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.).

AustraliaLike most buildings in the Sultanahmet there is no lift so you may have to climb up several floors
Our suite was on the top floor with a balcony which gave us a wonderful view of the Bosphorus and the surrounding parts of SultanAhmet. Our host Ali Resat Shamaa provided us with excellent advice and assistance.

UkraineWe enjoyed staying at this place. The location is great, central with proximity to all the attractions, but at the same time quiet. There are plenty of great restaurants with amazing local food nearby. The staff is very welcoming and nice. We ordered the transfer suggested by the hotel which has been organized well, timely, and comfortable. The rooms are very clean.

We had a wonderful 4 nights at Emirhan and would highly recommend. The room is exactly as description and the view from the balcony is amazing. It's a pity it was cold when we visited in February as it would have been lovely to spend more time on the balcony. We had a problem with the toilet but it was fixed as soon as we messaged. Our host was super attentive. We will be booking here again when we return to Istanbul. Thank you for everything

Everything is wonderful! Location, View, Equipment, Service etc. The apartment has also a nice view! The guys here are always available and friendly. Can't appreciate more for all the help! Surely recommended to all!

AustraliaNothing, it was perfect
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Emirhan Guest House. The staff were lovely people and so welcoming from start to finish. It was also one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. The location was a perfect base for exploring the old city, with many sights within easy walking distance while being away from the noise of the main streets. In the evenings and early mornings we sat on the balcony listening to the birds in the trees of the beautiful mosque next door. Lots of shops and restaurants are also nearby. Really convenient and just a lovely experience. Thank you for having us!

AustraliaFloor is slanting, we slept other direction in bed. Many steps to top which was no issue for us.
We had room 207, the one on the very top with a terrace overlooking the sea and neighbouring mosque in a lovely old part, room was quiet yet not far away good eating places and a little supermarket 24/7. Little kitchen so we had breakfasts on the terrace. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the young man from Egypt.

AustriaI was 3 nights in August 2023 in Emirhan Guesthouse, and want to thank a lot the personal for the help, hospitality and always being available. The suit was like on the pictures, clean and quiet despite the central location. The only sound I've heard was praying, what you can not avoid in the city. The terrasse I should mention separately, it has a beautiful view on the city, and you can spend nice evenings there. I would definitely recommend the Hotel and would come back at the next visit!

Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. We had difficjliestfinding the place and was like walking and asking a couple of times when suddenly the owner appeared in front of us. Apparently someone message him that we are looking for Emirhan. When we arrived he made coffee while finishing the registration paperwork. The owner also helped carrying one of our 10kg luggage while escorting us to the Guesthouse. He even helped carrying it when we checked out to our next stay which is 10 minutes walk. The room is on the 5th floor by stairs only,but it was worth it. The room ia very spacious, with coffee making facility, refrigerator and a microwave. Bathroom with hot water shower. Water pressure is very good. Bed was comfortable. Aircon was cold. Many windows, with one side overlooking the ocean at a distance. The balcony is also spacious and overlooking the ocean as well. Door lock looked strong and secure. There's an electronic remote to open the main door to the house so we have a 24h access. The location is a 10minutes walk from Sultanahmet, a bit downhill. A small supermarket is within 5 minutes distance. A few choice of restaurants are available in the vicinity, with lower prices compared to those in Sultanahmet.
