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 KingdomThis shouldn't put you off, but there is a rail track quite close by, but you barely notice it because Istanbul is a very busy, noisy city to start with. The trains seemed to stop at night so sleep was not disturbed. We would stay at this hotel again, it shouldn't put anyone off booking.
This hotel has a lovely roof terrace that does excellent value for money meals. They even have a Happy Hour. The location is very good, not far from the Blue Mosque and other attractions. Breakfast was buffet style mostly Turkish food which is lovely and fresh. The room was spacious and very clean.

AustraliaWe travelled from Australia and got to hotel around 8am.. could not check in until 2pm, even though we asked for earlier check in from time of booking. They said guests had not checked out to clean room even though we sat for 2 hrs in reception and seeing noone check out but they still would nor let us in earlier. Very very tiring and disappointing. Also had to ask for toilet paper cause only 1 half roll available. No lift available for our luggage, very steep stairs.

New ZealandI understand it's out of the control of the hotel but the airport transfer they booked for us returning to the airport was over 30+ minutes in picking us up which could have been disastrous had we not added additional buffer time to our desired departure time. I would recommend they find another company to use in the future.
Front desk staff were helpful in describing local attractions and helping us when we had issues with a 3rd party booking. The breakfast was nice every morning, housekeeping was good and we appreciated the new bottles of water every day.

PanamaYou are at the bottom of the hill...so anything you want to see...I.e. Blue Mosque, Bazaar etc. etc. get ready to hike if ur walking. (Uphill) Spa prices were expensive (IMO) The breakfast wasn't my thing. Too many cold cuts and processed cheese.
I loved that I could wake up every morning and walk along the sea for sunrise or head the opposite direction to everything else. The staff were great and super helpful for anything needed.
