Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The hostel is in a good location, close to central park and manhathan

NetherlandsNegative: Cockroaches!! In the bathroom, a lot of them. Broken old radiator. Was like a little volcano, making noise and expelling steam. They said it was normal, but the whole night i was afraid it would explode and give me a fountain of boiling water. There were no towels and no real blankets, just sheets. Pillow wrapped in plastic and feels like you sleep on a big package of M&Ms, making crackling sounds. There was no adapter from European to American power socket at the desk (sad, I couldn't charge my phone or computer). I got a headache, after that broken heating. No payment online via booking. (it delivered a lot of stress, because I couldn't pay immediately).
Positive: friendly and very informal people at the desk. Hot water (bring your own tea bags and cup though). Location is super. Room - not bad. For the 50 euro I got a room for my own. A bit depressing grey bunk bed, but for the rest pretty nice. Even nice old chest. Nice: images in the corridor. Elveator works well. Enough bathrooms. Design (red pipes on the ceiling, weird but cool). Nice: there was an exit to fire stairs from my window. I could use it as a private balcony. Nice: Fridge to use. Chill space to work. People with dogs allowed. Longer stays deals allowed. (good!)

NetherlandsThere was a loud noise from a valve that could not be closed. The window could also not be closed properly which made the room cold. Besides that the window was very thin glass, so the noise from the street got right through. The washing table was broken and the toilet could not be flushed properly. Besides that, no towels were offered. The worst of all was that the door was slammed before so I could get in the room without a key easily. That made me very uncomfortable. All in all, a bad experience.
I thought I had booked a private room, because it read "single room" on Booking.com. But it turned out to be a double room in the end with another guy. Very strange situation it was.
