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.).

Everything :D Staff: The owner is so, so friendly. He gave us recommendations on where to eat (Hidden Paradise) and even helped to wash our car before we left as he noticed it was dirty. The owner's wife even prepared delicious desserts that we could take for free, along with free water and tea, at the lounge area. Room: Room was clean with free toiletries provided. Only downsides were that they did not have a wardrobe or hangers, and the room was slightly small. But our room had a queen bed and a single bed so we put our luggage on the single bed. Views: Our room did not have its own balcony but there was a shared balcony just next to it overlooking the city. The sight was amazing and we loved that we could hear nature sounds, the azan and a bit of the live music playing at night. We loved sitting at the balcony and just enjoying the view. Location: Very near the main city centre! We walked everywhere we wanted to go (museum, the markets, Hidden Paradise). Food: Breakfast was great! Typical Turkish breakfast of bread and spreads. They will prepare some cooked veggies, eggs, fries and cheese sticks too.

United KingdomI found my pillow a bit hard and big which was unfortunate...we are all different, though, because my husband had a really good night's sleep!
The hosts were so friendly, the room was delightful and the breakfast was delicious! We were able to park our hire car right outside the hotel and it was a pleasant 5 minutes stroll into the ancient centre of Safranbolu. Providing free tea in a separate communal room was a nice touch, thank you for a lovely stay.

South AfricaI regret only spending 1 night here, really wished we booked 2 nights as this place was absolutely gorgeous!
I absolutely loved everything about this place! It exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the time we arrived we were greeted by friendly faces and amazing hospitality. We were shown to our room and were told that tea is served at 6pm in the tea room. Our room was the cutest little room with big windows and tons of natural light, which opened up to the most amazing view of the little village! It's on a hill so the view is absolutely breathtaking. We remove our shoes before entering (which I loved, so clean and hygienic!) and keep them in a shoe rack, there are new hotel slippers provided in the room if you don't want to walk around barefoot. The place was immaculate, neat, clean and tidy, the bathroom is very clean and modern and the flowers were such a nice touch! The place is new so everything is really lovely, although I did see the old hotel as well and it's just as nice. We enjoyed our teatime in the tearoom, served with the most delicious cake and biscuits, and the friendliest cat to keep us company! The hosts are very warm and hospitable and treated us like family. There was a balcony outside our room with the same spectacular view which we enjoyed at night too. We asked for a good restaurant and were directed down the road, just a few mins walk away. Tuzcuhan restaurant was lovely as well, and it was located a short walk down the road, also at the entrance of the little market. There is also a masjid (mosque) here which my husband was thrilled about. We strolled through the market and bought little trinkets and some safron, had supper at Tuzcuhan, prayed in the masjid and then made our way back to Gunes Konak Otel. Breakfast in the morning was an absolute treat! We were served the most delicious breakfast of simit, a basket of fresh bread, a variety of cheeses, jams and marmalades (the rose jam is amazing!

United StatesVery clean. It’s a family run place, so it had a homey feel. The owner was easy to contact on WhatsApp. He was kind enough to pick us up at 2:30am in his own car. View was beautiful and breakfast made by the family was excellent. He also dropped us off at the bus station at 6:30am. Would stay here again.

First the location overlooking the valley (the view!)while being easily accessible; the beautifully renovated building; the tastefully arranged bed room with the surprise of a complete modern bathroom hidden behind a wooden closet; the superb breakfasts; the friendliness of the owner and his staff (and even of the cat!), who went out of his way, offering to drive me in and out to the long-distance bus station; all this made me forget that the weather wasn’t the best!

MalaysiaNothing. Seriously.
Mr Murat (the owner) and his family took good care of us throughout our whole stay! Good communication to ensure we safely arrived at Safranbolu bus station and picked us up from there to his guest house for free! The rooms were so comfortable, clean bathroom with good hot water and pressure, the homemade breakfast was so amazing, the facilities are well maintained and free flow of tea at their kitchen/ pantry. The location was perfect which was just 5 min walk downhill to the the Cinci Han area. Safranbolu was so calm and not crowded, and having stayed at Mr Murat’s guest house made our trip so memorable. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.
