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 KingdomA little tired in places. Some refurb needed. No alcohol in the bar meant we tended to venture out in the evenings. The square in front of the hotel was noisy at the weekend late at night. ( not the hotels fault!!)
It was in a great location for getting about in Cairo to all the sights. Pyramids, museums, downtown and the Nile all within short cab rides. Breakfast was great, the staff were very welcoming and helpful.

United KingdomOur room was noisy - though the hotel is not on the main street, the windows are not well isolated. We were on the 2nd floor and we were able to hear everything that was happening outside, so it was difficult to sleep. We were expecting sleepers and robes, but they were not in our room. The pillows were large and uncomfortable, however, when we asked the staff whether they had other types of pillows available, they did bring smaller ones. I only wish I asked that straight away rather than after a few days. The rooms are a bit dusty and a bit dated. There is some misunderstanding regarding the items left on the table rather than thrown away - I bought a large piece of cake in hotel's cafe and only managed to eat half of it before going out, so the rest was left in its box on the table. Unfortunately, when I returned, the room was cleaned and there were no cake. I assume the staff thought I did not want it anymore and removed it when cleaning the room.
Somehow I booked this hotel for 2025 rather than 2024, and when we arrived to the hotel in May 2024 around mid night, the manager was not able to find our booking at first, and only after a while found it and explained the situation. He was not able to resolve it as, according to him, the hotel was fully booked. However, when I tried to modify the year on my booking.com reservation, a room was available and was cheaper than in 2025 :), so I was able to easily modify my booking by making a few clicks. Many thanks to booking.com for this!!! It would be a horrible start otherwise. Polite staff, nice hotel and tasty breakfast available from 6am each day, which was helpful as we had excursions starting at 7am. Large room. Shower facilities near the swimming pool, which was great especially during our last day, as we were leaving in the evening and it was +42 outside.

Saudi ArabiaLocation was in Dokki which is so how in the old town so I have to be prepared and have an idea about the neighbourhood. It wasn’t bad actually but some will think it’s scary but it’s not. Plus it’s a bit expensive
To be honest I was surprised by how neat and will maintained. The room was spacious, clean and most of the rooms have a view on the pool which was an add to this hotel although I didn’t use it. The staff were cooperative and try to help as much as the can so thank you for that. They take security for real and will not allow any suspicious activity in the hotel so it’s a family atmosphere

United StatesWe surprised that such a high end hotel would turn out to be dry: there is no bar on site or availability of wine, beer, or spirits.
The Safir Hotel is a well managed and maintained "5 star" hotel in Cairo. It is run by a Middle Eastern chain rather than one of the big western name brands, which seemed to be reflected in slightly lower pricing. Rooms were comfortable, breakfast plentiful, and facilities nice.
