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.).

SerbiaI think that sheet and pillow sheet weren't clean, but I always carrying mine, so it doesn't matter. Stairs in hotel are small, but I noticed that many places has similar too.
Guys from reception were great, also they helped us with luggage and taxi from hotel to airport. Room was nice, bed was comfortable and whole stay there was great as well. Best thing about this accommodation is location: close to many historical localities in Sultanahmet, public transportation, Grand and Egyptian bazar and Eminonu port. This accommodation is great value of money, you can not expect something luxurious for cheap price as this one is. Beside some small shortcomings, I would defined again stay there!

IrelandVery little to dislike about the Emir. Perhaps some heavier curtains on the window to keep the light out at night. Anyone with mobility issues should request a ground floor room as the stairs are narrow.
Location was perfect, close to tourist attractions, the Metro and lots of restaurants to choose from nearby. Friendly and helpful staff, on hand 24/7 with any information needed. Very good value for money

ArgentinaThe room needed some minor repairs and some extras won't hurt (like, it has a boiler but no cups..). It's 3 floors and has no elevator, so if you have limited mobility, keep this in mind.

Venezuela- The bathroom was not very clean and we had issues with the water not draining fast enough during a normal shower, this caused the shower to turn into a small pool... the good thing is that the staff fixed the issue the next day after reporting it - Bed was not very comfortable mostly due to the mattress that was quite thin, the pillows were not very good as well and the bedsheets even though they were clean, in some cases you could still see old stains
- Location was exceptional, you can visit the main touristic places by just a 10-15 minute walk, it feels very safe as well - Staff were splendid (the 2 guys), they really tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible, they were very friendly and helpful, they provided recommendations for places to go (and NOT to go as most restaurants in the area have double or even tripled the prices due to tourists not knowing what prices should be reasonable), they also helped book the taxi to the airport and MADE sure that the taxi charged a fixed price agreed before your departure from the hotel) - Internet was surprisingly very fast and stable, you can easily stream whatever you want with good quality

About the hotel, I can say that it was very clean and very comfortable, and thanks to Mrs. Nargis who comes every day to clean. The thing I would like to point out is that this hotel deserves 5 stars, 4 stars for the staff and the fifth star for its geographical location. I recommend it to anyone going to Turkey thank you a lot and i wish you all the best sara and ahmed from algeria 23/08/2022

Superb location, friendly staff ready to help, comfortable and clean apartment with fridge, tresor and good view of the city. It is located at pretty calm street as well so noise isnt as disturbing as it could be. I liked the option of transport from airport to hotel, organised by this hotel if you need it, and its cheaper than normal taxi.
