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.).

SerbiaThe location of the hotel is perfect, just 2 min walk to a popular restaurant area and 5 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. The tram 1 also passes very close to the hotel, so it is very well connected to the rest of the city. The room was very big and it was exceptionally clean, just like the rest of the hotel! The breakfast was also very good. The staff working in the hotel made us feel like at home, they are so kind and helpful and really made our stay comfortable, especially Ismail who I can't thank enough for his hospitality and kindness! I would recommend this hotel to everyone, and I am sure that I will come back here the next time I'm in Istanbul.

GreeceWe stayed to the hotel 29/3-1/4. The location is great. 5 minutes to the nearest tram station, wich is next to Kapali carsi, 15minutes on foot to Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. The staff was very nice and kind - and of course the owner, Ismail is very good person. The room was big and clean. The breakfast was nice. When we come back to Istanbul we are going to stay to the same hotel.

SerbiaThe staff at the hotel was extremely friendly and available at any time for any questions or needs. The room was spacious (which is not so typical for these kinds of hotels in Istanbul). Very close to the metro lines and other attractions. A nice breakfast as well, very tasty, could use a bigger offer for people staying at the hotel for more than a few days.

United KingdomNothing at all it was all very good😃perhaps the only downside is the hotel is on a steep street but lots of restaurants near the hotel and attractions nearby, to get to the restaurants just turn right out of the hotel and walk down the street for about ten minutes and take your pick they all basically serve the same dishes one of my favourite was Sezgin restaurant opposite the Ahmet Efendi Konagi hotel which was nice and quiet if you want a quieter dinner and drinks and the Mira restaurant which is basic but nice also near to the restaurant is a cash machine if you need any Turkish Lira.
Checkin was straight forward and easy and the staff were all very friendly and helpful,was my Second stay at the hotel and I think it's great value for money and room was very clean and tidy they can also arrange for a taxi to collect you and take you back to the airport all in all a very nice hotel to stay in from another satisfied customer!😃
