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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

AustriaThe main door lock needs a repair. The TV control needs a change! It don't works at all although we do not have time to watch TV. In general the whole suite (we were at ground floor) needs renovation.
The value for the price was good. It fullfill the minimum for a comfy stay. Also I'am very thankful from the host for his kind hospitality.

GermanyThe apparent is extremely dirty. This is a good variant if you want to save money for visiting Istanbul, but come on guys clean the apartment. The kitchen is completely in fat, the shower cabin is so dirty that it is totally unpleasant to step inside. Brocken toilet lid. I was not waiting for a modern repair for such a price, but cleanliness must be!
The location is very good and the host is very friendly and helpful. Cheap as for Istanbul.

United KingdomLack of everyday use items such as: cups, plates, toilet paper, etc. TV wasn't working or we didn't know how to turn it on, but we didn't have time to watch it anyway (whole days sightseeing). It needs basic cleaning between visitors. Phone number from booking.com doesn't match the owner actual tel number. Needed to send an email but received call back within minutes (+)
Localisation was excellent (10 minutes to hagia Sophia), and rooms were big compared to other places in the area. It looked as if it had been refurbished lately. There are plenty of restaurants around that serve traditional food until the very late hours.

OmanNurudin is all time available for you for any help. It is better to arrange hotel drop through hotel itself. Blue mosque is 600 meter away, but it is very steep and we have to walk uphill. There are restaurants and shops nearby. This is best suited for those who want to cook themselves. The inflation in Turkey is very high and it is better to cook at least breakfast. Hotel has kept enough set of cooking utensils.

CanadaAlthough, the property is well maintained, but the owners really needs to upgrade washroom fixtures, toilet fittings, light fixtures, washroom ventilation, TV connection etc. The top floor is a wooden floor apartment, the floor makes loud thumping sound while walking on it.
Property location is really good for the people who likes to explore around on foot. Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Arasta Bazar, Grand Bazar are 10-20 minutes away from the property. There’s couple of parks very close by, which I believe are really good for those families who have small kids.

RussiaInteriors and furniture are somewhat shabby and worn-out, otherwise like on photos. Still comfortable, no troubles with towels, bedsheets or duvet,. The room is on the ground floor, few steps up from the street, so you don't have much privacy in the kitchen unless you pull down blinds. There are only two small tables: one small in the room (see photos) and one small in the kitchen (for two persons' food). There is plently of space otherwise. Microwave is weirdly located under the sink. There were very little utensils in the kitchen, but the manager was ready to provide us more. We just stayed for a single night and did not need that.
Big room: you get a combined living room/kitchen (full-size fridge with a freezer, microwave, electric kettle, huge dishwasher, full gas stove - superior for cooking, combi heater/water heater, big sofa, small table for two), huge hallway (you can store some luggage here) leading to the bedroom (air conditioning which works for heating as well, big bed, closet, nightstands) and the bathroom. I probably forgot something. Aesthetically beautiful furniture. Quiet! Especially in the bedroom, as its windows go to the backyard. No traffic, no activities, you barely hear adhan even with windows open. You do hear air conditioning, though. Kitchen's windows head to the street, but it has almost no traffic, so it's quiet there as well. Great location. This is south Fatih, so in order to reach major attractions you have to walk uphill for some time. Still, the hotel is right next to two parks, and you can easily reach lots of restaurants and shops without any hills, that's great. We had no troubles checking-in or checking-out. No troubles with electricity, water or heating either, Wi-Fi is good.

United KingdomThe only thing which was not infact bad but it is their rule that you have to call the owner to take the keys.
The owner Onur was really a great guy, respectful, courteous and friendly. He can also easily communicate in English. The value for money was really good. They gave us the basement apartment with all the facilities like hot water, wifi, kitchen etc. If I would travel again I will definitely go here again.

AustraliaThe phone number in the information on this site is not correct - however the correct phone numbers to contact the hosts when you arrive are on the door so it wasn't much of an inconvenience. Also I couldn't get the TV to turn on which the host said was because other guests change settings etc. This also wasn't that big of a deal as I really only wanted to watch it when I'm ready to settle down for the evening before going to bed.
The host, Onur, was super friendly and helpful. He organised a private transfer to the airport at a very reasonable rate which was reassuring given that my flight was very early. I also liked the size of the suite and wished that I'd had more time to spend in Istanbul so that I could have taken full advantage of it being a self-contained unit. I also liked the location, close enough for me to walk to the Blue Mosque area (about 15-20 minutes up the hill) but far enough away that it wasn't crowded with lots of tourists. There were also some nice places to eat within five minutes walk of Blue Eye Suites.

BangladeshHad to wait for more than half an hour after midnight to get in the apartment. The basement apartment smelled like paint and mold, it's quite suffocating. I messaged the owner to request for a change of room but didn't get any response! No one bothered to check or ask if everything is ok, looks like the owner doesn't care at all.
Walktable distance from touristy area. There is a park in-front and the road doesn't feel as naerow as some other area here.
