Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

NetherlandsI was not offered tea during my first breakfast that was included in the price. I didn’t know that and ordered coffee and paid separately. After checking out I asked personnel of the cafe to put some cheese in a fridge. For some reason he put it in a freezer. That was very surprising.
Great location in a lovely area of Istanbul with lots of bars and cafes. I had a very big room on the 3rd foor and I had to use 2 elevators to get there. The breakfast at the cafe downstairs was good.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThe Bathroom had some mould on the edges which was unpleasant. The fridge in the room was out of function (like broken door or something, cannot recall) although it was advertised.
Hotel is on a nice location, the surrounding area is very nice and alive at 2 or even 3h after midnight. Staff was okayish, cleanness is also okayish. Overall somewhat good money-to-value ratio, especially on Besiktas.

United StatesThe lights in the room would sometimes cut out briefly, but overall they worked okay. The in-room safe was not working properly (could no unlock it).
The location of Ruby Hotel was very convenient for the tourist sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, it was a short walk to a main bus station. The room itself was a great size, included a mini-fridge with free water, tea, and coffee. There was a standing closet to store clothing. The bedside table had lamps with light switches next to the bed. The shower had great water pressure and warm water. The room included a radiator heater and an a/c unit. There was a TV but I did not turn it on to see what channels were offered. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap were included. They also had a hair dryer in the bathroom. Room service was excellent!
