Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesThere was only one thing that really annoyed me about the stay. I had come in after a long day of walking in the city and had my feet up on a footstool in the lounge. And a server came up and very snootily told me to take my feet off of it. When I pay $600 friggin bucks a night and am a paying customer having a beverage, I'd like to be able to get comfortable. I wasn't being disrespectful to the vibe or the furniture. It literally is a footstool.
One of my favorite hotel stays of all time — it's so clean, luxe, interesting, and comfortable. It was just me and my 11-year-old daughter who stayed and we felt like queens. The big bathtub in our room looked over the city, which was just EVERYTHING.

SingaporeThe gym isn’t great. It’s not terrible but is small and can get very crowded at peak times. The giant weight machine in the middle needs to be thrown in the trash.
Likely the nicest hotel outside of midtown or downtown area in NYC. The room was spectacular with fantastic city views. Bathroom and tub are huge. Bed is really comfy. The room service food and restaurant downstairs is great. I ate there multiple times and all the food hit. Service is exceptional. Shout out to my man Omar working there.

United KingdomBalcony furniture could have done with a clean/tidy, but only a small thing, overall a lovely hotel. I found the F train subway slightly less regular than other lines.
Lovely bar and lounge area, super friendly and helpful staff and comfy bedroom. Bit of outside noise but I was in quite a low room, so if city noise bothers you then I’d go for room on a high floor. Had a balcony which was brilliant! Great area with lots of food/drink/entertainment offer but outside of the midtown tourist area. Five minutes from the subway.
