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 KingdomI would have given top marks but the bed was really rather lumpy.
We stayed for three weeks and the staff were wonderful the whole time. They were very helpful and understanding. The location is marvelous (be warned Istanbul is very hilly) and we had a wonderful view of the sea and the Sultan Ahmet mosque (Blue mosque) every morning at breakfast. Breakfast was varied and tasty. Our room was large and clean and the shower was good. We had a lovely view of the sea from our little balcony.

He also gave us an upgrade to one of the suites on the top floor - irrespective of this - the service from all staff was very friendly especially Omar’s offsider who’s name escapes me, was great.

Location is very nice to the tourist spots we want to visit. Breakfast is nice at the rooftop with nice view. The most amazing thing are the staff! They are very helpful in everything. My husband has limited mobility and he helped us find wheelchair for rent and carries it for us everytime we go out because there’s no ramp in the entrance. They are super friendly and helpful in arranging tour, and everything.

BulgariaWe stayed at the hotel during 28 April - 1 May. We are very happy with our choice. The rooms are spacious, bright and clean. The staff is very professional and all of them made us feel like we are in home. True and authentic hospitality. The location is very convenient, as it’s located very close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, as well there is public transport (T1) station near to the hotel. The food i good, with traditional Turkish yellow cheese and desserts. We recommend the hotel 100%.

The hotel was really clean and nice. The rooftop restaurant had the most wonderful setting and views. The breakfast spread was fantastic. The location being close to the blue mosque and hagia sophia and other attractions makes it very suitable

Normally you would say Location, Location, Location! but this hotel is much more than the location. Staff was outstanding, rooms were clean and big. The terrace view was amazing. Excellent breakfast and complimentary afternoon tea was cherry on the top. If this hotel is available when you are looking to stay, don't go anywhere else.
