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 twin room was a little pricey, considering you can find many similar options around for cheaper. But it was kind of a last minute booking so we didn’t have much of a choice. And the room was comfortable also, so it wasn’t so bad.
Staff was very nice and helpful, they also have a spacious lounge with a great view of Cairo. Rooms also have great views from their balcony, very nice to catch sunsets from there. And Nikki (a dutch guest and the one responsible for bringing us to the hostel) was super nice and let me use her bed after we had already checked out and had to wait for our night train.

NetherlandsMain reason to go to another hostel: awful mattrasses. It felt like getting piercings in your back. There seems to be a policy of putting doors and windows open to let the wind through. Cool if you are cleaning, but not when you are having breakfast. Window in the room broke open in the middle of the night due to wind. Needs repair and not just an improvised fix.
Central location near Tahrir square and Talaat Harb on the 16th floor of Marouf tower (2 entrances, take the one closest to Marouf street). Advantage is the street noise is distant. Staff who checked me in, acted routinely, but correct. Nice view from the communal room. Breakfast okay.

IrelandWas perfect for us
We were looking for a place to spend the night in Cairo and get the Go Bus very early in the morning. Station is 5 mins walking. Place was spotless, with a great view, we booked private room with private bathroom and was spot on, good wifi, nice commun areas where you can get coffee and tea and fridge. We request private transfer from Cairo Airport and Ibrahim look after us, organized everything, perfect communication before getting to Cairo and also during our stay, driver was outside waiting for us, friendly man, took us to the Hostel, no problem at all. Room was big, clean, a/c working perfectly, big closet, hot water for shower, soap, shower gel. Man in reception Mustafa, very polite, friendly, he did offer to get breakfast earlier if we wanted, he also helped me to get the tickets for the bus. Good money exchange rate Hostel is very close to the Museum We were happy ( specially with the view from our room) and we will stay there again This Hostel is very close to a Main busy road so you can hear a city movie. We dont care abt it cos we love to feel the city

PolandWhat I absolutely love about this place is its vibe! I spent here 7 days and then I came back because of the people working here. They are responsible and helpful, every morning they start conversations with a smile and a coffee. The view from the rooms is astonishing, the location of the hostel makes it a perfect stay. I can highly recommend this place!!
