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.).

AustraliaI read reviews about the noise which I was concerned about. However, I wasn't bothered by the noise from the street too much. It was the noise from the air-conditioning system that really bothered me. It was so loud so I had to turn it off when I slept.
The location was convenient. They also give you cookies on arrival which were delicious.

TurkeyGreat front desk team - really cheerful, quick and willing to help. Good location close to Times Square - Broadway - Macys - Penn Station etc...Walkable in minutes. Housekeeping needs to be improved, floors are not vacuumed and there was a blood stain on one of the beddings we asked 2 times and 3 rd time it was changed but not the stained one unfortunately... Rooms are extremely smallll. As İ was reading the conments about how small the rooms were, 21 m2 how small it can be was what I thought but it is really quite not possible to move in the room, let alone opening a suitcase. In conclusion it was a nice stay for 8 nights but I would not stay here due to the size of the rooms :(

AustraliaNothing really, except the shower slightly leaked (not a big deal at all just used a hand towel to contain any spill)
Location was phenomenal! A brief walk from Penn Station - subway, train, and bus were all right there and super easy to get too. Great places to eat near by and we could easily walk to big attractions like Times Square, MSG, Empire State etc. Facilities were fantastic and it was far less squishy than we were expecting.

GreeceThe area around the hotel late at night after 10pm was not safe. The staff was typical, however could be friendlier.
The breakfast menu has a la carte options although the hotel has and buffet. Perfect location if you need to use metro stations. The room had a perfect view of the Empire state building and was very clean.

United StatesLike all hotels in the area, the rooms are a little small and you might have to wait a bit for the elevator, but if you've gotta be in midtown, it's better than most options.
I love that Doubletree still does the warm chocolate chip cookies. Classic. This place was comfy and clean and its location—while chaotic—is helpful if you've gotta be in midtown. It checks all the boxes if you need to be in this area for a night or two.

United States*It would have been nice if all the USB ports worked in the room. We had to go to Target to buy things to accommodate them not being usable. *Ice machine for every floor. It was inconvenient having to go to another floor to get ice. *Windows open to 2.5 inches vs 1.5 inches
Fit just perfect. After traveling all day from the West coast, we were welcomed by Benjamin and a cute girl at the front desk (forgot your name - sorry! She won the Christmas sweater contest). They made our check-in seamless, they were friendly & answered all of our 'tourist' questions without hesitation. Our King bed w/ Empire State Building view was perfect for us, two people - there is no way a 3rd could fit, small but to be expected for NYC. The view from our 26th floor room was well worth the extra $ for it, it even had a fridge which helped out tons! Location is good - close to a lot of things. Penn Station is a couple feet away and Times Square about 10 minutes. Location is a perk but the staff is why we will return to this specific location. One night, I mentioned nonchalantly to the front desk that the ac was limited to going to 68º and even with the window opened (max 1.5 inches), the room would not cool. We need the room cooler than 68º to sleep comfortably - when this was mentioned, a manager (I believe) popped her head out of non-noticeable doors to an office - and said that she could help w/lowering of the temp. Instead of ignoring the issue (like a lot would have) she made herself known & contributed to finding a solution! Every staff member that we came into contact with was pleasant and friendly. A+ to the DoubleTree TEAM for going above & beyond!! It starts at the top - this manager is a go’getter & you’ll see that her team is too. Because of this - we'll be back! =) Thank you!! See you guys September 2025. Oh - and those complimentary cookies (YUM!!) and bottles of water ... it's the little things :o)

United KingdomThe bed was wide but slightly shorter than standard, so my feet poked off the end (I'm 5'10"/1m78). The rooftop bar was meant to be open during my stay but one time I tried to use it I was told that it was closed as there were no bar staff. There was some street noise but I expected that, and it was fine with ear plugs.
Handy midtown location and great views from the room (I booked a room with a view) and in particular the rooftop bar. The room and bathroom were nice and comfortable, with nice lighting and good blackout curtains as well as a sheer curtain, and I didn't notice any noise from other rooms or the corridor. I appreciated having a wardrobe and fridge in the room. The staff were friendly.

The hotel’s proximity to all the major attractions in Manhattan was incredibly convenient. Additionally, the easy access to the subway and connectivity to JFK Airport was a plus. Thank you for providing such a fantastic experience, i will definitely recommend this hotel to others.
