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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaCheck in was tricky. There is no reception like a. Ormal hotel so you have to coordinate with the host when you arrive. This can be difficult if you dont have a Turkish sim card.
The room was very clean and comfortable. The location is near many attractions like grand bazaar, spice market and Sultanahmet.

HungaryThe bathroom were flooded after use and it was hard to set up a good temperature for the water because once it was too hot and if you moved the tap a little bit then it became too cold. But we could live together with it.
The location and the value/price ratio were pretty good. The only thing that wad bad that in the bathroom the water came out on the bottom of the shower cabin so the whole bathroom were soaking. But the beds were convinient, we got slippers and cosmetics as gifts, so for the price it was excellent.

United StatesBe prepared to walk a lot since this apartment is not near any public transportation (in fact to take the tram, you will need to walk steep uphill for ~ 15mins). though the manger was quick to reply via WhatsApp, there is not always someone in the office, so there is no hotel-like front desk. Therefore, make sure you do not forget the key.
This apartment is in the old town, and in a reasonably quiet neighborhood. Considering the cost, I think though the apartment is small, it was a good option for budget travelers. There are quite a few restaurants nearby. If you read the google reviews, you can find some great local and cheap food places within 15 mins walking distance.

Close to most local tourist spots, well maintained, very friendly and helpful owner Mr Cem Avsar. Appears to be a new property too and has everything you need to have a comfortable night’s stay. Would be ideal for a small family who are looking to spend time outside sightseeing and would just like a place to come back to for a night’s rest.

MongoliaAt the beginning I didn’t like the building because it looks very old. But inside to live it is good.
It was comfortable and close to the city center, too. Neighborhood is very quiet in the night compared to the other part of streets. You can enjoy the sunrise above the beach every morning, which is in a walking distance from the building.

I had an amazing experience in this room. It's beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and filled with thoughtful amenities. The central location is perfect for exploring the city, yet it's remarkably peaceful. The hosts' outstanding hospitality made my stay truly memorable. I can't wait to come back!

CanadaFirstly, the price. The price that was showed on Booking wasn't the same I paid at the property, since the host added some taxes. There was not even a word about taxes in the app. Secondly ,I didn't really like the shower. The water was either boiling hot or really cold. Moreover, I closed the shower door really well but when I finished taking the shower, I saw that all the water was on the floor. The way it constructed wished for more. And thirdly, there is a window with the curtains in my room, but all I hear is very loud noises from the street, that was just so annoying, especially at night. I tried to close the window but since the weather was super hot that day, I left it opened and I've woken up several times at night from those sounds.
First, the host was really welcoming and helpful. He helped me to lift up my heavy luggage downstairs. He also answered all of my questions without hesitation. Second, the location is really great, walkable distance to all famous and main attractions of Istanbul. Just 2 minutes away from a bunch of shops, cafes, restaurants, and etc.

IndonesiaThe prices were not exactly for what you get in the photos. Also, I could not understand what the host is trying to say sometimes, because he doesn't speak a bit of English. But he made an effort using Google Translate, which I appreciated.
I like that it's very conveniently placed in the middle of town, near the shore so you can take a 10 minute walk to Hagia Sophia and it's surrounding parks and architecture. It's in the busy part of town so there's always something to do and the food around there is quite good in my opinion. The first room I stayed at was fantastic! The view on the top floor was great but too bad I had to be downgraded to the basement afterward. The host was kind enough to let me stay in the room for 10 minutes more than the checkout time since I was in the shower. Alas, the apartments were quite nice. I can recommend for a friend, but the pricing needs to be adjusted.

United KingdomThere is some one in the office but not all the time. There was no electricity on Good Friday for over half of the day and there was no note on the office door to let people know what was happening and no one in the office to talk to (unless you had mobile data there was no WiFi to contact the host to get an update). The room was small with no A/C and a window the opened on to the street so you got all the noise, dust and splashes from the buckets of water used for cleaning) but if you are on a budge and just want somewhere to stay that is safe this is a good place for that.
The apartment is close to the sea and overground station (so a 3 min walk) a 10 min walk down a hill if you get the tram (I would not suggest this with luggage) but all the major sites and the Grand Bazar are in walking distance. The host was contactable through what’s app which was useful but only after you check in. The host himself was friendly and used google translate which was helpful.
