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.).

RomaniaThe breakfast was a little simple. I was expected to more options. But the food was ok.
The room was very cleaned. Every day the cleaning was done and the towels were changed. The stuff was also very very friendly and if we had some questions, they helped us. The view was perfect. Also we were lucky and we found it to park in front of the hotel.

GreeceIt was a small hotel and two of the rooms were just in front of the external door, across the reception. Door being at a 2 meter distance from the reception and another half from the door.The rooms were all the same but had different issues (eg lights not working, balcony with limited space because of the air conditioning external unit, things like that). Bathroom too small (we could not go near the sink to brush teeth). Overall the experience was very good but the hotel was not what you expect from a 3star hotel.
The staff was super friendly, helpful and professional! Especially the receptionist informed us of the places to visit, where to find tram tickets etc and also arranged our transfer from/to the airport. When we asked to switch room he accomodated everything! Also, the rest of the staff did their best to prepare breakfast, clean the room etc!! Great!!

BulgariaThe staff is really friendly and always ready to help or assist you with anything. The location is close to Aya Sofia (5-10 minutes walking) and also the rooms have amazing sea view! The rooms are well decorated and clean! I absolutely recommend it to everyone and the next time I go to Istanbul, I won't consider other hotel than this one.

United StatesShower fixture should be fixed. Need soap dish in shower. A busy road runs behind but didn’t bother us at all.
Nice neighborhood, close to Sultanahmet. Big room with big terrace and sea view. Helpful staff. Ilya good guy at front desk. Cheap price. Good value for the price. Near to seaside path, wife used it for running. Near to a government restaurant Ilya told us about super cheap and good. The Marbella restaurant is right next door and will deliver to your room or eat there on the windowed terrace. Excellent food and low prices.

United KingdomNothing that I can mention about.
Location was at the heart of the ancient Istanbul. All the majors sights were within very short walk (5-10min) Beautiful ocean view 24/7 from the room. Staff behaviour was the best. very helpful at everything. For instance, first day our flight was delayed by 7 hours due to bad weather. Manager waited for us until 4am in the morning so that we can check in without an issue. Definitely recommended and I am confident that no one will be disappointed.

RussiaMaybe add brighter lamps to the room.
I have been choosing the hotel very thoroughly and it appeared to be amazing! Very spacious room with a big sea view balcony and windows. Big thank you to the hotel representative! He is very kind, friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome. He helped to arrange many things, including calling to the airline from his phone. The room was cleaned very well every day. Breakfast on the rooftop with sea view includes buffet (tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, cheese, ham, bread, jam, melon) and scrambled egg cooked for you. There is also a toaster for bread. The hotel area is safe and very nice. The view is incredible!

RomaniaThis hotel is simply adorable! It is small, but very well organized. And it realy looks like in the pictures. It is close to the main attractions, restaurants. The rooms are spacious, we had a sea view room, and the evenings we have spent there, in the balcony, after hours and kilometeres of walking/visiting, are priceless. The hotel is also located in a quiet area and also safe. But all of these would mean absolutely nothing without Illyas, who manages the hotel. It is quite rare, nowadays, to find a person who, besides his professionalism, he is also emphatic, calm, and ready to solve/manage any issue that might come up. Illyas gives life to this hotel! There is a saying: "man sanctifies the place". So, Illyas sanctifies Seahouse Suites!

CroatiaYou can hear traffic from the outside because of the pretty busy road. If you close the windows it is better and you get used to it, it is not so noisy, but it can be hot in summer days so you need to turn on air condition when you are in the room. I wouldn' say it is value for money. Maybe it is a bit expensive for what you get. It is my opinion.
The location is great, in the centre, near the most famous sites. There is a market nearby which is open until the late hours. The view from the top terrace is beautiful. The host Iliyas is very kind, nice, honest, ready to help and he wants his guests to be satisfied there. The bed is comfortable. The room is ok, basic. It can be very hot inside but the A/C functions welland it helps a lot. The street where the Seahouse Suites are is quiet and nice but the rooms overlook the other side which is not so quiet because there is quite a big road there. Breakfast was fine and every day popped up something new.
