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.).

New ZealandThe noise outside was something else. The area supports many nightclubs and they pump the bass until after 4am. Even with earplugs wedged in it’s extremely difficult to relax. This was in the early part of the week. Absolutely everything else was brilliant: I went on a holiday around Turkey after staying at Istanbul, and I rate Rafinn Hotel as very good in comparison.
The breakfast was pleasant, the bed was phenomenally comfortable. (reaaaaly comfortable!) everything was really clean. Easy walk to the main pedestrian street. Staff accomodating. Really good value for money. Walking distance to all other tourist spots (if you’re a walker). Nice bustling area. Safe.

Nice hotel. Everything is modern and clean. Our room was spacious and had the high ceiling which is definitely great. The bathroom was comfortable and had enough space. Moreover, this hotel is dog-friendly , we stayed with our dog and had no issues. Breakfast is ok but might be better. I would like to thank a guy on the reception, he is from Azerbaijan. He helped us to get a taxi during traffic jam with a worthy price. Thanks a lot.

IranThe biggest drawback to our room was that it smelled like sewage. One night when we were going to sleep, the smell was so bad that we could not sleep. We also told the receptionist, but it didn't help. The breakfast was good but it was the same every day and the breakfast was very small and inappropriate.
The location of the hotel was very great, our room was on the top floor and it was great in terms of size and cleanliness, just like the photos on the site. Turkish tea at the breakfast table was unique!

TunisiaThe room was too small. I was with my wife and we couldn't move freely within the room. I don't know if this is the case of all the rooms but room 17 in the 4th floor is too small The reception staff (3 persons) is kind and they speak english but one of them was a bit harsh and Sometime he did not respond to us when we tell him good morning or good evening.
Location is excellent. The fact that the hotel was equipped with an elevator is very important. The breakfast is satisfying. The hotel is clean.

TurkeyIn general everything was fine except some cases during check in and check out. First of receptionist asked a cash deposit amount which was never shown on my booking reservation. I asked him why it was never mentioned before and couldnt get any proper answer. I wanted to pay the deposit fee by credit card which is very common in anywhere in the world but he said they only accept cash amount for deposit. I said okay I'm going to pay it but please give me a receipt which shows that i paid this deposit amount and you took it from me, signed and stamped. He said they will prepare it and give it to me. I went up my room and after some hours i went down back to ask about receipt but he told me they cant organize a receipt that they too deposit from me. I said in case you deny that i paid this amount as a deposit then how can i prove that, there was no answer as expected. Also when I'm leaving I asked an official invoice and they sent me a non official word file. After my stay I asked twice to get official invoice and finally I could get it. Such administrative issues should be clear satisfy Guests.
Location is really good and easy to access. Breakfast is enough and good. Rooms are cozy and stylish. You can reach subway and all necessary things around easily just by some little walk. You are definetely in the heart of city.
