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.).

NetherlandsI booked this hotel for my mother and me. The hotel is located in a tourist location. All the sights were close by. In addition, the tram station was also close by, making it easy to go to other neighborhoods. The reception was very friendly, especially Beric. A very nice guy. He arranged a taxi for us at night so that we could go back to the airport. I give the staff and the hotel a big 9+

SpainSome electronic equipment, such as sockets or the cable of the blow- dryer were in a questionable state and should be checked and replaced. Thanks again for providing a new, mobile blow-dryer for us.
The hotel is ideally located in a calm street within walking distance to the major sights and restaurants. The rooms are very clean, for us it would not have been necessary to replace all the towels and soap every time. Since we are conscious about the environment, we would have made use of a "no service required" sign. The daily free water was also very appreciated. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful, (we would like to give special thanks to the grey haired gentleman for his assistance - for example with the new blow-dryer) and very keen to assist with organising activities. We didn't make use of offers such as arranging Hamam, for we wanted to go to our pre- selected location, but it might be an option if one is more flexible, since Barca supposedly knows a guy for special price conditions. Definitely, we regret not having listened to him about his warnings about the restaurants visible from the entrance door (we tried the one with inexplicable 4.9 stars on Google ...). We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at hotel Erguvan and warmly recommend it to everyone.

PolandI really didn't like the approach from one particular receptionist, who sold us the boat trip. He was putting the presure to buy it rather than helping or properly explaining details. His approach was quite rude and we almost lost the money in the end as the initial trip started without us (we were late couple of minutes). Apart from it the room we had was located on the first floor with not so great view (we could only see the street) and was really loudy due to that (cars driving nearby).
I really liked the location of the hotel, near main attractions, good restaurants and the seaside. The breakfast was also great. The option to store the luggage in the hotel after check out was much convenient as well. The majority of the staff was really friendly and helpful, we had an issue with boat trip and one of the receptionists did his best to solve it for us - I am really grateful for that.

I booked this hotel for my mom for five nights. She was traveling with some friends and her comments were that the hotel was superb, with a marvelous location for tourism and a super friendly staff. She would definitely recommend it to a friend and for sure she would stay again in the case of a new trip to the city.

The location is nearby to Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque. Just that, you need to turn left from the hotel(a bit long but the road is 'old folks friendly') instead of right (sharp climbing) The terrace view can see the blue mosque. The room is spacious, the breakfast was good. You can request how do you like your egg to be done. The staff will help you with any query that you like, guide, taxi booking etc.
