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 shower tray in the ensuite bathroom did not contain the water, so it spilled onto the floor. Disappointed that the roof terrace was not open and seems only to be used December to March.
The staff were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, including arranging transport. Location is very central.

Great hostel type lodgings but with private rooms. Very close to the Egyptian Museum, Zamalek, and a number of amazing places!

NetherlandsThe facilities were a bit old, especially the stairway going up. The lights in the room were very bright/white, would prefer some more cozy lighting.
The room was clean and quiet at night. The bed was very comfortable. Warm shower, very warm if you want even. The staff were very friendly and we were happy we could store our luggage after we checked out and had to wait until our evening flight.

I had my purse stolen in Cairo. I was at a loss but this hotel staff all helped me a lot. especially the owner gave me useful suggestions and one woman staff, Nada, she gave me some foods and water free because I had no money, no credit cards then. it must be their great kindness that I could enjoy to go on traveling after that. thanks Nabil and Nada and every other staff.

United KingdomHard to find fault at this very decent price.
The owner and staff were very helpful, friendly, and cheerful. My days started with the ring of gentle laughter over breakfast and the atmosphere throughout my stay was unfailingly pleasant and welcoming. The hotel offers good-value private tours with relaxed, patient drivers in new, well-maintained cars – a rare find in Cairo and I highly recommend them.

United KingdomAlthough the entrance to the building is not very appealing, the place is convenient and ticks the boxes for a short stay. We would have appreciated a kettle in the bedroom..
We have liked the location near the Egyptian museum, the welcome and the help we got to organise our trip to various sites and the airport. The host is friendly and helpful. The place is clean and comfy.

United StatesOverall, we had a pleasant stay. However, there are some details that need improvement: Toilet paper seemed to be in short supply. We had to go to the front desk for more each time (we were there 5 days) There was no daily housekeeping - but this is common in a post-COVID world, but it would have been nice to have 3 light bulbs out - Not a big deal, but routine checks of the room would have remedied this. Non-English speaker at front desk - Sorry, but this was important to us! Driver sleeping at front desk sofa at 7 am - This was quite strange! Noise from downtown street - Nothing they could really do about this, but it was the "cost" of being in a great location! Slow WiFi Smoke smell in hotel despite being nonsmoking. Allowed in lobby
