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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewAir bnb type independent accommodation. Great position, excellent hosts, charming room, communal kitchen and washing machine. We were kindly given late checkout at no charge. Room at the top is recommended for its spaciousness.
No lift but not really a problem.

Verified reviewThe hotel was so beautiful and had everything we needed. We stayed in the Olive Room which was more of a suite and felt very luxurious, especially considering how reasonably priced it was! The hotel is in a fantastic location, Kadiköy is a very cool area with so many cafes/shops/restaurants/bars. Emre was so kind and messaged us every morning in case we needed anything. A perfect stay ⭐️

Verified reviewThe host (Emre) is amazing. He communicated with me since my booking, and during my stay messaged me everyday offering help. The place is very clean and cozy, and well located in Kadıköy (some meters from the ferry to other main spots of the city). Moreover, it adopts a series of sustainable measures.
It can be a bit noisy as the house is 150 years old, but this didn't bother me.

Verified reviewThe building and the room were very beautiful, there is a small shared kitchen with all utilities. The room feels modern, there is AC. Best part is the host, he was very nice, gave us nice recommendations and was very happy to help us with any issues. He was very easy to contact.
The room is small so there is not much space to store things or to move around. It wasn’t a big problem for us because we only slept in the room but it was inconvenient.

Verified reviewI'll start by saying that I've had this hotel in my favorites for a long time and I was waiting for a trip to Istanbul to stay there!) The hotel completely met all my expectations! And I'll definitely come back! The room is wonderful, very beautiful, clean, comfortable. It's hard to stop and take photos in it. The owner Erme is infinitely friendly! She recommended us a great place for breakfast near the hotel - Mijgan. I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants something special and a positive experience!

Verified reviewThe hotel had lots of character, check-in was simple, and our room was very cute. Our host Emre could not do enough to help, and the common area had lots of handy supplies if you'd forgotten to bring anything. The neighbourhood was full of nice cafes and restaurants and felt much more relaxed than where we'd previously stayed on the European side of Istanbul. It was also close to the ferry port and the metro station, which made getting to the airport and attractions really straightforward. We couldn't fault it.
Nothing.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful 10-day stay at Tina’s No. 8 in Istanbul. The accommodation was excellent — clean, beautifully designed, and well-equipped. The surrounding area felt very safe and offered plenty of great and affordable restaurants. The owners were exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to support their guests. I especially appreciated the access to free filtered water, laundry facilities, cooking options, and useful supplies. Everything was just perfect – I would definitely stay here again!
Honestly, there was nothing negative about my stay. Everything exceeded my expectations – from the warm hospitality to the thoughtful amenities. I truly felt at home and wouldn’t change a thing.
