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 StatesThere was nothing to not like. Everything was wonderful.
Great location next to Istiklal Street, three-minute walk to Sishane Metro and Funicular. You have the best cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The room was spacious and super clean. The Staff went above and beyond to help us in every way possible. We arrived at 1:00 am and they organized the transfer from Istanbul Airport to hotel. You can contact them via Whatsapp anytime and they answer all your questions. We had breakfast at places the staff recommended which were very good like Varuna Gezgin, located just in front of hotel. Food was very good. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

UzbekistanEverything was good except breakfast. They don't have breakfast. There are many cafes and restaurants around, but I would still prefer breakfast at the hotel, so you’ll have less to think about where to go to eat in the morning.
The location was excellent. The staff was amazing. initially I was planning to stay there for a day, but at the end I stayed for 5 days. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I should thank Mr. Mustafa who was very helpful. Definitely will be back.

Im a repeat customer in this beautiful quaint hotel. All I could vouch for is the hotel location is very strategic in its location, close to Istiklal Street. Rooms are well maintained and all the amenities at par with 4 star hotels. Additionally I would like to highlight that beyond the excellent facilities are the brilliant staff and crew of The Hotel Story Pera. I want to thank Ufuk, Furkan, Mustafa, and Ihsan for taking care of us over and above our needs. They helped us settle down, we were able to check in earlier, they took care of our luggage and gave us golden tips on where to go within the area. Keep up the good work!

United StatesThe 10 meters between the hotel and Istiklal Caddesi is quite steep. Be careful if you have heavy suitcases or if the road is wet. There are also vehicles to watch out for.
The welcome upon arrival was great and we were provided with a map and recommendations without asking. Reception is available 24 hours a day. The room was spacious, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Location couldn't be better, just 10 meters from the lower end of Istiklal Caddesi and a minute's walk from the entrance to the metro. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

GermanyNo complaints!
Beautifully designed rooms - felt like real luxury for a very reasonable price. Great location and quiet in spite of proximity to the main street where it is really buzzing. Special praise goes to the fabulous team of guys (all men) working at the reception desk. They were all so courteous, helpful with information and made such an attractive and well-educated impression. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

AustraliaNothing really - perhaps a better reading light in the sitting area of the room.
This is a charming and very pleasant hotel. Although just around the corner from Istanbul's busiest shopping street, it is quiet, and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. It is close to transport, museums and many restaurants (including an excellent place for breakfast just across the street)! The room was large, very clean and comfortable. The hotel arranged airport transfers and provided good information. The price is reasonable. I would happily stay there again.

GermanyThe only downside is that our room didn’t have a view (window looked out against a wall) but this was only minor as it didn’t really bother us. There are no on-site facilities but plenty of restaurants nearby.
Fantastic location, lovely decor, spacious and comfortable rooms and the absolute friendliest staff who are super eager to help and have lots of great recommendations.

AustraliaMinor issue - my curtains didn't quite cover the window so I couldn't block the light
Loved my stay here. My room was lovely, the staff were great, and the location was ideal for me. There was so much within walking distance, including multiple public transport options for when you do need to go to another part of town. The hotel is on a relatively quiet street but near a busy street, which made it feel safe coming and going at any time (which is important to me as a solo traveller). Will definitely stay here again next time.

AustraliaWhilst we didn’t hear the main Istiklal St noise, there was some noise from the small street below, however it’s probably impossible to get a totally quiet room in that area.
Very friendly and helpful staff. We were lucky to get a great room and early check in which was really appreciated after our long flight from Australia. It is location very close to Istiklal St and only a few minutes walk from the M2 metro entrance and the funicular railway. They provided complementary coffee and biscuits in the morning.

They shared a printed guideline for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with places of interest to visit. Our room was large, clean, modern and well lit. It has air-conditioning and is comfortable. The background of this restored 200 year-old building is shared with you in a brochure. “The Story Pera Hotel” Lovely!
