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 KingdomOur main issue about the property would have to be the cleanliness of the main buffet area, this is something that needs to be looked into. The tables remain sticky and are not cleaned to a high standard once guests have finished eating. There is also no organisation as to when guests enter the eating area. Upon arrival to the entrance, there should be someone there to welcome and explain the procedures of how the eating area works. It was difficult to locate a table for our family of 6 to try and sit together and eat. Some days, it would take up to 15 minute for us to find a table. Some form of basic English should be taught to the staff So that guests can communicate effectively with them. On A personal note, I found the front of house, staff reception, concierge, quite rude at times Again, communication was very poor. Some staff members could not understand or speak English to any sort of standard This was very disappointing considering the hotel claims to be five  Star. Don’t expect much from front of house reception when it comes to extras such as slight late check out each time I ask for anything It was you have to pay an extra $5 $10$15 This is probably the biggest difference between hotels in the UAE and Egypt. They always asks for money for anything a little bit extra could make your stay special  Don’t expect anything above or beyond from this hotel. A recommendation from me is not to use the in-house taxi service, which is very expensive to travel around Sharmel Are used a app called IN drive which is like  Uber and very cheap and easy to use and was very safe when travelling with my family.
Room Size was very good very big and spacious bathroom was a little bit dated but practical. Swimming pools for very big and excellent for the kids. lobby area was very spacious and nice to use it evening. Housekeeping service was very good Kept our room, clean and tidy every day and replenished anything we are
