Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe room was small, and because it was old it seemed that it needed deep cleaning.
A very welcoming staff, the staff and the services care a lot about the guests. We booked a breakfast included and it was very nice. The location was awesome, there are nice small cafes around and of course they have their rooftop restaurant. Overall a good experience.

United KingdomOur room was below reception and didn’t have a view.
A lovely welcome on arrival with complimentary Turkish Delight and tea at Reception before being shown to our room. The room and bathroom were spacious and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was excellent, in the heart of Sultanahmet and close to The Grand Bazaar and the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. The reception staff recommended local places to eat and visit. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was an added bonus.

New ZealandLocation is within walking distance of most of the famous attractions in Byzantine Istanbul, eg 1 minute to famous Turkish bath; 4 minutes to hagia Sophia church; 7 minutes to Grand Bazaar. That location is important because the road traffic congestion is appalling: even taxis dread going there. You can avoid all that by staying at this hotel and walking. Very appealing Turkish atmosphere in hotel, not like American-style hotels where you are not sure what country you are in because they all look the same.

United States of AmericaThe location was absolutely perfect! All the main attractions were within a 2-3 minute walking distance. The hotel is surrounded by fantastic restaurants and local shops. The staff was the absolute sweetest as well! They would ask us how our day went, if we needed any assistance, and we would even have afternoon tea with them and chit-chat. Highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

United KingdomRooms were a bit too small, so you do feel suffocated if you stay inside for too long. If you have medium or big size suitcases/luggage, you'll struggle to walk around freely in the room.
Excellent location (close to the main tourist attractions in Sultanahmet), lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, friendly and helpful staff, decent selection of breakfast items. Sultanahmet tram/metro station is only a few mins walk from the hotel.
