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 reviewMy stay at Linfer Hotel in Istanbul was nothing short of amazing. Located just steps away from the vibrant Taksim Square, this hotel is a perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the heart of the city. The atmosphere around the hotel is lively yet the rooms are peaceful — the perfect balance for both relaxation and adventure. What made my experience even more special was the stunning view of a nearby mosque from my room. Waking up to that breathtaking sight each morning felt truly magical. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. A special mention goes to the lovely lady at the reception — she was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. From giving local tips to arranging transport, she made everything seamless and welcoming. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality! I highly recommend Linfer Hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul. Great location, beautiful views, and service that truly cares — I’ll definitely be returning!
If I had to mention one small thing, it would be that the room size was a bit compact — but considering the location, it didn’t really bother me. Everything else made up for it, especially the service and cleanliness.
Thank You Dear Shizza...We hope to see you again.. With All Our Love from Istanbul

Verified reviewThe staff were very helpful, they stayed in touch and guided my taxi when I couldn’t reach the hotel by public transport due to the 1 May lockdown. The location is excellent, just 5 minutes from Taksim Metro and Square, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was spacious too.
My room faced the street, which offered a great view but was quite noisy at night with traffic and people outside. Light sleepers should request a quieter room. Also, the bathroom is quite compact, it might feel tight for bigger guests.
Dear Muhamad Thank You for your nice review .Best Regards

Verified reviewThe location
The room. We were promised De Lux room, and we got a small room with a window looking at the WALL of the adjacent building, and only 20cm away from that wall !!! Too much noise, the walls are thinner than paper and you can hear people whispering in the other rooms, let alone talking.
