How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe hotel is very well-positioned and the staff are lovely - really helpful and friendly
It was strange to find that the room didn’t have a bar fridge. So if you want to buy drinks you need to leave them in the fridge in the foyer - which is somewhat inconvenient

Verified reviewWe liked the location - close to Subway stations and the lovely Madison Square Park. Our room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast was great. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Although we could make a cup of tea and take it up to our room, it would have been nice to have a kettle to make one in our room. When on holiday, a cup of tea in bed is always a treat I look forward to.

Verified reviewThe staff is very pleasant
We had stayed previously many years ago and enjoyed the food and drink offerings they had throughout the day. Basically, coffee and water was all that was available. While they said soft drinks there were none and I was directed to the pizza place down the street. There were refrigerators in the rooms previously, they are now gone. There is no bar on premises to enjoy a glass a wine or cocktail. If you are looking for bananas or clementine and Cliff bars, this place is for you.

Verified reviewWell placed.
Our toilet backed up and flooded the floor with sewage water. This meant we had to move rooms. But they couldn’t keep us in the same room so we had to move the following night too. The 3rd night in 3rd room that toilet backed up. Phones in rooms dont work so couldn’t call to get attention and had to go down in PJs. The fridges in all 3 rooms didn’t work. The breakfast was pointless and poor. WiFi is slow. Despite all this hassle - the only thing the hotel staff did was say sorry. No compensation, not discount, not even a bottle to of something.

The woman in charge on breakfast could be more pleasant even when we mistakenly took out the wrong toast bread out of the toaster.

Verified reviewGreat location, close to plenty of attractions, nice and quiet, lovely fresh flowers around the hotel.
Snacks available all day, fine, but felt slightly disappointed, hotel information made it sound like there would be great variety and even a wine evening, it was very basic offerings. Also the outside space on the 12th floor is disappointing, no bar to get a drink, felt like a place to have a smoke really. Breakfast was fairly basic.

Verified reviewThis is a lovely hotel the staff are so helpful nothing is too much bother. The rooms were very clean and for NYC they are spacious with a balcony for access to light and air. Lots of extras as breakfast is included making mornings a great get up and go experience with no necessity to stop and/or find somewhere. The breakfast is very good. There is a roof top space too perfect for morning coffee, afternoon or evening drinks. We stayed in 2 rooms as a multi generational family and we had the best time. We have paid significantly more in NYC for a hotel and Hotel Giraffe is definitely the most comfortable, enjoyable, well placed and value for money. We loved it.
Theres nothing not to like particularly at this price point
