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.).

HungaryYou can hear everything from the street and also the cold coming in quite easily. However there is an air condition to heat up the room.
The hotel was very nice with quite big rooms compared with the majority of the hotels in Istanbul. The price-value comparison is perfect

South AfricaThe only negative is sound insulation. You can hear every sound from the other rooms, when they shower, when they flush the toilet, when they talk, when something is being moved, when a door closes, etc.
The location is amazing. It's literally a 5 min walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Sultanahmet tram stop and probably about 10min to the Grand Bazaar and Egyptian Bazaar. The front desk staff were helpful and always friendly. The bed is made daily, clean towels are provided and bins cleaned out. There are many restaurants and cafes in the area. The hotel itself is located in a more quiet side street so there is hardly any noise from outside. Breakfast in the hotel is very decent. I can definitely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay there again.

BulgariaThe rooms themselves were incredibly small, plus one of the two rooms we got was literally halfway underground. You could hear everything going on in the kitchen, the staff working on the floor chatting away, warm water is apparently being turned off after some point in the evening 11 PM there was NO warm water left one of the nights. You can hear everyone walking outside on the street and every single vehicle as if there is no window between you and them, since you're halfway underground, plus the curtains were not very good at covering the edges, so people could easily peep at you while you're in bed, lol.
The staff was super nice and very helpful with giving directions and went along with all our requests, which is a huge plus. If you are planning to be constantly on the move and only going back to take a shower and a quick sleep and don't care much about noise, then I suppose it is a very good value, as you are pretty much in the heart of the old city.
