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.).

Nice place to stay but be mindful there is no elevator if your bags are heavy. They went out of there way to make us feel at home. It's in a quiet street and 25min from the city on the subway.

NetherlandsI had to be in Midtown and FIDI daily, so it's a bit of a journey from Harlem, so something to consider for guests. I heard other guests arriving late on a few occasions and being loud on the staircase going up to their rooms. Otherwise no noise.
Opulence is the first word that comes to mind. The room felt very luxurious. The staff was great and very flexible! The area was quiet and peaceful and close to Central Park. Public transport is very close by and easy to use. Restaurants too. I love the "no shoe" policy :)

United StatesFrom the moment we walked into Mont Morris' guest house, we felt at home! Mont was attentive and her home is lovely. Surrounded by interesting and inspiring art, we were able to easily unwind after a day of PT or an evening out. We felt safe in the neighborhood, and found everything we needed within a few blocks. We will definitely stay Soul Food again!

NetherlandsNo curtains, so you wake up with the lights. Shower head is too low, if you are higher than 170cm you have to kneel. The room is already small but it also has a high big bed and a giant set of drawers (a bit useless) in the middle that block a lot of space, so you constantly have to move things around and be careful not to bump into something. I felt a bit "trapped". A few hangers on the walls would also help to distribute your clothing. Otherwise the room was comfy.
Very clean, quiet, nice decoration, good internet, good location and quite good value for money (for NY always). I requested a fridge and some extra utensils and they were given to me. Also, the room was cleaned regularly.

AustriaThe New York apartment in Harlem was a fantastic find! Its cozy, well-maintained space offered a comfortable retreat in a vibrant neighborhood. Being in the heart of Harlem allowed for easy access to cultural experiences and diverse dining options. The apartment's amenities and friendly host made my stay truly enjoyable. I would gladly return to this charming spot in the future.

The room was very spacious, and had everything we needed to be comfortable including an air conditioning unit, fan, plenty of towels and bath products. Boothe was super accommodating and sweet to chat with, it was clear she cared a lot about her guests having a good stay.

United StatesNo real issues.
The detail on the inside of the brownstone was amazing, the room was huge and comfortable, and it was on a safe and quiet street. I came and went often over the course of a 3 night stay, and it was a fantastic location in terms of it being a short walk to the subway and easy to get over to Columbia via Uber as that is where I needed to be for part of the weekend. My room faced the front of the building and I was on the 3rd floor, and I didn't have any noise whatsoever either from outdoors or from others staying at the property.
