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.).

GermanyCould become quite noisy due to restaurants at street level and limited insulation by the windows but Massa Bistro is definitely worth visiting, door to bathroom might deserve a renovation.
Central location with most spectacular attractions and tram station close by, short walking distance to Grand Bazaar and very friendly staff. Overall nice building and fantastic view from 5th floor rooms as well as the terrace on 6th floor (breakfast).

United KingdomIt could be noisy at night as it is in the very busy restaurant areas with music and much more. We loved it but if you need peace and quiet not for you.
Excellent location for access to the main attractions of the old city. Very good transport links especially the trams. Hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were attentive, helpful and welcoming

Australia⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Stay at Anthemis Hotel! From the moment we checked in at the Anthemis Hotel, we were greeted with warmth and exceptional Turkish hospitality. The check-in process was smooth and the staff was incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home from the start. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, providing a perfect blend of modern amenities with traditional Turkish touches. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere and attention to detail in every corner of the hotel. Breakfast was an absolute delight! The spread included a variety of fresh and delicious options of local Turkish delicacies. The food was beautifully presented, and the staff ensured that everything was replenished and guests were well taken care of. The genuine hospitality of the staff truly stood out. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, offering personalized recommendations and always greeting us with a smile. It’s evident that they take pride in ensuring every guest has an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a hotel that combines comfort, culture, and exceptional service, Anthemis Hotel is the place to be. Highly recommended 👌

United StatesThe bunk bed room is in a corner with no view and lacks ventilation, since the AC didn’t work I requested a fan but none was provided. I opened the windows but still too warm making it very difficult to rest & sleep
The location is perfect, within walking distance to all main attractions. The breakfast was really good with a nice view from the roof, very nice staff. They arranged Bosphorus tour as well :)

United Arab EmiratesNothing it was a perfect one, only be careful if you have a car that you can not park it any where, there is an otopark near by the hotel that charges 200 TL almost overnight which is a cheap price compared to the other private otoparks. The otopark is opposite to the hotel only 100 meters far on foot. Also the street is tight and taxis can barely come in this area easily. However it was manageable you will suit yourself after one day staying in the hotel.
Location, rooms are clean and neat, comfortable bed, delicious Turkish breakfast buffet, breathtaking terrace. Service provided by Mr Dogan is really impressive and he speaks english well. Mr Saif also the bell man is the man of everything, before you speak it up you will find him infront of you fulfilling your needs.

United StatesLocation is superb! Just a block from the T1 Tram. You can easily walk to Hagia Sofia, Sultanahmet, Basilica Cistern and all other attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Massa Bistro downstairs is associated with the hotel. Rooms are clean, good size and we had a great view of the Sultanahmet Mosque. Breakfast is served daily on the 6th floor and there's a great selection of Turkish options. Sinan, who manages the Breakfast area is awesome! Always attentive to guests. Hotel management is very professional and courtesy. Both Sakan & Duan were willing to help with directions, tips, recommendations and tour options. Should we return to Istanbul in the future, we'll definitely be back to the Anthemis.

GreeceThe balcony from the room. But it wasn't anyways a reason to choose this room. The short breakfast options. Still tasty tho!
My sister and I felt so welcome from the first minute! They were all so kind and helpful with us! The room was perfect for what we needed and the beds were really comfortable! We had free water bottles in the small fridge of the room and they even changed us the towels and provided us more shampoo etc when it was done! I chose this hotel for the amazing breakfast view and it didn't disappoint me!!! They also have a restaurant exactly next to the hotel and they provided us a 20% discount ❤️ I will definitely go again! ❤️

United KingdomThe hotel staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They were always on hand offer any advice or queries we may have had. They made us feel safe and comfortable especially as three young women travelling alone. The breakfast was always fresh and delicious. Our room was big and spacious with city and sea views which was stunning to see. One member of our team had a wheelchair. The team as Anthemis hotel did everything they could to make our stay accessible and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
