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 KingdomStaff in bar more interested in themselves rather than guests, I’d finished my drink and wanted another but they just walked past for nearly 10 mins. In the end I just got my check and went elsewhere. Even the manager was oblivious to myself and another at the bar..

United StatesOnly things I didnt like was waiting for the elevators because they have so few elevators compared to the volume of people they get. Also the room view was a little disappointing, thought it would actually see Times Square but instead you just saw roofs to other skyscrapers
The room was clean, didnt feel dirty to me or my wife. Very convenient location for the hotel when traveling to NY via train. Staff was friendly and helpful both checking in and out. Would absolutely reccomend to anyone visiting the city

United StatesFor a family of 4 with 4 pieces of luggage, the queen 2 bedroom was very small. We were constantly bumping into each other, and the bed frame and our feet were hitting the luggage. The bathroom is okay since there is no ventilation system, so be careful about what you eat, as the room can get smelly fast in the morning. The rooms need an upgrade, as I noticed some peeling paint or wallpaper, and the bathroom grout was dirty and turning black. Overall, the rooms are small, and the bathroom needs a ventilation system. Upgrading them would easily make this hotel a 5-star property.
The location is excellent, close to Times Square and 42nd Train Station. Friendly staff and good restaurant on site. The check-in was quick and we were on our way to room on the 9th floor. The lobby was clean and was taken care of by staff.

CanadaSecured locker was broken and non-functional. Carpets all over the room. Breakfasts are OK at best; you cannot serve yourselves drinks and coffee; food choices are limited.
Location is absolutely excellent. Rooms are clean and beds are confortable. There is a micro-wave and a small fridge which is appreciated if you want to cut a bit on food expenses.

United StatesSecurity wouldn't let us in the building along with a couple. The guard pointed to a sign and we thought he meant another entrance. After walking the block and not seeing anything, I called the hotel. The security STILL didn't let us in and we only got in once someone was coming out. ALL WHILE the guard sat and looked directly AT US!! Our shower was backed up and needed maintenance to unclog the drain. The water took 8 minutes to heat up for a shower and for the sink.
The front desk customer service was superb. They were super friendly and helpful. I appreciate all of them and their work ethics! The location is close to everything near Times Square and Bryant Park is a block away. There are PLENTY of food places and the subway is at the end of the block.
