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.).

LithuaniaFor us it was not a problem at all, but for elderly visitors it could matter that this hotel has no lift/elevator. In case your room windows are facing the street then tram bell ring could be heard quite loudly during late evening or early morning, windows are not soundproofed. On the other hand loud muezzin call to prayer from Hagia Sophia will wake you up in the early morning either way - that is Istanbul :)
Very clean and cozy hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet - Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace can be reached in 3-5 minutes by foot. Bazaars and Galata could be reached by foot in 15-20 minutes, otherwise there is also tram stop nearby for reaching other parts of Istanbul. You can find plenty of places to dine in the streets nearby. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, breakfast is on the rooftop terrace. And special thanks for receptionist who helped us by contacting the driver who came to pick us to airport! :)

SpainIts a budget hotel but expected a little more for the price, needs a little upgrading; also noisy in the rooms at the front with the trams, traffic and also 04.30 every night/early morning the call for prayer which woke us up with a bump but whilst in Istanbul we learnt to embrace that…. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as steep steps to rooms and no lifts
Location was perfect! Very close to the “must sees” in Istanbul and also the day/nightlife of bars and restaurants; couldn’t be in a better location; staff very friendly and accommodating who each day gave us water to take to the room, room was clean and adequate for sleeping and showering and out seeing the city

United StatesThere's a restaurant, also owed by the hotel next door, at night you can still smell some of the food. Even if you close the windows. We got a room in the back with a window towards the wall. There is no elevator, they will bring up your luggage though.
The pluses location, restaurant, comfy beds, a/c strong, and clean facilities, bathroom clean. close to all transport and attractions. Definately a place to stay if that's your concern. The staff was so nice and helpful though

Australianothing. service was excellent. location was the best. near all attractions and countless food and shopping choices. preferred staying here than near taksim.
From the time of our arrival, we had a great time in the hotel. Meheran was kind and accommodating to our needs and explained patiently about attractions in the area. the room was spacious for 2 for Istanbul standards. Very happy with the cleanliness and daily .housekeeping. Breakfast was provided each day in the upstairs terrace with ease for smokers. I was not aware of the hotel location when booking so I was pleasantly surprised we were able to walk only a few minutes to Aya Sofia, Topkapi palace and Gulhane park to enjoy spring tulips everyday. we are also able to walk to Sirkeci and Emininonu and we are not used to walking nor are very active at all. Tram stops merely metres outside the hotel and we had no issues getting to Taksim or Kadikoy on the Asian side very quickly taking the Marmaray near the hotel. good experience and highly recommend for couples. Although please note usually hotels in Istanbul don't have lifts or elevators.

United KingdomThe staff were not very friendly, just responded to what we asked in a few words. Nothing more or less. We requested for 30 mins late check out considering we checked in late and but was straight away declined our request. Beds were not clean. There were coffee spilled spots on bed spreads. We just stayed for a night, so didn't really bother complaining
Nice cosy rooms, not small or not big. Just enough space for a couple who has planned to mostly go around for the day and use the room just to crash for the night

United KingdomPlease be mindful you need to walk with your luggage to the hotel as taxi cannot come to the hotels. However, one can use trams. Was a nightmare for us as we had lots of luggage. Plus, there is no lift in the hotel if you are provided upstairs room.
The location is perfect with all attractions nearby. All restaurants are at walking distance. Good breakfast with plenty of options.

The location is near to main attractions like hagia sofia, blue mosque, Gulhane park etc. breakfast was good, although could be better i.e. may add-on a bit more varieties for kids. Love the interior decorations too. The paintings, and tiles on the wall. Very unique and pretty. Overall, a very good hotel with friendly staffs. We had a pleasant stay. Recommended 👍🏻
