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):
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.
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.).

RussiaSome of previous tourists definetely smoked right into the room, not only at the balcony, so you can smell cigarettes, but you always can keep the balcony door opened for some fresh air
Amazing place at a very quiet streets, but very close to the main road. Also there are a lot of groceries and cafes just at your street. Wonderful green terrace with grapes and furniture

NetherlandsActually nothing disappointed because it was exactly as described and the photos
I really enjoyed my stay. Everything was exactly as shown in the photos. It was clean, and the owner was very kind. The air conditioning and refrigerator worked well. The balcony was amazing and better than expected, which is quite unique for the area. It was a 4-minute walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. I experienced a lot of privacy, but the staff was available 24/7 at the hotel across from the apartment. The owner was also quick and easy to reach via text. I really enjoyed my stay in Istanbul, so I'll happily book this place again next time.

SwitzerlandThere‘s not much I can, say only that maybe the bathroom is a bit small and the water in the shower didn‘t drain well. Internet could be better as well but honestly for the price it‘s amazing.
It has everything you need and a nice balcony to chill. Bed is super comfortable and locations is great only 3-5 minutes walking to Taxim Sqaure! At night it‘s quite even being close to the main street.

RomaniaA minus is that there is no private parking. You have to park on the street, in front of the suite or wherever you find an empty spot. We thought it would be an issue, but it in the end it wasn't. The car was safe where we parked it and we would always find an empty parking spot when we returned to the suite. I would have given it a 9.5 rating if Booking permitted. On the whole, it was a nice experience. You have to keep in mind that Istanbul is an experience and you have to embrace the culture as it is.
The host, Turan, was great! He was very attentive and open. The photos were accurate. The suite was clean and quiet and had everything we needed, from kitchenware to everything we needed in the bathroom.

The amenities are in great working order, including the Wi-Fi, which is fast and reliable. We were three people, and we all enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return.

The property is ideally located near Taksim Square, with easy access to Istiklal Street and nearby restaurants. It’s perfect for longer stays, offering amenities like washing machines, dryers, and cleaning products, which made our stay very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout our time there. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, quickly addressing any issues. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Istanbul, especially for longer stays!

ItalyOverall, we had a fantastic stay and genuinely appreciated the host's kindness and hospitality. While there were some less fortunate aspects of our experience, I do mention them as suggestions for the kind host to consider for future improvements: Cleaning: Upon arrival, we noticed an underwear item left in the washing machine, some stained towels and bedsheets, and a few hairs in the bathroom. A more detailed cleaning prior to guests' arrival would greatly improve the overall experience. Toiletries: While hand soap was provided, the shampoo and conditioner bottles were already open and mostly used, lasting only a couple of uses. Since toiletries are listed among the amenities, I would recommend providing fresh, unopened products for the guests. Shower Temperature: While we could adjust the water temperature in the sink, the shower temperature could not be adjusted by the tap. It could only be controlled through the boiler, which we found a bit unusual. However, setting the boiler to a moderate temperature not too hot or cold made it manageable for showering. Humidity: Like many properties in Istanbul, there was some humidity in the room. However, opening the windows resolves this issue temporarily. Being on ground level, we understand this is a natural occurrence and expected.
Our stay at this property was an excellent experience, with several highlights worth mentioning: Prime Location: The property is situated close to Taksim Square, providing easy access to Istiklal Street for shopping and plenty of nearby restaurants. Great Facilities: Ideal for longer stays, the property offers useful amenities such as washing machines, dryers, and cleaning products. These conveniences made our stay particularly comfortable. Reliable Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi was fast and consistent which was a great bonus. Responsive Host: The host was incredibly kind and available to help with any issues. For instance, when the Wi-Fi temporarily stopped working, they addressed the issue. When we needed an iron or had any other requests, they were quick to provide assistance. On one occasion, when the cleaning lady was unavailable, the host personally came to clean the room, which was very thoughtful. Their attentiveness made a big difference. Thoughtful Gestures: Small acts of kindness made our stay even more enjoyable. For example, when we asked if the tap water was drinkable, the host not only gave us advice to use the tap water only for boiling and cooking but also brought us two bottles of water for our first night, which we really appreciated. Understanding Host: During our stay, we had a minor accident and accidentally broke two glasses. When we informed the host, they reassured us that it was no issue at all, which was incredibly considerate.

PolandThere is a very steep hill to climb to reach Taksim square from the apartment - be aware of this while booking
I liked my stay very much! Turan was very nice and welcoming - helped us with directions how to get from the IST airport in the middle of the night, got us a NEW clothes dryer when we asked for it and when we asked for the toilet paper he gave us a pack of 16 rolls! I loved the generosity and the welcome - it was awesome! Apartment itself is clean and nice, there is everything you need for a comfortable stay - all kitchen utilities, additional towels,blankets and pillows if you need it.

Its location is very good, very close to Taksim Square but you need to go uphill to reach the square. It is a small, clean and comfortable place to stay especially if you are willing to go around and not stay at home. Thank you for this opportunity. Definitely recommend it.

BulgariaProperty as of the room we stayed was great. Fasade of the apart is good. But the street is a bit sketchy. There is food garbage on the street which is not a great sight. The street has a slopy incline which could be a challenging part in the summer heat for pregnant women and elderly people even though the apart is very close to Taxim. Use Uber App to get a taxi cuz otherwise drivers will scam you with the prize.
Extremely kind and very responsive host. He provided us with a free parking spot on the street. Very well maintained and clean room.
