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.).

EstoniaI could hear the visitors upstairs quite well, which was not ideal when I was trying to go to bed after a busy day of exploring the city. The plumbing was not great and was also very audible, woke me up more than once.
The staff was friendly and helpful, gave some tips on where to go and answered any questions I had about anything. Yemen (I hope I wrote his name correctly) was of exceptional help and we had some great conversations with him! The breakfast was great, lovely selection of local cheeses, meats. They had lovely olives and sweets too!

MexicoI think the only thing is that the pictures in the add are different from the rooms we got. Also, when we arrived we had to sleep in different rooms and then change for the second night. They explained they had a bee problem and they were cleaning the actual room that would be assigned to us. Not a problem, just a minor trouble.
Everything. The location was wonderful. The rooms were clean, pretty and confortable. The breakfast (not included, but we paid separately) was delicious, and the woman serving the breakfast super nice and friendly. They also helped with the transfers to and from the airport.

RussiaThe house is wooden so you hear neighbors from above walking, and the music outside. The room is a bit tight and the shower is not that large. I guess this is normal for old, historic houses right in the city center in Europe.
Amazing location right next to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Tall ceilings and overall historical feel of the house. Friendly staff.

MontenegroIn the early hours of the morning the noise starts with dishes and on the staircase. Also, a big disadvantage is that the light in the apartment is weak. And the only mirror is small one in the bathroom. Which will significantly complicate the preparation of 3 girls. 😁
Excellent location. The beds were very comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Big 10 for them.

RussiaWhat we did not like is the smell of humidity due to the specific location of the apartment - the ground floor Yet, having opened the windows in the both rooms we got the air flow through, after which the smell disappears. The second factor - just to know: the ground floor windows. In the street they have coffee tables and chairs right next to the windows. People love to sit there and talk loudly :-), especially in the morning. Do not forget to shut the window if you do not want to be woken up by somebody's talk.
The location and overall appearance of the building are cool. Aside from the main street, the hotel is quiet, except for the evenings, when the nearest bar starts playing music (not very annoying actually, and they finish by 10 PM). We bought the ground-floor apartment, that was big enough - two rooms facing opposite sides of the building: "living room" faced the road, the bedroom - backyard with all the AC stuff and other noise-makers. By the way, windows provide good sound isolation when shut - rather comfortable sleep at night. The stuff let us in two hours earlier the official check-in time. We appreciated that,.

FranceI booked a standard twin room bed, but they told me that someone extended his stay, so the room I booked is not available and they gave me a double bed one. It's ok but I especially booked in this hotel to have a twin bed and it's not my problem that someone extended his stay, they should let me know in advance that the room is not available. Also it was told it's a big double bed, but it was a classic one. Besides that it was more than ok for the price

FranceI stayed at this hotel for 7 days, and at first, I was very pleased with the location and the room, which were perfect. The only small downside was the cleaning, especially the floor, which wasn’t vacuumed during our entire stay. However, this wouldn’t have prevented me from giving a great rating. Unfortunately, everything was ruined because of a very disappointing incident: my perfume was stolen from my suitcase. When I reported it to the receptionist on the last day before leaving, his response was absolutely non-existent. He showed no empathy and didn’t even apologize. He just listened to me as if it didn’t surprise him at all, and no attempt was made to resolve the issue. This was very disappointing, especially in a setting where one would expect a minimum of professionalism and respect. For those considering staying at this hotel, be careful with your personal belongings. Don’t leave anything valuable in the room, as you can’t rely on the hotel to handle such situations. In summary, although the hotel has some advantages, the complete lack of responsiveness and respect from the staff led me to give it a rating of 1. I won’t be returning.
