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 Arab EmiratesI rate this palace ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Bosphorus Palace Hotel was truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel itself is elegant and beautiful, with breathtaking views of the Bosphorus Sea that make every moment unforgettable. But what truly set this experience apart was the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay. As a family traveling with children, I was especially touched by how warmly they treated my kids. They were patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made the children feel safe, welcome, and loved. This thoughtful care turned our stay into a stress-free and joyful experience for the whole family. I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Taner and Ms. Nuray for their outstanding support and personal attention. Their professionalism, warmth, and kindness left a lasting impression on us, and we are deeply grateful for the way they made our stay so memorable. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Bosphorus Palace Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. It is not only a beautiful place to stay, with its stunning Bosphorus sea view, but also a hotel where guests are treated like family.

United KingdomA boutique hotel, located on the banks of the beautiful Bosphorous. The hotel is very pretty, spotlessly clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. To get to the main sights you need to take a 20 minutes taxi ride, followed by a 20 minute ferry, so it is not the most convenient for sightseeing. That said, it is lovely to get out of the hustle and bustle and return at the end of the day to this haven of peace. I highly recommend you spend some time visiting this ‘Asian’ side of the river, which is more authentic and relaxed than the European side.

TurkeyWe had an unforgettable stay at Bosphorus Palace Hotel. The view, the attentive staff, the location, and the aesthetic details throughout the hotel made the experience truly special. The design of the rooms, the high ceilings, and the elegant furniture were simply beautiful. The staff was always helpful and genuinely friendly. Thanks to the hotel’s location right on the Bosphorus, we were able to explore the city by ferry every day, it was a unique and delightful experience. Waking up to a view of the Bosphorus and enjoying breakfast by the water every morning was an absolute highlight.

We had travelled around turkey for 3 weeks already and had stayed at many hotels. This breakfast is one of the top rated ones. The hotel too was one of our favourite.

GermanyMost amazing stay in Istanbul so far! From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcome and well taken care of. We especially appreciated the warm hospitality, the beautiful atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and dinner, and the exceptional service. The bosphorus view was incredible. Also the the localization was perfect. It only takes 10 min to the European side/ Nisantasi with the cab and it is totally calm with an amazing bosphorus view, which ist not that crowded. Kusguncuk (which is like a small holiday village with historic building and little tiny bakery‘s and shops) is just a view minutes away. A special thanks to the friendly reception staff, the attentive waiters, and the housekeeping team for making our stay unforgettable. We look forward to coming back soon!i

MontenegroOur stay at Bosphorus Palace Hotel left us with only the best impressions! This hotel is a true gem on the shores of the Bosphorus. The service is top-notch – the staff is attentive, polite, and always ready to help. The rooms are spotless, beautifully designed, and feature an elegant interior that reflects the atmosphere of historic luxury. But the highlight is the incredible view of the Bosphorus, making every morning and evening truly magical.

Wonderful Stay at Bosphorus Palace Hotel We had a fantastic four-night stay, enjoying different rooms with breathtaking Bosphorus views. The front desk staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making our experience even better. The only drawback was the lack of an elevator, but the hotel’s charm and outstanding service made up for it. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique stay with stunning views and great hospitality!
