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.).

United KingdomWell, there are few things they can improve. I am not the one to complain but the thing most annoyed me was I requested double bed, so instead of giving us double bed they pushed 2 beds together. And instead of single large duet they put 2 on. Which was very annoying specially when you are visiting with your mrs. The single electric outlet was hidden behind the beds which was hard to access.
Location location location…… And staff is very friendly and always smiling. And some time thats all you need to make your day, A Smiling Face. Right in middle of all the hustle bustle and every single historic location is less the 10 minutes walk. Staff even went out of the way to arrange sims, airport transfers, istanbul card and much more. A Special thanks to Mohammed Ali to help me un-pin the frame in middle of night. They provided perfect customer service even in middle of night we requested any assistance and they were happy to oblige.

United StatesNot fair to ask for this, but the family did remark how small the room was compared to the previous spots. Not enough light for me to shave. The toilet was finicky. But having said that, I’d still stay here.
First time in Istanbul, appreciated how central we were. Lots to do, just steps away from the hotel. A lot of services just outside the front door. Breakfast was perfect. Loved ordering coffees. The front desk was always helpful.

United KingdomWould have liked to have more plug sockets in the room and USB points would have been good.
Location fantastic, very close to Sultanamet with the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and eight or so minutes walk to Grand Bazaar and Theodosius Cistern Very helpful staff, very pleasant check-in experience with Jacob who explained the area and places we may like to visit, with Mustafa at breakfast who quickly realised just the amount of tea we liked, and all others who helped us. They even noticed that it was my birthday and brought a cake with candle out to me! Fantastic buffet breakfast, good range and plenty of it. Our balcony room on the fourth floor gave us a pleasant place to sit out.

United StatesRoom was a bit rundown, like they redid the bathroom but the door frame was in bad shape. The floors throughout the room were very messy and unattractive.
My son and I stayed for 4 nights. The staff was great, very nice and attentive. The hotel didn't quite match the photos on line, a little shabby around the edges. Breakfast was very nice and the location cannot be beat. I would give it an overall 9 out of 10.

The highlight is the location and the incredibly helpful, attentive and friendly staff at Faros - my friend and I both agreed that the front desk staff were one of the best we have had in Turkey! Rooms are small but didnt bother us as we spent the day exploring and were out most of the time!

United KingdomNo problems at all with the hotel. (Although if you're claustrophobic, you won't like the lift!) Location-wise, this is very much tourist central, and prices for food are 3-4 times higher than in some other parts of the city and there's a tendency to rip you off. But the hotel is fantastic.
The friendliest and most helpful staff we've ever met in any hotel. A good location for exploring the sights. Good for transport too. Nice room with a good bathroom, and a little balcony. Comfortable beds.
