How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We were only staying two nights so took the cheap basement room. The aircon was cold and even after adjustment still cold. So at night we had to continually turn on and off as room gets stuffy. Shower rose is slightly broken and can be a bit hard. Very small room. But for the price I would stay there again.
Breakfast was amazing. Staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly. Location was great. Value for money fantastic.

The only small downside was the bed – it could be a bit more comfortable, and the double bed was a bit small (130x190). But overall, a great stay and we’d happily come back!
We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect – right in the heart of the city, close to everything. The place was super clean, and the hosts provided us with lots of helpful information about what to see and do. The breakfast was also a highlight – big, self-service, and very good. Definitely recommend!

Hotel in a very nice neighborhood walking distance to historic Sultanahmet, view of the Bosphore at breakfast on its terrace, the plus is the friendliness of the host, we mentioned to him our shower head had given up and he had it fixed right that day, it was a breeze booking and staying there, on our request we had a safe shuttle at our departure to the airport. Recommended!

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is in the old center, near the Blue Mosque, markets, 10 minutes from the public transport. The staff is very kind, telling you what you can visit in Istanbul. The breakfast is varied. The quadruple rooms are a little bit small. But the bathroom is big enough and clean.

Location in narrow back street very difficult to access by car both on arrival and on departure. Even GPS of limited use due to one way streets in the area. No lift in main building and strange floor/room numbering in annex with lift.
Staff very helpful. Lovely breakfast - roof top also available but surrounded by netting so photography awkward. Very handy location to main tourist attractions.

All good
Right near the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and a walk to The Grand Bazaar. The hotel staff are lovely and very welcoming, especially Ramazan who works on reception. I arrived very early and they let me eat breakfast with the staff and the manager checked me in early to an upgraded room. The breakfast was plentiful and you can have it on the rooftop enjoying the sea or Mosque views, or in the breakfast room. It was also great to come back to a quiet area after a day of being in the summer tourist crowds, and to go for a walk along the water front.
