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 reviewThe only positive aspect of this hotel was its location. It is situated in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul, within walking distance to many popular tourist attractions and has excellent transport links nearby, including trains, trams, and buses.
Unfortunately, the hotel itself was disappointing. Although the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the cleanliness of the rooms was far below expectations. Housekeeping only replaced the towels and made the bed but did not properly clean the room or bathroom, nor were the sheets or toilet slippers changed during our stay. As a result of bed sheets not being changed, we often felt itchy throughout the night, making it extremely difficult to sleep and adding to the overall sense of discomfort and lack of hygiene. The shower drain was also clogged, causing water to pool almost immediately during showers, which was very unpleasant. Another major issue was the room temperature. Despite advertising air conditioning, the AC could not be set to cooling mode. When I raised this with reception, they informed me that cooling is only available during the summer months, not spring, and suggested opening the window at night. However, doing so led to mosquitoes and insects entering the room, which made it even harder to rest. The breakfast included with the stay was very basic, offering minimal choices, and much of the food was cold and did not seem fresh. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable or clean stay. You are essentially only paying for the convenience of a great location — not for comfort, cleanliness, or quality.

Verified reviewIt was nice to stay in a wooden ottoman home. .the owner was a nice person very welcoming 🙏. I stayed in the Sea View room, which was small, and the toilet was also small but clean. A few tiles in the shower are broken. need to be rectified. The breakfast was limited.The lift was too small and could occupy one or 2 people. Otherwise, the area is safe.
Lif was too small

Verified reviewThe owner and staff are very kind and helpful. The location is safe. Small room and toilet but were clean. A few pieces of tiles on the shower area were broken and needed to be rectified. Then it will look nice. Breakfast limted if you delay some items you can't get it. I asked if they can do refilled, and a lady replied, it was finished. It's ok for what you paid.
The lift was too small for occupied one on 2 people
