Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing negative at all.
In such a competitive market the hosts stand above their competitors. They're a family run guest house and make you feel part of their family. So genuine and warm and cannot do enough for you. They have excellent knowledge of the area and beyond as some hotel chains do not and just give you a leaflet to follow. I cannot fault the hosts or their guesthouse as we truly enjoyed our time there and was made even more memorable by the beautiful couple who own it. Thank you and cannot wait to go back there 🙌

New ZealandWe had the budget room at the front, which was very noisy. The hosts try to advise people, but we missed the warning.
Very hospitable and friendly hosts; comfortable bed with best ever pillows; nice big bathroom towels. Wonderful breakfast in attractive room which also had an outdoor area. We particularly liked the pastries and the offer of Turkish coffee every morning (filter coffee also provided).

SingaporeWe were asked to pay in cash and not credit card. But this seems to be the case for most hotels in Turkey, even in Antalya and Cappadocia. It was not a big deal, but if you are not carrying cash then it may be of some inconvenience.
Had a great experience here. It is a good price at a great location. Rooms were big and very comfortable. Breakfast was a nice spread and provided with the room. The view was very good too with a nice balcony for 1 room and the Bosforus view for the other room.

HungaryWe are very happy that we chose this Guest House. The owners are friendly and helpful. The Guest House is next to Ayasofya and Blue Mosque, the best places are in walking distance. The room was cosy and had a balcony with excellent view. If we came back to Istanbul we would definitely choose Grandma's House again!
