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...).

Everything was as described. Make sure to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast too!

IsraelThe back exit of the hotel to Bowery Street was unpleasant
We got a room that had noise from the outside and I asked to change rooms, the service was impeccable and great and they moved us straight to another upgraded room without asking for an additional payment. The location of the hotel was amazing, we couldn't have asked for a better location. In the morning there is excellent coffee and great free pastries for guests. I can say in general that me and my partner enjoyed the stay and recommend it to others

United StatesWe arrived very late at night/early in the morning. Since the front of the alley is not lit, it was a little intimidating looking for the entrance for the first time.
We couldn't have found a better place to stay! The location was perfect for exploring LES and Little Italy. Would highly recommend this hotel.

United StatesThey tried charging me for smoking in the room where I absolutely did not. The room comes with a private outside terrace. I made sure to smoke outside at all moments with terrace door closed. 150$ to remove the smell from outside air is rich.

Super clean. Hip clientele. Fantastic location. 10-15 minute walk to Greenwich Village or Chinatown. Great coffee at breakfast. Seemed safe and secure.

First time in NYC and we were lucky to have 10th floor rooms on the corner so had fantastic views!! Super comfortable beds, choice of pastries and drinks in the morning (does not run out as allocated one per person) excellent location, felt safe. Would definitely stay here again.

FranceThe mattress was too soft for us, giving the impression that we were sleeping on the duvet. Although breakfast was complimentary, you only get one drink and one pastry, which is hardly a breakfast. Also, our request for a room with a view (as was mentioned in the booking description) was not accommodated.
Overall, it is a pleasant establishment with an excellent location. The complimentary morning coffee is a thoughtful touch. We are grateful that the staff kindly allowed us to leave our luggage after checking out.

United StatesLove the coffee and the croissant for breakfast in such a lovely room. Very civilized. Love the design of the rooms. Close to LES and EV for great affordable food and of course I always visit Apple Soho. And Christine Chen for Face products! There were 4 artists in the alleyway putting up new art. Was fun to watch the process.
