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 KingdomEverything was amazing! We were staying with my mum and booked economy room but it was upgraded to room with balcony for free. Stuff was amazing, so nice and friendly. They were helping us throughout our stay at the hotel with any question. The room was clean and there is a restaurant with delicious food. We also got a discount for the first meal. The breakfast was included and it was a big variety of food and drinks.

BelgiumOur stay here was fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The staff is extremely friendly, you can ask Levent anything, he will be more than pleased to help with directions and transportation. Ramazan put all of our luggage in the room as there is no elevator. We were lucky and even got a free room upgrade! Breakfast was great and dinner, though a bit pricey, was delicious! Really nothing negative to say here, if you stay in sultanahmed, don't hesitate to make this your home base!

United KingdomI am a solo traveller and felt I had to work a little bit harder than others to gain attention in the restaurant. Once I was seated at a table at the back of the inside restaurant but they did move me into the garden restaurant when I asked. The second time I was placed in a family room. Couples were served before me even though I arrived after them. The food is excellent and the service for others was very good. Accessibility - there is no lift at the hotel - this is stated clearly when booking. Also, the roads to the attractions are uphill and many are cobbled. It is difficult to walk on pavements and the kerbs can be high. This might be something to consider for mobility issues.
Excellent location to all major attractions (walking distance). Quaint style. Friendly staff. Room was spacious with a good bathroom. Comfy bed, air conditioning and good wifi. Breakfast is included and the restaurant is open until 11 pm.

GermanyThe breakfast was lackluster. No fresh freshed juice, and the coffee was all made from instant coffee powder. Minor stuff: Some confusion arose where we were promised an upgrade, but it wasnt actually for us, and was then retracted. The associated leather store was predicatable tourist nonsense, and the bospherus boat tour promoted by the hotel is one of the bad over priced knockoffs , instead of one of the good boat tours.
Extremely well located hotel in the old historic town. Co-located with a great (if quite pricy) restuarant that can serve great versions of the local dishes. The view is also good either to the garden or to to street with a view to the old hippodrome wall.

RussiaIn principle, we liked everything, but as they say, there is no limit to perfection.
The staff was very polite and could answer all the questions I liked the hotel. The hotel is quiet, our room faced the street so it was a little noisy The breakfast is very good, although monotonous. Lots of fruits. Very tasty puff pastry The restaurant in the hotel is excellent. But it's quiet expensive.

AustraliaThe hotel staff, especially Selcuk, were extremely helpful, and we were grateful to Ramazan for carrying our bags up and down the stairs to our garden room. Selcuk explained the benefits of and process for the Istanbulkart, which proved invaluable. The breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect for the sightseeing we wanted to do. The airport transfers were good and worth the 55€. The Garden Restaurant, located in the hotel, was an unexpected bonus - excellent food and exceptional service from Kadir. Friends joined us from England and we had a lovely reunion to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. Thankyou.
