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.).

United StatesWish there was a little more storage area ( like under the bed ) or somewhere.
The staff were very helpful, cheerful & were simply amazing. The location is absolutely the best on a quiet street, but so close to all the major sights. Lots of restaurants too close by- made it so easy to do a lot in Istanbul.

FranceThere is a lot of renovation going on around the hotel, in the house right next, the wall in the backyard. This is causing noise as of 8 in the morning. But this should be temporary. We found the bathroom a bit cramped and strangely planned.
We really like the way the house was renovated. The room was spacious and super clean. Staff is very nice, friendly and super helpful. The garden in the back is a small cocoon for breakfast time or to enjoy Turkish tea with the home made cookies offered every afternoon from 16:00. Property is in walking distance from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the tram stop that can take you to further parts of the city.

GermanyNear the hotel there are many constructions, so they make a noise (but luckly after 9 am) and it's not pleasent to go on the dark street (app. 50-100 m) in the night.
A very nice hotel located in Old City near all attaractions. A room was small, but very comfortable, with a cozy bed. In this small hotel there is an elevator, so it's comfortable to go up with a luggage. A breakfast is very tasty with a big choice of food.

IndiaThe only thing I would comment on is the bathroom - it could have been more private. It has a glass cubicle instead of a door - for privacy, it needs doors. The bathroom itself is very nice, but needs DOORS!
A beautiful property, very well maintained, excellent breakfast and even has a piece of Ottoman History (the wall). Lovely back garden, but it was a bit cold and rainy for us to enjoy it. We were there for only one night. We had the family room, and it was not cramped. Lovely toiletries as well. Very friendly front desk staff. And so close to the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

AustraliaBack Bedroom was very light at night. The blinds didn't block out much light. But fine wearing a mask as I like my bedroom very dark. Very quiet.
The personal touch by the staff who made you feel very welcome. They were happy to help out settling you in with giving directions, booking taxis more personally than a large hotel. The courtyard was lovely. Hot showers

AustraliaNothing. It is spectacular
Everything. Especially the staff. They went out of their way to be the best hosts. The rooms were immaculate. The breakfast was outstanding. Enough to make me want to jump up and down with food delight. I had an upset tummy and they came to my room with the best potion to make it better. I felt like I had my family with me. It was a wow and a memory I won’t forgot.

United StatesThe windows were not double glazed so any noise from the street came right into the room. It was a pretty quiet neighborhood most of the time though, so it wasn’t really a problem.
It was a charming little place and all the staff were very welcoming and gracious. The room was very clean, functional and comfortable. I loved the view of the sea and the neighborhood from my room.

United KingdomWe had the room on the ground floor which had a window overlooking a corridor so you didn’t get any natural light.
Lovely, clean property in a great location for many of the historical sites in Istanbul. They have one parking space outside the property but make sure to message in advance to secure it as unfortunately it was being used when we came and it’s quite challenging to find parking in Istanbul!
