How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThere was no breakfast. It was promised, when we arrived they told us there was no breakfast. We booked this hotel expecting breakfast so I feel we overpaid for the room.
Don't advertise breakfast if there isn't any. The neighborhood is rundown.

Verified reviewBeds and sofa are comfortable. Toilet and bath are clean. There’s cable tv. It’s 5 minutes away from the nearest train station - Nostrand Ave - that connects to Manhattan and Queens. Our experience disproves the bad reviews of past guests who might have disproportionately expected a stay similar to Hilton or Sofitel.
None that affected our stay.

Verified reviewNothing becomes the location
Check in was way 4pm the room was not ready u til 6:30pm I was told late check out would be granted to accommodate the room not being ready. The towels were filthy with long blonde hair on both of them, there were actual pebbles in the bed as if they never changed the sheets! Soda splashed all on the door to the room, not cleaned! I try to give this hotel a chance since I’ve been coming here for a while and it keeps getting worse and worse! I booked 2 rooms and they had the nerve to tell my daughter at 12pm if you don’t check out now we’re going to charge you! Although the room wasn’t ready until 6:35pm the day before! It’s truly a shamed because this was one of my favorite hotels to stay in. But each time they change ownership it gets worse and worse

Verified reviewIn-room facilities (fridge / coffee maker etc), good sleeping options for our family needs, nicely decorated with plenty of space in the suite, close to public transport links , good shower. After reading some of the less positive reviews, it was a big relief that things were so good once over the threshold.
The elevator sounded like it needed a service, creaky and unnerving with cables exposed. Strong cigarette smoke smell in lobby. Minor things.

Verified reviewthe front desk was not very helpful, with nothing.
they always say they don't have any answers about nothing. We came for a funeral and this stay made it worst. I had a allergic reaction in the room and had to check out early.

Verified reviewThe staff are really nice, they help you the best they can. They make you feel welcome right when you go in.
Some guests are a little weird, but if you keep to yourself and mind your business, nothing bad happens.

Verified reviewThe place was broken, like no has been managing it for years. There was tape holding the light fixtures on the ceiling, the bathroom had no knob. What I like about the property was how laughable our situation was. We felt we were in a comedy movie- where everything that could be broken -was. At any time the roof would cave in. Talk about adrenaline.
The stench of weed , drug addicts in the lobby, the lack of safety, pubic hair in the towels in the bathroom, bodily fluids on the walls of the room.

Awful staff. Trying to squeeze you out of your money by charging late fees, early check-in, canceling your booking with a no-show policy that doesn’t make sense
