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 KingdomThe only downside was an 8am start for breakfast time made getting to some pre-booked trips a little tight. However the staff did what they could to ensure it was quick.
Really good location in the old town, nice modern rooms and lovely extras - snacks, great breakfast etc. A cut above others at a similar price point.

Chic room. Lovely carpet. Really recommend the suite with private balcony so private. The breakfast was amazing and we had refills of whatever we wanted. The Turkish coffee was also great. Not burnt tasting. Smooth and dark.

AustraliaThis is the most beautiful little spot in Istanbul! We absolutely loved our stay here, our room was the perfect size for the 2 of us plus we got a little terrace area! It is was a short walk to all tourist attractions but was nice and quiet in this little pocket for night time/sleeping. Great staff who couldn’t do enough for us - would recommend to anyone coming to Istanbul to stay here!

a really lovely experience. The location was excellent – very convenient and close to local businesses, which made it easy to get around and explore the area. The atmosphere was welcoming, and everything about my stay felt comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, it was a very nice stay and I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

United StatesBecause of the age of buliding, the layout is a bit complicated with lots of stairwwaays and doors.
The staff was extremely friendly. The hotel is on the smaller size, but the rooms are super new and amazing. The breakfast is probably the highlight, in addition to the location. It is very quiet and clean. Perfect spot to explore Istanbul!

United StatesReally enjoyed our stay at the Blu Macel in Istanbul. It's a cute little boutique hotel tucked away on a side street near the SultanAhmet and Hagia Sophia mosques. It's about a 10 minute walk from the SultanAhmet tram station. The room was tastefully decorated, spacious, and air-conditioned. Shower pressure was great (very important after a day spent sightseeing!). We looked forward to the generous and delicious breakfast every morning and the treats they served in the afternoon. The staff were all very hospitable and kind. From Azer (the manager) to Jamal (the lovely young man who took care of us at breakfast), Gul and Rangel (who kept our rooms pristine and brought us the delectable afternoon treats), and Tunjay (the night manager who carried our heavy bags to our rooms since there is no elevator), everyone went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one. Azer was even kind enough to order an extra vehicle to lug away our bags to the airport (we went a little exuberant with all the shopping) at no extra charge after we checked out. We look forward to staying with them again when we're back in Istanbul.
