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.).

Panamaif anything it would be to be more attentive to messages from customers through the Booking app. we were trying to get in touch shut with the front desk to stay one more night but received no answer.
Seraglio is very well located, close to most of the mayor city landmarks. The complimentary breakfast that they offer every morning is really nice, especially the omelette station. Service at the hotel restaurant and front desk is excellent. Since we were checking out at 5am and were going to miss the complimentary breakfast, they prepared some snacks for us to take with us, without us requesting it.

HungaryIt's not the hotels's fault but it is a bit complicated to reach the hotel by public transportation, so book a taxi/shuttle service. The call of the muezzin is very loud (for me it's part of the Istanbul's experience) but have an earplug with you.
Perfect stay for your trip in Istanbul. The hotel is just a couple of minutes of walk from the major attractions in the touristic district. There are only hotels, restaurants and shops nearby. The room was big enough with a large shower. If you can, ask for the room 105 with the terrace. The room is well equipped, cleaned every day. The bed is comfortable but with 1 big blanket. The breakfast is served on the 4th floor with a splendid view to the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus. The food was nice and local, a bit repetitive, but you can ask for fresh cooked omlette prepared by a chef.

The location is very close to the historical sites, with lots of nearby restaurants. Breakfast menu is decent, you get to enjoy the view from the roof terrace which makes it a bit more pleasant.

United KingdomThe staff at this hotel were incredibly nice and professional. The chef prepared Turkish eggs menemen just for me because he knew I liked it, and the food was absolutely delicious. They also offered Turkish Baklava whenever we finished our breakfast. The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean. We could see the Blue Mosque while having breakfast, making it an amazing location for photos. We didn't need to visit other restaurants for breakfast photos, which saved us a lot of money. This will be my hotel of choice every time I visit Istanbul. The rooms were a bit cold even though they open the heater for us, so just put it in mind to bring long sleeves pajamas

View from my balcony was fantastic especially at night with the Blue Mosque lit up. Comfortable beds, quiet location. Only noise was the chairs from breakfast room above in the morning but it served as a morning alarm so no complaints. The breakfast terrace has a great view of sea and mosque. The breakfast selection is fair for a small hotel serving a mixed culture guests There’s a decent restaurant downstairs with great food and can sit with a beer watching people pass by. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and helpful. Rooms cleaned and spotless every day. Meter Taxi to / from airport is about 1200tl.
