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...).

Saudi ArabiaThe tap on the bathtub needs to be fixed as it was difficult to turn the hot water nob and took alot of strength to turn it on.
The font desk and bellmen were extremely helpful when I arrived. I enjoyed the ride to my room in the oldest elevator in Istanbul with the bellman and was brought up to a beautiful & large 19th century room overlooking the city with a balcony. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable, and I enjoyed the deep antique soaker tub along with the shower in the bathroom.

New ZealandHaving to leave.
The word exceptional was created for the Pera palace. Being there went beyond staying in a high-class place. As you enter, history envelops and transports you to an era of relaxation and of opulence while making you feel part of a warm and nostalgic family. It is a totally rare experience that will stay with this writer. Every part felt so unique and nostalgic. From taking the ancient elevator on the first trip to one's room, visiting the suites of Agatha Christie's, Alfred Hitchcock, Mustafa Ataturk and staying in Ernest hemingway's suite. The dining experience, along with time in the Orient Express bar, are must-dos. Their breakfasts were extremely good. Above all, I feel that every single staff member deserves high praise for their genuine desire to be there for their visitors. A true feeling of being totally welcome.

United Arab EmiratesWe were initially given a room with the view of a wall and the room smelled of cigarettes. Luckily the front desk were able to give us another room with a much better view and no smells, even though the hotel was almost full.
I love the ambience, history and gorgeous decor of this hotel and have stayed here before. Concierge are extremely helpful and friendly, it is well placed within the city and I always feel special when I walk in the door of the Pera Palace!

JordanRoom was very hot and dry. I called twice about the problem, and the reception told me that they checked. However, the room still felt too warm even after I set the AC at 12 degrees Celsius. The room card readers are old and not sensitive enough. We struggled every time we enter the elevator or to open the room door.
I liked the luxurious experience overall. Very nice and tasty breakfast. Room was quite spacious with high-end amenities. Service was good. The hotel is well-staffed, and everyone was polite and helpful. It’s nice to spend one night and walk around the hotel to see some older artifacts.

ItalyThe only thing I didn’t appreciate that much is that the breakfast was too expensive (25 euro per person) when in Istanbul you can have a gorgeous breakfast in almost every caffè for not more than 6 euro. And also that pictures are not allowed inside :) The hotel is so gorgeous that definitely deserves a picture!
The hotel is gorgeous, the location was very appreciated since it is right in front a taxi station (best way to move in Istanbul, in my opinion) and very near to many different facilities. The room was gorgeous and the level of the hotel is best quality.
