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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesNo windows or city views on the level I stayed. Expected city views when booked this hotel based on the reviews about “ great views”. However- the view was in reference to a very cozy Roof Top. This is a very small 40 rooms tiny hotel. Very well kept but half stores have no windows-views. Maybe it’s a benefit to travelers who want quiet stay- then it is perfect. Room is tiny. Marcos filled out the fridge with snacks and drinks. No microwave in a room though. Room had a nice patio surrounded by the four tall walls of the neighboring buildings. Perhaps great relaxation area for a Summer stay.
Great location, super clean, Marcos is the best . Great Roof Top. Very quiet.

UruguayWe didn't like leaving that's for sure or the fact the we forgot to go to the terrace in the 7th floor. The only thing that I can think of to "complain" would be that the light switches were in the entrance of the room so to shut the beds lights off you had to walk 5m to switch them both and couldn't leave just one on to read.
Staff was amazing and super friendly, they gave us a list of different places to go near the hotel for groceries, coffee, pharmacies, and different types of food with the time schedules. They speak spanish and portuguese. Room was located in the 6th floor not one sound from outside the hotel. The cleanliness of the room and the bathroom was spot on and the pressure from the shower also. Mini bar got replenished each day (2 waters, 2 sodas, 3-4 snacks) and it was included in the price. Breakfast although not included they have hot water with different types of teas, cocoa and hot and freshly made coffee. Tv has only 1 channel but you can cast different apps so we didn't have much trouble when we wanted to check some show. Hotel is located 4 stops away from Times Sq, the E train passes just a couple of blocks away from the hotel. In 15 min you can be in WTC or 25 min to the other side and you'll be in Queens. Staff also helped us the last day with holding our bags and coordinating a cab to JFK which ended up being a limousine 😎. We'll definitely come back!!!

United StatesThere was nothing I found to be negative about the property or room. Some may want or need a restaurant on premises, but the area surrounding the hotel has many food options. It mattered not to me, but the property would not be compelling for children.
Property was clean, safe, functional in a good way. Staff was kind and helpful. In-room snacks were a welcome treat. Safe, vibrant neighborhood in which to walk or take public transportation. Outdoor elevated seating area was cozy, offering limited seating which kept it a place of relaxation rather than a place to party—a positive for me.

UkraineFew times I have been distructed by the sound of neighboring room. It was loud and it seemed like someone was entering my room.
I really liked the location of the hotel. It is within walking distance from Central Park, Rockefeller Center, main shopping area, the Metropolian Museum of Arts, Guggenheim Museum and many other points of interest are located nearby. The hotel itself is nice. Special complements to Mara. Mara works at the reception. Every time when I contacted her for directions or recommendations I received really comprehensive and accurate information. Mara, you made my stay at the hotel very pleasant. I will definitely recommend this hotel.

United StatesWeb site does not identify our Terrace bedroom actually in the cellar part of building - our view was four verticle walls. Room small but comfortable. Web site photos make room seem larger than actual size. No microwave or coffee maker in room - coffee/tea always available in lobby, as well as hot chocolate.
Staff and upkeep of property. Good location for seeing midtown sights, easy access for metro transportation.
