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 reviewGreat location in the old town. Surrounded by great restaurants and a short stroll to the Hippodrome and Mosques. The staff are super friendly and the views from the breakfast terrace are gorgeous. I would highly recommend the family suite even for a couple as the extra price is worth it.
Very hard to find a fault.

Verified reviewThe staff is EXCELLENT. The hotel is neat & clean. They allowed us to leave their luggage there for a while after check-in, as we had the rest of the day in Istanbul and were able to collect them at the end of the day. Breakfast on the terrace was good. Location is EXCELLENT , so close to the old town.
We were on the first floor, accessible by stairs only, which we hadn’t realised beforehand. Lugging up suitcases at our age & after a broken foot suffered earlier in the year , is getting difficult.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, our helpful team, the breakfast on the terrace, and our central location. We're always happy to store luggage to make your day easier. We do understand that stairs can be challenging, especially after an injury, and we're sorry for any inconvenience. Please don’t hesitate to let us know your preferences next time — we’ll do our best to provide a more comfortable room option. We truly hope to welcome you again!

Verified reviewCharacterful hotel in an old Ottoman house with many Ottoman furnishings. Excellent location convenient to the Sultanahmet sights & the tram. Lovely rooftop terrace with views of the Blue Mosque & the Bosphorus. Room & bathroom both good, especially the shower. Helpful management. Secure. Fantastic breakfast on the roof terrace.
Nothing of note. Bathroom ventilation would be good

Verified reviewWe were referred to this hotel once, and now it’s one of our favorite places to stay in the historical district in Istanbul. The authentic interior and perfect location, close to our favorite places in the old city, make us want to come back to this hotel again and again. It’s a pleasure to meet the same staff working there for years. Their smiles and hospitality at any level, along with their accommodation of our needs, make us feel welcome. The gorgeous view from the rooftop to the sea on one side and the majestic Hagia Sophia on the other side looks lovely at any time of day or night. The breakfast buffet includes local, homemade lemonades and omelets with veggies, which became our favorite morning dish. The hotel charges for the delicious Turkish coffee, but it’s worth it. We stayed in different rooms, and this year, we found the hidden gem – spacious, comfortable, and cozy at the same time. We were enjoying the unique, gentle aroma of the bath towels, the bathroom rose sachet, and the open wooden windows bringing the cries of seagulls and a divine imam chanting.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartwarming review. It truly means the world to us to be one of your favorite places to stay in Istanbul’s historic district. We're so glad the authentic interior, perfect location, and familiar faces have made you feel at home with each visit. It’s wonderful to hear that our team’s consistent hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine smiles continue to make a lasting impression. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed the rooftop views—both the sea and Hagia Sophia are truly magical at any time of day. It’s also lovely to know that the breakfast buffet, especially the homemade lemonades and veggie omelets, added a special touch to your mornings, and that our Turkish coffee was worth the treat.
