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.).

New ZealandPerfect trip to Dahab. Was super fortunate to run into a lot of cool people that all shared a passion for diving and spending more time in the sea than on land. I know a trip back here in the near future . Highly recommend mucking in their daily activities that keep you busy.

United KingdomThey've definitely got the family vibe going on here which makes it easy to meet other travellers. I stayed both in the dorms and the private room. Dorms were comfy and you have a locker outside. Hot water if you need it. Private room was spacious and the bed was big and comfy, you also get to use the washing machine for free which is a bonus! Breakfast was free as well.. lots of freebies in this place!! A little bit of modernisation is the only thing thats missing. The doors and windows are quite old so can be a little loud but not exactly life ruining! But for the price you pay 100% worth it. Really enjoyed it here, lots of space to relax and to work/do yoga or a bodyweight workout If your someone wanting to meet people this is the place They organise daily activities and all the staff are awesome. Thanks team!

cute little oasis of comfortable spaces, nice people and cool activities =) A huge lot of positive energy there; they got a good concept and the staff stands behind it. special thanks go out to Karim the event manager who not only organized very nice trips and events, but also helped me book everything, from a massage over transport to even another accommodation!

Plus, what truly sets this place apart are the engaging activities they offer. I can't recommend Rafiki enough for travelers seeking not only comfort but also a vibrant and sociable environment!

Czech RepublicMost of the guests in the dorms were teenagers, so I’m happy I stayed in a private room. But the activities were not fitting my profile (34 yo), majority of kids seemed happy though.
I lived in a private room and that was good for my solo traveling. Dahab is very safe so regardless the location (not center center) it was fine and I believe it benefited in costs. Air conditioning in the room. The hostel has a WhatsApp chat for those who stay in and you can join other guests for activity or organize yours.

Egypti didn't like the fact that i had to walk a bit into a side street - wish i was on the main road. coupled with no ability to buy even water or coffee in the hotel - have to walk to supermarket. bigger hotel sign needed to find it more easily, but many taxi drivers already know it. i didn't like the family of cats right outside my door, but they were clean and cute and joyful for others - i just don't like animals in my room, and the cats kept trying to enter like they're used to it. i was excited about the pool but it was so small it felt too intimate with others in it. if they added a restaurant or even a vending machine, it would be profitable i'm sure with such an active hostel community.
love the community feel, the variety of places to hang out and meet others in the hostel. i am mostly introverted, but there were NO awkwardness, intrusiveness, or sleazy single guys. everybody is respectful and friendly, and minding their own business at the same time. staff are plentiful, responsive, and super helpful, every one of them. nobody begged me to leave a good review. nobody bothered me in any way. it was amazing! the housekeeping is top notch, bathrooms are clean, and those ladies are so helpful. the breakfast was great, but quick to finish.

ItalyNo mountain view from the room, as per mentioned in the listing :( Location wise, it's not centrally located or next to the seaside, but Dahab is a small village, so everything is at walking distance
The room was a double room with a shared bathroom and kitchen. It was very clean and with a good AC. It also had a little balcony. The hostel has different buildings with many facilities, and the staff is really friendly and takes the effort to take care of everyone.

I have stayed at many hostels around the world and this is definitely one of the best. Staff are really friendly and will go the extra mile to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Shout out to DJ Naz...life isnt the same without afrobeats at breakfast. I stayed in a 4 person dorm. The room was small but had a fridge and bathroom inside which was great. The bed was really comfy and had privacy curtains, personal powerpoint and reading lamp. Aircon in the rooms was great. The hostel is big but spread out over many buildings, each with their own rooftop for hanging out with amazing views. This means the hostel never feels crowded. The pool area is great for cooling down during the day and has a large kitchen and common area attached. Breakfast was good and varied. Activities happening all day every day so you will never be bored or feel lonely. I can't recommend this place enough.
