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 StatesThe room I had on my way on, located at the upper floor (305), was not particularly comfortable. It was not renewed, the restroom was old and the water from the shower came out with some difficulty.
I like the room I had on my way back (n. 205). It was recently renewed, the bed was particularly comfortable. I appreciated the outlet to recharge devices with international sockets. However, a bad smell often comes out from the water system in the restroom.

Great 2 star hotel. Nothing negative to point out. The personal is available at all time and very nice, the room is very correct, clean and quiet. Located in the “rich” area, it guarantees a reassuring stay, with many restaurants and shops around. I can only recommand it for a visit of Cairo

GreeceThere was practically no wifi (except the reception maybe). We had a problem with the hot water but the staff changed our room immediately.
Stayed for two nonconcequtive days. The hotel is located in Zamalek, which is quite a plus since it is maybe the only relatively quite place in Cairo. It has all the basics, nothing fancy but it works well. Staff is helpful and professional. Overall we had a positive experience despite some minor problems.

GreeceThe hotel is quite old-fashioned. We didn't mind a lot as we didn't spend much time there other than to sleep and it ticked other more important boxes (comfort, room size, cleanliness, staff).
The location of the hotel is excellent, in the middle of Zamalek, next to metro (3 mins on foot), lots of restaurants and bars. The hotel is located in a typical '60s building and offers very quiet rooms despite it being in a busy street. We loved the big room, the very comfortable bed and excellent mattress. It is very clean and the staff very helpful and polite. Overall, a very decent choice when you visit Cairo.

LebanonSome important items which makes the stay comfortable are not available in the room like the microwave, tissues papers . The shower needs to be fixed and should switch easily between shower and bathtub. One of the major things which I did not like is their restrictions in allowing residents of meeting their guests in their room or in the hall near the room although they can insist on asking guests to show their passports and even register them . Their gender policy and preventing the different gender of visiting you in your room or area near your room even if they are your relatives is very primitive and at the end when I met only once my relatives in the hotel it was very uncomfortable , and at the end , we moved to a cafe in Zamalek
Horus is in a good location in Zamalek. The hotel is very clean but needs improvement in introducing some items since the hotel is pricey
