How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Absolutely amazing stay, would recommend to anyone who is visiting Istanbul. The manager and the staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. We got family treatment from them, they showed us every places that was worth visiting and many helpful tips where to buy stuff or where dont. Room was cleaned every day, we got fresh towels every day and we got new bottle of water every day. At reception was staff 24/7, so we felt very safe. They also fullfiled every our desire, like extra blanket and pillow. Breakfast was very traditional a great variaty of Turkish flavors. The most populars sightseeing spots are at walking distance, also near to tram station. Overall like first time Istanbul traveler would recommend 10/10.

The breakfast area is a bit small so it may happen to not find a free table at the peak time which seemed to be ~8.30
The hotel is located few hundreds meters from tourist area of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazar, ... The hotel manager and personnel is very kind and ready to help with information and advices. Breakfast was good with enough choices

The hotel is clean, well maintained and the location is perfect to visit the old town being at a 10 minutes walking distance from Sultanahmet square. The room was tiny but very clear and gets tied every morning, tovels are changed every day as well. Breakfast is served in a room downstairs with plenty of sweet and savoury foods both continental and turkish. The personnel was simply amazing helping us out with transport from/to the airport, a briefing about the best places for sightseeing and a lot of helpful tips and suggestions specially for the hammam cause we wanted to avoid places for tourists and have a real hammam experience.

View, quiet, location, clean, extremely helpful staff. Because the hotel is in the middle of the city, our ride had a hard time reaching it during rush hour to pick us up. Thanks to the manager's (Celsuk) guidance, the driver finally found the hotel. Also we got a room on the top floor with a beautiful view of the sea.
