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.).

Brazilbelieve me, the building is horrendous and dirty. the room was dirty, there was only an outside bathroom and our room was next to the reception, so at night the light entered the room. the breakfast is very basic. The staff are attentive, but I don't recommend it. For a similar price you can get much better accommodation.
the staff are helpful and attentive. They let us enter the room before the check in time.

Berlin Hotel is such a gem! What a nice place, with an exceptional staff and an absolutely lovely, caring and amazing owner. They made sure that my stay is as perfect as it can get! They have taxi service from the airport at an absolutely reasonable price, also they are offering a driver who takes you to Giza, Memphis, Saqqara and other important sights nereby Cairo - again - at a fair price. The rooms are lovely with a unique, but equally great atmosphere. The location of Berlin Hotel is also pitch perfect! I highly recommend it! Oh, and the rooms are coming with breakfast! So, all in all, a perfect stay in a wonderful city!

IrelandSome people may find the lift uncomfortable due to it missing doors but they are currently renovating so that won’t be an issue.
Fantastic location could easily grab a taxi across the road, close to all monuments in Cairo. AC was good and kept the room cold enough during 40+ degrees to keep us sleeping easily.

AustraliaExcellent location in the heart of Cairo - surrounded by 17th century buildings and very central to everything you could need while visiting the city. Just off a busy main street so very easy to book Ubers too. Staff were extremely friendly and accomodating, with airport pickup and complimentary tea and coffee on arrival. Air con was great and very much needed for the 40°C days. Hotel is in the process of upgrades to rooms.
