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.).

The hotel was at an amazing location!! It was a few mins away from the main attractions such as the hagia sophia mosque and blue mosque as well as topkapi palace. Location wise it can’t get better than this! I also really liked the service, the night receptionist was especially lovely and very friendly. The room itself was very clean. The view from the rooftop restaurant is exceptional and breakfast time was a pleasure with that view.

United KingdomIt was all good
Our bedroom with a balcony had an amazing view of the Blue Mosque. A unexpected delight to see this flood-lit spectacle when we arrived late evening. It was a good breakfast with wide choice of hot and cold food. The location on the roof top terrace was a winner with 360 degree views over central Istanbul including Hagia Sofia, the Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The hotel manager was extremely helpful to us in quickly arranging a taxi to the airport when our taxi pre-booked on Booking.com failed to arrive.

United KingdomNothing to complain about.
Travelling alone for the first time felt a little daunting but I felt really at ease upon checking into the Aristocrat. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and were chatty and interested in my trip. The room was pristine, secure and safe. I travelled in June, it was very hot but the AC was working great. Shower was good pressure and the toiletries were nice. The hotel is really well located, about a 2 min walk from the main square in Sultanahmet where I was able to get to the Cistern Basilica, Blue Mosque and more with ease. The breakfast in the morning is at the very top of the hotel on the rooftop. Covered but partially open. There was a good selection of hot and cold food and the coffee was great. They also arranged a taxi to the airport for me with very little notice which was a relief as I'd forgotten to sort it.

United StatesNothing to say
The hotel has a great location. Just a few steps away from the main two mosques in Istanbul. The bfast area gives you an amazing view of the Blue Mosque. It was our first trip to Istanbul. When we first arrived, the room we got was ok but not necessarily with a good view. We asked if they could have a better view available, and they did. The room/view was outstanding. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom was very good. But more than the facilities we liked, the people from the hotel were the best highlight. They are so kind, hard workers, and they are always taking care of you as a guest. They give you recommendations and tips so you can have a great time. Definitely, a great customer service.

United KingdomThe lift was a bit slow and the room was a bit smaller than I had anticipated. And be mindful that the rooms do not have much sound insulation so you can hear pretty much everything
The location was the main reason I chose to stay here as it was literally less than 5 mins walk away from Hagia Sophia. Staff were very friendly and the room had working AC which was good!
