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.).

United KingdomNothing - everything worked well and couldn't have asked for more. Maybe the area didn't have much nightlife or restaurants, but that's the price of being nearer many of the tourist attractions.
Easy and good value. So cheap for such a high quality hotel, didn't disappoint. Nice room had a great view over massive mosque. Comfortable and everything well functioning. Good shower, WiFi, tv. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Lots of nice touches like matches and shoe polish which although I didn't use made it feel a bit more thoughtful. Very short walk to old area of city, further from commercial centre but always a trade off

UkraineThe check-in time is 12 PM. We arrived at 12:30 PM but the room was not ready yet. They let us check in 10 minutes after but it looked like the room had not been cleaned properly, and there were floods of water all over the bathroom floor. The Wi-Fi signal is so slow and low that it's impossible to use it. There is no taxi point close to the hotel. They also do not cooperate with any service themselves. We asked them to call us a taxi upon checkout but they were only able to use a standard "taxi button" - and no taxi came as a result. We were lucky to catch one on the street otherwise we would be late for a bus.
The breakfast had a good variety of fresh dishes to choose from. Our room had a lovely little balcony. When we asked for cleaning the next day, the room was finally cleaned properly. The location is very central, and you can get to any corner of the city by taking a subway or a bus.

UkraineEverything was fine with the cleaning, but if the cleaner forgot to leave a new roll of toilet paper, do not try to ask for it by calling the reception - it is better to go right down and explain in words))) The Wi-Fi in the room (304) worked completely differently - on my iPhone perfectly, on my friend's iPhone - poorly.
Breakfast is usual for such hotels, it is the same every day, but it is difficult to stay hungry. The location of the hotel is excellent, there is a taxi station nearby. It was cool at night, and at our request we were immediately given a blankets.

TurkeyI was disappointed that the staff did not remind guests to wear facemasks as they moved around the hotel, used the lift etc. At the time I stayed there Ankara was rated "High Risk" for Covid so this made me feel uncomfortable.
The breakfast at Grand Sera was much better than at most hotels in Turkey with plenty of choice. The room was spacious. The hotel is very well located with easy access to the fantastic Museum of Civilisations amongst other historical attractions. There is a bonus of some very good restaurants nearby.

UkraineCigarettes smell everywhere, everything (bed’s edge, carpet, pillows and blankets) smells. We were suggested to change a room, 2nd one was better but still smelled terribly. We had to sleep with windows open. After first night we found cigarettes ashes on the floor, so cannot rate cleaning high Although, there is a sign at the reception that smoking are prohibited, there are ashtrays and matches in the rooms, so they basically motivate people to smoke in the room.
Good location, close to Ankara Castle, museums and bus stops nice staff Big comfortable bed Amazing view from the window
