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.).

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Ankara! The location is very convenient, not far from the airport, which made my trip so much easier. The hotel is clean, modern, and beautifully maintained. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional — they made me feel very welcome from the very first moment. My room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of fresh food. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel — it was the perfect place to rest after a long day. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ankara, whether for business or leisure. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!

No issues. I don't think there is an airport shuttle as suggested in this app.
Short taxi ride from airport (180tl). Good bed and shower. Good breakfast. Reception staff happy to order a taxi to town or airport, a metered taxi so not paying over the odds. Whole place very clean and professional.

Amazing stay! We came to Hotel at around 4am in the morning after our long flight and Emre was the kindest and most welcoming employee, making us feel truly hospitable. He went above and beyond to ensure our well-being and a pleasant first experience in Ankara. They also provided Sehur for my husband. The room was beautiful, well-maintained, and clean. Breakfast was very good. This hotel offers the best value for the price and has a good location.

Location was perfect, just 5-6 km away from the airport and easy to reach. Hotel offers airport shuttle for free. The staff is kind and very helpful. They offer free room upgrade and I stayed in a suite type of room, fully equipped. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom and towels were clean too. Fast check-in/check-out. The breakfast was excellent. That was beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend it.

The walls are incredibly thin- I could hear someone snoring in the next room. Maybe it was really loud snoring and it would be ok otherwise, but still - I would have expected more soundproofing in the rooms. Also note that there is no room service- only the bar/restaurant downstairs, which was not ideal after a long-haul flight.
Newly built hotel close to the Esenboga airport - perfect for a layover or a long connection. The room was clean and had everything I needed. Additional points for an iron and ironing board!

The description says that there is free shuttle to airport. However, you only find out after booking that it only runs on weekdays, hence if you are travelling ona weekend, you have to book your own taxi to and from airport/ hotel. At least it is not expensive, it costs about 5/6 gbp as the hotel is quite close to the airport
On a long transit, returning from Umrah and needed to put up somewhere for the night. Booked Holiday Inn Express for the close proximity to the airport. Staff were very welcoming and all facilities were great. Had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel as we were too tired to go out, and it was very nice. Breakfast was amazing, too.

The location was appropriate and easy to reach, the room included everything one would need before catching the next flight. Breakfast was so good and there were travel cups for coffee in case you have to go directly to the airport after breakfast. The shuttle bus to the airport made my transit trip even more enjoyable.
