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.).

EgyptIt was sometimes difficult to find a free umbrella at the beach. To be sure you get one you need to come really early.
It was my second stay in the Fort. Great place to be with the kids. Beautiful garden, amazing coral reef just off the beach. Good animation and kids club.

EgyptI wish the animation team did ask for permission before taking photos of us (guests) during activities.
An amazing resort with fantastic staff - starting from the check-in process at the reception (Mr. Victor, Mr. Abdel Rahman and Mr. Hatem) to the room cleanliness and size to the swimming pools, the greenery everywhere, the very long extended sandy beach with fantastic inhouse reefs to the beach bar (Abdel Rahman offered a smiley and attentive service), the pizza bar and the main restaurant - everything was very good. The food quality and freshness was very good that my sensitive tummy didn't suffer at all during my stay :) the animation lady that did morning stretching was very good.

United KingdomThe hotel was mostly populated by old Germans who aren't exactly friendly and can be rude. Luckily the younger Germans we met were very friendly.
We liked the buffets which were excellent quality. Gardens are gorgeous and the sea is full of beautiful tropical fish. The entertainment stages were a source of amusement Some were excellent in particular two women soul singers and some were so bad they amused us too but we are English and love irony. It's very gated and after a couple of days it was nice to travel to Luxor and see real Egyptian life.

United KingdomNothing, I loved everything, this place is fast becoming my home away from home.
5 star experience from start to finish. Second stay at Fort Arabesque and everything here is perfect for me. All the staff are the kindest, nicest people you will ever meet, they genuinely love their guests and made a special effort with my daughter. Tamien at the reception bar has made our mornings so much better with his hospitality and amazing coffee. I will really miss every member of staff here. The days are hot but there’s plenty of shade on the beach and around the gardens. The gardeners do a sterling job keeping everything lush, I have to remind myself we are in the desert. It’s beautiful walking around the gardens and organic herb patch. Buggy friendly also. Plenty of bars to stop for a drink! The sunrise on the beach is very special and I have enjoyed snorkelling around the stunning house reefs just meters from the shore. It’s the Red Sea which is usually calm and warm, they don’t have high or low tides here so it’s very safe. If you have kids it’s perfect as there’s lots of kids zones and my daughter loves the kids club and mini disco every day. I enjoyed the daily stretch, pilates, dance and water aerobics classes. The aqua gym class is so much fun with swim up bar… perfection. There are also lots of adult only areas which my mum enjoyed. Very good WiFI and air conditioning. The food and cocktails are also 5 star with lots of options, I am so sad to leave and already looking forward to my next stay at Fort Arabesque.

BelgiumWhen staying at the beach in the adult only part, there weren't many toilets nearby. Most of the buildings felt well maintained, but the arena for the evening shows could use some renovation and the music was played excessively loud during most shows.
The house reef is wonderful and the access is well monitored by the beach guards. Sun beds were comfortable as were the actual beds in our room (albeit a bit on the hard side in the room). The food at the buffet was always tasty and there were plenty of options, only as vegetarians we lacked a bit of options or variety. Hotel reception/management was also very friendly and correct in reimbursing us for a cancelled service where they weren't at fault themselves and had no direct obligation to do so. Overall the hotel felt very secure and all staff were friendly.

BelgiumThe entertainment programma in the Arena could have been better. Our kids (8 years and 10 years old) didn't like the activities in the kids club, it is targeted for much younger children.
Everything! We had the family room; the rooms were clean en spacious. The food was good in every restaurant. The pools were clean and also not crowded. We also liked the house reef, it was very easy for us and the kids to go snorkeling from the beach into the Red Sea (not too deep, easy and safe, ...)

GermanyFYI: The hotel had elderly German people only :/ Not that it mattered that much, but as a young couple we felt like we're at a wrong place. 1. Well, the entertainment was corresponsing. Bad! The evening show was very weak, lasted less than 30 minutes, the stage was dirty. The singers at the bars were also absolutely terrible, no offence. We've been to Turkey last year and entertainment was MUCH better! With club dances, Aqua aerobics, disco at the evening, etc. 2. The food was not that great either. Quite plain and just one a la carté restaurant with very few options and same every day. But nice ambiénte. P.S. Hurgada Airport Terminal 2 is old and tiny. Fast to go through and absolutely NOTHING to do inside.
1. The coral reef was very nice and the entance in the water was perfect! No pier and one can just walk in by sand without any shoes or hassle. 2. The sunbeds are fantastic! Huge beach, loads of private sphere, super comfortable sunbeds and it is not loud aroud! Didn't have to book anything early in the morning or pay to reserve. 3. The territory is nice and green! Quite a lot of different areas, like one with a waterfall. See photos. 4. Everything is perfectly clean. Also the cleaning crew was very attentive. 5. The room is nice - maybe the bathroom is a tiny bit outdated, but perfectly clean and the room is very spacious and the loggia is perfect, with a view to the green territory and sea. Beds are huge and comfortable. A/C does its job. 6. There is a tennis and a paddle court, rackets to play with for a almost symbolic price. We gladly used the opportunity every day! P.S. Definitely opt for a transfer option from Booking - it is very affordable, reliable and safe! Kudos
