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 KingdomThe only negatives were a lack of storage space, so we left everything in our cases and didn’t unpack, and one window was so drafy it was blowing the blind in!
The location of the hotel is fantastic and the facilities were great. We had a suite so it was great to have extra space.

United Arab EmiratesThe only downside was that we had an issue with the shower—it was broken when we arrived, and although the engineering team tried to fix it four times, it kept breaking again. Eventually, we gave up and had to manage with a broken shower for three days, which was disappointing.
The location is unbeatable—right near Central Park, Times Square, and within easy reach of so many iconic landmarks. The staff truly made the experience exceptional with their warmth and attentiveness. The hotel boasts two amazing restaurants, including a famous burger place that’s an absolute must-try. The room was spotless, the service impeccable, and the bed? Oh, the bed was so comfortable that leaving it in the morning was a real struggle—talk about relaxation!

CanadaWe had some issues when we arrived. My family arrived a little earlier than I did, so while waiting for me, they ordered some food immediately after checking in. The Thompson bar/lounge has a decent menu, so my wife and sister-in-law ordered their food while my 9-year-old daughter ordered a simple pasta dish. The adult food came out before the kid's meal came. My wife waited for the kid's meal, but it never arrived after numerous requests. When it finally arrived, it was cold, and, as a result, so was the rest of the meal due to the wait. (My family did not want to eat before the kid's meal arrived). My wife asked the server to speak with the manager and, again, requested it more than once, but they never came. When I showed up and was made aware of this, I complained directly to the front desk. Within minutes, the restaurant manager came and listened to our concerns. She was shocked to hear that when we requested to speak to her from our server, no one attempted to reach her. The hotel automatically comped the meal, so I appreciate that the Upper Management addressed the issue right away when they were made aware of it and did the right thing. I am more disappointed with how the service staff handled the situation by not addressing their supervisors immediately when the issue arose. This disconnect between upper management, who were on the ball with our concerns, and the service staff that seemed to dismiss any misgivings is something to be addressed. Other than this one incident, the rest of the stay was pleasant.
First, the Thompson is in a great location—within walking distance of Central Park, Broadway and Time Square. The Upper-level staff (Front Desk and Managers) were great. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good selection of food.

Saudi ArabiaTwo weeks prior to check-in, I requested support for an early check-in and received a positive response from the property. However, upon arrival, my request was declined, which I understand. I was assured that I would be notified via text once the room was ready, but no one followed up or reached out. It felt as though no one cared at all!
The location is convenient and well-situated. The room size is comfortable and spacious enough for a relaxing stay. Cleanliness is up to standard, with everything well-maintained and tidy.
