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.).

United KingdomThe showering/toilet area isn't as private as you may be use too but if you are very comfortable with your partner it won't be an issue.
Me and my girlfriend had arrived into cairo in the early hours of the morning, and the owner mustaffa very kindly allowed us to get checked in early and when in a new place your not familiar with that really made us feel at ease. He also gave us great advice and assisted us with booking some tours which were fantastic! The staff in the hotel are so friendly and really made us feel safe and at home. We had a lovely Turkish coffee most mornings and the aircon worked wonders.The location is opposite the bank, which is ideal when you have only arrived with some dollars with you, it has local shops right next door which was so handy for us.I loved the hotel for it's authentic traditional look and location as it really gave you a proper feel for egypt 🇪🇬 it is within 10minutes of the nile and very close to other attractions such as the museum and numerous places to eat.We are going backpacking next year and this gave us a taste of what it could be like but in far better conditions. I would highly recommend staying here as your base for your sightseeing adventure. I would like to thank the hotel once again for making our first trip to cairo one to remember.

United KingdomThe road outside is noisy, but quietens down around 2200. The showers temperature fluctuates and spills beyond the shower areas, however, if you ask Hassan or Temer they will go above and beyond to clear.
All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Easy to find and good location for shops. Value for money is great. The building is amazing with ceilings nearly 4m high, which helps to keep the place cool, one day was 37°C outside and i didn't put on the aircon once.

KuwaitThe bathroom in our room leaked, so whenever we took a shower, water would pool in the room. Hot water is not consistent. While taking a shower the water would run cold. Something they should fix. Difficult to find the property in day time as there was no clear sign for it.
Location was great, lots of cafe, bars and shops around. The staff were great and very welcoming. They were very responsive to our request.

MalaysiaConstant hot water for bathroom will be nice since Winter is right now. Other than that all are well.
Reception staff Mr Tahmer and Mr David is helpful and I arrived earlier than official check in time however not being hold since they have availability and check me in straight away. Was escorted to the hotel by Mr Tahmer and got a ride with traditional small elevator which I have seen only in movie most of the time feel like the scene of The Grand Budapest. Hotel itself is on second floor and close to street so noise wise is there however got a room behind the street so less noise not completely without and is fine understandable. Egyptian Museum is in walking distance same to some coffee shop or restaurants also groceries if you need as well money exchange office. Have extended my stay for another night last minute and they make it possible without room move. Appreciate tons of effort they given.

MoroccoMy stay at the hotel was very delighful that i even booked it twice. Not only is it located in the downtown which means all of historical cairo is within a walking distance , but also the staff is very accomodating. The owner and his sister Ms Ibtissam are very helpful and welcoming , they really made me feel like home. The atmosphere here is more of a boutique hotel where all of the staff knows everyone, and this honestly is what makes this hotel special. I highly recommend people staying here

United Stateshard to find, no signage at the street entrance, old sheets, old towels with holes, dirty bathroom, hot water issues, lots of ants in bathroom, 24hr construction going on across the street if you’re room faces the street. finally, I inquired about getting a pcr test to the staff. instead of simply recommending me a few sites to get the test done, one staffer insisted on accompanying me to get the test and wanted me to pay him 200 Egyptian pounds. I spent one night here and checked out immediately the following morning in search of a new place to stay.
rooms were quite spacious but that’s it.
