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.).

United KingdomThe rooms are a little aged and therefore hard to tell if it's clean or dirty or just old. Not to my personal taste and the bathroom was very tiny.
Absolutely amazing location right behind all the main tourists areas, perfect for a flying visit if you want to take in the main sights. Nice breakfast laid out in the morning and nice staff with easy check in process.

TaiwanAll the character from the hotel's outside and entrance space was great, but I wish there was more personality to the rooms themselves.
Location was great. It was quite even with all the cats resting along the street. Staff was our favorite. They were so friendly, and well traveled. We really got along. Loved the breakfast and the look/feel of both the exterior of the hotel and room. Room was a bit small, but the price for a major city like Istanbul seems reasonable. We were also so close to the great dinner restaurants, so being able to walk home after a great night out was a huge plus.

PakistanExcellent location and service. The rooms are very clean and nice, with an interesting vintage vibe that complements the Sultanahmet area. It is a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the main attractions of Sultanahmet. The staff is very helpful, and overall, it was great value for the money.

GermanyOur room was on the first floor and we were afraid of the cats coming inside the room from the window. The fan inside the bathroom stopped working and was not repaired until last day.
The hotel was so close to the main attractions and we were surprised to find them accidentally in the first day. The terrace and kitchen were renovated and very clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

ItalyTo pull the omelette off the buffet breakfast (included into the stay) and into the menu (paid-for selection) was a strange idea. (the change happened right during our stay). The hotel is a bit aged, as is furniture and tolets/showers. Toilets/showers can be cleaned a bit more thoroughly between guests' stays.
Location is excellent, just below the Blue Mosque but away from the tourist crowd, towards the Little Aya Sofia. The staff is very friendly and helpful, fluent in English and Russian and knowing some French. The terrace on top offers a great view of the Bosphorus, and the hotel is putting up a bar there now.

Ukrainethere were a couple of shortcomings, but thanks to the comfort and polite staff who are always ready to help, the shortcomings are forgotten)
the staff is very polite and friendly. They make sure that the vacationer is comfortable. breakfast is included in the room price. the food is very tasty, all products are fresh. and very satisfying. for those who want not to spend money on breakfast in a restaurant, this is an ideal option, the balance between quality, comfort, cleanliness, kindness of staff, food and price. The room had to be checked in before lunch, but we had a trip to Dolmbahce planned and we didn’t want to drag ourselves around with backpacks, so when asked “could we leave the backpacks with you and come back to pick them up after lunch?” the staff agreed without any problems, and what is also important, after we returned, he himself suggested that if we wanted to go wash, freshen up, so to speak, after the trip. and also gave me a business card in order to get a discount on my next booking. I recommend this hotel

Good location. Less than 10 minutes walk from the historical center. But it is in a small alleyway, so took a little time to find it. Otherwise ok. Staff were nice and breakfast was decent.
