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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesNothing about this place specifically but Istanbul is not very stroller friendly in general.
All the guys at the front desk were very nice and always helped bring the stroller up and down the stairs. The 2 bedroom family suite we stayed in was exactly what we needed. The view from the terrace was amazing. The location was near perfect... Within 10-15 minutes from every major attraction and within 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque.

United StatesOffice staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I couldn't complete my review without mentioning Makbolay the cheff, wonderful and smiling face on any request from customers. Recommend and guided us to take big bus tour and bosphorus boat trip. Both were great did some shopping in Taksim and bought leather caps and jacket close to the boat stop on Asian side. Getting off the boat and making left passing the police post, there are shops on lower level you will enjoy the hospitality. We were so busy that forgot to take pictures. Sorry 😞

United KingdomIt was a little stuffy in the property, but quickly rectified in our room by using the AC
The staff were excellent, providing helpful information and there was always someone sat at reception. The hotel was great value, with a good breakfast included with a lovely rooftop terrace, comfortable rooms and daily housekeeping. The hotel even gave us a parting gift to remember our stay, and made my friend’s birthday very special by gifting her a birthday cake on the day. The service was exceptional. The location is also perfect, so close to attractions and transport and great traditional restaurants nearby!

GermanyLots of space in the rooms and a great location. Staff was helpful and offered lots of help, for example when it was raining here the lobbyist didn't hesitate to give us their umbrella. Didn't like how they were smoking every time we walked out though. Still great place!!

Albinas Hotel is smack in the middle of the Old City where various touristic sites are within 15-20+ minutes walking distance. So location was amazing for exploring and there are many nice restaurants within 1-20 min walking distance. The 2-bedroom interconnecting room was perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids), beds were comfortable, showers had good pressure and hot water, rooms had heating/aircon/fan depending on your mood, breakfast was decent with many cold mezze & baked goods. There were 3 hot dishes, including eggs, which was all I needed anyway. Coffee and tea were served, so perfect for us as we ate so much the rest of the day anyway so didnt need a heavy breakfast. Kids were happy, so we were happy. The staff are very kind and helpful. We would definitely stay at Albinas again on our next trip to Istanbul!

Was close to Hagia Sophia and other popular sites about 2 blocks, breakfast was delicious, the staff were always very kind! Stayed with my grandmother, and we both loved it, added bonus was the elevator. Rooms aren’t huge, but everything is fitted very well, and bathroom is spacious. Will definitely rebook and recommend! Restaurants near by are also delicious, our favorite was the 3 Partners Restaurant.
