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):
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 WiFi was frequently unavailable. (The question above refers to “paid WiFi”; Did we have to pay for it?) The elevator was frequently broken.
Location was awesome. I loved how it was near Central Park and a subway station. The walk to nearby streets was good too. I was grateful for the option to get a fridge in the room. The staff was polite.

United KingdomThe room would be better if had a small fridge. The breakfast should be open all the time for guests to use it in the evening, bring their own food and eat there. The staff were talking too loud in the hallways.
The beds are very comfortable and clean. Fresh towels every other day.

United KingdomThe breakfast facilities and options were poor. The room much too small, plastic plates and cutlery. The overall state of the hotel is very poor, everywhere needed a good clean, as you entered at the front door of reception there was a water butt collecting water, everywhere was just dirty. The lift stopped working 3 times whilst we were there and we were on the 12th floor. The hotel needs bringing in line with other La Quinta premises and I've stayed at a lot. Very poor
The front desk staff were especially nice

United StatesOnly one elevator, it took forever waiting for it each day. Room was outdated and small, but we expected this for the price.
Definitely worth the low price for the incredible location, right next to Central Park, close to the subway, cheapest price by far compared to every other options in the area.

United StatesHallway floors on every level/ floor was disgusting, stained, dirty, food residue never cleaned for the entire week of our stay. Bad reviews of theft apparently by cleaning staff left us very uncertain to allow staff in our room. Carpet needs to be ripped out! The Single elevator was not always working, causing us to climb multiple floors to our room. Elevator wait by guests was long! The lobby furniture stained and dirty! New vinyl or leather chairs / furniture should replace the old filthy fabric furniture! This place has potential and could get better reviews if kept up properly.
Location is amazing. Super quiet. Beds were comfortable. Clean bedding. Room was clean. Amazingly cold AC!!!

CanadaWater bug in the downstairs bathroom just as we were leaving reminded me that there are bugs in New York all over the place. In fact I have been jokingly told that they come with the rent. The bathroom was very tiny and likely most room had the same tiny bathroom, based on the photos that I saw of the other rooms the rooms were also very small. We just happen to have a very large room because it was one of the better rooms.
Friendly desk clerk in the evening was really nice to chat with. He was attentive and helpful. I think his name was Steve. The room was quite spacious and comfortable and cool considering the heat wave what a difference that made!

United StatesThis is a practical budget hotel in a great location. The breakfast room is too small and gets very hot but I appreciated the ability to pick up a few things in the morning. The staff are very nice. Rooms are basic but great value considering the wonderful location in the Upper West Side near Central Park. There are lots of little restaurants nearby and easy access to the subway. For a single traveler mostly in the city for business and enjoying the shows, this was just fine. If I was on vacation with my spouse I would spring for something more luxurious.

United StatesOur room was on the second floor and there was no carpet at all when you got off the elevator. The carpeting that was on that floor to our room was extremely filthy. There was no sign saying anything like "excuse our renovations" but one of the staff said they were going to replace the carpet. We were there for 3 nights and nothing changed. There is only one small elevator and it takes a long time to arrive as there are at least 12 floors.
The UWS location is great, close to subway stops and Central Park. The rooms with a king size bed are a little bigger and the bed itself was very comfortable. The bathrooms have a complete offering of Dove products - body wash, shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer, which is very nice. We always had hot water in the shower with sufficient pressure.

United Stateselevator was horrible! only one elevator for a 14 story building that was at least 100 years old!! in average we waited 20-25 minutes everytime we wanted to go up or down. worse during check out and cleaning time. maids would hold the elevator open on the floor they were working so they didn't have to wait. we had an uber and plane to catch and couldn't get down for 35 minutes!!!' room was sooooo small we had to pull out the ironing board and use that for our luggage. we had 4 pieces after a cruise and the room was even smaller and less usage space then our cruise cabin. front desk staff were super sweet though and helped with what they could.
