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 KingdomSome facilities look a bit tired, e.g. bed linen and towels definitely need replacement. However, that was not such a big problem for us.
The hotel is located in the central area of Kars, it's easy to get around by foot. All the staff members are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good enough.

The warm welcome. I have stayed at this hotel before and on both occasions they allowed me to check in early without any issues. It’s easy walking distance to the Main Street and all the import sites like Kars castle. They also help to arrange a taxi to Ani. There are staff who speak English

United KingdomI liked everything. Not a ‘negative’, rather a comment for those considering where to stay in Kars. From what I saw, it is one of the more affordable hotels and good value for money in terms of location, services and stay. Rooms and breakfast are very adequate but obviously not the glitz of a 5-star hotel. Which suited me perfectly. My kettle didn’t work and the team filled it up with hot water downstairs.
Extremely friendly and helpful team at the hotel, from moment I arrived and despite my major language barrier (google translate coming to the rescue). Made me feel welcome and comfortable in an unfamiliar area. The team arranged a tour for me the following day no hassle and looked after my bag and kindly coordinated for the guide to then drop something back at the hotel which I’d left in the tour bus. Teşekkürler!

AustraliaThe wifi was terrible in the room but very good in the lobbyî My room was freezing
I would rate the staff 10/10 - they were extremely helpful, waited for me for check in which was about 10.30pm, helped organise me on to buses and much more. But apart from the staff, the breakfast was good and the room facilities were adequate. Despite the couple of drawbacks, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you everyone at the hotel.

United States of AmericaThe second floor hallway where my room was did smell strongly of cigarette smoke. I know the property can't control this, as most Turkish people smoke a lot. The staff really fixed this issue well, so thanks to them! They had opened my windows for me to air out the room in advance, so my room smelled fine and had fresh air. The other floors seemed a bit better, so maybe try a higher floor and ask for the windows to be opened in advance if you're smoke sensitive. Worked really well for me!
Staff were super welcoming, friendly, and communicative. They accomodated a last-minute booking for a late-night (23:00) check in from the Dogu Express train from Ankara. Most of all, the receptionist was really patient with me since I do not speak Turkish. He spoke English with me for most of what I needed, like payment, finding my room, and getting to the ATM and the bus station. Great location ~13 minute walk from the train station and bus station. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries, and shops around for what you need. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated the Western style shower with good water pressure. There was a simple, fresh, filling breakfast in the morning. Overall, really good value.

United KingdomThe breakfast was pretty disappointing. There were plates with a very limited array of salad items, covered in cling film, some boiled eggs and some mediocre olives. That was it. I ate the boiled eggs and forced down a few olives, but didn't enjoy them. The towels in the bathroom were clearly well used and were pretty dry and scratchy and there were a couple of other minor dilapidations that wouldn't have been acceptable at the Ritz, but at a small hotel in a remote town, really can't be complained about too much.
I only stayed for 1 night, arriving late and leaving early, so this is a limited review. It was a perfectly satisfactory hotel, decent value, clean and comfortable. If I'd visited a few years ago, I'd probably have gone further and described it as a good hotel; now it is starting to look a bit 'tired', but nothing that would stop me recommending it.

NetherlandsIt's a really nice hotel at a perfect location! Great value for money. I'm sorry I had to leave early, because of Turkish elections on Saturday, I had to leave on Friday. I would note a special recommendation for Gökmen from Otopark Taksi. He took me to see Ani and he also brought me to Batumi! He's a very good and safe driver which was really nice especially for the drive through the mountains to Batumi!
