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.).

AustraliaThe rooms are small but you aren’t going to spend time there anyway. Being in the hear of the tourist centre has its set back. Get the tram done to the port where the food is great & half the price & you won’t be bothered by spruikers trying to sell you things.
The position was right in the heart of the old city. Only minutes from the Blue Mosque, Cistern, Topaki Pala w & the Tram. The staff were very friendly & made us feel welcome. The Restaurant on the sixth floor, serves great food & the view is spectacular. Don’t miss the cafe in the Topaki gardens for ambience.

United KingdomThe rims are a little small, but this is not a problem because the location is so fantastic.
Very central location which is ideal for anyone who may have mobility issues because all the major sites are a very close walk. I was pleased to see a lift in the hotel because my mother has mobility problems and we were able to access the restaurants and all of the attractions locally, the staff team were very helpful and friendly and we had a fantastic time at the hotel.

JerseyLocation! In the centre of town. We could see hagia sophia and Blue Mosque from our room. 3 min walk to both of them. Bus tours, right next to it, grand bazaar 10min walk. Comfortable beds. Very helpful and friendly stuff. Decor is a bit outdated, but it can be seen as characteristic to this hotel. There is a restaurant on the top floor (with a nice view) but we didn't eat.

United StatesWe asked for a room with 3 triple beds but got a queen and single. They offered to move us the next day but we chose not to.
Service was excellent, they were very accommodating with arranging rides to and from the airport, giving information about the area, etc. Staff was polite, responsive, and informative. Very central to the main sightseeing locations including grand bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The room and bathroom were very clean, amenities were plentiful. Location is in a very safe area. Nice stores near hotel which are way cheaper than those at grand bazaar.

United StatesSome things did not work, e.g., the streaming TV and HVAC (manually on/off as heat or on/off as AC, controllable from front desk and room’s on/off switch, but not controllable from a set desired temperature at room’s thermostat). Also found services bought through the hotel to be seriously wanting, e.g., airport pickup and private car with driver for self-directed tour.
Liked the location and staff.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, unless you are driving as it is a pedestrian area. It is in the city center, so steps from the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. The grand bazaar and the spice market are also easily reachable by walking. There was even a lovely park or 3 where you can get ice cream, Egyptian corn, pretzels or kebaps. My son also really enjoyed the breakfast in their panoramic restaurant. For the staff and location I would rate it 10/10

ItalySuper excellent location, less than 3 minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. View from the room of Hagia Sophia was super amazing - we took the twin room on the 4th floor. Staff were really friendly and helpful - shoutout to the team for the excellent service! Breakfast provided was a standard Turkish breakfast buffet, but the views from the restaurant was brilliant. Loved the entire experience, highly recommended!
