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 KingdomBreakfast was included however it was Ramadan so we didn’t have the breakfast. It would’ve been nice if they gave us the breakfast for sehri/sohoor time so we could have had it before sunrise to keep our fast. But it was not possible, they could not arrange this.
This was my second time staying at this lovely hotel. Hotel was very nice and in a really good location. It is about 3-5 min walk to the Blue Mosque. Brother Abdul Rahim is the manager, who is a lovely person and very helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomExcellent location, close to blue mosque 10 mins walk. Tram station 10 mins walk and very easy to use. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a room for 4, what I would say is the mattress was very thin and you could feel the springs, we had a child sleeping on it but he said he wasn’t comfortable.

FranceNothing major to report as ""didn't like".Once in while there was a dirty smell in the bathroom, that lasted only a few minutes. There's probably a problem with the internal plumbing, but it didn't bother us much. The bathroom was well ventilated and stayed dry. It may be worth reminding that there is no elevator. The reception is on ground floor, rooms are on the next 2 floors, and then the breakfast room on top. We were not bothered by this though.
The hotel is very well located, less than 10 mins walk to the 4 major tourist points, Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Basilic Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel and rooms were very clean, and well- equipped (electric kettle, refrigerator). The staff was good, and the manager, who was almost always available at the front desk, was extremely friendly and helpful, and readily provided us with tips and suggestions for our daily visits into the town. Breakfast was good, wholesome, and was served in a room with a terrace and views on the sea, which was a great start to our days.
