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...).

BruneiThe room is not too big. The lights in the room could be brighter and the hairdryer could be stronger though. And the lift is quite tiny.
Faros Hotel is at the perfect location at the Old City within walking distance of tourist attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Mosque and others. It is just a few minutes walk away from the Tram which is so convenient! The staff at Faros Hotel are all so lovely. Special thanks to Jacob who helped me in any way he could. There was a problem with my hotel airport car, and due to this, the hotel had upgraded my room to a room with balcony. Jacob who also helped provide me with information on tours and helped booked me a show which I wanted to watch. The hotel also has lovely breakfast choices from breads, many types of cheeses, salads, eggs and cakes. It was lovely.

CanadaCentral location of the old city with lots of scenic places within walking distance. Amazing! Excellent locations for shopping and dining. City is full of excitement and activities. Local people are very nice ,friendly though most of them do not understand English ,they do try to help and assist anyhow. That really makes travellers feel comfortable. The Faros Old City has provided a wonderful breakfast that I haven’t tried from the other hotels before though the place is little and old fashioned. Yet l really enjoyed staying in that surrendering. Staffs are nice and helpful! Excellent!

Location is perfect. It is very close to everything: attractions, shops, restaurants and a tram. Restaurant food is very good. Reception staff was very helpful .

AustraliaThe Hotel has a perfect location as it is in close walking distance to the major attractions including the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. Our spacious room on the top floor has great views overlooking the street and beyond that we really took advantage of from the private balcony with the comfy bistro setting - a perfect spot for relaxing any time of day or night. It was a treat having our buffet breakfast in the lovely restaurant on the ground floor that looks out to the street. All members of staff are welcoming, friendly and respectful and sincerely went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable and memorable. A wonderful stay that we can recommend...
