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 StatesFront desk clerk not friendly or particularly helpful. Did not offer any hotel info or give us breakfast vouchers, which caused problems the next 2 mornings till we got wise and asked for them from a different desk clerk (who said we shouldn't need them -- someone needs to tell the servers that). Hotel still had Covid signs in place, and breakfast protocol seemed a hangover from that, where it wasn't a buffet but was cooked to order. Very inefficient. Elevator incredibly slow & rickety. Shower was but a trickle and there weren't enough towels, took 2 requests to get more. Lots of train noise all night long. You are right on the tracks in some rooms. Had been led to believe surrounding area was bustling but it was a bleak warehouse district, a bit sketchy at night. It was only 2-3 subway stops from Manhattan but felt much further away...and not in a good way.
Hotel was easy to find (but a long walk with suitcases through a bit of a sketchy neighborhood). Lobby inviting once we got there. Room clean & tidy, nice view. (Although was lacking amenities). Nice grab & go market in lobby, fairly well-stocked. Nice room on top floor for bfst, and it looks like they may be adding a rooftop bar!

NorwayIt you are located on train-rails side, you might hear noise from trains depending on how deep you sleep. I guess the other side is much quieter. Also, towards Hunter Point station some folks are “strange” but that has nothing to do with hotel.
Location is close to 3 different metro/train stations and takes cca 10mins to get to each of them. Breakfast was pleasant surprise for us and was great meal to start a day. And its free! People in kitchen were friendly and polite. Room had everything we need and was cleaned on daily basis. Clean and nice for every day stay.

ItalyNothing, I liked everything.
The room was exceptionally clean and the staff beyond friendly. But what sets this hotel apart is the incredible place for the great location, on the way to subway (number 7 and G are the closest) you literally find yourself in from of an amazing view of the Empire State Building. The location is unmatchable for the price, really. Two subway stops and you are in Manhattan, and quickly to Brooklyn as well. I was traveling alone (female) and I went to the hotel a few evenings alone from the subway and I felt safe. If you prefer, the city is obviously fully serviced by any possible car/cab service. Loved it!

GreeceThe area is industrial, so no colour at all around the hotel. Check the googlemaps, it is pretty explicit. Not at all sketchy, though. We never felt in danger or anything. As other have mentionned, the noise of the trains is considerable, but after those long days at the city you won't even notice, you'll be too tired. Bring earplugs for the first days! The three metro stations around are 10-15 min walk but they'll take you straight to Times Square in 3 or 4 stops. Check the area around the Court Square metro. There are plenty of places to eat or have a coffee, plus a diner which is open 27/7 with decent food in decent prices. A Target and a big asian supermarket nearby will cover any need.
The breakfast was great, it kept us full for our day at the city. The room was very spacious, which was a plus since we stayed for 12 days (first room we were given was pretty tight, though, but we changed). 3 or 4 USB plugs, so you don't need any adaptors. The staff is really adorable and ready to help. They changed our light bulb within minutes. The store with the snacks is super convenient, and rather cheap for a light dinner. Free coffee, tea and water all day. This is a real VFM!

SpainI didn't fully like the location, yes it's close to the city and 2 subway stations, but I would definitely recommend you to use the Queens Plaza Station rather than Hunterspoint Av, as the way to Hunters Point from the Hotel is a bit sketchy, especially in the evening. I wouldn't want to wander there alone at night. - We didn't have a table and a chair in our room. - Only a thin blanket to cover yourself when sleeping/ no comforter and the nights were a bit chilly, and somehow A/C wouldn't heat up the room, it would just cool it.
Rooms were very clean, - Front desk staff was very friendly and super helpful. - Nice breakfast, eggs to your liking and waffles made on the spot! - I would recommend to request a room on the opposite side of the train tracks so it's not as loud at night. - I did and the trains didn't bother me as much, and I'm normally very sensitive to noise.

United KingdomRoom was quite small. The location is awkward. Although it's not far from the subway station there is NOTHING in the immediate vicinity. Everything is over 10 mins walk, even Starbucks. The large groups of males on the street by the hotel could cause unease, although they were quiet and did not disturb passers by as far as I noticed.
hotel was clean. Reception was helpful. A small issue with the room was fixed the same day. Complimentary breakfast was provided which was helpful given the hotel's location. Good variety of restaurants and access to the waterfront around a mile away from hotel
