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 reviewPenthouse was Ok, the Sofa bed was not comfortable. There was cockroaches on the balcony. The main issue is that i've pre paid for early check-in and made my plans accordingly, then on the arrival night I've received notification from hotel that early check in is not possible, then this goes bad even more as the room wasn't ready for check in in 3pm while we were after red eye flight and we got poor refund although staff and management was very nice, the refund was very poor. other then that, it is a lovely penthouse and i would recommend for people who look to stay at upper west.

Verified reviewGreat neighborhood. Walked back to the hotel after midnight and it was perfectly safe. I passed a woman walking by herself. And Riverside Park is right out their front door. Very good coffee, cleaning staff and front desk people friendly and helpful.
The room was a little small.

Verified reviewRiver view, good location. Not a touristy area, walkable to Natural History Museum, Central Park, good restaurants, public transportation but be prepared for 45-60 min on foot, bus, and/or subway to get to some of the touristy sites. AC worked well, rooms clean. Elevators small.
Not enough storage/hooks for bags and clothes. Hand holds for the ladder to get up on the upper bunk needed.

Room was a match box...for two people there was no room...bed was pushed against wall so getting out of bed was difficult when the other was sleeping. Bathroom was tiny as well, toilet and shower room. I will only stay there when I'm by myself

The bathroom could have been located in a common spot connecting both rooms instead of being in one room to ensure privacy

Verified reviewGood location right on the park, very nice staff and the rooms are well designed.
Tiny tiny room but very well designed and appointed. Literlaly you walk in and jump on the bed, nowhere for a suitcase so if you travel light, perfect.
