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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe shuttle pickup from the airport was rather complicated and took a while, however, my shuttle to the airport was prompt and dropoff was simple.
Beautifully decorated rooms, and you can't beat the location - walking distance from all the nearby tourist sites so you can beat the rush. Breakfast was huge and delicious, it could accommodate plenty of diets.

This Hotel located close around 10 minutes to top attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia & Topkapi Palace. Plus, there are Bazaar and small convinience shop nearby too. Best things happened to me in the hotel is that: The Gentleman at the counter let us to have early check in as we were so exhausted from almost one day travelling from Madinah & the Breakfast i love it for its variety! I 'll miss this place surely 🥹

GermanyWe really liked our stay at Katelya Hotel. The hotel staff especially Yunus and Ferhat really guided us well about everything. The cleanliess and breakfast was also very good. Also, our daughter had her first birthday and they greeted her well with baloons and the decor. This gesture was a really nice one. And we will definitely choose Katelya for our next visit to Istanbul inshaAllah.

HungaryGreat little gem near all the main locations. The rooms are perfectly clean and maintained with an abundant buffet breakfast ( + the nice lady makes different type of omelets depending on your request). There is working elevator to reach upper floors.Really nice personnel they provide tips suggestions if you have any questions. Nothing to complain about the room is big to comfortably stay there, however you're not there for the hotel but for the wonderful city.Everything within walking distance.10/10
