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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesFor the room we stayed in, there was an odd motion activated light that is part of the under-bed luggage storage, built into the bed frame. The light came on if one of us walked by to use the restroom at night, and it was very bright. Our room was well lit during the day and had other softer, better lighting for use if we really needed to look into this cubby (which we kept empty, did not need to put a suitcase under the bed). I would recommend disabling these odd and unnecessary under-bed motion activated lights or providing a switch to keep off at night so that bright lights don’t flood the room when partners or guests are sleeping.
Room was comfortable, very quiet (stayed on a higher floor), clean, and smelled great. The bathroom was very nice, cool fixtures and tile work. We went to a great live jazz show at the middle bar/restaurant and had a good time. The overall environment and condition of the hotel is excellent. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. I’ve stayed in hotels all around the city for my work trips, and this is one of my new favorites. I would definitely stay here again if I needed to be located in this particular area again, or if I was catching a show at a theatre nearby. The location is close to times square, but felt a good, manageable distance from the most chaotic regions. Also a very easy walk up to Upper West Side and Central Park.

United KingdomRooms are smaller than expected, but the hotel does quote the sizes, and NY is premium property, so what do you expect. Pay more, get a bigger room, our friends went bigger, and we possibly should have, but that was our decision at the time, we were happy in ours. Next time we will go bigger for longer stays.
Friendly staff, great location. Smaller rooms than expected, but you get what you pay for. And if you’ve ever lived and worked in central London, it’s no different. We just wanted a great location, somewhere to get a great sleep, with friendly staff and people, what more can you ask for. Great stay, thank you to all the staff that made us welcome, and we would not hesitate to recommend Civilian Hotel to friends and family, for shorter stays, or upgrade your room if you need more space, for longer stays. Had everything we needed for a short stay, 3 nights to visit US friends in NY.

United StatesHaving to pay extra for maid service. Having to download an app to order any extra services. Coffee not being ready until 7AM. Our early departure for the airport required coffee at 6:30. A self service breakfast for $30 a head wasn’t worth it. The choices and selection were worth less than $30. A small ledge accessible by the person sleeping in the side of the bed against the wall would have been appreciated
The style of the decor. The location near our activities. The illuminated cubby beneath the bed provided extra room in this tiny room (we did pick the smallest, cheapest room). The small square footage was made doable by smart design choices: good mini reading lights, a tray next to the bed with outlets, the upholstered built in chair that doubled as a luggage rack. Very friendly helpful staff (extra bonus: rocket the dog!) Really comfortable bed and pillows. Room darkening shade, operated automatically.

United StatesFewer amenities (no coffee in room) than expected, and the shower design had water splashing all over the bathroom floor, so multiple towels were necessary.
