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 regions, 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.).

I booked a room with seaview. The view of the golden horn, the boats coming in and out 24/7 , the people in the parks and Constantinople on the other side of the water was amazing 😍 The hotel staff are very helpful especially the lady and Ilker from the reception. Breakfast was super.. Will book this hotel again.

The Golden City Hotel is a solid 3-4 star hotel. Everything worked perfectly. Room service came every day and always did an impeccable job. The reception was very professional and friendly. I was particularly impressed by the breakfast and its staff. With a wonderful view over the Bosphorus. Even a large wedding with loud music and celebrations ended shortly after midnight, so we could sleep well. I will gladly come again! Thank you, Golden City!

Serbiaroom hygiene is very good, everything is really cleaned regularly with no dirt when you look a bit better. location is very good as expected. view is amazing if you are lucky (as we were) to have a nice room and floor. wi-fi excellent. this rarely happens in hotels, usually you can connect and not do much with it. here the wi-fi has a strong signal and works well. restaurant on top floor has an amazing view and very good breakfast. all staff professional and helpful.

The hotel location is really good, it's got a nice view to the Bosphorus where you can see both Sultan Ahmet and Taksim side of Istanbul. In addition to that, it's just 100 meters from Halig metro station in M1 line where it's just one stop to Taksim metro station where the Taksim square and Istikhlal road are and it's just 4 stop to Aksaray metro station that take you to Sultan Ahmet side to see Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque.

FinlandThe lighting in the room was not optimum. The mirror and entrance lights were out of order.
The room with the bosphoras view was great. However, you may hear the music from the passing by party boats and cruises on the bosphoras until midnight or 1 am. For light sleepers, this could be a challenge. The views are amazing if some noise doesn't bother you.

United KingdomThe air conditioner was noisy, maybe it's too old. And windows are not sound proof, noise from surroundings is a bit annoying if you are sensitive to sound at night.
The location was good where it's easy to walk or take the tram to places of interest. And the view from the top floor is nice when having breakfast.
