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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

CroatiaI recently stayed at Sultan Hamit Hotel in Istanbul with my mom and grandma, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is truly perfect—close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing. What really made our stay special was the incredible staff. From the moment we booked, communication was smooth and helpful. They arranged both our airport pick-up and drop-off, which made everything so easy and stress-free. During our stay, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They gave us great advice on where to buy souvenirs, what local dishes to try, and even what to avoid—which we really appreciated. They also arranged a beautiful boat ride on the Bosphorus for us, which was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel itself is lovely. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and we especially appreciated the late 12pm checkout, which gave us some extra time to relax before leaving. All in all, this was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I hope to return one day myself!

NorwayI have had a blast and a truly wonderful time at Sultan Hamit Hotel! We absolutely loved our stay. I had done extensive research before booking, and Sultan Hamit consistently came out on top based on our preferences — so we already knew we were in for a treat. And from the very beginning, they lived up to every bit of our expectation. As soon as our taxi stopped at the hotel’s doorstep, a friendly valet rushed over to help with our luggage. The reception staff have been extremely friendly and kind from the start till the very end of our journey. They would constantly check in with us, asking if we were happy with our stay or needed anything — and just by talking to them, you could feel they genuinely care about your well-being. I must especially mention Oumaima and Enes, who were absolute gems during our stay. Their friendliness and warm attitude really made a difference — they made us feel truly at home. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, where we could sit and drink coffee while gazing at the night skyline of Istanbul’s Asian side. We felt truly lucky to have that view. The room was spacious, the bathroom large and clean, and it even had a bidet faucet in the toilet bowl, which we appreciated a lot. But there was another surprise waiting for us — our room had its own in-room sauna! We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered it. What more could we ask for? 😄 The breakfast buffet was also quite nice! There were abundant selections of cold cuts, cheeses, salads, desserts, and a generous variety of warm dishes. There were also several drink options, including lemonade and juice. The coffee was especially exquisite. We would have at least two cups of milk-and-coffee every morning before heading out — we absolutely loved it! And of course, the hotel is located next to everything — Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque — just steps away. We were truly in the heart of the city, and honestly, it felt like we had this city in our heart too. Th
