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 reviewIt was really close to Haga Sophia and had a sea view. It was relatively clean. The room was big enough for me. Breakfast was not bad but small, so if you’re a man or like to eat a lot for breakfast it will be not enough. Wifi was okay.
I don’t know, why this hotel has such a high rating. In my opinion not worth the money. The AC in my room was just above my head when going to sleep, so it was blowing straight to my face. The room was on third floor and the stairs are very narrow so it is hard to walk up and down (there is no elevator). Staff doesn’t know English and was not very helpfull, when I had problem with my bank card(hoping for help from front desk) and was trying to explain to the reception guy, he understood only the word “ATM” and started to tell me where is nearest one. When I asked (through translator) if he can let me call the bank from the hotel he didn’t agree. There was also problem after I checked out and wanted to leave the luggage for some time, at first the guy agreed but later he started messaging me to come back and take the bags “because it is not allowed to leave bags at the hotel”. First day I came very late for breakfast but still before it finished and I could see there was a problem because I came late, it didn’t feel very nice. The hotel is located on very “busy” street, it is loud in the room even at night. There are lots of restaurants and shops on the street and every time I was going out they were bothering me to come and eat at their place - simple “no” is not answer for them, so if you don’t want to be bothered every rime you entering or exiting your hotel this one is not for you. And finally, something was biting me in the room - I am still hoping these were not bedbugs. Oh, and the curtains were white and thin, so the sun was coming through easily, not making the room darker.
Our dear customer, Mr. Emilia, our hotel has a very good position and offers free breakfast service in the Bosphorus view. We also stated that there is no elevator in our hotel on our website. .When you have some personal problems, we cannot deal with some of the hotel rules. You talked about some insects that bite your feet for the first time we got this complaint from you and why did you not say why during the accommodation. .You have received all the services that are in our hotel without any problems. Still, we are sorry that we cannot please you. Güleç Konak Hotel .

Verified reviewAs a female solo traveller in Istanbul I enjoyed my stay. I felt absolutely safe! The owner arranged luxury transfer to and from the airport for me. The single room was clean and I found the bed and pillows comfortable. There is a supermarket downstairs with all the little things you may need at reasonable prices. Breakfast was also good for me as it is the things I would usually eat for breakfast. The location of the hotel is great it is walking distance to main attractions and many restaurants on the street of the hotel. Istanbul is one of the best cities I have been to thus far and I loved the attractions, the food and history behind everything. Will be back! Thank you Serif and thank you to your team.
Just the room space was a bit small and no lifts but as a single person I did not mind this. The bathroom sink cupboard was broken but still functional and they did point this out to me on arrival. It worked fine throughout my stay.
