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 EmiratesFacilities are little bit outdated.
The location is excellent, particularly if you want to explore the charm of the old city with its historic sites and vibrant atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making the stay comfortable and pleasant. Services were delivered at a good standard, and the overall experience was enhanced by the quality of the food, which was both tasty and well presented.

We had the best experience at Hotel Amira! They graciously accommodated us when we needed to rest earlier than our scheduled check-in and even upgraded our room — such a thoughtful gesture. The breakfast was superb, and it was my first time enjoying a buffet that featured a fresh honeycomb — absolutely delightful! The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Sultanahmet area, with iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and Basilica Cistern all within walking distance. The rooftop terrace, overlooking the stunning Marmara Sea, was my absolute favorite spot — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Special thanks to the night front desk staff, Mr. Oz (apologies if I’m not spelling that correctly), for his kind assistance, and to the management team for their impeccable hospitality and outstanding service. You truly made our stay memorable.

New ZealandThere are so many wonderful memories we had while staying at Hotel Amira. First, the teams e.g. Reception team - super helpful with directions, recommending great food places and providing ice on the hot days. Our Breakfast team - including the awesome lady who made our morning Gozleme's every morning, were fabulous in every way! The dinner team up on the rooftop were also great, the views up there were incredible. The location is 10/10! Amira is in the Old City and central to all the hot spots e.g. Sophia Hagia, Blue Mosque, Bascilia Cistern and Granbd Bizaare - as well as many many other great places and eateries. Our room was huge, the bed was amazing, overall the stay was incredible!
