Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Decor is a bit plain — contrasts with the classic exterior.
Very clean and well situated. Very attentive and friendly staff. Front desk staff in particular. The failing “check in” texts were a nice touch.

You could hear everything people said out in the hallway. Thin wall or door!
Love the property and the staff were so kind. I had requested a room away from elevator because I’m a light sleeper. Didn’t get one which is fine but the reason I’m giving it an 8 star and not 9 is because you could really hear everything people in the hallway were saying. Other reason I took one star away from my review is I could never get the tv to sync to my phone and couldn’t watch anything but what was on the local channels. But I love this hotel and would def stay again.

There is no pot for tea and no coffee in the room. The room was close to some air condition from outside and always there was smell of fried food. Not enough waredrobes for family vacation. It is quite expensive for that quility of hotel and the breakfast also - extremely expensive for 5 things variety.
Wonderful place - easy to go to all the museums, Summit, the favourite Brayant park. Very clean and polite staff

It was so cool staying in this amazing historic hotel. The building is amazing with its architecture from the early 1900s, but the inside is completely updated while not losing the charm of the past. The rooms have comfortable robes and beds, huge shower and electric blinds. The location is right at Times Sq and also at a huge subway hub so you can just hop on a subway within a few steps. The staff was amazing! So helpful, friendly and courteous. We were checked in by Luz and she was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

I was happy with the price vs quality but to my mind it isn't 5 star by London standards and I'm not sure about 'Leading Hotels of the World' but it is noticeably cheaper than other 5 stars so I haven't marked it down for that. Only real criticism is that there were stains on the carpet and chips in the paint so it didn't feel polished like I would expect from a 5 star. Also it didn't bother us but there is only a curtain separating the bedroom from the bathroom so not much in the way of privacy.
The location is perfect if you want to be in Times Square, it's obviously extremely busy outside at all times but you are located nicely to see all of the sites and explore the city, there is a subway station about a 1 minute walk away. The rooms are very large and the beds are extremely comfortable, it also surprised us how well insulated the rooms were so it was quiet at night and we slept well. The staff were all friendly and accommodating.

The view from our room was really bad and they started drilling at 8am because our room was facing the back of another building and they were trying to fix something on another building.
It was so convenient and the rooms were such a good size. The rooftop bar was stunning! And the concierge Stephanie was absolutely lovely - she was beyond amazing and we are so grateful to her for advising what we should do in New York.

few negative 1- deposit of a $150 each night is a lot!! And it can take up to a week go back onto your card 2- no hair dryer or tea or coffee in the room 3 - The roof top bar lift, was told we could use it to get to our room but every time was told to use another lift even tho it was free and no one waiting - Annoying
The hotel is in a great location just off Times Square only a min walk away Plus you can see the new year ball from the roof top bar ( currently under development at the min the new year ball tho) Overall had a good time at the hotel, not sure I would call it “ 5 star more 4

Would probably choose a somewhat quieter part of town next visit.
Staff, especially concierges, were excellent—very helpful with restaurant reservations and friendly. Maid service twice a day. Area (Times Square) is very central, close to theatres, but also very loud. Hotel does a surprisingly good job of blocking out the noise. Breakfast was good, albeit expensive.
