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.).

United KingdomFantastic service - nothing was too much bother. The view from the balcony was outstanding. Location was excellent - Galata has some great artisan/upmarket shops, cafe’s bars and restaurants. Our room with balcony was very spacious and beds super comfortable.

Phenomenal Experience at George’s Galata Our stay at George’s Galata was nothing short of exceptional. The location is absolutely unbeatable—nestled in the heart of Istanbul’s vibrant Galata neighborhood, we were steps away from the iconic Galata Tower and within walking distance of countless charming cafes, boutiques, and cultural landmarks. The breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace alone are worth the stay, offering panoramic vistas of the Bosphorus and the historic cityscape. What truly made our experience memorable, however, was the impeccable service. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Special mention must be made of Caner and Yasin, whose personalized attention and warm hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome. They anticipated our needs, tailored their recommendations to suit our preferences, and made every effort to make our stay extraordinary. Their kindness and professionalism were truly the highlight of our trip. The room itself was beautifully designed, blending modern elegance with touches of traditional charm. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and equipped with every amenity we could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. If you’re visiting Istanbul, George’s Galata is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the city’s beauty, culture, and history while enjoying world-class service. We can’t wait to return!

AustraliaRestaurant very expensive. Parts of the hotel were extremely dark - quite dangerous on stairs. Our ‘garden view’ room had a view of the fire escape and a concrete wall. Bathroom wasn’t very private which could bother some people.
Position was excellent. Rooftop had beautiful views.
