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.).

The Nubian palace is the most friendly place we have stayed in Egypt over the past two weeks, the airport transfer was very helpful, the grilled chicken was very very delicious. The room was clean with strong air conditioning, the breakfast was also nice. On the day of check-out, the driver brought us sugar cane juice on the way to the Nile Cruise. Really grateful for that. So I would strongly recommend Nubian palace, so nice, so friendly and so helpful.

United StatesIt would be nice if when we have tours early morning we get something healthy to eat in our breakfast box like fresh sliced fruit instead of bread. However, I appreciate the effort to provide breakfast boxes when we have flights. This act alone shows how much the staff cares.
The manager of this hotel is amazing! His kindness and care to his staff and his customers truly made my experience in all of Egypt incredibly impactful!!! I went on a tour with him twice, learned a little but of Arabic meant his family, and visited his old home. Thank you for making my trip to Egypt so impactful.

United KingdomThe place is very well decorated. In a nice and tranquil spot. Good food and comfy rooms. The view of the Nile is very relaxing and can make you feel like you are somewhere special. The staff is amazing and very friendly, one of the best people I have ever met. Idris made us feel like home and we got along like he was an old friend of us. Nubian people are very friendly and it was also nice to learn some aspects of their unique culture. Definetely recommend this pleace to anyone. Far from the chaos of the city centre.

United StatesThe only less than desirable part was the shower setup. Having the toilet so close to shower head didn't give much space for me (personally), and water tends to get everywhere. Water was warm though and I was easily able to do what needed to be done.
Everything from my room and the aesthetic of the space itself, to the general location, staff, and food. The environment was incredibly welcoming and I felt very at home thanks to the hospitality of the staff.

United KingdomNothing that we did not like!
We really enjoyed our stay at Nubian palace. Saeeda, Ahmed, Mai and team are great and communicative and responsive. The place is beautifully painted and decorated, with a lovely ambience, rooms comfortable, food is delicious and they are very helpful and supportive in organising trips and tours both locally in Aswan but also beyond to Abu simbel and further away temples as well. The location is great for accessing Aswan and locations like the Philae temple. The guides they arranged were informative and helpful. The free local Nubian tour and experience was fantastic. Our children loved it as well. Highly recommend.

GermanyThe only downside was that the shower was just built on the wall of the bathroom without an enclosure, so the whole floor of the bathroom gets wet. But we didnt really have a problem with it, they provide a swiper to clean everything up, so its just one extra step. And the shower itself was really good.
We had a really amazing stay at nubian palace. The place has an amazing view from the terrace, where you can sit whenever you want and wont be urged to buy something or something like that. I also really liked how calm it was. The noises of the city are gone, so you can really relax after a day in the city or a busy sightseeing. I espacially want to thank Ahmed, who is always there, always smiling and providing just the nicest and best service ever. We really felt at home because of him. He also made sure we get a really nice boat driver, so ask him for this. The driver was chill, calm, provided tea and snacks for every single trip and didnt hassle even once. He even waited for us at every single destination so we wouldnt have to wait for him or call him. The Breakfast is AMAZING. We could never ever eat everything. There was egg, flat bread, a salad, a local kind of cheese, two nubian dips for the bread that you could also eat just by itself and fried potatos. They also make you water with lemons or other stuff in it, which is safe to drink. They say they detoxyfied it, i dont know exactly what they did but none of us ever got any problems from it and neither did any of the other guests. For dinner we just stayed on the terrace, where they serve a variety of meals. A lot of guests from other houses came over every day for dinner so i am going to let that speak for itself. The rooms are pretty, everything seems like you live in a smaller version of the village around the hotel and everybody has their own house. There is air conditioning in every room, the beds are comfortable and everything was clean. Over all i can really recommend to stay here and enjoy the amazing place.

The Nubians are such genuine, warm and welcoming people, a breath of fresh air from other parts of Egypt. For the first time in Egypt, we didn't feel like the owner/staff were out to sell us goods/services we didn't want, or to make a quick buck out of us. They included a free tour to show us around their lively village, and were always so accommodating and eager to help with all aspects of our stay (laundry, dining in, airport transfer) etc.

GreeceThe location for us was ideal, aswan is reachable either by taxi or a boat, but we didn't mind been a bit further away as we could escape the crowds. The hospitality was great and they were always very keen to assist us with organizing trips or transportation to other places. We took the free tour of the nubian village which is offered and really enjoy it and had fun learning Arabic and nubian. The rooms and in whole the place is very traditional and distinguishes from just a normal hotel. Absolutely loved the place
