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'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):
- 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...).

Basin was a bit small. There was always some noise from the streets (building sites, ambulances or police, etc.), but i think that's not avoidable in NY. The bathroom door and wall is completely transparent, be aware if you're not travelling with your partner.
Very small room, but perfect for us since we were out all day sightseeing. It was very clean and well kept daily, near Central St. which is a really good hub for exploring NY. Lots of nice places to eat around. The day we checked out, they kept our luggages for the whole day with no charge. Wifi was good.

It was a bit too noisy at night, due to either A/C or construction in front of the hotel.
Location is great, very central, close to many restaurants, groceries etc. Very clean and minimalistic, while I had everything I needed in a smaller area. Coffee service every morning in a very nice lounge was also much appreciated.

The room was too narrow and small even we had a queen room. Also, there is a glass door to the bathroom next to the bed. This brings more intimacy :) also, there is no other ventilation for the bathroom. This is a huge problem because after the shower the humidity gets high. Also we had a hard time to close the glass door for the bathroom it was not working properly. It was hard to open the windows to get fresh air.
The location was amazing. It is close to the main touristic areas. The staff was helpful. Also the rooftop has an amazing view. The room was clean all the time.

The size of the room is rather small, especially for two people with small handluggage, but for that prize it’s still absolutely worth it. Unfortunately, the rooftop area was closed off during the visit.
Great location not far from the Times Square area. The room had a wonderful view of the Empire State Building which was a very welcome surprise. Everyone at reception was welcoming and friendly as well. There’s also free coffee in the morning which I loved very much.

The hotel took a deposit as a guarantee which is quite understandable. However, this guarantee payment was almost 1.5 times the actual payment and although more than 3 weeks have passed, it still appears as a provisional payment in my credit card. And the hotel did not provide a great assistance to resolve this. I hope they will fix this soon!
I was generally satisfied with the hotel. It was clean and had a great location. The room was small but ok.
