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.).

GreeceIt was clean, with excellent service in where we had breakfast. The staff was really friendly, helpful and provided honest infos! The receptionists and the staff in general made us feel well taken care of. Breakfast was good and service was attentive and efficient. The location was great, especially for first time in Istanbul. The room was spacious and equipped with all necessary amenities. Great value for money!

United KingdomThe room was small but had adequate space- the bathroom however, was miniscule, with the smallest handbasin I have ever seen. The shower cubicle was very small, likewise, and a bigger/taller person than I would struggle to take a shower without bumping into the walls.
Great location on the edge of Sultanahmet overlooking the Marmara Sea- which means great sea views from the rooms and the breakfast terrace, not just a sliver of sea visible in the distance. Breakfast on the terrace was simple but tasty and plentiful, with the glorious view providing adequate compensation for any lack of variety. We were told breakfast is served at 8.30 am, felt this was a bit too late- but when we went to breakfast at 8 am, it was ready for us! The two members of staff at reception- Iyed and Hassan, were both very friendly and helpful, with Iyed's command over various languages, including English and French proving to be a great asset.

United KingdomI had a very pleasant stay at the Seahouse Suites. It's in a great location in Sultanahmet. The room was huge and a big bed was very comfortable. Nice bathroom with a decent size walk in shower. Had a balcony with a lovely sea view. Breakfast options were quite limited but more than enough to start day. The staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

RussiaEverything was great.
We stayed 2 days in the hotel and greatly enjoyed our staying there. We arrived early in the morning and the guys at the reception allowed to leave our luggage before check-in. The room was quite big and clean. There was a very comfortable bed and the sofa. The reception guys were very helpful and were available all the time via whatsapp. The hotel itself is located very close to main city sites. The balcony with the sea view was a perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea. We were a little bit concerned about the noise from the street but it was very quite. In the morning there was a common but sufficient breakfast: eggs, sausage, bread, cheese, fruit and vegetables, tea, coffee. We are very thankful to the guys for their service and hospitality and would be happy to come back!

RomaniaGreat location and a fabulous view over the sea. A little confusing if you came by car or maybe i just have a dumb GPS. There are parking lots close enough. Really nice and helpful staff. The boys at the reception are very nice and chatty without pushing you like in other hotels to buy trips or other stuff. They just are helpful and happy to have a conversation with guests. And we found out that i have a marching jacket with one of them :). The lady at the breakfast terrace noticed that my wife was not happy with her boiled egg and immediately gave her some scrambled eggs. Room was spotless and cleaned every day. Despite the cold weather, the A/C unit could make your room a sauna in minutes. Oh... did I mention the view?

BahrainThe room was comfortable for my mom and I. There is an absolutely beautiful view with lots of ships and boats passing by. Since it was during the winter, quite cold outside but the room was always very toasty, no need for heater. The staff were very helpful and always making sure to have the room clean, and inform us about changing of linen and towels. A special thank you to Eyad and Mohamed for the great breakfasts and conversations! They were very helpful with information on getting around Istanbul and different sight seeing areas! Eyad and Mohamed are doing a great job of making Seahouse Suites a comfortable and friendly family environment!

SingaporeThe property is a tad cramped with narrow staircase and does not have a lift but that is expected of such an old property. More than made up by the positives in my view!
Location and the staff are the best attributes of this property. Iyed and Dursun were extremely helpful and were always thoughtful about the needs of my family. They were really helpful in pointing out what we needed, be it transport, food or pharmacy. Really felt like they were more friends and not just hotel staff by the end of our stay. Well done Iyed and Dursun. The property had good wifi and also good runnning hot water. They had breakfast in the morning which was simple but sufficient. Property location is excellent. It was within 5-10 mins walk of Blu Mosque, Hagia Sophia and its adjacent tram station, giving you greater access to other parts of Istanbul!
