Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United Arab EmiratesSmall rooms, bathrooms a bit worn.
Great location, minutes to the Blue Mosque. Staff were very helpful, from check in to check out. Food at lunch was excellent, recommend the Sultan’s Delight. Close to lots of shops that offered better prices than Grand Bazaar. A SOK supermarket, pharmacy, etc is just up from hotel for cheaper snacks and sundries.

ItalyThe wifi is not working properly. We though it was because our room was a corner one, but in fact it didn't work well at the reception, too. The breakfast area was very confusing, small and not very clean.
The location of the property is very central if you want to visit the area of Sultanahmed. Few steps from the blue mosque. The room was clean and not noisy.

United KingdomThe room size is small and the bedroom was very dark as there was only two lamps instead of one main light.
I liked the location of the hotel as it was near the Blue Mosque, grand bazar etc. Also the hotel rooftop view was pretty and there was a variety of breakfast options to chose from.

ArubaThe sign of the hotel outside is not that big, so it took a little while to get there in the cab the first evening.
The concierge was helpful and nice, even when we were checking out, we were offered some tea while waiting a short time for the cab. The hotel is within walking distance from many places we wanted to see. Breakfast was nice. You can also enjoy a beautiful view at night from the rooftop restaurant at the blue mosque.

United States of AmericaThe continental breakfast was ok. The hot foods like the eggs were warm and not very hot. But there were other options like cold cuts and cheese. The dining area was clean and scenic.
The location of this establishment can not be beat. It is literally within blocks of the blue mosque. There are multiple restaurants on the block itself. The hotel staff were very accommodating. My room was small but clean and the shower had very hot water which was nice. The hotel restaurant has an amazing view of the Blue Mosque.

United KingdomUnfortunately we could not have the window open in the evening due to the cooking smell from the kitchen. The view from the window was disappointing it being blank walls of neighbouring properties. This may not be an issue for others as the room had efficient AC.
The roof terrace alone sold it for me. The breakfast was fantastic, a wide selection presented each day, with plenty of variety for us vegetarians. The room was comfortable, perhaps a little small. Daily cleaning. We were within easy walking distance of the major areas of interest. 30 mins walk to the ferries.
