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.).

PolandThe walls were super thin and you could hear other people, sometimes snoring, sometimes shouting
Everything was matching the description. Very basic, tiny room in quite a good location. Nothing to complain about, except that it really was a absurdly small room, without any window. Exactly as in the description. The price was one of the lowest I could find. There was no problems at all during the stay. But it is hard to rate such a room with high grades. Ventilation worked great for such a tiny, closed room.

United StatesIt’s a good budget option, it keeps you on Manhattan but it gives you a NYC apartment feel with shared bathrooms that people leave their hair in the shower, and the tiny rooms.

United StatesRoom was very small, no windows, no AC (I knew that before so no surprise). Bathrooms could have been cleaner. Walls are very flimsy, you can hear other guests watching videos on their phone from your room.
Great location, you can walk almost everywhere, also, close to the subway. Luggage storage was free.

United StatesLack of an elevator and a huge flight of stairs at the front entrance makes it very difficult to carry luggage to and from the room, no TV may be a struggle for some, shared bathroom can be awkward at times, rooms are reasonably small, and the other tenants weren't very good at keeping quiet.
Well maintained room for the cheap price, helpful and nice staff, great location allows you to reach any spot in walking distance and subway easily, free and good wifi. I highly recommend it if you plan to spend most of your time out in the town and not in your hotel room, good price and very simple check in/check out. I was able to check in earlier than expected.

AustraliaTo be fair, this property had the lowest price with attached bathroom included. I did not expect that much from the accomodation, but it surpassed my expectations. The room we were provided was clean. Bed was very very basic but manageable. Toilets were clean.
This hotel is in a very close proximity to the grand station which is only 15 min train ride to the hotspots in manhattan such as time square, Central Park and even downtown areas
