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.).

Yusuf at the reception is the best! He helped me tackling with the scammer and I finally got the money back and also arranged a taxi and tour and everything. The owner of the hotel is very lucky to have him! Apart from this, sea view room is nice, bigger than other rooms in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is also good with a a variety of dishes and fresh fruits.

RomaniaI recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable hotel in downtown Istanbul, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The hotel's location in downtown Istanbul is fantastic, providing easy access to key attractions and the vibrant energy of the city. However, what truly sets this establishment apart is the mesmerizing sea view that it offers. Our room, with its large windows, provided a panoramic spectacle of the Marmara Sea that left us in awe. The real gem of our stay was the terrace with a 180-degree view of Istanbul. It was an absolute delight to enjoy breakfast with such a breathtaking backdrop. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. The level of service provided by the hotel staff was beyond exemplary. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. It felt as though we were staying with friends who were genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. It was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining high standards. In conclusion, if you're looking for a hotel that is budget friendly and has breathtaking views and a welcoming atmosphere in downtown Istanbul, look no further.

SwedenThe glass covering the bedside tables posed a safety concern for children, and the nighttime lighting was too bright and disruptive for others when using the bathroom.
The room was not only comfortable but also well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay. Moreover, the hotel's prime location was a significant highlight, as it was incredibly convenient for exploring iconic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia. One of the most memorable experiences was the breakfast served on the terrace, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and the Blue Mosque. It was a true feast for the senses. The chef's culinary skills were truly exceptional, as they crafted a breakfast that felt more like a lavish lunch, impressing me with their creativity and attention to detail. The staff, including the chef, were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home during my stay. Overall, I can confidently say that this hotel provided an outstanding experience that left me with fond memories and a desire to return in the future.

BelgiumThe good thing is it's around the corner from Istanbul's top attractions Sultan Ahmed & Ayasofia mosque. At the same time you're in one of Istanbul's most touristic areas. We travelled in December (low season) and for us it was perfect. I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, the number of days you're staying and what your priorities are.
If I go back to Istanbul, this is the hotel I will most probably go back to. Wel located, behind Sultan Ahmed mosque, about 700m from tram line 1. Small, quiet and pleasant hotel. Clean, Nice staff. Breakfast room on the 6th floor with views on Sultan Ahmed and the sea.

United StatesThe breakfast was phenomenal! There are two wonderful Turkish ladies that make a delicious spread every morning of savory and sweet options. The dining area is located on a quaint rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking views of the Old city. The hotel itself is located in one of the best quiet and peaceful neighborhoods. Both serious tourists and more relaxed adventure seekers can enjoy the 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and the Hagya Sophia.

RomaniaSometimes the breakfast choices were not great. Or everything was already finished Hotel does not have its own parking, only street parking. Reception assured me its fine to park on the street and that it’s free. No signs anywhere saying the parking has to be paid or i would have paid for it When I crossed the border, they told me I had a paeking fine for the street parking in front of the hotel Tried to contact the hotel but they did not alnowledge any resposability Not a big issue, not a big fine, but its frustrating

We tremendously enjoyed this home like boutique hotel. It had all the necessities, clean, courteous staff, great location which is walking distance from THe Blue Mosque , Hagia Sofia and other tourist attractions. The rooms were a good size (not spacious yet enough). We stayed at the sea view twin beds rooms. Breakfast was average. Not extravagant yet sufficient. Mehmet was super helpful and gave us a lot of advice on where to go in Istanbul. and Nilufer (breakfast staff) was extremely welcoming with a big smile on her face all the time. I would not only recommend them. I will come back to them.next time I visit beautiful Istanbul. Aren Suites , keep up the good work 👏
