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.).

GermanyHmmm, nothing to be honest. They didn't have their own laundry, but I can't say I disliked that, there was a laundry 5 minutes from there so nothing critical Oh sh!t yeah mosquitos!!! These buggers were active as hell, but nothing the hostel is responsible for
The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the breakfast service was on point and the amenities were the cleanest I've seen so far in Egypt

The location is excellent, with convenient food and shopping nearby. The service attitude is very serious and responsible. You can also rest in the hotel lounge area after checking out. Mr. Mahad at the front desk has a warm and lovely smile from the bottom of his heart. The staff is very patient and will answer every question you ask them. Patiently help you solve the problem

United KingdomThere was a smell of stale/stagnant water at one end of the room. We booked a twin room with two beds, there were three in the room, but only two of the beds had been cleaned. There were stains on one. The hook on the back of the door for the towels was poorly mounted and kept falling out. There was a carpet in front of the toilet, but the moment you run a shower it just gets sopping wet as there is no shower curtain and water covers the whole bathroom (which is not unique to this hostel, it was universal in every place we stayed at in Egypt). We got eaten alive by mosquitos. The door to the balcony doesn't close properly, and in any case wasn't sealed (old wooden door) so even if it had they would have been able to get in (if they're coming from outside). Generally clean, but felt like it could use a deep clean.
The hostel is well located in the heart of downtown cairo, so a good place to access stuff from like transport, food etc. The staff were really nice and friendly, and shout out them for finding my headphones that I left when checking out and giving them back.

BelgiumPoor WiFi with frequent disruptions. Broken shower. But the dissapointing highlight was that one of the receptionists (dark skin, curly hair) tried to really dupe us into buying a tour package. He was extremely helpful at first trying to convince how our itinerary was completely flawed and had a lot of issues. However, we decided to follow our gut feeling and ignore his advice. Now, after the trip, we are realising he gave us completely wrong info regarding availability/prices of trains/buses. It might be that he was completely unaware and wanted to genuinely help us but after spending so many days in Egypt it just seems to be another attempt of scammy up-selling. I'd request the hotel management to reprimand such behaviours. Use caution. Be aware. That's all I'd say I guess.
Location and breakfast was great.

PolandI wouldn't say so many bad things, but.. we were tricked. We booked a trip from the hotel and then we spoke with other people (on that trip) and they paid 35$ per person less! Soo...if you're planning to go on any trips book it with other places. NOT with the hostel. Also, breakfast could be different sometimes. It's the same thing every day. The shower was dropping... instead of actually working Extremely noisy from the street, difficult to sleep
Beds were comfortable
