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.).

SwitzerlandI didn't like the amount of unfinished construction sites, the plastic all over, and the dogs on the street.
I liked that it was quiet, I had the diving centre in the hotel, so I booked all my trips with them and I also appreciated that the village (Marsa Alam is just a village) is safe and allowed me to see the life of locals.

GermanyThe bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner and the mattress was not really comfy.
From the time we arrived we felt directly very welcomed! Mohammed is a great host who really wants his guests to feel like they’re at home :) He arranged snorkeling and diving for us while we were there so we would not have to worry about anything. We saw beautiful places at the Red Sea and had a great time. The room itself it rather simple, but has overall everything you need.

United StatesMy stay at Blue Vision Diving Hotel was such a great experience! The room was clean and comfortable but the owner, Mohammed, really went above and beyond. He helped me book a trip to Sataya Reef or Dolphin House so I could swim with dolphins in the middle of the Red Sea. This was one of the coolest experiences ever! We also went diving at a nearby beach and saw stingrays, a sea turtle and tons of fish and coral. Mohammed helped arrange a massage and baked me a cake for my birthday! He even called to confirm my ride was going to pick me up so I wouldn't miss my flight from Hurghada (an airport that is three hours away). Thank you Mohammed and Blue Vision Diving Hotel for the best time in Marsa Alam! I will be back!

Stayed at Blue Vision hotel for 5 days at short notice, exclusively for scuba diving. The staff there are excellent and very friendly. The food in the restaurant is delicious and well priced, and they serve alcohol too. The hotel is clean. Mohamed, the owner is a scuba instructor knows all the local diving spots and was able to take me to many locations where we were usually able to get in 3 dives a day by the early afternoon. He is a nice guy and I really enjoyed diving with him. He also arranged for breakfast to come early to my room on the days we departed early to dive. I think the hotel is well priced for what you get. We were unfortunately unable to go to Elphinstone reef due to the visibility. Mohamed also organised a trip to snorkel with the dolphins, which personally I didn’t enjoy too much as it was VERY crowded with day trippers (probably around 200) piling into the water from a myriad of boats. But it was a fun experience nevertheless. The Wi-Fi there is fast but only works at certain positions in the hotel. The only downside I can think of is the location, which is in the middle of a street which is surrounded by half-constructed buildings and rubble. The beach within walking distance is rocky and not suitable for snorkelling/diving. You’re a short hop from the central main road but it’s a small new city with not a lot going on there. So if you don’t have transport you may be spending a lot of time lounging by the pool (perhaps ideal for some!), which is now clean and functional in contrast to previous reviews. But for a person looking to dive lots and unwind in a quiet comfortable hotel, I could not ask for any more. I’d happily stay here again.

United KingdomThis has been one of the best hotel stays I have ever had! From the moment I booked, Mohamed (the owner) called me to confirm my booking and ask about our plans here to help organising the trip. He waited for our late arrival (midnight) and took care of us in the most amazing way. Everything was provided for us - breakfast delivered in the morning, cleaning services, laundry and he even organised some aloe Vera for my awful sunburn! The hotel itself is great too, bright and spacious. The room was clean, and the bathroom was great too. We also got some flowers after the cleaning service which was a lovely touch! There is a restaurant in the hotel which sells great home made food, and the staff are really lovely and also take care of their patrons! When you're not diving or snorkeling, you can relax by the pool and listen to music, or use the gym if you've got extra energy. The other amazing thing to talk about is the diving! We didn't really know what we wanted to do or see, but that was not anything we even had to worry about as Mohamed is also a diving instructor and he organised and lead not only our dives, but also organised a last minute addition which allowed us to see the dolphins! It was an amazing experience and when we come back to Marsa Alam, we will definitely stay here and dive with Mohamed Salama again! I cannot recommend this place enough, it has been an amazing stay and I feel like a queen after stating here.

United KingdomThe room had many issues. First, the bathroom ventilator was broken and the water trap had a foul smell so the bathroom always smelled terrible. Moreover, the toilet shakes when you sit on it and some of the towels looked dirty. Lastly, the fridge was broken but they replaced it upon our request. Breakfast was below average with stale bread. The dive sites were similar to average sites in other dive locations in the Red Sea but for a higher price and we always dived twice at the same location. Lastly, the equipment was in a bad condition and often leaked some air. Be wary of the owner arranging your transport. The first incident was the transport from the airport to the hotel. The owner asked for 35 Euros but a quick search online and we got two offers. One for 23 euro and the other for 750EGP. We went for the later and it was a perfect ride. The second incident was our transport to Luxor. We had arranged for a driver with a sedan car that leaves at our chosen time for 3000 EGP. Upon hearing this, the owner told us that it’s not safe to travel with just one car as the road has no phone coverage and a couple of people recently got shot by illegal miners. Instead, he suggested the safe way is to leave with a tourist convoy protected by the police. His offer was 4300 (300 goes to the owner) for a limousine car but we had to leave at 4 AM. We trusted him (despite other foreign female travellers confirming they used the normal route safely) cause he said that’s the way he’d trust for his wife and kids. At 4 AM, we were greeted by a van which is not as comfortable as a sedan car as the van’s engine is normally very strong and noisy and you can feel it’s vibrations through your body the whole long journey (I had to explain this point as it wasn’t clear to the owner). Furthermore, the van was gonna take us to Luxor from the same secluded road and without any tourist convoy. Upon reaching, we informed the owner and he wasn’t even apologetic.
We stayed for 5 days and did some diving with the hotel owner who’s also a diving instructor. We liked the hospitality of the hotel staff. They were very polite and tried their best to accommodate our every request. Their sea food lunch was really nice and we’d recommend it. We were also grateful that they accommodated our request for an Egyptian style scrambled egg for one breakfast.
