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.).

Wow, what a truly wonderful experience. Was in Istanbul with family for my Mum’s 60th birthday and the hotel made this so special. From a surprise celebratory bottle of fizz to incredible restaurant recommendations the hotel staff went above and beyond! Honestly could not fault the experience. The location is brilliant- only a stones throw from the bustling bars and restaurants of Beyoglu and really close to the tram and funicular for access to all the main sights of Istanbul. Thankyou to all the staff who made our trip so memorable- we will be back and will be telling everyone about the hotel!

United KingdomThere's nothing to really dislike! Minor points - there wasn't any natural light in the room which was not really a big deal because if it hadn't been for the rain (all day) on the last day, I'd have been out and about much more. It was also a little noisy in my room later at night on the Saturday (sounded like noise from a restaurant in the alley to the side, until around 12am) but this is only a minor downside of everything else that was so excellent.
Location is excellent, just off the main street, in a lovely building, not far from the Galata Tower. All sights are walkable. The staff could not be more helpful. Before my stay they messaged to offer to book an airport transfer (which I did) and gave details of a private guided tour that may be of interest. They gave recommendations for breakfast and dinner and nothing/no question was ever too much trouble. You are made to feel very welcome and as a lone traveller, I knew I could get whatever assistance I needed. I also received messages during my time there to check in on my stay and to ask if I needed anything. Complimentary tea, coffee and water are provided. Room was extremely clean, modern and spacious with a comfortable bed and all the facilities I needed including a safe. Reception also arranged my airport transfer for the morning I left.

MaltaThe room was great, the staff friendly, and the location was brilliant - easy to reach from the airport by metro (M11 to Gayrettepe and then the M2 to Sishane), and then from it, it was an easy walk across to the old town down hill (and for the up-hill return trip there's the simple F2). The hotel is twenty steps off the vibrant pedestrianised road that's the heart of contemporary Istanbul, where there are great restaurants and bars at normal prices. We were very glad we chose to stay on this side of the Galata bridge as opposed to the old town which was mobbed by tourists at all times.

The best location you can possibly if you want to be in the center and nightlife. I could walk to most of the tourist attractions and there is so much to see and explore. This is my 3rd trip to Istanbul and best hotel I stayed in. The staff is very helpful and attentive. Each one of them are excellent!

RussiaFrom the very beginning the place made a very good impression. The staff at the front desk are very welcoming, very helpful and eager to give recommendations about points of interest, how to get there, etc. The hotel location is very convenient to walk to various places on both sides of the Golden Horn. The room was spacious and very comfortable, despite some drawbacks, such as lack of sunlight, because windows were towards very narrow street, but this did not spoil the overall experience.

MauritiusThe carpet in the living room was not very clean. Needed a good hover. The TV in the room did not work but it was ok as the one in the living one worked. We took the studio. It is a good size, but beware no outside view at all,.so need to have lights on all the time even during the day. Good running warm water, could sometimes smell something from sewage. The pillows were perfect, the mattress needed to be changed
The hotel location is just perfect, being a few meters off Istiklal street. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. A special mention to Mustapha, who managed to get us an early check-in. We arrived at the hotel at 8am after a 10h flight. He also gave us a wifi dongle free of charge so we could stay connected when we were visiting istanbul. He gave good advice on places to eat. Another special mention to the lady at reception, when we checked out. She helped with our suitcases, and even called our cab, who was lost on his way to the hotel.

United KingdomI am a regular guest there for a reason. It is the perfect combination of luxury and modesty; welcoming and comfortable without being overwrought or stuffy. The rooms are generous and private, and quiet despite the boisterous neighbourhood. The position between three absolutely brilliant restaurants - one immediately downstairs - is an added bonus, and if you enjoy an hour’s walk (which I do), you can walk virtually anywhere in the city from this location. Really a gem of a place.
