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.).

ParaguayBreakfast is served in the small hotel next door where the receptionist is not so friendly. Although for € 5 you can not pretend much. Breakfast is available at 8:30 so if you have to leave for a tour earlier, you can not take it.
It is a cozy, clean hotel, with beautiful stairs with flowers at the entrance. The room was according to the reservation, clean, clean and comfortable bathroom. The staff speaks English more or less fluently. They are all very friendly and go out of their way to help.

EstoniaIt wasn't big, but the ceiling was high, so it didn't feel claustrophobic.
A very cozy place - ideal if you don't want to break the bank while staying 5 minutes away from the main historical landmarks. The location is perfect, the area feels safe in the evening. Be prepared to climb hills, though, as most of the streets in the area are quite steep. The personnel are all extremely friendly and helpful. They made a few really good recommendations, including the best place to eat in the neighborhood. The reception is open 24/7, which is rather convenient. They also provide tea, coffee and water. We opted out of breakfast, but there's a couple of very affordable places around to get a nice morning meal. The room itself was clean and as we expected - like in the photos. Our windows were facing the bay and we could watch ferries - very beautiful in the evening. All in all, the best you can get for the price!

United KingdomThis area has lots of walking inclines - be prepared for that. Tourist restaurants everywhere - i was hoping for a more authentic street food experience but this is not the hotels fault. Just comes with the location.
The price per night was great considering how Hagia Sofia is in walking distance. Deluxe balcony room had a great ocean view and was the main reason I picked this hotel. Owner was friendly and willing to help with any requests. 24 hour access, very easy to come and go as you please. Area is also very safe at all times from what I saw and there is also a lovely cafe nearby - The Rabbit Hole.

IrelandNo elevator within the building and after a long walk it's a torture getting up to the 5th floor)) also the hotel is located down the hill so you'll need to go up and down the hill every day so might not be suitable for the elderly people.
Close to the main mosques: Hiya Sophia, Blue Mosque and Top Kapi. There are restaurants nearby. Very helpful and friendly staff, they will help you to pick and book the best attractions in Istanbul. Overall, it's good value for money.

South AfricaWhen we arrived, my first thoughts were that it is not the best area, but later we realized it is maybe one block away from the flashy parts, but still very conveniently situated close to all places we wanted to visit.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful - with good advice and arrangements when needed - laundry, taxi, places to visit, information and on last day after booking out and waiting to leave for the airport. Facility was very well placed close to all the main attractions and transport. Even the cats were friendly and welcomed us!

SpainWe stayed there for 5 nights, the staff from the hotel was really friendly and helpful, location was much better than expected as it was just 10 minute walking from Hagie Sofia, also many restaurants and shops next to the hotel. The room was spacious and bright, on the 4th floor without an elevator but the staff helped us to bring our luggage up.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaIt is not what I didn't like, just a few notes to keep in mind when booking: - you need to go a bit up the hill to the hotel - there are many stairs in the hotel and no elevator - the breakfast isn't too versitile, not too many options
The hotel is very close to all the main attractions on Sultanahmet. The staff is very polite and will help however they can. The place felt very safe as did they neighbourhood.

HungaryThere was only one thing missing from the room, there was no glass suitable for drinking.
A very friendly,family atmosphere hotel with an excellent location in a very cozy street, 5 minits walk from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. There are many restaurants, cafes and supermarkets in the next street, about 2-3 minutes walk away. We stayed in a double room with balcony with wonderful view for the Sea of Marmara, from where we witnessed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The hotel staff were very kind and helpful, they helped us in everything. It was a special positive for us,that on a table next to the reception, everything needed to make coffee and tea was found. So everyone can make themselves free tea and coffee in the morning. Hand washing, shampoo and shower gel are also available in the bathroom. We were completely satisfied with the Tulip House, we recommend it to everyone who visits to Istanbul.
