How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe apartment is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The host is very helpful, disposable and provides valuable information. The appartment has a terrace with beautiful view over the Bosphorus. The location is excellent- within walking distance of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace.

Verified reviewBeautiful views! Amazing to wake up every day and look out over the Marmara and end the day with a glass of wine or tea on the gorgeous balcony. Aslan and Gulnar were amazing and communicative the whole way! Check in and check out was so easy and nice and they are wonderful people. As others have stated, it is a fifth floor walkup. This wasn't a surprise when we booked (it says it in the description) and there is nothing the hosts can do about the construction of a building! However, if you're not in good shape or have mobility issues, you should be prepared! The area is top notch and near all the attractions for "first timers." I REALLY appreciated the book they put together with recommendations, warnings about certain things, and sights to see! The place is absolutely lovely and we look forward to booking when we come to Istanbul again!
Nothing. We loved, loved, loved it!

Verified reviewIts near everything you want in Sultanahmet, very classic place and if you like classic things it will be the perfect place to stay, but if you prefer modern places so i dont recommend it for you.
The stairs! Giving the fact that Istanbul is not flat and you need to climb the narrow streets to reach the place, you still need to climb the stairs to reach the apartment

Verified reviewWe traveled with our 1,5 year old and stayed in the penthouse apartment. The location was great, very close to the Grand Bazaar and in walking distance of most great attractions. The apartment was comfortable and very well equipped. The spacious balcony has an amazing unobstructed view over the Bosphorus and was great for relaxing in the evening without disturbing the baby after she went to sleep. And yes, it is a 4th floor with no elevator, but honestly the stairs were not that bad and we were climbing them twice a day with a baby (but we do have a lightweight compact stroller). If visiting Istanbul again, would love to stay here again.
The one thing I would change is the room curtains to some black-out ones to keep the room dark, specially in the summer time when the sun raises early.

Needs night light above front door of building for those arriving after dark, but nothing to do with the accommodation itself.

Internet broke in the last day, but Aslan tried to help and even offer a compensation for using our mobile internet. Couldn’t find capsules for coffee machine in nearby shops.

Verified reviewProperty was near to many major tourist attractions. There was an AC. Balcony had a nice view to the sea. Friendly owners. Comfortable beds.
When we arrived, we were told there is problems with electricity in bathroom, and that we will not able to close the door to bathroom because there was a cable going were the door should close. That was a little annoying because there was an unpleasant sewer smell coming from WC. Later on, we tried using the washing machine and when we turned it on, it made very loud noise and released a bunch of sparks and started smoking. We got really scared and immediately called owners, they did not pickup so we called person who greeted us and I guess who where working there. We got and apology and were told that the washing machine was probably the reason why the electricity was not working in bathroom. And we got also a replacement washing machine. In my opinion, there was other stuff that also needed replacement, because it was broken or too old. (Lamp near sofa was unstable and looked like it will break every time you touched it, bath was collecting water when you shower, lots of kitchen counter door were squeaky, refrigerator was making noises all night, sleeping room light was very dim and bed side cabinet drawers were falling out, etc.) Also the appartament floor was not very clean on arrival. We even found some old medication lying on floor near eating table. Which wad not very safe because we were travelling with a small child.

The steps to the apartment This apartment could be exceptional with a few tweaks Needs a new shower head the one in the apartment has a leak and sprays water everywhere. Needs a new rug the one in the flat is threadbare The chair in the sunroom needs replacing Needs a new ironing board cover Not all the lightbulbs worked

Verified reviewI stayed on the top floor so the view was amazing. I could see the beautiful sea from the room. I would like to stay here when I come to Istanbul next time. And the owner is very kind.
There is no elevator so it is hard to go up to the room with suitcase. Also the way to the nearest station has steep slope.

Verified reviewNice neighborhood (quiet, away from crowds) but may be problematic if you travel with kids. Grand bazaar, agia Sofia are very close. So is the tram. No problems with logistics. The view is great. Especially when you get back home after a tiring day. The host was very attentive and helpful! Mind the stairs. We walked 25-30 thousand steps daily and going up to the apartment was our final challenge. We managed because we knew that the apartment is nice and waiting for us
