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...).

All rooms share a common kitchen, so you may have to share space with other people, but that can also be a good thing!
Owner was very friendly and flexible. Facilities are clean and spacious.

The walls are kind of thin and we had very loud neighbours for the last few days of our stay. The bathroom cleanliness can be improved.
The host was wonderful, supplied us with everything we needed. The apartament was very close to the subway station. The bed were clean and very comfy. There's also plenty of space for luggage in the room.

The position can be great or not ideal depending on where one needs to commute to. Commuting to specific zones of NYC was always possible, but sometimes took a little longer than desired. While the room had evidently been cleaned, it has surely not been done thoroughly for a while under the beds. The rest seemed clean, but we were quite disappointed and would recommend more care in cleaning and washing.
The room was big, the house was functional, the staff was nice and the self check-in and out were very easy and convenient. The room has a real kitchen that can be very handy. The house is overall clean. The neighborhood is full of Indian restaurants and cafes, which we loved.

You should know that the rooms are part of an apartment with other guests in other rooms. This is not necessarily bad as it gives you the opportunity to meet other travelers. You share a toilet with 2-3 other rooms and the kitchen with the entire apartment. The door to the apartment did not feel very secure.
the location is perfect if you are planning a trip into NYC as the PATH train on Journal Square is 7 minutes away on foot. The apartment is located in the middle of Indiatown in Jersey City. It is also great value for money. It was hard to find anything cheaper than this and the rooms were very comfortable.

The noise! But we spoke to you and you said you will be installing soundproofing. Good idea!!! Generally speaking, it needs art on the walls and an extra blanket in the bedroom closet. We had to search out hangers so some should be in the room on arrival. I think hand towers would be helpful since bathe is shared.
The location was wonderful! Please remember to correct your advertising that states 6 min walk to Penn St NJ to the PATH Train at Journal Square. It was very convenient but very confusing at first because of this. The property is good but needs some TLC. The entrance is rough and the landing upstairs needs cleaning and rearranging so we don’t see cleaning equipment strewn in the corner. That is our first impression of the place.

The bathroom was a little dirty. The property is located in the Main Street of the Indian area so if you don’t like the smell of the food or being in a busy area with some noise people, you shouldn’t stay here
The location is really good and very convenient if you plan going to NYC by Path. It’s like 10min walking from it. The room was very clean and spacious, the staff was so friendly and welcoming
