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.).

AustriaWorn down a little, hotel could use some updating It was a little cold, no heating but the AC. Like I said before: great for sleeping and exploring the city; not so great if you wish to spend more time at the hotel.
Nice hotel in a very good location close to Galata Tower. We booked the economy bedroom (would not recommend) and were upgraded for free (thanks!!!) for the last two nights to a standard bedroom in the second floor (would definitely recommend). Great hotel if you plan to explore the city and only sleep here, if you want to relax at the hotel I would recommend booking a hotel with a spa/hamam option. Best thing about the hotel: the rooftop! Such amazing views!!!

The property is very close to Galata Tower and the busy shopping street. The terrace on the 5th floor has a good view of Galata tower and Bosphorois. I would like to thank Ibrahim for upgrading me from standard room to 4th floor. He is so friendly and he answer all my question and give good advices. The room is a bit old but its clean and the bed is comfortable. They have free tea and coffee at the lobby. Just be cautious not to bring big luggage because the street going to the hotel is steep.

BulgariaI have made a reservation with credit card and yet we were asked to pay in cash only. Only after some discussion we were allowed to pay by credit card. Rooms have some wear and tear, broken showers, etc. Not a big deal, one should expect such things.
The location of the hotel is very good - 200 meters from Galata tower and not noisy at all. Turkish coffee and tea offered at the reception. The terrace for breakfast is fabulous - great overview of the tower and the old town Istanbul. Double deluxe rooms were small, but well furnished and from the 3rd floor with a nice view. Rooms were clean and tidy. Day receptionist is polite and helpful.

Strategic, near to Galata Tower, everything is nearby. Of course you will sweat more because up and down hill still okay for young people.

United KingdomThe hotel was in a lovely old area of Istanbul, with a good deal of gentrification taking place all around. The staff were really friendly and helpful all the way through our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and it is available until 11am which was good for us. The room was nicely decorated and we had a kettle and fridge

GermanyUnfriendly staff, feels like they always want to fool you. Bad isolation in the rooms, you can hear what's going on in the room next to you. Weird noises were coming from the ventilation pipe, which probably was leading to a trash container also brining some smells from there + smell of smoke
good location, very close to the the main lively area. Breakfast was served on the rooftop with a great view. Beds are comfy and clean

United KingdomLocation is great, just in the middle of the old town. We have enjoyed a nice view on Bosfor from the window, you could see all the mosks and in the morning could hear all the prayers (if you open the window). Our host Amar was exceptional, helped us with everything and even quickly sketched for us a plan for the day with all the best places to see and nice restaurants to stop on the way - and they were great. I've never seen such dedicated and thoutful service - many thanks, mate!

There was a small minibar in the room but didn't have any stock ,the drinks were o ly at the reception, as well the kettle needs to be changed as it seemed really old and was not switching on
The location is great, and the staff was super friendly. The room was a good value for the money, but still, the service needs a bit of improvement,
