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.).

Breakfast table wasn’t cleared away, therefore had to move the plates to the side to eat. Staff not approachable. The lift stop working. Internet was very poor only worked certain areas. No pray mat in the room it’s a Muslim country and lots of Muslim guest at the hotel. Thank god I carry my pray mat.

Verified reviewMy stay was extremely comfortable. The rooms were clean and cozy, towels were changed daily, and bottled water was always provided – a small but very thoughtful detail. The breakfast was not the most diverse, but it was delicious and more than sufficient. Everything in the hotel was on a very good level. Another big advantage is the location – the hotel is within walking distance of the tram stop, which makes getting around Istanbul very convenient. Highly recommended!

The only thing that should makw a difference in this hotel is the "...rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the city". It is CLOSED. Breakfast served in front of a never ending traffic jam. In my view that's simply a FRAUD.

Verified reviewCentral location, close to the historical landmarks and to the tram ststion. We got lucky and we were given rooms on the top 5th floor where the view is very beautiful and authentic the mattress are very good, firm and thick, big plus fot this! The room has a safe and they provide bottled water every day. The hotel alao has a nice restaurant which has matching or better prices that the neighboring restaurants. Transfer from/to the airport was good. The hotel has an elevator, which is handy as one of our family members is in a wheelchair, although, at the very entrance, there are 3 steps with no ramp or lift but the staff was always ready to assist as much as possible.
The hotel needs maintenance, some amenities are in a rough shape, and they would not require a lot of effort or money to fix. To name a few, we had furniture drawers with no handles, damaged flooring, electric sockets falling out from the walls, torn bed sheets, poor lighting, wobbly toilet seat, damaged doors, etc. The rooms are pretty small. Soundproofing is not there at all. You will hear everyone, and everyone will hear you. The breakfast is modest. It would be great if they added at least omlet or fried eggs and porridge. My parants had tea in their room, but no kettle. Common sense was not there.

Verified reviewWe ddnt like anything as none of their team member bothered to check the cleaning of each room on daily basis.. The photos of breaKfast which they shown on their website are fake...breakfast items were missing & ordinary... They charge you so much but deliver nothing....breakfast is total a scam
Not worth it...

Verified reviewVery close to tourist attractions including a tram station and the staff very friendly and helpful. Cleaning is done every day. 15 minutes on foot to the Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet
Breakfast is recommended to be changed daily, you can't eat the same food. The furniture that needs to be changed including the flooring. You don't have much space in the room. The air conditioning is poorly positioned. Parking is paid separately and they set the price on the spot; you can find cheaper options elsewhere if you are patient.
