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 KingdomMyself and partner travelled around Egypt for 4 weeks so got a good feel for the availability of many types of accommodation, cruise/resort/booking.com and Airbnb. I can honestly say Nuba Tod Abuda was were we felt most relaxed and free from any hassles. We were able to recuperate, turn off totally and chill from our various travels, a major part of this was due to Abouda himself, who is a fantastic communicator and fluent in many languages, including English due to being so well traveled. Abouda kindly accepts you into his home and makes you feel welcome like a returning friend, he is aware what a traveler needs and is well able to provide for your needs, topped with delicious Nubian recipes, large portions of deliciousness! We also went out on his beautiful boat to the botanic gardens which I highly recommend, really memorable trip on the Nile to impressive green sheltered gardens. There is so much to do on Elaphantine Island,the only regret we have is that we did not stay longer. Shall come back again for a longer stay as the place is so comfortable and well equipped, especially the balcony, brilliant space and view. Big thanks again Abouda, you are the Host with the mostest :)

Perfect location on Elephantine Island. Mohamed is a perfect host, who can arrange trips if you want, and also provide suggestions on what to see and where to eat on the island and in the area in general. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. It's also a nice place to experience Nubian hospitality, culture, and food. It's very close to the public ferry to get back to the city centre, but the location on the river makes it a relaxing, peaceful place to stay away from the city as well. We would happily come back here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Aswan.

China1. Location: on the isle in the river where there are some local restaurants with balcony. It’s lovely to have meals and shisha by the river 2. Host: the host arranged daya trips and the next day’s transport for me, I hesitated first but the price is quite fair in comparison to online platforms. Communication is easy with him as he speaks English fluently 3. Room: sparkling clean and has basically everything needed for one night. Beddings are comfortable and clean as well with good smell.

United StatesI had an amazing time at Nuba Tod guest house! Originally, I booked for just 2 days, but I couldn't resist extending my stay for one more day. This place is spotless, and every morning, I woke up to the soothing sounds of birds and waves. Then, I headed up to the rooftop for my daily dose of yoga. Let me tell you about the owner, Abouda. He's an absolute gem. As a solo female traveler, I truly appreciated how he'd give me a call to ensure I was safe if I happened to return late at night. It felt like being with family. I can't recommend this place enough! It's a real hidden gem. 😊🌴🏠

United Arab EmiratesI liked how clean the place is, also there's a rooftop with a nice view of the Nile where you can chill. Place is also close to the boat in the island. The owner is really nice and helpful. He will assist you in whatever you need, and would go out of his way to help you. He has tour packages which has a good price and competitive pricing. We booked 1 night here, but then decided to extend 2 more nights. Has also strong wifi. You would feel at home on this place. Highly recommended!

Abouda is an amazing host, he made our trips to Egypt a truly memorable one. He organized our trips to Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, boat trips to another Nubian village, and an amazing felucca ride from Aswan to Kom Ombo. Abouda’s brother Ali was our captain on the felucca and was as friendly and knowledgeable as his brother. We sailed during the day along the Nile, and slept on the boat under the stars, a really incredible trip! The guesthouse is located on Elephantine Island, where farmers work in the fields, kids play in the sandy streets, and donkeys roam around. The island is extremely charming in its authenticity, and we loved having dinner in the restaurants near the guesthouse. Connection with the mainland couldn’t be easier, with boats going back and forth every ten minutes.

United StatesMohammed is a wonderful host--he checked with us throughout our travels to make sure we were able to find the way and he also helped us set a good price for the taxi from the airport to the ferry. His guest house is beautifully made, with vibrant colors and a welcoming arrangement. We had everything we needed. Mohammed also welcomed us with tea on the roof and joined us to talk more about the area before suggesting where we could go for a late night snack and beer. We wish we had planned to stay longer.

SingaporeNuba Tod is on Elephantine island with a different vibes from the Aswan city and where Nubian people live. I felt welcomed from the time I arrived. I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooftop has amazing sunrise & sunset views. There are also a few restaurants nearby, even one next to the guesthouse with friendly staff. Mr. Abouda was super helpful in organizing last-minute trips for me: trips to Philae temple, Abu Simbel, and a private transfer to Luxor. Thank you, Abouda!
