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.).

United KingdomThe windows are not soundproofed and you could hear the tram anytime it passed in front of the hotel so it would wake us early in the morning. It’s close to Hagia Sophia so the bells were also waking us. We had one room that could not sleep in one night at 2am because some people were on a balcony smoking and making noise just under their room. We were a big group, 9 rooms, and in one of the nights we celebrated 2 birthdays with some champagne and some turkish delight, we asked to go in the breakfast area, but it was not allowed, so ok we went in one of our big rooms. We didn’t have any music, we were only talking and laughing and at not even 10PM (at 10:30PM we were all in our rooms anyway to sleep) someone from the stuff told us at first they had 6 complaints about our noise, which it was sure a lie because at the end of his speech they were only 3 complaints, probably they were none considering how many rooms we had booked in the hotel and that it is a small hotel. And their attitude about this was not at all nice/welcoming.
The location was great, the rooms were clean, the breakfast was tasty.

SlovakiaI would recommed breakfast personal to check on juices sometimes, orange juice was soured and with bad smell. In the room there was hole behind the air condition and a lot of dust and dirt was visible but not a big deal. Maybe fixing the hole with something would be great. Also on the shower floor there were black spots maybe from the shower gels so this seemed dirty.
It was my second time in this hotel and I would come back for the 3rd time with pleasure. Its ubicated 5mins walking to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, also like 10mins walking to Bosphorus. Nice personal as always. We felt really good there.

United KingdomNothing really. We just arrived on a rainy day but the terrace is covered so you can also sit and relax there. Maybe the stairs not good for people who have bigger luggages, but staff are willing to help.
Central Location. Nice staff. Arranged our transport promptly although may reply a bit slow online. The terrace is lovely. Breakfast is okay. There is free wifi but you may need to connect and reconnect at times. Bed and pillows are comfortable. We got an upgrade room and also the receptionist surprised us by putting me and my friend's room adjacent to one another. Also when we asked; he called the airport driver to make sure that our friend was able to get to her booked airport pick up.

great location in the heart of the old part of the city, short walk to many attractions and tram station just outside the hotel. Great breakfast, lots of choice, reception very helpful and speak English. Value for money.
