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.).

The a/c was not strong enough. It was difficult to find a hotel, because it’s inside small streets.
The hotel is good and modern, the staff are nice and helpful. We had room upgrade for free. The room is big and clean. The location is perfect, in 2 minutes can reach bus and tram stop, metro and ferry station. All touristic places beside the hotel.

No cafes or room service, so people don’t really’hang out’ in the hotel area.
Terrific location 5 mins from karakoy tram. Made it easy to travel around istanbul, and many attractions within 5-15 mins walking distance from the hotel.

I think there was a break down in communication between I thought the rooms had 2 separate beds that could be pushed together or separated to accommodate our party. But each room had 1 bed.
It’s a nice property close to food and some cool places to see.

Since the hotel is in the middle of a building block, we had no view from the room. The windows were facing a wall. Very little natural lighting, so we had to use the lamps most of the day. We requested a child cot and were given an old, crumbling cot with no mattress. We couldn’t use it. But the biggest disappointment for us was breakfast. The selection of food was pretty standard, but it looked so stale and tasted weird. We stayed 5 days and nothing changed. Same food, same horrible taste every day. I think it was the worst breakfast I ever had in a hotel. Such a shame given the breakfast area itself is amazing.
Very nice central location close to the tram station. One can also have a nice walk along the Galataport waterfront or to the Galata tower. No street noise. It was very quiet during the nights. The hotel is situated in a way that it’s surrounded by other buildings which shield it from the noise. Our room was clean. Amazing view from the dining area. Polite and friendly staff willing to help.

Nothing at all but the 4:20 am call to pray was a bit of a shock the first time you hear it
As our first time in Istanbul, we had no idea of what to expect. When we arrived at our hotel we were a bit concerned because of the alley we had to walk through. We soon found that the most amazing gem of a hotel. Rasul greeted us with a warm smile and cold water. Our room was large and clean with ample room for three adults. Breakfast on the rooftop each morning was excellent ;with much variety. The location is surrounded by many shops and restaurants. We found out on our last day that there is a second terrace which gives you a perfect spot for pictures of the water. Akin and his staff are amazing polite and courteous
