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.).

PhilippinesIt is very near to Sultanamet Square where most of the tourist spots are located like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern, even the Grand Bazaar is quiet near. There are also a lot of restaurants and establishments in the area. Public transport is very accesible. The hotel can also help you book tours and activities if you want to go to other places outside Istanbul.

Great guest house with an amazing breakfast, excellent location for exploring the main sites in Istanbul and Sultanhamet square. Rooftop terrace was perfect and a great view of the blue mosque, particularly lit up at night, and views over to the Asian side. Friendly and helpful staff, would definitely recommend

United KingdomSome of the guests were loud and although I couldn't hear the noise from outside, I could hear them inside the hotel...
My stay was amazing from the arrival until the departure. The reception was super welcoming and helpful, all staff was very kind, the breakfast was well-served and with variety. The hotel is located close to some of the most visited places and has good facilities, including to avoid the noise from the streets.

United KingdomWe noticed that some of the towels and linen could have been improved. We had booked a family suite only to learn that it was located on the 2nd floor with no access via the lift. We then opted for a ground floor suite instead that perhaps wasn't as appealing as the other. There was also construction works taking place opposite the hotel – a little heads up from the hotel would have been much appreciated especially as construction started around 7am!
The staff are very attentive. The location of the property was great! The interior decor was also homely and traditional, which we liked very much.

RomaniaThe room was very small and the little outdated in the sense that you could see it's a little worn out. Also my friends’s room had thick curtains and we think it retained a lot of dust leading to an allergy reaction from the dust inside, we don't know for sure. Maybe it would be a good idea to put thinner curtains.
I liked that the bed was very cozy, the room had good heating, housekeeping was maintained up to date, and the personal was very friendly and quickly responded to our requests via booking and also provided information when needed. The area is very central in the historical center of Istanbul so you can very easily reach out everywhere.

FranceBlackout drapes for the windows would be a plus....access to the room was with stairs...may pose a problem for persons with reduced mobility...the main building does has an elevator, so if need be, you should indicate your preference.
3 minute walk to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, dynamic quarter, many things to visit by foot, easy access to all services. Cosy room with tasteful furnishings and modern stylish facilities (bathroom, kitchenette). Kind, friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast terrace with magnificent views. Still miss the soft comfy bed!
