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 StatesI found the rooms to be pretty sterile -- no carpet on the concrete floors as shown in the photos. The desk was only sometimes staffed. Overall, the place has more of a hostel feel -- though that's not what the price is like!
Great location though on a strange warehouse filled block of the neighborhood. Easy walk to the train and to the nearby spots. This aspect was perfect for my needs.

United StatesI was not aware there would be cleaning services so we came back to our room all cleaned up. They did a great job but normally I would opt out of this service (there wasn't a DND hanger or anything so I presumed it wasn't a service offered). The breakfast situation is good and free but it could be much better with a couple small adjustments to make it a better/smoother experience when there are many people down there (bigger plates, pre-cut bagels or a real knife, quicker toaster - or more toasters, a table to eat at vs just the couch, etc.). Our rooms had a stand alone AC unit connected through the window (there was an HVAC control panel on the wall so presuming it was just broken in our room). This was fine for us, especially since they acommodated an early check-in and we only slept in the room, but we would have requested a different room if we arrived at the normal check-in time. I would stay here again for the price point.
The staff were awesome! Friendly, helpful, and acommodating. The communication before and during our stay was great (texting, prompt responses on Booking.com, a real person answered the phone when I called). The front desk is staffed 24/7. They offer baggage hold. The free bagels and coffee in the morning were lovely. The location is convenient. The room was clean.

United StatesThe bathroom shower didn’t have a door so the floor would just get wet while you showered, the TV remote did not have a back to it, so the batteries were exposed, which I found to be very ghetto 😅
I like that the property was on a very quiet street compared to others, and I also like how clean the room was.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaThe location was OK. The description implies that it is near restaurants and other stores, but it is not. When I arrived, the front desk staff person could not be more rude. She glared at me as if daring me to ask to check in. She clearly hates the job and doesn't give a hoot about providing basic customer service. This is sort of typical of low-paid employees throughout NYC, so it's no surprise, but still not pleasant to deal with. My television did not work, I could not get the room to heat up (wall thermostat didn't seem to work.) The front desk attendant leaves at 11pm, so I could't do anything about this. My bathroom sink was not in the bathroom, it was near the bed. There were no options to switch on the sconce lighting, so I had to put up with bright lights or no lights at all. The mattress was sitting on a huge wooden platform that you can stub your toes on if you're not too careful. Also, the mattress size was definitely a full, not a queen. The only trash can in the room was a tiny one next to the toilet so I had to walk back into the bathroom to throw anything away. The towels were extremely small as if they were intended for babies. The floor in the room is actually concrete, but I suppose that's why it's "pet friendly." I checked out before the continental breakfast was served, so I don't know what that was like. The front desk person who checked me out was even worse than the one who checked me in. She was like a DMV employee with the worst attitude and control freak energy which made me feel like I had just stayed overnight in a government-run hotel. The only good thing about this place is that I tried to cancel via Booking because I thought I found a different place to stay, but Baltic kept my reservation! Whew.
I liked the last-minute availability.

JapanI had some issues with my room. The sink did not drain well, and there was no closet or hangers-just a bar on the wall for clothes. The ac/fan also did not work and I had to open the window to feel comfortable in the room. Breakfast was very sugary, and coffee was not very tasty—ended up going to a cafe.
Staff was friendly and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt taken care of,and provided excellent service. Because of them, I had a good stay at the hotel.
