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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesNothing.
Wonderful, renovated rooms in an historic midtown hotel! Fabulous bar food and service (great truffle fries and martinis). Breakfast was amazing - best French toast imaginable. Managed to feel both upscale and down home friendly at the same time.

United KingdomNoisy aircon. Comfortable room, but not really big enough as we had large suitcases, having come over on QM2 liner. Cleaning could have been more thorough. At weekend, front desk proclaimed they ‘didn’t do concierge’ so couldn’t help with reservations or even recommendations. Except Deina who was very friendly and helpful.
Well placed, easy to get a cab or public transport. Generally friendly staff. We were the only non American guests. Good bar and food service, nice breakfasts, but a great local diner next door also. Grand Art Deco styling. Nice almost family feeling to hotel.

United StatesEven though Marriott closed the Oak Room, the spirit of the Algonquin is stronger than any corporate makeover. Now, I'm just an old ad guy musing about how a little promotion around the Gonk's place in history could lead to something other than having to make more space for PowerPoint presentations. But I digress...
Thanks again to the Algonquin and staff. Also, both gentlemen attending our transportation to and from the hotel did us right too. Our taxis were waiting on us as we stepped out every time. We also had dinner the night we arrived. The missus had the truffle fries and house salad. I had the burger and fries. They were both excellent. Cooked right, served right and attended to dutifully with a smile. To Marriott's credit they did do a classy job of moving the Blue Bar inside the lobby/dining room. Keeping the round table and giving it a hallowed spot in a cove is pretty sweet too. We'll be back, again.

The meals and cocktails and staff were great; true to New York in general, food/beverages were very expensive. The historic nature of the hotel is wonderful, and the menus contain many interesting footnotes about the property!

United StatesOf course, being in NYC, the room was smaller than I would have liked.
For us, the location was perfect -- safe, near many good restaurants and other places we wanted to visit. We love the history of the Algonquin, and even though the hotel has been renovated, they have tried to maintain its importance in New York's literary history.

United StatesRooms were small. Not much that can be done, I’m sure. Loved the $45/day credit although didn’t really get to use it and it pales in comparison to cost of a Merlot glass of wine ($24 per glass).

United StatesThe staff were professional and very friendly, from the desk, to the valet to the waiter. Hamlet oversaw check-in, was gracious, did't say much, probably had a long day, he did tolerate gentile petting ('H', is an orange tabby). In the morning we had a top-notch breakfast with excellent coffee. The location couldn't have been better as it was barely a five minute walk to The Town Hall, where our event was. Easy! If you appreciate history, art, theater, good food and drink (+ handsome feline concierge), this is a great place for a special New York experience.
