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.).

AustraliaThe hotel is beautiful. A rustic feel but still modern and very clean. The buffet breakfast was absolutely incredible. During our stay, the staff were so accommodating to anything we needed. They even walked us outside to our transfer and waved us goodbye!

AustraliaThe hotels dinner restaurant was lacking atmosphere which was so different to the rest of the establishment which was perfect.
The hotel was beautifully designed, soundproofed and located centrally. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The rooms reflected the history of the building whilst providing modern amenities.

ItalyThe hotel is located in a pedestrian area, so you'll have to leave the hotel to catch a taxi. An espresso or cappuccino is not included in breakfast, you'll have to pay for it separately.
The room is comfortable, spacious, and very well-appointed. The bathroom is large and spacious, with a bathtub; I would have preferred a shower. The breakfast was generous and varied, with savory, sweet, and other options available from the kitchen. Conveniently located, just a 15-minute walk from the tourist area of central Istanbul. In the evening, the breakfast room transforms into a Michelin-starred restaurant, with a romantic and peaceful atmosphere, with a rich and tasty menu, and excellent service.

United StatesBeware of traffic if you're planning to go to the airport by car from here. It can be somewhat unpredictable due to the chaotic traffic pattern in this part of the old city.
Building with rich history, and modern amenities and comfort. From a tobacco factory in the Ottoman days, to the convenient yet quiet location, and a great breakfast buffet, this is a place I'd return to next time I'm in Istanbul. The staff here is friendly, approachable, and definitely helpful in getting you where you want to go, or just giving you ideas of local interests.

United StatesOne of the best things about this hotel is that it is very quiet . Traffic is not allowed on the street so unlike the rest of very busy Istanbul, the street is totally quiet. Also, you cannot hear anything through the walls coming from the rooms next door. Be sure to get a room with a good view, some don’t have any view. The bed is super comfortable. You can refill the glass water bottle they give you and get ice at the bar downstairs. The staff is very nice. The rooms are starting to look a little tired and could be cleaner.

AustraliaWe arrived early in the morning and were able to check in then. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and looked after. The location was very central for the old district of Istanbul. Breakfast was great and staff are on hand to provide any extra requirements. The staff were very helpful by providing places of interest outside of the main attractions.

United KingdomNothing, everything was just what we wanted in a hotel
From when we arrived to when we left, the hotel was awesome. Well located in the old town, the Regie Ottoman is an oasis of calm, luxury with amazing staff. Our room was perfect and had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good. Nothing was too much trouble, whether organising airport transfers or even offering us sandwiches for our very early departure time when we left. We will definitely be back, highly recommended!

PortugalThe Hotel is located in the downtown area, very vibrant and fully furnished of public transportation (tram, taxis and boats). The breakfast was always very tasty with a mix of local and international products. The room was very cozy, perhaps a bit small but that didn't affect our stay. At last but not least a word to the staff, spectacular!!! This Hotel is on my top 5.

AustraliaThere was nothing about the hotel experience that was anything less than brilliant. Our only issue during our stay was the transfer back to the airport. The driver we had to return to the airport should never be allowed behind the wheel of a vehicle. He was the most dangerous driver I've ever experienced and we were shaking when we finally reached the airport. It may be an idea to ask the wonderful staff at The Regie to recommend a safer driver with a car that has seats and seatbelts that actually work. I'm certain they could screen the driver for insanity if asked!
This was a remarkable place to stay! Such a great experience, made even better by the brilliant staff who couldn't be more helpful and lovely
