. We were on the 10th floor, so there were a lot of stairs to climb or descend and we spent a lot of time waiting for the one slow elevator. Also, there was a door connecting our room to the one next door and sounds came right through as if we were sharing a suite. I had to call the front desk twice to complain about the noise next door waking us up.
The room was a good size, the location was excellent, and we had a view of the Empire State Building.

Slovakiaelevator seemed to be the issue, but they honestly tried to solve the problem and at least one elevator allways worked.
This hotel is super nice. Building is old, but it has a soul, it is nicely refurbished, clean, stylish and its right next to the Empire state building. Subway is right on the corner, plenty places to eat are nearby. Every day fresh bottles of water and kind stuff :)

AustraliaThere was only one elevator working for the whole week that we were there & we were on the 10th floor. It was fixed on our last day. Also, I had two cold showers!!
The room size was great for New York! The location was also fantastic but if noise keeps you awake, maybe not for you!

United KingdomOne elevator was being renovated, which sometimes meant long waits - this is temporary though and will be fixed shortly - staff did inform about it on arrival. As with any central NYC hotels, rooms facing street will experience some noise and I came prepared with earplugs (none of these are points that would prevent me from staying again - would happily return).
Excellent location within walking distance of many attractions and transport links (two blocks to Penn station). Room was newly renovated and clean, bed was also very comfortable. Nice sized room (had a standard king room) for central NYC location.

United KingdomOnly one elevator was working and it was very small and slow, so getting around the building was tiresome. The sound travel between rooms was significant - we could clearly hear our neighbours conversations which wasn't great, especially at 3am!!
Great location, clean and comfortable. Could see the Empire States Building from our room. Really easy to access the sights of NYC and the transportation network. Friendly staff.

United KingdomFor the location and type of hotel we would have expected some form or tea or coffee facilities in the room. It's a small point but it's nice to relax in the evenings with a hot drink, especially after a day in the rain.
Great location, perfectly located for exploring Midtown and ideally located for the Empire State Building. Friendly staff and very helpful.

United StatesPretty disappointed with the value you get for the price. Lacking attention to detail, very minimalistic amenities, nothing in the room (no coffee, no necessities), dirty and cheap windows, noisy, not too comfy beds. There are much better options in the area for a lower price.

United StatesThe elevator was slow in coming, I think only one of them was working, but I used the stairs which is not a bother to me and I didn't have much luggage.
The room was simple but very comfortable. It was on a reasonalbly busy street with some traffic noise but nothing disturbing and there was no noise from elevator usage or other hotel guests.

United StatesNo coffee makers in the rooms! What's up with that? I asked the front desk person about it and they looked at me like I had two heads. For the caliber of this hotel, I expected a coffee maker in the room and was very disappointed it wasn't there.
The location 1.5 blocks from the Herald Square subway station is a huge bonus. Penn Station is just another block past that, so it is easy to catch direct trains to almost anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. There are also lots of dining options nearby, including fantastic BBQ in Koreatown.

IrelandThe only thing about our stay was the elevators. The hotel is an old building there are approx 140 rooms 12 to each floor and 12 floors. There was only One very slow elevator working for the whole 5 days of our stay we were in the 9th floor and during peak times the wait for the elevator was extreme. We used the stairs to decend most days but the inconvenience of the elevator wait did impact our stay.
I loved the location. The room was amazing so clean and decorated beautifully and the bed was out of this world. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

United StatesOne elevator out of order which caused a good bit of waiting around since we on the 10th floor but it did not impede our touring. The second elevator was being worked on. A coffee/ pastry bar would have been nice. Also a cocktail bar would be nice.
My room was exceptional. Kind of noisy at night with truck deliveries to restaurants. I was on the 10th floor facing 35th Room 1002. Sirens,horns honking, typical New York noises. This does not bother me at all but probably would a lot of other people. The room was really good size as was the fridge. Really could have used a small coffee maker especially since the hotel had no eating facility. Bathroom was updated and spotless. The front desk had some of the most friendly helpful people I have ever known at a hotel. Jasmine and Cory especially! There were several restaurants right across the street which were very convenient

United StatesI do wish that there was a coffee machine or a microwave, but thats just personal preference. Its around the corner from multiple coffee shops so it really isnt a big deal. The ceiling vent/return was ridiculously loud and the filters needed to be changed and cleaned so there was a faint musty smell to the room.
It was a beautiful stay, wonderful location just a few blocks from the train station and directly down the street from Herald square. We had one of the corner rooms so it was a lot more secluded than probably other rooms which we loved. Check in was a breeze and the staff was all super friendly even when passing them in the hallways. The room was very comfy and well lit. Mini fridge was great, shower was spacious and clean. Overall really great
