Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaThe blanket for your pod could be thicker. If they could provide a lock or something for the locker as well, that would be nice.
Location is perfect! And the staff were friendly. :) For my short stay where I just needed a place to sleep for the most part, it was exactly what I needed.

Portugaltoilets could be cleaned 2x a day considering the high usage.
The place was very quiet and modern and the people were nice. It was clean enough, considering what you can expect from a hostel.

Austriathe bunk beds are constructed with steel sheets which looks really cool and modern but get really noisy when you touch it or only even scratch it by accident.

AustriaAll the furniture is black and there is no good lighting, makes you feel like it's nighttime all the time, kind of depressing. The rooms were very cold at times and the blanket that was provided is very thin and short as well. A second blanket was an additional charge, which I find inappropriate. The laundry service costs 10 USD which is a lot compared to other hostels and I didn't even get a dryer sheet because they were out at the moment. The common areas are made such that people are discouraged from interacting or staying there too long.
Very good location, close to Central Park, Broadway etc

CanadaMy main gripe that the light turns on too easily when people enter the room, it is too bright, and that top bunks are not sufficiently sealed to prevent light from coming in. The AC doesn't work that well so summers can be tough, and windows don't really block outside noise.
Amazing location, and the property is very well kept for what it is (a decently old building near central park).

ArgentinaTHere was nothing I didn´t like, but if I have to comment some things: staff could have been friendlier (they are okay, not rude or anything, but they don´t want to talk with you) and price was a bit high, but this is NYC after all.
Great place to sleep quietly in the middle of the city - do not expect a social hostel or a place where you´ll make friends, Nap York is more a place to relax, enjoy the city during the day and have a safe place to sleep at night. I stayed in the 2 bed female pod and the room was spacious, nice and comfortable. The bathroom was nice, although it had some mold on the floor (nothing too serious). Storage space was okay. Bed was comfortable and big, although I thought it was a bit different from what they should you in the pictures. The curtain is a nice touch and it gives privacy

SpainThe quality of the towel was not the best, and a hairdryer is not provided. The code panel for my room did not work perfectly, so it was a bit noisy when people came in or out.
The location was the best. The price is very good for the location and the value. The beds are really comfortable and well designed so it feels that you have a private space even though your are sharing room.
