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.).

ChinaThe house is in the west of Nile river, most attractions are in the east side, you should take a boat to the east side.
Host Habibi is a very nice person, he gives us suggestions for our trip in Aswan, and help to ask the charter. The breakfast is walk 3mins away, with riverview.

United KingdomA few mosquitoes in the evening on the terrace but nothing you wouldn’t expect when you next to the river
The location was excellent on the West Bank away from the city but still close The Nubian atmosphere and friendliness of the village was refreshing after the bustle of the city The local ferry only 10 E£ was a 5 minute walk to the guesthouse, don’t get conned with a motorboat for 200E£ on the city east bank as I did ! Habib the owner was really helpful organising trips for me to Abu Simble a private car just for me at a very reasonable rate, a camel ride up to the tombs on the hill and a day trip was to the high dam, Nubian museum and Philae island. All of them were excellent and tailored to me

NetherlandsThe location was a bit tricky. With tours you need to pay extra for pickups. The walls were very thin, so we could hear our neighbours easily.
The owner Habibi was lovely, very helpful, always available. The guesthouse itself was simple, but clean and had everything you needed. When we went to Abu Simbel we got a breakfast to go.

The guesthouse is located on the peaceful and quiet West Bank of Aswan. Habib and his family are super hosts, they're welcoming, honest and friendly. The whole guesthouse and rooms are very clean, it's the cleanest place I stayed in Egypt, the bed is very comfy and the wifi works very well which is rare in the country. The rooftop restaurant has a very nice view, breakfast was lovely, I also tired the Nubian dinner there and it was tasty. I really enjoyed my stay and felt like I was part of the family. I highly recommended staying in this lovely guesthouse if you come to Aswan.

United StatesOur stay at Habibi Nubian House was nothing short of exceptional, starting with a warm and generous upgrade from the owner that set the tone for a memorable experience. The room we were upgraded to very big and comfortable. The attention to creating a "home away from home" atmosphere was evident throughout our stay. There are three beautiful and friendly dogs at the entrance that add a delightful touch to our stay. They always wait eagerly to greet the visitors, enhanced the warm and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view from the terrace overlooking the Nile River. The terrace provided a perfect vantage point for witnessing stunning sunsets and delicious Nubian homemade food. A definite must for anyone seeking a serene and pleasant experience. This house proximity to a public ferry just a few blocks away was a pleasant surprise. The affordability of the ferry made it a convenient option for crossing the river. This not only added to the overall convenience of our stay but also allowed us to explore the area without the hustle and bustle found in more touristy spots. The location of the guest house proved to be an ideal escape from the noise and persistent sellers. I also want to remark the hospitality extended by the owner, Habib. He helped us organizing our tour to Abu Simbel, arranging a private car that ensured a comfortable and personalized experience. The driver was great and very polite. Habib also helped us arrange our transportation to the airport.

CanadaUnfortunately, the options of local places to eat are very limited in the village. For some reason owner's cousin tried to overcharge us for dinner at Habib's sister restaurant, but it was corrected quickly by a phone call to Habib. So, all is OK.
Our room was very comfortable designed by owner Habib with great attention to detail - good size bed, super clean linen, posh towels, two wardrobes (one for hanging clothes and the other to place items on multiple shelves), desk, chair, large window with screens to make the room bright during the day, and a curtain to make toom dark for good sleep. The owner even provided clothes line with clothes pins - accessible directly from our small balcony. Toilet paper, soap, shampoo were also provided in the large bathroom. Our room faced the village square where local kids played during the day, but at night it was very quiet and peaceful. Traditional breakfast cooked by his sister Gigi was delicious and plentiful. Breakfast was served at the near-by property on the roof-top terrace with stunning views over the Nile. We did not have any pressure whatsoever from the owner about the tours, as a matter of fact, we didn't even have any conversations about it - so for us, as experienced independent travellers it created a peaceful psychological environment. We enjoyed the freedom of our own travel plans, and had two very plesant days exploring the surroundings, local villages and desert hikes.

The owner of the hotel helped us a lot for tours to Abu-simbel. Although I had booked it via another tour agency, he contacted the tour guide to make the plan go smoothly. Even after check-out, he allowed us to stay at near guest house and use wi-fi and bathroom to wait for night train. The room, bathroom, entrance everywhere was very neat, It's worth more than the price. He was vert thoughtful person, we had a fun conversation and I learned a lot about Egypt. Dinner was served in the neighbor guest house (1min walk from here) by only 300 EGP by booking before hand (you can book after check in), it was great experience to eat traditional Egyptian cuisine while seeing the view of the Nile.

PolandVery nice place to stay on the left bank of the Nile. Clean, modern, yet having the distinct Nubian style. Good WiFi. Friendly hosts. Nice terrace for the common use with the view on the Nile. If you come by car like we did, there is a safe place to park next to the building. Five minutes walk to the Tombs of the Nobles in Aswan, Dome of Abu Al-Hawa, and a ferry that will take you with all the locals to the right side of the Nile where the rest of the tourist attractions is located. Strongly recommend for those who want to stay away from the 'all inclusive' crowds that select the right bank of the river, as well as for those who want to get a taste of how locals live. Will stay there again when next time in Aswan :) ...

ItalyHabib is a very welcoming, helpful, and kind host, always available to solve any queries. He and his staff made us feel like at home, they went the extra mile to support us with the organization of visits and thanks to it we spent a great time in Aswan. On arrival, he let us choose from two different rooms, we were glad to have one connected to the terrace with a stunning view to the Nile river and the other bank of the city. The hotel has an excellent location, far from the noises of the city and about a ten minute walk from the tomb of nobles and to the public ferry dock. It is very easy and cheap to get there from the ferry boat west bank that is located five minutes from the Aswan railway station. The room was very cozy, it had a comfortable bed, modern AC and the water pressure was good.

Fantastic value. Great location on the opposite side of the Nile to the city - closer to the airport/on the right side. Brilliant communications from the owner at all times and helped to arrange multiple things. Spotless and good-sized rooms. Lovely staff from Abdullah through to the nice cook and breakfast ladies. Good breakfast and evening meals. Felucca and motor boat tours at 2 minutes distance - both very reasonable; ditto camel rides to St Simeon's monastery. Airport pick-up's arranged via Sami by just 10 metres away. Ferry at 5 minutes walk. Possible to swim in river at 10 minutes walk. Even the dogs are friendly. Authentic Nubian setting.
