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.).

GreeceThe hotel definitely needs renovation. There is no elevator. The furniture is quite old. The bed mattress was not very comfortable. If you get a good deal on the price, the room was suitable for a night's sleep.
The staff was very kind. The location is excellent. The sheets and towels were very clean. However, we overlooked the negatives because we got the room price on offer.

Russiathere is no elevator, so be ready to use the stairs which are rather narrow. But the host will be there to help! The hotel rooms need renovations, but for the price it was ok!
A small inexpensive hotel in a close proximity to Sirkeci train station, which is very convenient if you have an early flight from the SAW airport, and close to all tourist attractions of the Sultanahmet area. The neighbourhood is nice and very touristic, lots of cafes and restaurants around. The hotel is rather old, you should not expect much. The room i was offered was not big, but it was clean and quite ok for my short stay. The street was a bit noisy, but it didn't troble me much. At night it was quiet. The bed was comfortable, the shower was working well. The host Giorgy was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall, a nice short stay!

RomaniaThe first 2 night someone tried to enter our room - there are 2 rooms per floor - I guess the other guests tried to access the wrong door. The communication is difficult as the owner doesn't speak English. The rooms are definitely beat-up and need a lift-up - cracked paint, furniture
It is well located- best spot to access everything: the mosques, the galata side and also the assian side (both Marmara station and ferry one are very close -maybe 10 minutes ). Plus the street of the hotel is so charming. The sheets were white and very clean; the towels thick, white and clean. Loved the matress- it's on the hard side and we slept amazing on it. The internet works ok, but the second network (they have 2). The owner is prompt and willing to help, if any issue arises.

United KingdomThe curtains weren't wide enough for the window which let in street light/ early morning sunlight. This was easily sorted by hanging a blanket in the window though
The location was very useful for sight seeing. It was only a 5 minute walk from the metro station. The Blue mosque, Basilica cistern and Aya Sofia were all in walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is also a back street and a public park which lead to the accommodation, these are perfect if you want to get to town or the accommodation while avoiding the crowds or busy streets.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaCould've been a little more clean, and some items (like drawers, toilet) are too old and really need an replacement.
Situated between Sirkeci Tram station (T1), Sirkeci Marmaray station (Train) and Gulhane Tram station (T1), this hotel's location was great. 3min to Gulhane, 3min to Marmaray, 4min to Sirkeci Tram station. The room was very old but it is a good value-to-money ratio. Room had very good heating and hot water. Bed was comfy enough. The staff was very nice.

United KingdomNot having anyone clean the room or replacing the bed sheets/towels for the 6 nights I was there could be improved.
The location is fantastic. So central to access all the main touristy spots, but secluded enough that it is a nice quiet street. It's a great place to stay if you would normally stay in a hostel but want your own space. Bed, private shower, fridge and air conditioning. Perfect when using as a base camp.

CroatiaVery cosy small family hotel, situated in an authentic location, in the old Sirkeci neighborhood. Street is colourful, with few restaurants around, but very quiet at night. At the end of the street there is tram station, and just around the corner metro station, connecting for the airport. Short 10min walk to Hagia Sofia, and Eminonu ferry station. Hotel is run by friendly couple allways present for your needs. As a solo traveller, I felt perfectly good and safe in this hotel.
