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.).

Verified reviewI had a pleasant stay at Elysion Hotel. The location is excellent, close to public transportation. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly. A special thanks to Mr. Sahin very welcoming and kind, he made the experience even better.

Verified reviewThe size of my room was not huge, but was very adequate, not a tiny room like some European hotels have. Also, for a budget hotel, I thought the upper floors may need to use stairs; but I was pleasantly surprised they have elevator access. The bathroom seemed very clean. Finally, the desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. He walked me to my room to make sure it was up to my expectations. He also provided a secure room for my luggage storage the afternoon after I had checked out.
It seemed like the hot water was more like lukewarm. But I took a very short shower, so maybe I didn't give it long enough to warm up.

Verified reviewArrived at the hotel at 6.30am after a 2 hour walk from the Esenler bus station. The gentleman on duty gave me a cup of coffee and I was given a room at 7.00am. The nice curtain, carpet and warm feeling in the room was much appreciated. A small glass fridge was cold inside and was used to keep water and other items cold. That was great. The TV worked well, unlike the snowy TV's in other Turkish hotels. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very nice to deal with. Hotel was close to the money exchange outlets and the bus terminal for the airport.
Nothing

Verified reviewWe received very warm welcome at the reception and the service was friendly and efficient throughout the stay. The location was very convenient for us for personal reasons, but in fact the place is very close to the main communication lines of Istanbul (tram, metro) and both Sultanahmet and even Balat are within a walking distance. Breakfast is nominally since 8am, but we managed to get it a bit earlier upon request. There are many place to go out to eat in the vicinity.
The only problem, but this was NOT the fault of the hotel, was extremely loud music outside until 1am, perhaps from a club or so (it was on Friday night). Perhaps asking for a room not facing the street would not be a bad idea.

Verified reviewExcellent location close to metro/tram/bus. Very good staff. Clean and large rooms. No window in the family room that we initially booked. When I claimed they moved us immmediately to 2 other rooms. Breakfast is simple but adequate.
Beds could be more confortable.

Verified review- the staffs were very nice and helpful; they helped us loads our huge baggages - they upgraded our room; it is large and super clean so we were very impressed - the breakfast has a variety of selections that change slightly everyday - the location is in a calm area but still central (20’ to sultanahmet square, or near the tram to everywhere around the city)
I wish the hotel could have more fruits in the breakfast
