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.).

SpainThe building of new flats around and a whole complex of apartments being built behind the peaceful and quiet resort. So the reason why people came to this nice and quiet place deprived of concrete will unfortunately not last for long, which is a real shame!!

GermanyI had a fantastic time here! - It is known that Egypt and the Red sea are wonderful but what makes Sharm el Naga special, is the Staff. Starting from M.Mohiey at the reception. Incredibly kind, he helped me with everything included Transfer and Wifi issues. The whole diving team. Waleed, Costa, Abdou, Islam (San Luca), ecc. But the biggest love goes to these three: Høssam, with his 20 years old, he is the youngest Padi Dive Instructor of the Red sea. His english is perfect, he will let you feel comfortable under water as well as on the surface! Sherif, an explosion of joy. He is the Boat captain and an incredible experienced diver. If you are lucky, he let you sit in his Strawberry car. Mamoush, fisherman and father of three wonderful ladies. Amazing diver, always smiling and ready to help you. He brought me the best dates I ever had. - I was lucky to join Sharm el Naga in its original mood, before the huge rebuilding plan. The construction started already. I hope they will keep the staff in its unity cause they are the magic of this place. Without them this became just another Resort on the Red sea. Shokran Habibi <3

SwitzerlandIt may depend on seasons, but as there are diving groups coming from outside too, the buffet (specially at lunch time) can be very full and there can be a crowd of hungry people (not very relaxing dining atmosphere).
Very nice little hotel, which reminds me to lodges/camping in the same time, very relaxing and beautiful beach, specially also for divers and even snorkelling by the beach is possible (you can rent cheap snorkeling mask) beautfiul reefes and fishes. The food was very tasty. very friendly staff. The room was clean and very nice sea view too, perfect for a relaxing short trip and discovering under water nature!

AustriaOur stay was wonderful, just one thing concerning the massage. The first 2 times the boss and a woman did the massage - it was really very good, so my friend decided to take 3 more. The next days the boss did no more massage, but another woman. This was no massage, just like picking, stroking and applying lotion. My friend comlained that she was not content, but the next day the woman did the massage again, whereas he was just sitting in the shadow. So she paid 5 massages and got just 2 real massages
It was my 3rd time at sharm el naga and everything was perfect. The resort is really completely in the bonnies and yes the last kilometer you have to pass a dirt track and there is nothing around just desert. Therefore it s a really charming place, quiet, extraordinary beach, clear water, not crowded, relaxing and easy going. Food is yummy, you always get water, if you want wine for example you have to pay extra, but it s not costly. The whole staff is very friendly and helpful in a decent way and often ready for jokes. The rooms are proper, comfortable and cozy, but not luxery. One thing I ve to mention: we had problems with an uber taxi driver - he wanted more money than booked in the app. When the resort manager was told this, he was already on his way home to Hurghada, he came back, picked us up and took us to Hurghada in his sparetime.

LithuaniaNothing to complain about when you pay this price.
What we liked the most was the area with just a few tourist around. Not crowded at all. Very calm and romantic. The meals the facilities the room is not high-end or 5star hotel like, but its all plenty if you come here for up to a week stay and looking at the price you get more than you pay for in our opinion. I'd consider coming here one more time someday :) The staff is also very kind and helpful.

UkraineNeighboring construction, but this is not a problem of the hotel itself. There may also be problems with how to get to the hotel. We personally had no problems with this. Uber and Careem work. Moreover, you can always order a transfer at the hotel itself.
Just a perfect place for a relaxing vacation :). We were there for only 3 days, but we wanted to stay longer. After reading previous reviews about this hotel, I had mixed impressions. But upon arrival, everything turned out much better than we expected. The man at the reception is just a wonderful person. He quickly registered us, showed us everything on the territory, explained all the details. In the future, he constantly helped us. For example, when I got sick, he very quickly found medicine for me. We were given a room with a sea view. Although the room looks a little outdated, everything is clean and working. The beds are large and comfortable. The refrigerator is working. There are no problems with cold/hot water. We liked the room because it was always quiet and only the sound of the sea could be heard. They came to clean every day. We asked not to clean. Also, you can always ask the cleaner for new towels, toilet paper, gel, shampoo, etc. It was never a problem. Meals: breakfast 8:00-10:00, lunch 13:00-14:00, dinner 19:00-21:00. The food is tasty and quite varied. Breakfast has the same set of dishes, but you can alternate them independently, then breakfast will not get boring. Lunch and dinner are different every day. There is meat (beef and chicken), squid, various salads, side dishes and sweets. We were satisfied with the food. The service staff is very friendly, always helpful. 0.5 l of water per person is given for each meal. The beach is clean, well equipped, the sunbeds are clean. Someone wrote in the reviews that there is a problem with towels after 10:00. Well, this is not true, towels will be brought to you at any time, you just need to ask for them from the employee on the beach. The same goes for permits to swim further beyond the limit line. No one forbade us anything and there are no problems with it at all. The lifeguard came up, explained where the coral reef was, asked if we were good at swimming. Then there were no problems at all.
