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.).

Location. Location. Location. 1 minute walking distance to tram station, 5 minutes walk to Haga Sofia and Blue Mosque, 10 minutes walk to grand bazar. Breakfast was excellent. Mustufa was a great help. Gave us good guidance on getting around Istanbul and using the trams. Airport transfer was very well arranged. They have a restaurant next door with great Turkish food. Will definitely stay here again!

United KingdomI booked two rooms, both were not cleaned throughout my stay even though i requested for them to be cleaned and only the bed was made everytime. Wifi was really bad especially in the rooms further away :( The bidet was broke in one room and smelt so bad and the bathroom mirror was broken. The other room had someones hair on the door when we had arrived so it wasn't clean from the start. None of the rooms had slippers which was included in the price. The mini fridges just about kept our drinks room temperature. Breakfast wasn't topped up throughout the breakfast period so if you arrived late there was barely any choices to choose from. They also don't have a lift so bare that in mind if you cannot walk up many stairs.
Location of the hotel is very good as it has many tourist attractions in walking distance such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Staff are very friendly and you get a discount at the restaurant right below it which was good and the food is amazing.

United KingdomHardly any humanity around the area and bath screen was broken, room was not airy and noise was coming from next door. Not sound proof at all. Hardly any wifi signals. I’ve never had such a poor experience in any hotel.
Absolutely poor location, property was very out of the way and didn’t worth money. No room service no Lifts.

United KingdomThis hotel is a real gem. Located literally across the road from the famous Yerebatan (Basilica cistern) next to Hagia Sophia you won't get a better location. Rooms are very nice. Breakfast is simply amazing on a lovely terrace. Staff very helpful. Unbelievable value for money! Strongly recommend.

Russiathe location is perfect, very nice and lightly rooms. the staff is extremely friendly, they help with everything and even met us on the next street from the transfer point, helped us with luggage on both ways ( when check-in and check-out). We have booked 2 standard rooms, but the hotel gave us 1 standard room and 1 for 3 people, so we could have more space. the check-in desk is open for 24 hours, the breakfast is also nice and located on the green terrace upstairs. highly recommended to stay here :) A lot of thanks to the Empress Theodora Hotell
