Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

GermanyThe apartment is situated close to the metro station, so it’s very easy to commute anywhere. The apartment is both close to the city but also in the quiet area so it’s perfect for resting and relaxing.

ItalyEverything was just fine! We would probably appreciated a bit darker curtains as the ones we had were quite transparent and didn’t allow us to sleep much (but that was not a bad thing as we woke up early and explored NYC!)
Great location (metro is just a couple of minutes walking), very clean and spacious room. Very comfortable bed! There are quite a few places to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Harlem is super authentic, highly recommend visiting :) (Also close to some of most famous gospel churches)

United KingdomHosts were fantastic, could not have been more helpful with some great recommendations of where to eat and getting around. Apartment amenities were ideal for us and very easy to get to the subway. Huge amount of space - even more impressive as it is in NYC. Thanks so much for a great week.

DenmarkExcellent apartment and the location is very good. Quiet but close to subway station, grocery store, restaurants, etc. Short ride with the subway to Manhattan, Times Square and other points of interest. The apartment was very clean and the hosts are great, always ready to assist if needed. Will surely stay again if I go back to New York.

GreeceAlthough the subway was very close, it was a local station, and the trains didn't stop there after a certain time at night (not too late, e.g. after 9 or 10pm), so you had to stop either at the previous or at the next stop and walk for 10-15 minutes.
Friendly host, too spacious room, quiet neighborhood, very close to subway station, supermarket in 3 blocks distance

IrelandThere was no issues with the property. Getting the metro out to Harlem late at night felt seedy at times so worth bearing in mind, but that is more a city wide issue than the property.
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the street outside was quiet. The owner Mark was very friendly and helpful. There was signs of some light work done in the room just before my stay but this was explained by the owner and was to install a new air conditioning system that could be controlled within the room. The metro station was close to the property and always felt safe walking between them.

United States of AmericaWish they had better amenities. Five of us stayed for two nights and there were a tiny hotel size bottle of shampoo and a tiny soap. Same for coffee and creamer.. not enough for four adults and a teenager. Also found a vape previous guest left. Other than that, it was great.
Great location. Very quiet. Close to a subway station. We were able to find a street parking easily.

IrelandAs a family of four, we stayed in a two bedroom, ground floor apartment that also had a sofa bed. It had everything that was needed for our week long stay, microwave, oven/ cooker, toaster, coffee maker, full size fridge and freezer, dishwasher, cutlery, cups, dishes, reusable shopping bags, a hair dryer and so much more. It is a three minute walk to the subway which will take you anywhere in Manhattan easily. Our host Mark is super friendly and helpful and he made us feel very welcome. He brought us out for a walk to show us the nearest shop for supplies and the subway station. I highly recommend this wonderful property and I look forward to staying here again.

PolandWe were there in November (10-15 celsjus) and the room used to get chilli. There is a fan heater which suffices for one-time heating when it’s plugged but it doesn’t help at nights, so in the morning it tends to get cold. A proper warmer duvet would also be nice :)
Perfect location, close to many public transportation points. Clean, nice apartment sufficient for a few nights in NYC. Good, vibrant neighborhood. The host is very friendly and helpful.
