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 Nilya is very homey thanks to the two owners, who went the extra mile (literally) to make our visit comfortable and efficient. Every morning they would ask what our plan was for the day and help make arrangements. One drove us to Ephesus (about 5 miles away) and later picked us up. That was a huge help. We loved the little courtyard, where we had a very full breakfast every morning. The location is an easy walk to the town center, but far enough away to feel removed from the tourist center, and very close is a really excellent pizza restaurant. If you like/love cats, this is a great place to stay since the neighborhood has many that wander around. If allergic you may want to find rethink visiting Turkey!
The rooms are a bit small, but absolutely fair for the price.

Verified reviewThe place itself was incredible. The owners have exceptional taste in decor, and everything feels so rich and luxe. Authentic Turkish experience, and beautiful rooms. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, we felt so safe , comfortable and taken care of under their hospitality. Erdan drove us to Ephesus, showed us around, and was the best host I've personally ever had. This place was incredible, everything about it. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The garden area is beautiful. I can see why this place is booked out. Erdan gives you all the information you need about the area of selçuk and ephesus, and you get the best experience. Location is perfect, it's a 2minute walk to St Johns basilica and tomb, so close to ephesus. The town is extremely walkable from Nilya hotel. The whole thing was amazing and has left an incredible impression for Turkiye and their people and hospitality. A message from Alistair's wife to Erdan and business partner: I wish you and your families many blessings, and a healthy and prosperous life and business. Hope to see you again.

Verified reviewNİLYA HOTEL offers a peaceful, beautiful green courtyard — a truly lovely place to enjoy the generous and delicious breakfast prepared by the hotel. It was such a wonderful way to start the day! The host, Erdal, was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. He gave us detailed recommendations about the local sights and even lent us a book about Ephesus, which greatly enriched our visit to the ancient site. He took care of us in every way, making us feel both reassured and deeply touched. The location is also excellent — within easy walking distance to attractions like the Ephesus Museum, Selçuk İsabey Mosque, and the Basilica of St. John. There are a small supermarket nearby, and if you’re feeling hungry after 9 p.m., there’s a nearby street with several restaurants that stay open late, which is very convenient for guests returning later.

Verified reviewA beautiful small hotel, with a lovely covered courtyard and comfortably appointed rooms. The owner and his staff were so friendly and always happy to help; even providing a shuttle to Ephesus! Breakfast was great, with fresh fruit, freshly cooked eggs, bread and a range of jams. A great place to stay!

Verified reviewBeautifully located in a quiet green courtyard, Nilya - which is more a family residence than a hotel - has traditionally adorned rooms, with impeccable bathrooms and AC. In plus, not having TV sets in the guests' cool (in every sense of the word) rooms, one can enjoy, after a busy hot day out, complete relaxation and a perfect night rest. The breakfast, served in the garden, was delicious, with fresh fruit and vegetables every day - and the portions were huge. The owner, who speaks English fluently, was extremely nice and helpful, even taking us to Ephesus in his own car - and for free! Thanks again for everything and good luck!
It was all perfect.
