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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaFriendly and accommodating host. We felt badly we were late getting to the apartment on our arrival in Istanbul and Yusuf had to wait a long time from our original stated arrival time. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped for food preparation. Beautiful tiled bathroom. Lots of room in sitting room to be comfortable. Location close to the sites- a reasonable price. This is not a comment on this specific apartment but know that transportation to any apartment should be planned ahead and researched so as to understand how to arrive there from the airport. It is a long way to the old city from the airport. We did not do that and thankfully someone assisted us upon arriving. There is Uber in Istanbul but we had a bad experience with it upon leaving the apartment for the bus station. When you book through your Uber app, the drivers that come are not Uber. They are taxis and ask for cash and you must negotiate a price. Our experience with Uber has been that you pay by card on the app before the driver arrives. If you do not speak Turkish, you are at a disadvantage as our experience was that is not how it works in Istanbul.

RussiaUnfortunately, Yusuf didn't warn that payment can only be made in cash, although the property’s page states that payment could be withdrawn from the linked card automatically before arrival. For this reason, we had to resolve this issue for three days, including attempts via portable ATM (unsuccessfully). Yusuf himself did not come, but he sent his relatives, who do not speak English (that was a problem also). As a result, we had to pay in TRY according to the local exchange rate (we lost a little money on this difference). So take cash with you in EUR or USD in advance. Also, the view from the window was slightly depressing (destroyed house opposite). Probably, for guests with limited mobility, the stairs will be a disadvantage (for me this was not a big problem).
Accommodation is very good! The host Yusuf was very polite, he was always in touch and ready to help. I would like to note the cleanliness of the accommodation. Every time I travel, I really appreciate it when I can walk around the rooms barefoot. Good shower, no leaks, stable hot water. The kitchen had everything you needed. Very nice bed, I slept very comfortably. Strong Wi-Fi connection.

GermanyI did not realize that our apartment was on the 4th floor. With the luggage, it was quite hard. It would also be good to get small information about how to reach the apartment from the two main airports. A short note like that is so helpful for each guest. The public transport we took on the first day was very complicated.
The apartment itself was very clean and modern. The location is also quite close to the attractions though it's not the best. Overall, I cannot complain too much for this price in Istanbul

RomaniaThere is nothing to dislike
The accomodation cosy, very nice, spatious and very clean with everything you need. Is so close from the bazar and the attractions, and also near the sea. The area is a cheap one with good restaurants where you can eat all types of food, traditionals and also internationals. The host, Yusuf is the best. He help us with everything we need, is a nice person and makes you feel welcome. He was interested if everything was fine and if we needed anything. I really recomanded this accomodation. Thank you for everything, if we come back to Istanbul, we will choose the same accomodation.

RomaniaThe bed & sofa were too hard for us, but this depends on one's taste I guess. An espresso machine would be nice in the future.
The apartments (we booked 2 apartments as we were 2 couples) look exactly like in the photos on Booking, they have all the needed facilities. The furniture is new and everything is very clean. Yusuf, the host, is very nice and welcoming. The location is maybe not in the nicest of neighborhoods, but it seemed safe enough and it's close to the main attractions within walking distance.

GeorgiaVisiting Sare House is a must, no better place to start learning historical Istanbul from. Let's be honest, it is not about shiny neighborhood with manicured lawns but about the true, core old city. The bed made me sleep +2 hours to my average. Special notice about the shower: you never expect it to be so steady in the old house, I can't imagine what it cost you. Yusuf, the family, the apartment itself - world class hospitality with not a single bad word to say. Thank you!
