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 room and the bathroom were very clean, and Ahmed and his cousins are doing a fantastic job with this guesthouse. It was very nice to have tea/coffee on the terrace and there is a big fridge where you can store your water and some snacks. Ahmed is super nice and very helpful in everything you need e.g ., he organised for us airport transfer for a very good price etc. The guesthouse is a bit difficult to find if you arrive in the evening, look for a dark metal door near the football pitch.

This is a great place to stay in Aswan. The room is nice with comfortable beds. The facilities are clean and the shower has plenty of hot water. Ahmed was a fantastic host, doing everything to make sure we had a good stay. He provided extra blankets when it was cold and a hair dryer. He also arranged a great trip to Abu Simbel for us. We would certainly stay again. A very good place to eat, only five minutes walk away, with excellent, freshly cooked Egyptian food is Kana Kato.

CanadaI was going to give a "10" for this property, but I am taking 1 point off. The owner asked three times to give him a nice review - twice during our last night there, and another time after we left. I would have been happy to write nice things about his place on my own. Hopefully, this feedback would be helpful for Ahmed in the future. :)
Excellent value to stay in Aswan - rooms are new and comfortable, very clean, safe, easy to find near the public ferry dock. The owner Ahmed is always prompt in replying to messages before the arrival and makes communication easy. The property is located in a real part of the village from where it is easy to start walks and explore the island and village life. Tea packets and electric pot (and cups) are available for guests to use in a shared kitchenette. There is a rof-top terrace with very nice views over the Nile and West bank. Overall, very nice and enjoyable place to stay.

Czech RepublicI was hard to find the hotel on the island. If possible a sign would be great.
The hotel is located on an Islands in the Nile, from the hotel you have an amazing view on Aswan. In addition, the hotel is located in a beautiful little village where we had a wonderful morning walk. The room was tidy, big bathroom, nothing negative to say. All you need was available. Then the host was great, he helped us find our way to the hostel, welcomed us and was available in case of need.
