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.).

Czech RepublicI'm comparing two 5* hotels in Marsa Alam and this one is not a 5* hotel, it's potentially 3,5. The food at breakfast was sufficient but of low quality and we found hair and stains on the bedsheets and curtains. The beach was small and trying to walk to nearby patches of the beach meant interacting with rude security guards - even when walking on the shore.
Spacious property and room and well maintained grounds. Pleasant staff. Well located in Port Ghalib.

United KingdomProperty feels a little disjointed, it’s spread out and lacks suitable signage. It’s not as clean or modern as you would expect for a regular Radisson Hotel. Breakfast was much better when it was a Sunrise hotel, lunch was ok, the snack bars were very limited but good, we only ate dinner once in the paid for Italian restaurant opposite reception and it was not as good as the restaurants in the port with the same price point.
Reasonably good location, small port but nice for area

NetherlandsThere is Night Club next door, so this is a bit inconvenient if you like it calm. I got a great Upgrade to a Suite, so they meant well. I complaint to the GM at Check-Out they invited me to my Roomservice Bill and a Lunch at the A la Carte Restaurant, which was amazing.
Good breakfast, great a la Carte Restaurant and very friendly stuff.

CanadaOne of the staff at the excursions desk pushed over priced tours and kept telling me we were getting a great deal. It didn't feel like he had our best interest at heart. On the other hand, Aishe was very honest and found solutions for us when our flight was cancelled.
The buffet breakfast had a ton of variety. The layout of the property was beautiful and ensured quiet rooms. They gave us a free room upgrade which meant extra room and a separate bedroom - very appreciated. The kids loved the water slides and pool. The snorkeling trip was super fun - we saw many giant sea turtles.

EgyptPerfect location & extremely family friendly. The hotel staff are fantastic & so helpful. The children loved the food & the water park. Our junior suite was very spacious & we could walk directly from our room to the pool. We were driven to & from the beach even though it is a 5 minute walk away. The hotel owns the best part of the beach & we were waited on throughout the day. The house reef is truly spectacular, the beach area is so clean & the life guards ensure the reef is well respected by visitors. I have never seen so many people join in with yoga, fitness classes & volleyball on the beach. There is even a bowling alley! I particularly like the clientel this hotel attracts. This is definitely one of the best family holidays we ever had.

GreeceOld hotel and old equipment in the room. All beverages are Egyptian and weren't so good at least for my taste. Cutlery, glasses and cups need updating.
The room was quiet, very big and the bed was comfortable. I also liked the balcony with the pool view. Wi-fi is available everywhere, in the room, at the water park as well as the beach. Wide variety of food and sweets for every taste. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice events every night.

LuxembourgOutdated furniture in the rooms, beds placed underneath air conditioning (so either you turn it off and have to face the heat, or turn it on and freeze), we had the all-in option and were really disappointed by the lack of variety in the menu (no Egyptian dishes apart on oriental night) and the quality of the beverages. Proximity of the Red Club which offers parties twice a week until 3am is to be taken into consideration when you have a room just above it. No information was provided to us about the animation team's activities upon check-in, but we understand they had only just started.
The hotel is modern, well maintained and clean. We got upgraded to a marina-view double room (which was huge), and were informed about the bar underneath it playing music until 12 pm every night - which was no issue for us. Staff was very helpful throughout our stay (complementary shower room arranged at check-out) and we also enjoyed the paying facilities provided: hammam, beautician & massages. The beach is a short walk away, comfy sunbeds and clean towels provided, the bathing area is a bit restrictive because of the corals and many people are snorkelling at the same spot - felt like in a jam at times but the fishes you see and the underwater world all make it worthwhile. It was a bit quieter at the pool area, where we enjoyed some actives offered by the animation team of the hotel.

EgyptDespite the good quality for the food and the effort done to make it taste good as it should, the drinks are far lagging behind, all juices despite being artificial, lack any proper taste for what it should taste like for a specific juice, even the cola, all need special attention The aqua park has limited varieties for the slides with remarks on 2 of the 5 slides there, the swirly one doesn’t have the slope required to gain enough momentum to keep going on it, ppl hault during their descent. The green slide to the opposite sides needs maintenance regarding the weldings between its parts as its a bit bumpy and isn’t comfortable to ride
Location was nice, the beach has a tiny sandy breach that gives an access to the open water and a beautiful view for the corals. The room was spacious, furniture was ok, furniture in lots of hotels might need renovations but not this one, had a misunderstanding at my arrival regarding the type of room an number and type of beds that was conveniently solved. Mr. Ibrahim and Mr. Mahmoud were very helpful at fixing these issues, in addition granted an early access to the room which I’m thankful to. The food was tasty, and this means a lot, u may have a wide variety of food but with a low grade quality, the food offered at the main restaurant and at the pool/beach snacks were all tasty, I liked the chef for the effort done to present food. Aqua park is fun, life guards are very attentive
