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...).

Staff were all excellent. A very warm welcome and our bags were carried to our room for us. The location was amazing, so close to many of the big attractions which we walked to. A bit quirky as it's not a hotel chain, but we liked the individuality of it. Breakfast was fine with a reasonable selection. The room was also a reasonable size with a decent bathroom.

United KingdomThe bathroom was not ideal. The wooden floor was squeaking and I woke up my daughter. The doors were thin, so when a couple next door had a shouting door slamming drama at 2am we all woke up and couldn’t sleep.
Fantastic location and nicely set out old building. Very friendly and helpful reception. Good breakfast

CroatiaWe really liked our stay at this hotel. First of all location was perfect. Also we liked hotels and room unique decoration style. Breakfast was delicious with many different food and drinks option. Room had a lot of light, but also curtains in case you like to darken it during the night. Also room size was good. And everything was clean. We got many towels and more than enough toileteries. Beds were comfortable. Staff were helpful and kind. And important to mention price was good, it was a great value for money.

PortugalThis is an old building so don't expect a lift. It's not ideal if you have limitations of mobility. Our room was actually a a "family flat" in the top floor and one of the rooms had a sloped ceiling. There were two beds in that extra room, and they were extremely comfortable.
This hotel is in a great location, 5 minutes from Sultanahmet and Aya Sofia. The breakfast is nice. Quite inexpensive. Our room was spacious, although it didn't have two single beds as paid and requested here via this website.

PolandThis location is close to center, so you need to be aware that in the morning you may be woked up by the prayers from the nearby mosque. It is not very loud, though.
We liked the hotel, it has unique style and feeling of history - not one of those large chain hotels that all look alike with neutral colors and decorations. Staff was very helpful to explain us the neighborhood and even went with us to show the directions to the nearby attractions and great fish restaraunt. We also used the storage room on the day of check-out, it is locked and very secure. Location is very close to all central attractions and to the sea as well. There are a lot of restaraunts, shops (one of which is open 24 hours), and so on.

First the atmosphere and the way they used local furniture. THen, the proximity to Sultanahmet and nearby cafés and restaurants.

United KingdomWe felt that the breakfast was nothing special, with low quality ingredients, and quite limited selection. You’d expect greater variety or changes in what was served, instead it tended to repeat itself and there was no attention from staff to cater food intolerances or dietary requirements. The staff also could try and be a little bit more friendly and polite especially at reception and the breakfast buffet.
The room decor was very unusual and the location was amazing. Super central and we could walk anywhere we wanted in the Sultanahmet and Fatih neighbourhoods.
