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.).

BulgariaThe parking near the hotel costs €10 per day. Also I didn’t like that the host was texting me all the time. When I will check in, when I will check out. I prefer privacy.
I was clean and the location is great. The beds were very comfortable.

NetherlandsThe owner cannot influence it but due to the good acoustics of a small street in an old city the noises (other residents talking or moving in an out) can be pretty annoying
Excellent service. Very polite and hospitable. The owner organized us a transfer to and back. The worker met us as soon as we arrived, showed the most important parts of the city on the map and explained all of the necessary things right away. The supermarket and several local shops and restaurants are within five minutes reach. Would definitely stop there once again when I am in Istanbul.

IrelandNo mirror in the second bedroom. The air-conditioned was in the living room - so if the bedroom doors closed at night, it can get uncomfortably warm.
Self-catering apartment. We arrived late; welcomed by the house-keeper. He let us in and gave us a basic instruction to ease our stay. Location is very close to the centre of attraction ie Sultanahmet ~15mins walk.

United StatesThis is a minor point, but the spaces around the beds are very narrow, and it requires a little coordination if both people are in the room at the same time.
It’s conveniently located and good for two people.

United KingdomOnly 1 downside: i was in the basement apartment and within the room that has the double bed, the wifi just would not work. But worked great in the other room. I even had a Turkcell sim and it wouldnt work in the double room. That really is the only negative i can think of.
If you are looking for luxury, go elsewhere. This place is not luxurious and is dated. Which is exactly what i expected anyway based on the pictures. If you are looking for exceptional hosts that go the extra mile, a very clean and perfectly located apartment this is an excellent choice. The apartment was immaculate, could not find any dust. Hosts that speak great english and are very willing to help. Rooms were a decent/good size and toilet was perfectly adequate. Again, the value for money here is great. Stone throw away from tourist hotspots yet not in amongst it. If like me, you want somewhere to crash ready for the next day, this is your spot.

RomaniaThe price was a bit high for what it offers, and the apartment is smaller in reality. The apartment doesn't come with a parking and you need to park your car at a provate parkingwhich is owned by a family. There you need to hand the key of your car to the employee of the parking in case he will need to move the car to make space for other (the parking is very crowded), and at the end of the trip we've found deep scratches on the rear bumper of our car without any announcement to us.
Very friendly staff, and good location

South AfricaThe AC is situated in the kitchen so doesn`t work as effectively throughout the apartment.
The Host is very helpful and provides lots of information about the area. They allowed an early check in for our bags as we arrived on a very early morning flight. Apartment is comfortable and well located in the Hagia Sophia area. The terrace is an added bonus for evening sundowners or just to relax.
