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.).

CanadaThey over charged me what I confirmed on booking.com $300 CDN for 3 nights, They charged me $306. USD for 3 nights. They over pre authed my credit card by nearly $500. Which ruined our trip for my daughters 25th birthday. We saved for this trip and were so excited to see this art boutique hotel. What a dump and to be fraudulently overcharged on top of it. Checked out on March 1st and still causing unbelievable stress trying to clear this up between booking.com and the property. The responsibility of making this right is between booking.com and the Moderne. I'm left explaining over and over and just getting the run around. I've been booking reservations with Booking.com for years. I go to NYC often and have never been treated like this nor had such a hideous experience with the condition of the room. They've definitely not helped me make a great memory for my daughters birthday. The room was horrific. Filthy walls, cracking and peeling headboards. The beds were like sleeping on a pull out sofa. The pillows were gross and obviously years old. ALL of the pictures below are from the room. The young man who checked us in was very sweet. He was very nervous, he obviously knew what we were getting ourselves into and has suffered many complaints about the condition of the rooms. Door man also very pleasant. The woman at the desk in the morning just looked right through me when I tried to explain the situation. No care or empathy at all. She also must be worn down by all of the complaints.
The shower. Housekeeper left plenty towels and shower gel.

United StatesThe room was 76 degrees. We couldn't sleep, so we changed the thermostat from heat to cool. An hour later, the temperature was 83. Turned the thermostat off completely, but the room never cooled down. We got no sleep. If you can't sleep in your hotel room, nothing else matters. We'll never go back again.

GermanyWhen we arrived our room had been given to someone who extended their stay. We were given no notice and when arrived were given little information but told very sheepishly that our room was gone but there was a room in their sister hotel. And not to worry the price would be the same. We were then asked to sign a paper to get the rate without confirming if the hotel was similar or better quality etc. The hotel was close by but after checking prices it turns out we were charged more than if we’d make the booking that day. It could easily have ruined our long awaited one night stay in NY but I was determined not to let it. After a lot of promises we left the hotel not knowing what rate we would be charged but finally we got some money returned for the inconvenience. I was really shocked at the poor service and how this was all dealt with.

United KingdomIf I had to pick anything I would say having a coffee/ tea machine in the room would have been nice additional touch. Also the carpet in the rooms themselves could do with a deep clean but honestly aside from that I can’t fault the hotel whatsoever.
Easy to locate- FANTASTIC location (10 minute walk to Times Square) Gorgeous modern lobby. All staff members were lovely & beyond helpful, no request was too much. They always greeted me with a smile & polite conversation. The daily housekeeping was great too, especially as I detest making my bed when on vacation. The hotel itself felt really safe too especially as a solo female traveler.

New ZealandI didn't like everything. All the photos showing on the website must have been taken when it was newly built!
There was nothing to like. Right from the start, the building is NOT what they show on the photo! Everything is old! Headboard was pealing, the smell in the room was stale. The only thing that was showing the same in the photo is the wallpaper. There were cochcroaches in the bathroom in the first room then moved to another - didn't see anymore crawlies so that was an improvement. but towels smells stale too. Was very disappointed.

CanadaThe shower was not working properly, after 3 minutes the water would become burning hot and another 3 min after it would return to the normal temperature and this will repeat in a loop until the shower was off. Also we got billed a higher amount of money than what was agreed on booking and after several rounds of talks with support (and despite of providing proof for the overcharge) the issue was not resolved. This is very disappointing, because otherwise our experience with the Moderne hôtel was very good.
The property was clean and very well located. The staff was polite and friendly.
