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.).

MexicoI cannot think of anything that I did not like. Our stay was perfect.
The staff is really friendly. Since we arrived to the hotel they show a lot of attention on the little details, they make sure that we had a plan and kindly offered tours according to our interests. The breakfast and the view of the restaurant is amazing. All the amenities are incredible and everything super clean but I enjoyed the shower the most. The hotel is located in a very convenient ubication. Aydin and Emir were very helpful and always greet us with a friendly smile. We are already planning to return to Istanbul and will for sure stay here!

AustraliaToilet a bit cramped in the corner but manageable for most. We had a large bed but bed coverings needed to be bigger. We were fighting over the dooner/ quilt. Over all, we loved our stay and would highly recommend. I had to really think about things I didn't like. This is a great hotel. Rooms not huge but for the amount of time you spend in the room, it's fine. The guys in the sweet shop next door should be given a wide berth. They will hound you every time you walk out or in. Don't be tempted. They will rip you off. Feel free to tell them,a Scottish women told you to avoid them.
Location and staff were fabulous. Room was spotless clean. . Included breakfast was lovely if you embrace Turkish breakfasts. Rooftop terrace for breakfast was fantastic. Amazing views of mosques and Bosporus while eating breakfast. Not a lot of street noise. Very highly recommended.

AustraliaOur room was a little stuffy at night because it was too early in the season for the air conditioning to be switched on. Wi-Fi was pretty ordinary with constant dropouts.
Central location, literally 2 minutes from the Blue Mosque. The street is almost blocked to cars and hence extremely quiet except for normal neighborhood noise. The staff were excellent and helpful. The cleaning staff were immediately cleaning the room as soon as we went out each day. The breakfast room has panoramic views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Bosphorus Strait. The breakfast itself was very varied and the buffet constantly replenished by the staff. We will definitely stay here again in future trips.

United StatesThe opening on the walk-in shower was tight for my husband, who's a big guy. But the cupboards in the vanity provided plenty of room to place our toiletries (we were there 6 nights)
The staff were terrific; very helpful and we were always greeted with smiles and wishes for a great day. Our room was clean and comfortable, and even had a small sitting area that came in handy. The large breakfast each morning had something for everyone, with the added bonus of being able to view the nearby Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus. The location of the hotel is perfect.
