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.).

HungaryThe room and bathroom were generally pretty much up to our expectations for this price range, but there are a few things that need to be fixed. But these were not a problem either, just be aware that you should expect them. Cleanliness, on the other hand, was not a problem at all.
Although the attractions of the Sultanahmet are about a 10-15 minute walk away, the hotel is located in a quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. The park opposite is a distinctly charming place. The staff are extremely nice and helpful, this is a huge thing.

SlovakiaRoom was very small but for the price, it was justified.
The owners of this hotel go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Only rarely do you find such service in a hotel. For the price, it was a great value in a good location! Highly recommend.

United StatesI only got to stay there 1 day. I'll have to come back again.
I had an absolutely amazing experience. I had a very short visit (only one day) and I got stuck in traffic on my way from the airport so I got to the hotel at 7pm. By the time I got to the hotel, I was really questioning my decision to come to Istanbul in the first place. However, my whole day got turned around when I got to the hotel. I ended up having a wonderful time in Istanbul, albeit very short. When I was checking in I mentioned that it was my dream to visit Hagia Sophia but I was afraid I wasn't going to make it because it closes at 7:30pm. Amir who was working on the reception that day literally walked me there. And when we realized it was already closed he talked to the guards and convinced them to let me in. He also gave me great restaurant recommendations and helped me figure out how to get to the airport using public transport, which ended up costing me $10 instead of $50. The room was lovely. It's recently updated, very clean and cozy. The view from my window was amazing. You can't beat the location, it's only 15 min walk from Hagia Sophia. I highly recommend this hotel.

GermanyThe place was cosy and had a warm ambiance that made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help with any queries or requests I had. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like a home away from home. The hotel's location was also a major plus point. It was conveniently situated near important places, making it easy for me to explore the city. Additionally, there were plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, offering a variety of cuisines. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this hotel in Istanbul. From the cosy atmosphere to the helpful staff and convenient location, everything exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

HungaryWe had a great stay at Sareban Hotel Istanbul. Albeit the rooms are small, but they are very cosy and really clean. The beds were comfortable, the owners (Emir and his brother Mehmet) are superb hosts, very kind and friendly, always there to help with suggestions. Coffee and tea is always available. The hotel is in a nice and quiet location, very close (small walking distance) to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Airport transfer is offered at a really good price. Highly recommend this hotel!

RomaniaI think they were renovating and in the bathroom there was no door to cover the valves for the pipes in the shower.
Very friendly and helful staff, the manager was very eager to give advice and any information to make the trip more pleasant and easier. Each morning we were offered coffee/tea on the house. The room was a bit small but clean and cozy. Close to the main attractions in the city, walking distance to the Blue Mosque and tram stations for anything further. Also, lots of markets and places to eat around.
