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.).

New ZealandThe curtains didnt really keep out much light so bring an eye mask. There wasn't enough room within the room to keep bigger bags - so had to keep bag in luggage storage in next room which wasn't locked. Didn't see a lot of security as in anyone could wander in from the street - room also only had a single key but we solved this buy getting front desk to hold the key when everyone was out. Not a lot of spaces to put things - i.e. no shelves for upper or lower bunks.
Bed was confortable, air conditioning wasn't too noisey, having only 6 people per room meant noise levels weren't too low. Also power points by every bed was a nice touch. Bathroom in room was a nice bonus. Pillows were comfortable and bedding was warm enough when the air wasn't turned right up. Hostel cat was so friendly and staff were lovely and super helpful. Location was 5 mins from the main square and super easy to find. Free breakfast was usual european bread and meat and came with unlimited refills.

United KingdomOnly things I didn't like so much was that the area was a little pricier due to proximity to the Hagia Sophia and blue mosque. I would have preferred some shelves in the shower room to put clothes instead of just hooks but other than that...great facilities, warm shower, toilet works perfectly. Basically everything you need for a comfy stay! Some people might take issue with the fact it can be loud at nights but you're probably going to either be having the Aircon on which drowns out a lot of the noise, or bringing ear plugs which is obviously something a wise traveller should do anyway!
The staff are really friendly, helpful and informative. Lots of information about things to do. They're great to chat to also. Really made us feel at home, it goes a long way! I will definitely return again the next time I'm in Istanbul. It's easy to find, you can leave your luggage for free after checking out and there's also free safety deposit boxes for valuables. Excellent breakfast included in the price too! Thanks everyone ❤️

United StatesSent an email prior to arrival asking for recommendations for what to see on our 1-day stay. Hotel never responded. Asked at the hotel where to find a taxi -- desk person did not want to help us get one, told us how to get on public transport instead. We were tired, it was late, we didn't want public transport - we just wanted a taxi. Desk worker said there were none in the area. We began walking -- and found several taxis just a block or two away. It would have been great if hotel worker had just said: Down these narrow streets, taxis are rare, but you can easily catch one if you walk one block to the North. That would have been WAY better.
Location was fantastic. Rooms and bathroom were very clean. Bed comfy.

Czech RepublicThe bathroom is small. After using the shower, there is water on the floor and around the toilet. It would help if there was a wiper in the bathroom. The heating could not be turned off, so the room was too hot at night. Opening the window was not advisable as there is noise in the street. We had to wrap the radiator in towels to sleep.
Breakfast is continental and hearty. The hostel is in an excellent location close to many visitor attractions. It is also close to tram and metro stations. There are many restaurants and shops around.
