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.).

MalaysiaTraveling with our young kids, we stayed 3 nights in 2 rooms, one double room and one family room and were pleasantly surprised by how nice and rewarding our stay at the White House Hotel was. Exceptional cleanliness, inside and outside. Both our rooms were immaculate, the bathrooms especially were cleaner than many 5 star hotels we have stayed in. The breakfast was fantastic, great assortment of fresh cheese and olives, freshly baked bread, great coffee. The entire staff, from the GM to the cleaning people were extremely friendly and welcoming, offering great advice for restaurants, transportation. This small jewel of boutique hotel has a great location within easy walking distance to all major attractions and great restaurants in Sultanahmet. Although the street front is quite lively during daytime, at night we had no distractions whatsoever and rested very well. As a bonus, it has a great view to Hagia Sophia from the breakfast terrace.

Excellent location, close to tram and main attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Owner Mr Harun is always responsive and has an excellent team, including Enes and Kemal who always go out of their way to offer suggestions and advice. The breakfast is delicious. The roof terrace offers great views and we appreciate that it is always open for guests to have a drink or just relax.

Nice Boutique Hotel in the center of Sultanahmet. Presents a great overall value for a location that becomes walkable for the major sites of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Galata Bridge. Rooms are comfortable and functional and the breakfast included was very good. Staff was perfect - all helpful and very attentive and can assist with booking tours, cars, or anything you need during your stay.

GermanyWe were very happy to stay in this hotel and we got the best room at the 4th floor, so we hope to stay there again next time!
This boutique hotel is only one block away from Aya Sophia and busy tourist streets, so it is very easy to get around by foot or by tram. Personnel is very friendly and helpful, providing personal treatment to all guests- and we were several times delighted by nice small gifts of souvenirs and delicacies. Breakfast takes place on the top of the hotel, with a great view to Aya Sophia and Bosphorus.

United StatesLoved our stay at White House Hotel Istanbul!! The staff is so attentive and helpful… most especially Kemal, Enes and Malik. They were full of information to guide us through our travels. They also warned us of where to stay away from. Our room was decorated for us when we arrived and had glasses of orange juice. The bed was comfortable, bathroom is very nice! The rooftop breakfast area was nice and cozy and was heated. They have a nice Turkish spread! The owner just knocked on our door and brought us a beautiful display of beautiful strawberries and a little cake! Amazing! The location was fantastic… so much to see!! Internet is perfect. We recommend this hotel highly and will definitely stay here again! Update: We were chatting and I mentioned that I would enjoy bananas at breakfast and he had this plate of bananas brought over to me the next morning! Talk about excellent customer service 🥰

IrelandHonestly, there was very little to dislike about this stay. The only thing I can think or is perhaps a little more variety in the breakfast would have been nice, but it's a good basic breakfast.
The hotel was amazingly situated and the staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive. We were even allowed to have a free late check out as our flight was later in the day upon our departure, which made a huge difference for us. The hotel staff also recommended amazing places to eat, rang taxis for us when we needed to get somewhere, and overall treated us with an incredible amount of carefulness.
