Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomAll three hotels we stayed in had clutter on the stairs which in my view would be a hindrance in the event of an emergency. This one had the fewest obstructions.
Everything was very clean and the breakfast buffet was exceptional with a great selection of eggs, sausage, cakes, fruit and vegetables. I especially enjoyed the spinach and ratatouille whilst savouring a wonderful view from the 6th floor breakfast room over the 'Blue Mosque' and the Sea of Marmora with Hagia Sofia in the distance. The staff had a lovely old fashioned courtesy and a sense of humour; they were very helpful. The hotel could not be better placed for seeing the major sights.

HungaryIt is not a bad point but a just caution. While it is nearby many huge mosque, you will hear "adan" in loud volume in early morning. You should bring your earplug for your comfort sleep.
Location is great, just in front of the blue mosque and easy access from the Sultanahumet tram stop. Breakfast with the beautiful scenary was also superb point of this hotel. You can see the blue mosque and the sea from the rooftop. We love the furniture, which is turkish. I cannot imagine any other hotels have better cost-satisfication ratio!

Having a Very kids friendly staff worked out really well for us. From the front staff Mesut and Farhat to the breakfast staff were all extremely friendly. Gave good advice and made all pre paid arrangements for private taxi to visit major landmarks. Location is exceptional with Blue Mosque, Hage Sophia, Topkapi palace all within walking distance. Overall great experience.

RomaniaWifi quality is bad. somehow also the wifi line it self (seems to be an infrastructure problem in the entire area as i understood from staff). Note that cars cannot park in front of the hotel, so if you get a taxi or transfer from the hotel, it will drop you 2 building next to the hotel. its not annoying once you know it (Google maps still thinks there is a street in front of the hotel).
Top Quality/Location/Price ratio in my opinion. The price is very fair and you get a local experience of people, place, and breakfast food in a very "tourist attraction" area. again all with quality and a very fair price. Breakfast food and roof top view is amazing. Location is amazing and Walking distance to the entire old city istanbul, as well as to marmary line and tram. Staff is very helpful and cooperative.

United States of AmericaThere was not anything to complain about. The rooms were not huge but the time we spent there was cleanup and sleeping. Small price to pay for the tremendous central location.
The breakfast was wonderful on a top floor with a view of boat traffic on the Bosporus. The food selection was near unlimited and staff very friendly. The kitchen staff also serves the steer-side cafe. The front desk staff very helpful with helping to make our visit to Istanbul a great experience. The staff helped get our laundry cleaned before we left for Greece. Highly recommended.
