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...).

the stuff was lovely, helpful and kind. I had issues with public transport due to national holiday on 1st of May and they gladly helped me with arranging alternatives, served tea and called taxi. The room had great view and bed was really comfy. Location was perfect, close to main attractions.

Noise during a few nights when there was work going on nearby late at night. The sofa bed was a little uncomfortable to sleep in.
I liked the location as it was an easy walking distance from some of the major sights. The hotel staff were fantastic and made the stay enjoyable.

Pub next door wont stop music/dancing/lights till mid-night—on Friday and we struggles to sleep a few hours to catch early morning flight. Double bed mattress uncomfortable, could practically feel springs in it.
In old town with most tourist attractions like blue mosque etc within 10 minutes’ walk. Two metro stations including Sultanahmet approx. 5-7 minutes’ walk. Owner/manager very helpful in arranging airport transfer/tours etc.

“Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The hotel was exceptionally clean and offered spacious rooms, especially when compared to other accommodations in the area. Its location was ideal, with easy access to nearby tourist attractions and an abundance of Turkish restaurants within walking distance. The owner of the hotel was incredibly humble and welcoming, always greeting us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. One of the standout features was the 24-hour access to the kitchen, stocked with tea, coffee, and a delightful variety of green teas. We had a superb time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality!”

The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everything exceeded my expectations; it felt like being welcomed by family. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options. We had a stunning view of the Hagia Sophia from our room. The staff provided us with walking directions and even gave us the phone number of one of the employees in case we needed any help. Overall, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and I would definitely return—no doubt about it!
