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...).

NetherlandsThe rooms are quite basic and could use some improvement. There is not much of an atmosphere unless you create it yourself. I think the eating area was shut down after breakfast because of a lack of staff being able to occupy the bar the rest of the day. This area can easily be turned into a comfort spot for travelers if they don't feel leaving the hostel. This hostel might be the cheapest in Istanbul it is however in an expensive area. Affordable restaurants are atleast a fifteen minuten walk away.
I mean I came here mainly because the price/expectancy was very decent. A big shout out to the staff. I liked them a lot. The breakfast is a nice kick starter for the rest of the day but don't expect anything fancy. The entire hostel is properly cleaned daily

NetherlandsThere is not much atmosphere and I think it is mainly because of the missing lounge or hangout area. There are some tables which are great to make use of but otherwise a hangout could give a good impulse. Create the vibe yourself here or find it elsewhere. I think there are some basic things missing in the bedrooms like individual lights and small tables for each bed. The area of the hostel is rather expensive, when you're on strict budget you'll have to travel for 10-15 min to get to more affordable options.
I like the staff members. They thought along in finding a storage location for my bicycle. They have a large locker area downstairs that comes for 200 lira deposit. Large enough for all your valuables. The breakfast is an alright kickstarter, don't expect to much of it just the basics but nice that it is included.

United StatesI wasn’t thrilled, as an old lady, to be given a room on the third floor—and a couple of older gentlemen shared my dislike of the climb. At night the noise from the near by bars was really loud. The step up to the bathroom from my private room made me nervous, as there was no hand hold in case my wet feet from the shower made me slip.
The staff and owner were super accomodating and helpful and friendly. The breakfast made a really good place to meet other residents and make friends. The room was very clean. A short walk took you to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, plus the location was surrounded by food establishments.

United StatesThe soap dispenser in the room’s bathroom was empty.
Everything was perfect. The room, bed and bathroom amenities were very comfortable, the location is great for a short stay- in the heart of the old town, within the 5 minute walk to major attractions. The stuff was very welcoming and helpful. The stuff speak good English, 2 ladies speak Russian. I shared a room with a nice girl who gave me traveling tips- everything was amazing. There are boat tours leaving from the area. Everything was easy and convenient.

United Arab EmiratesFirst of all the location is superb. A walkable distance to all major ancient attractions, just walk around twice in the daylight, then you understand the area and tram station and local rail stations are nearby.( Not metro). The receptionist is super friendly and always has a helping hand,easy communicable too.the location is on an ancient street with plenty of restaurants and pubs( prices may be high due to its location. They have a cafe attached to the facilities and will get a standard breakfast for free. Value for money facilities and nice location.
