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.).

CanadaWe had a room that we could hear restaurant noise and music till sometimes midnight. We were on a wing with no elevator so if you have mobility issues request an area that has a lift. There was not a large sampling of shampoos or conditioner or lotion. Just body wash.
Super location. Morning breakfast was great. An expresso would have added value. Staff was very helpful and pleasant.

RussiaIt has been long since it was last refurbished. Some appliances and furniture are not of prime condition. The conditioner was loud. I did not care but some might find it problematic.
I dreamt of coming to this hotel since I first saw it in 2006. It is very well located, but the best is its terrace with a view of the sea and the blue mosque.

United StatesHotel Sari Konak is in a great location, reasonable prices, comfortable beds and a very clean hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel. Our room was large, with a large closet, big spacious bathroom with dual sinks and the AC worked great. Our room was one level above the street level with restaurants all around the hotel and across the street, however with windows closed it was quiet. The rooftop terrace was excellent and we enjoyed our daily breakfast up there each morning. The staff were excellent, incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel location is ideal as it is only a quick 5-minute walk to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Couple more minutes of walk to the tram and most of the must-see sights of Sultanahmet. No need to rent a car, we just used the tram to get to all our locations, including, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian/Spice Market, Galata bridge, Istiklal, Galata tower area and also Dolmabahçe Palace. Just down the street there is a Cheap Market 24/7 convenience store that was extremely helpful when you need to get bottled water, snacks, and other last-minute items for your room.

The hotel is in a very central location a few minutes walk from the two big Mosques. The rooms were extremely comfortable with big wide beds and well a very well appointed. The air conditioning was excellent and quiet. There is a lift to the third floor and easy stairs up to the roof terrace. Breakfast is served on this very pretty roof terrace and it’s also a great place to go too to watch the sunsetting behind the blue mosque and the boats out at Sea. The Terrace has very comfortable seating on it and is a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.. the staff of extremely helpful and accommodating and will easily order taxis etc. There is also a lovely basement room looking onto a small enclosed terrace. There are plenty of good places to eat within a very short distance from the hotel, including some lovely rooftop terrace Restaurants.

We loved everything about this charming family-run hotel. It was ideally located for access to great restaurants, site seeing and shopping. The free morning breakfast was amazing with a wide assortments of foods and beverages, that varied daily. The front desk staff was very helpful and made arrangements for us including airport transfers and a visit to a Turkish bath. Our room was charmingly decorated and spacious, with a very comfortable bed, large bath and cold AC.

United StatesBathroom was a bit tired and need some updating. The furnishings - other than the beds - met our needs but were a bit dated and probably due for a refresh. But not much to dislike at Sari Konak.
Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff from helping with bags, recommending sites and restaurants and arranging car services etc. Breakfast was very expansive and tasty. Was bit to cool during our visit to use the patio or roof terrace but they looked wonderful for warmer weather. Nice linen and towels and daily room service. The family suite worked very well for our family of 4 (2 parents and 2 college age ladies). A very nice bargain.

The guy at reception was delightful and helped with everything. The accommodation was in easy walking distance of many of the main attractions. We adored the basilica cisterna! The breakfast was excellent, with a range of delicious traditional foods. The room was quiet and comfortable although the shower head was a bit wonky. Lots of dining options around- the restaurant spruikers are everywhere and a bit overwhelming but good natured.
