Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesIt is really a restaurant with hotel rooms. No amenities and an indifferent staff. The restaurant plays loud music until 2am that is really disruptive if sleep is your goal at night.
Beautiful building.

Egypt- Thr rooms have very poor lighting ! due to very weak l.e.d strip lighting were put all over the place . At night, you can't see well to dress up and get yourself ready to go out. cannot even read a book in your bed before sleeping . We had to buy a powerful bulb and replaced it with the small dim bulb we had in our only floor stand lamp in the room.. - We've booked two rooms, one Deluxe room for our daughter and the other was King Suite for us. We found the two rooms were fully identical in size and the room that they claimed was a suite was not related to photoes of the suite on booking , also inside what they claimed was a suite the clothing hanging space was far fewer than the other room😞 We felt tht we were tricked , and when we objecteded they claimed they would tell their manager the next day and the matter would be solved !! but they did nothing for the next eight nights. - Unfortunately, the hotel administration allows smoking in the corridor infront of the rooms and places seats and ashtrays , which leads to a strong smoke smell inside the rooms, causing me constant severe Asthma, runny nose and eye tears throughout my stay . This is the most ridiculous thing a hotel in the whole world has done. - The hotel does not serve a decent breakfast! It rents its own restaurant to an outdoor restaurant company whose breakfast is not included in the room price and very pricy and expensive. Which obliges us to go out daily for breakfast outside even if it is cold or rainy.
- Location was gorgeous, un- beatable in the middle of Sirkeći area , yet still so quiet and has walkable distsnce to many attractions & restaurants. - I liked the hotel style , it was unique full of historical vibes .. Very clean. The staff were polite, helpfull and kind . - Very clean rooms, smily, conscientious worker, excellent quality bed sheets and, excellent hygiene products.

United KingdomThe hotel is in a prime position close to the spice market. It has been beautifully converted and retains all of its historical charm. The whole front of house team are truly magnificent and a huge asset to the hotel. Nothing is too much trouble and incredibly friendly whilst still remaining professional. The hotel also boasts one of the best restaurants in the city with an amazing atmosphere and ambience. Finally the coffee shop attached to the hotel is also wonderful.

Denmarkcouldnt tell anything much
Unlike many Istanbul listings on Booking.com that boast high ratings and beautiful photos—which can sometimes be misleading—this hotel was a delightful exception. It’s an elegant and upscale property with a stunning view overlooking the restaurant. Its central location, right in the heart of the city and near the spice market, might explain some of the negative reviews, but my wife and I were truly overwhelmed by how exceptional the hotel was.

SwitzerlandI did not have a window in my room. The music from the restaurant was too loud every night until 1 a.m. my safe was not working. The annoying ladies at the entrance who asked me every time I entered the hotel (multiple times a day) whether I stay at the hotel or have the reservation in the restaurant. The ladies paid more attention to their instagrams rather to remember my face.
The crew / service. Gentlemen were really helpful and motivated. They went above and beyond.

Reception staff were excellent, exceptional service. Location was fantastic. Bed is soft, could use a larger blanket but I think it’s good. Towels were changed on a daily basis without asking, and water was replaced promptly! Also they have a very cute cat.

United StatesThe negative was a little machine that put fragrance into the room. It gave me a headache so I turned it off.
The hotel is beautiful, located in an historical hotel for traders. The location is easy access to all the major sites plus a few blocks from the Spice Market. There are cafes and shops everywhere; the hustle and bustle of Istanbul is enchanting. The hotel is impeccably clean, lots of hot water, and very quiet. Staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. When I return to Istanbul I will stay here again!

GreeceThe room was a little dark most of the day due to the dimmed lighting. Also the street which the hotel is located unfortunately is closed for cars most of the day so it makes it a little difficult if you have to carry luggage. Price didn’t include breakfast which we thought we had in our reservation. We had breakfast paid separately in the restaurant (keep in mind the price of the restaurant is a little steep but understandable due to the level of cuisine they offer)
Stunning hotel very interesting architecture! The reception and staff was very helpful and cheerful both in the hotel and the restaurant. We loved the view to the restaurant and despite the comments for the loud noice we heard nothing and slept comfortably.We think is because of the big class doors they have installed in the whole floor. The cleaning service was daily and we had fresh towels,also the bathroom provides hairdryer which was helpful.
