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.).

ItalyThe building is pretty old and it would need some manteinance. The bathroom is very small and the shower isn't closed in a cabin.
The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Unbelievable view on the sea from the window! It's the perfect choice if you travel alone or with your friend(s) and you're staying just a couple-three days. The hotel is in a very nice street in Sultanahmet, one of the most beating hearts of the city. Special mention for the guys at Happy Suite, from the reception desk to the upper floors. They're such kind and thoughtful people, they deserve the trip theirselves.

MalaysiaMr Ahmet, just like the other reviews said about him, is very gentle and hospitable. He always offer his special turkish tea and shisaa at the terrace. But the very special moment with Mr Ahmet is, he protected me and my wife from getting scam by a group of Iranian peoples that pretends to be tourist trying to look for Chinese restaurant.

South AfricaThe fact that we had to leave Istanbul after such a wonderful holiday.
Ahmet is the perfect host. Knowledgeable, caring and always ready to help. From organizing transport and activities to making a great breakfast and numerous cups of tea or coffee... With Ahmet you get accommodation close to the Hagia Sofia and you own personal tour guide. Thank you so much for a memorable first trip to Istanbul.

ThailandThe renovation was too old
It was the best owner that we seen. I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel in Istanbul, and I only have positive impressions. The owner of the hotel is a true treasure of kindness and care. His attention to guests really overshadows any shortcomings, and we felt right at home. Every morning, he brought us breakfast at a convenient time, which was very nice. Cleaning was done daily, and towels were changed without reminders.. The location of the hotel is simply amazing — right in the heart of the old city, making it easy to explore all the attractions. I sincerely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy warm hospitality and a convenient location. Thank you to the owner for unforgettable moments!

SingaporeToilet layout could be better, but other than that ahmet is the best host i've ever met.
Ahmet is a super lovely, kind and friendly host, exactly just like what the other reviews here say. He is very accommodating to my requests and extremely hospitable. I've never had a host look out for me this much, I really appreciate it. The breakfast is also very nice, and ahmet greets you with a warm smile every morning :) The restaurant that he recommended nearby was also very affordable and delicious. Thank you ahmet for making my stay here so pleasant and enjoyable! Truly recommend this hotel.

Everything was great! Ahmet is a very kind man who took care of everything I asked for and more. He gave me tips about taxis, where to shop, which areas are good to visit out of the usual touristy zones. He was fantastic. The room was clean and spacious for the location and price. It was cleaned and serviced every day while I was out all day. Great stay overall!

South KoreaSince the hotel is located in the old town, it is an old building so it is a bit... It was old and narrow, but it was good as is.
We don't usually eat breakfast, but the fruit, cheese, omelet, bread, coffee, and chai served for breakfast here were very delicious. We also provided unlimited shisha, chai, and coffee if you wanted. :) And small talk with guests on the rooftop is also fun.

United StatesThe room's bathroom is pretty much also the shower.
The hotel's facilities are not what you would find at a 5-star hotel; however, it is very easy to overlook its minor shortcomings once you see the wonderful view you have from your room's bed, or once you realize the fantastic location it has, or once you meet Ahmet, who truly is as wonderful a person as everybody describes him in the reviews.

CanadaOur room was a bit congested and was on the 3rd floor, which was not difficult for us though.
Excellent customer service. Nice location, very close to all the tourist attractions that we were looking for. Ahmed, the owner of the property, was exceptionally good. We found him very helpful, polite, and keen to satisfy our needs. One example; our breakfast was not included, even though he provided with breakfast all 3 days for free. Another example; he guided us to the Marmara Bosphorus tour and he himself joined the tour just to accompany us. We were more than satisfied with his customer service.

Mr Ahmet is a great host. My flight was delayed but he waited for me outside of the hotel till 3a.m to personally greet me and to help me with my suitcase. He made sure all our needs are met. The location was great to explore the city. The hotel is obviously not a 5star hotel but if you are on a low budget it’s a great choice. For the price you pay you get a very fair deal. I would definitely come back and stay there again😊
