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.).

UkraineI stayed at this hotel for my birthday and it was an unforgettable experience! The interior is beautiful, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and the panoramic view of the city is simply breathtaking. There are so many pleasant little details that make the stay feel special, and the service is truly top-quality. The staff kindly allowed me a late check-out and surprised me with a lovely gift — champagne and sweets — which made my day even more memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and a unique New York experience.

Everything was beyond expectation, it should definitely deserve a 10/10 on booking.com. I booked the room for my wife's birthday, and the front desk manager upgraded us to a suite on the 19th floor, with one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. And a complimentary Prosecco bottle. EVERYTHING was perfect, thoughtful, beautiful, classy. I don't know how I can thank you more. Definitely recommend it!

United StatesThere wasn't anyplace to put my toiletries bag, watch etc. I would minimize the merchandise to give clients more room. Also, a quilt would have been nice. The comforter was too hot.
The Hotel is beautiful and everyone is extremely nice.

AustraliaThe staff were exceptional at this hotel. It was my first time visiting New York and wanted to have a better view of the city, so after the first night they moved me to a higher floor which I was very appreciative of. The bed was super comfortable, facilities were really nice, and decor was generally very chic.

United StatesBreakfast service at Dirty French was slow, the waiter even seemed irritated that we were there. We had to ask for butter, jam, salt, pepper and ketchup when our breakfast arrived and the drinks (matcha and chai) were not hot. The food tasted good, but was served lukewarm and service was lackluster. When we ordered room service, however, food was warm and delicious.
Everything about our stay was perfection. The view from the Skybox Loft was incredible, the staff were warm and helpful, the lounge’s fireplace was a cozy refuge after long days spent wandering the city, and the location fit our needs perfectly. We 100% recommend the Ludlow!

AustraliaSkyloft room had a double bed and was poorly lit even when we asked for an extra lamp. We stayed one night in our son’s room with a king size bed in lower level - much better
Friendly staff with very quick responses to extras for rooms. Close to subways and buses. Bar area well lit and great variety of small dishes and drinks. Would recommend normal rooms rather than spending more on the skyloft rooms - just go up to the roof top for free and great views of the area.

United KingdomQueen loft room with tub- was an incredible room, the staff were so hospitable, the rooms were clean, sound was so minimal. You can’t hear any rooms around you and hardly anything outside (apart from sirens which is expected). Location was perfect- explore the streets around here so many cute cafes, bars and boutiques. Wish there was a Ludlow in the other cities I’ve visited as I would stay with them again

Absolutely loved the Ludlow hotel. We chose to stay here as we were coming to New York to get married. We treated ourself to a sky loft room and wow it was totally worth it! The view was amazing, particularly when the sun come through in the mornings. The location was great, easy to get a bus or the subway or walk.. the location felt much more authentic New York, I would compare to Shoreditch in London. The room was kept clean, room service amazing and every day it was spotless with new fresh towels. The bed was comfy too! There was also a nice bar to hang out in the lobby, which did food and snacks and you could always get a spot there to sit. Finally the reception staff were great, they took my wedding flower delivery in for me and put it in my room and when we asked for a steamer they were straight up with it. I honestly had the best time staying here and can’t wait to come back again.
