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.).

IraqOn my first night they gave me a smaller room than the room I booked because they had an error and my room was occupied, then the day after they forgot to move me to the room i booked and i had to remind them twice. The rooms are a bit damaged and need some repairs. The included breakfast is not as advertised.
The staff where good and the location is a bit crowded but nice.

RomaniaAlthough the reservation was made and paid for a superior room, we were accommodated in a basic room on the grounds that there are no differences. Moreover, it was not even possible to relocate because the hotel was overbooked.
The location is very close to the tourist attractions without needing public transport. Very clean and the possibility of parking the car.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaSince we liked it in the hotel, we decided to spend one more night in the hotel, so we had to move to another room. We were given a small room that is not suitable for a family with children (I told my mother that we would get a family room). The room is generally conditional, but it had shortcomings such as the shower in the cabin did not work, so we had difficulties changing the girl's diapers (the faucet and auxiliary shower are not functional). The window was poorly sealed, so it was a bit noisier at night, but luckily we only stayed there for one night. I believe that the staff was not aware of these shortcomings, otherwise we would have been given another room.
The LOCATION is perfect, the hotel is literally next to the Gulhane tram station. We booked a deluxe family room for four nights, everything was in order, fenomenal view of the main street. Although the street is very busy, the isolation is excellent and there was no noise. The room is clean, spacious, comfortable. King size bed, top quality mattress. The staff is very pleasant, ready to help in any way and at any time. I especially emphasize the cordiality and professionalism of the general manager, who was kind especially to our little girl who hugged him as if they had known each other for years. The employee Driele in the restaurant helped us every day, she speaks excellent English, cheerful and positive. She was at the service of all guests with a smile. The reception staff were also very kind to us. We got free parking in front of hotel. The breakfast that was included in the price was decent. There was a variety of food, just a little advice to include egg omelette type food, hot dogs and slightly less seasoned fried potatoes and the like. Most people from our area eat an omelette for breakfast, especially children.

BulgariaFrom time to time it was simply impossible to take a shower as the water was either too hot or very cold, but never the optimal temperature. The toilet broke down but no one paid attention to this and we had to use it like that until we left. It was very noisy in the room. You can hear everything from the street as well as from the adjoining rooms.
There is private hotel parking, need reservation. Small room and the bad was very comfortable. Good location, next to Gulhane park, very close to many historical landmarks, many shops and restaurants in the area. Good breakfast and beautiful view from the restaurant.

United StatesRoom A/C did not work and could not sleep at all. I booked a family room for 3 people but somehow booking showed only 2 people. But I clearly mentioned in my requests that the room was for 3. At the checkin time, hotel charged 50 euros for the the third person. If I had known about this earlier, I would have booked a room with the higher rate with another hotel.
Breakfast was great and service was excellent.

MalaysiaIf you have children that sleeps with you, the room isn’t suitable for it is too cramped. For a couple might be perfect. If you planned to stay more than 3 days, mind you that the closet is small.
The location is super close to the Ayasofya & Blue Mosque, it is nicer if you would walk via the garden and it’s not at the hilly side of the town. Breakfast good. The room is clean daily. The heater is too good, but there’s a window for ventilation

Malaysia1. Checkout time - was delayed as the staff was checking us our room before we can go (about 30 minutes) 2. Some staff couldn't communicate well in English, but majority was OK and helpful.
1. Location - very near to Gulhane tram station and main attractions were within walking distance. 2. Breakfast - spread was nice and coffee was good. View was superb overlooking the sea and city. 3. Room - complete facilities, just a little bit small but this is expected around this area.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaStaff are very kind, room was larger than usual in Istanbul, but it was overlooking the tram station and was a little noisy for me. The staff tried their best to accommodate and provided another room which was two floors higher, but still a bit noisy. The hotel has a beautiful terrace for breakfast with a beautiful view. And the location is perfect for tourist as it is close to all main tourist attractions.

The location is perfect, close to the bridge and sultanamet area. The receptionist (from Albania) nice and friendly I asked for a changing room the first day because on the first floor you can hear the tram and drivers overusing the klaxon.. The room was ok a bit small (one person) well furnished for amenity kit. The furniture could be change some scratches
