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.).

IndiaNothing to dislike. Had an excellent time here.
We had a genuinely great experience at the Sultan Hamit Hotel. Our sea-facing room provided a mesmerising view of the Bosphorus Strait's activities both early in the morning and at day's end. The hotel's standout feature is undoubtedly its staff and their exceptional helpfulness. They are cordial and always ready to assist with any needs, from arranging airport pick-ups and planning our day/sea tour in Istanbul to providing guidance on the public transport system and where to find quality items at affordable rates. Their patience and thorough assistance were truly commendable. The rooms are immaculate, equipped with ample amenities, including the convenience of ordering food. The breakfast area is spacious, offering an extensive spread every day—a noteworthy point for me as a vegetarian who found the food menu exceptionally satisfying. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, situated right behind Sultan Ahmet and next to the Bosphorus Strait and tram stations. Every facility appeared to be within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Even the airport drop-off was hassle-free. If I ever visit Istanbul again, I would undoubtedly choose to book this place for our stay.

United KingdomExcellent parking. 5 spaces. We had no problem with finding the hotel. It's in a quiet part of the area, away from all the traffic. Less than 5 minutes walk to Aya Sophia, Topkapi palace and Blue Mosque. We had a beautiful sea view. Breakfast was great. All the staff were very polite and pleasant. One of the best hotels I've stayed in Istanbul. Great value for money too.

GreeceThe beds can be better. I've tried the breakfast once, rich in options but not so European style.
The place where the hotel is located is great to see the main sights of Instabul, i.e., Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Capali Carsi (Grand Bazaar) etc. The personnel is friendly and always willing to help you. Ichrak, a young lady at the reception, is amazing, funny and ready to provide an answer when needed!

UzbekistanA couple of standard rooms do not have the same conditions as other standard rooms, so your expectations may not be met. I would recommend downgrading these rooms to economy or giving visitors the option to select a specific room when booking. It should be noted that the guys at the reseption kindly helped us change the room to a better one after availability.
Ideal location, in the old town, close to the promenade and all the main attractions. Within walking distance to the metro and sea station. The room has a small refrigerator and tea making area. Breakfast was quite good with a wide variety of options.

PakistanI booked double deluxe room on booking.com but the booking was done for deluxe room either due to booking.com error or may be the rooms were not updated on booking.com by hotel. But in any case hotel guest relations were kind enough to change my room type to family room without any extra charges.
Staff was helpful all around, location was ideal right next to topkapi palace and just 7 min walk to topkapi entrance which means all the main attractions are at walking distance like hagia sufya, blue mosque, basilica cistern etc

CanadaWe paid 700 Lira for the taxi from airport to the hotel. But when we asked for the taxi from hotel to the airport we were charged 1000 Lira. The taxi driver said you have to pay whatever people of the hotel said and he didn’t turn on the taxi meter. I think people from the hotel commission the taxi for their gusts.
