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.).

SpainI chose a room with private bathroom which was big and comfortable but the toilet was always wet and humid. However, they confirmed that they are planning to do some renovation works in their facilities to improve the quality of the rooms.
The location is great, very close to the Egyptian museum. The staff is very nice and helpful. I was allowed to check-in before time which I appreciated a lot.

RomaniaShower cap was broken, could not close one of the woden widow because of missing knob handle, old carpet should be removed at all.
Very cozy accomodation in the hearth of Cairo(close of many turistic places). We went with 2 children and they loved it. We had a large room with 4 beds. Even if there are things that could be improved and the building looks old and bad on the first floors, the room was clean, safe and we stayed very comfortable. We liked the large terrace and the white pigeons. Good internet connection and very friendly owners. Thank you for everything.

RomaniaThe spaces seem a but improvised, mattresses on the hallways, gives a feeling of a temporary establishment, but the rooms are clean and beds comfortable.
The Hostel is really well located, although the entrance might be a turn off for many people. Not minding that, you understand it’s a safe place. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Definitely a good value for the money.

JapanI can't express my gratitude enough. I really think this hostel is very kind to me, as they kindly responded to me [anytime you are ready] even late at night, asked me to leave my luggage after check-out, and even helped me charge my battery when my cable was broken. They called a cab to the airport for me. Price 110egypt pond

ChinaMy room had an odour of cigarette smoke and I lived with that for three days. Even worse, opening the window is not a good idea because the room is inward facing sewer pipelines and walls instead of the streets. I can’t imagine what (cat/mouse/etc) would pop up and sneak in to surprise me when Im sleeping. It’s better to set some rooms exclusively for non-smoking allowed. That’s the only pragmatic and zero cost advice I want to mention for such a competitive accommodation choice.
Located in the old downtown and near to Metro, Museum and Nile. The staff are nice. Good view from the rooftop. Sanitary condition is ok.

SwedenIt did get quite cold inside in winter and the showers and toilets are in the same space so they get all wet (but that happens often in Egypt).
Great location and great staff! View from the balcony is really nice. Good areas to hang out with other inhabitants.

United KingdomMy first room was very rundown. The traffic noise was also so bad I couldn’t sleep - obviously not their fault but beware that street noise, honking, etc. will continue until 2 am and the street facing rooms (which most of them are) will be loud. Also, they could do more to keep pigeons away from the covered rooftop where they serve breakfast and/or get the typical hotel style buffet serving dishes to ensure food is 100% covered when not being accessed by a guest.
Staff were super friendly and very accommodating. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean.
