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...).

RussiaIt was a liitle bit cool in the room.
Great location. In the center of the old eastern part of Istanbul. Metro and ferry stop in 5 minutes. Very convenient to get to Sabiha Airport. If you wanted to walk on the other side, then also not a problem (thanks to the Istanbul ferry service). There are a lot of cafes and shops nearby. There is where to walk.

Finlandİt was very noisy and smoky from the smokers below the room (101). The receptionist was not friendly. The lady at the breakfast was very nasty to the cats and sprayed water on them and chased them away. She claims that they scratched her. The breakfast was basic - bare minimum and the little jars that had the jam and butter were reused. Quite grossed out by that.
I liked the location and the clean room. I liked that I forgot my dress and a printed photo from a wedding but someone told me about where they were and we managed to get it back when we came back for our luggage. Thank you so much for that.

Due to its location is is very noisy during the night and the windows are not helping. In the bathroom water was dropping from the ceiling. The breakfast is poor and coffee is not included.
The location is great close to the restaurants and pubs. It is close to the metro and public transportation. The room is big enough and clean.

Qatar-There are bars downstairs which made sleeping at night challenging at times, especially on weekends. -Rooms aren’t soundproof so you can hear almost everything happening around you whether its music downstairs or neighboring room TV sounds. -No elevator which kind of affects the ease of checking in and out with luggage. -Receptionist was very helpful and responsive but doesn’t speak any English but it was managed with translation apps, however such a position requires someone who has some basic knowledge of English to be able to communicate with tourists.
-Many stores and restaurants in kadikoy are within walking distance. -The room had all basic amenities. -Curtains blackout made sleeping quality better. -Staff were helpful.

UkraineThere are a lot of bars and cafes around and there are too noisy in the evening. There is no kettle to make tea. There is not tea service at the reception. I had to go to another cafe to make a tea. Can you imagine it? There is no tea in a Turkish hotel. Also the staff was unfriendly.
Usual, not expensive hotel at the centre at Kadikoy.

SlovakiaFurniture needs some refresh, there was open balcony behind closed curtains in the room, we did not know that, so anybody could get in while we were away. Man at reception desk was not very welcoming, did not tell us anything about check out time, breakfast times etc. Just gave us a room card and goodbye.
We stayed only for one night, so it was okay. Bathroom was clean, room was spacious enough, bed was comfy. Location is great. Close to ferry and metro M4 from airport.

United KingdomWhen I wanted to check in at 14.30- even though check in time is 14.00- I was told the room was not ready then next day when we went downstairs for breakfast 5 minutes before the breakfast ends, we were told that the kitchen was closed. There is no lift and our room was on upper floors with a steep spiral staircase and they didn't even offer helping with luggage. The rooms are supposed to be sound proof but as it is in the middle of restaurants and clubs, we could hear street noises and music until late in the night from the window. Air conditioner is not the best of its kind. Bathroom has a strong drain smell.
Location is amazing if you are a tourist and would like to see highlights as well as experience Istanbul like a local. It is walking distance to the public transport- boat to go to the old town and Europe, tube to get to SAW airport and bus to Istanbul airport. Cleaning lady is very nice and rooms are so clean.

United Arab EmiratesThere is no lift, which is clearly mentioned in the hotel description, the staff helped us out to take our luggage to the room, though. It takes time for the water to be drained in the shower area, we should have reported this. Breakfast starts at 9 am but was served around 9:20 am.
The location of the hotel, it's 5 minutes walk to Entrance 3 of Kadikoy Metro Station which is the last station from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport; 5 to 7 minutes walk to the ferry station. Lots of restaurants and shops for presents/souvenirs nearby. Room is spacious enough. We were accommodated 2 hours before the check-in time since the room is already available which is a nice gesture.

United KingdomI ALWAYS start my morning with a coffee but it wasn't included with the breakfast (only tea) and they had to wait for next door to open before I could buy one so I would go to the hotel across the street & buy one there. I had to ask for toilet paper 2 of the days that I stayed. No fault of the hotel but they really need to change their cleaning team as they didn't replenish towels or clean room every day. My room had no window but for me that was fine as I was out all day & being its a busy street with lots of loud music it made it quiet in there at night. Other people may not like a room without a window though so check before booking.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Comfy bed. Nice traditional Turkish breakfast, good value for money.
