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.).

We've had an amazing experience at Desert Rose resort. It was even better than we've expected. The atmosphere was great and we felt welcome. The staff was really friendly and kind to us. Big shout out to our housekeeper Hassan who made sure that our room was tidied every day. One of the big highlights of our stay was the Christmas party. A huge party with entertainment and a massive buffet. We had a blast with a lot of the other guests. Great place to mingle and meet new people!

FranceWe asked for 2 double beds and we had one. Then we had one big and one small. Hot water takes 3minutes to come. Spa is good but not like Europe.. only one massage even if you try them all lol. Very energetic and not always relaxing. I tried other hotel and the same, I think Egypt is not a location for spa. Hotel is big so you walk a lot which is good for sport but sometimes too much. Maybe some golf cart like other hotel could be nice when you want to go to reception is a nice idea.
Many activities, games, entertainments a great show every night ! Also very quiet and calm place to enjoy the sun on confortable long chair :) Paddel court, pétanque, gym on the beach, dives, snorkeling… all good :) It is Egyptian standard so it is not European 5 stars but they are always helping you, trying to find solutions and are very kind. Bars and restaurant very nice : Fanoosh great, Palm always good. We didn’t get sick during the stay ! Restaurant in the laggoon is very nice for snack and drinks ! Room is good and nice sea view in the suites. We had great holidays and fun :)

United StatesThe "extra" services people did come to persuade us to buy more stuff on the beach quite often, and pillows could've been better
Stunningly beautiful property with 3 different pools and an entire private lagoon. Too many bars to visit and the all inclusive package is a must. Food and service was top of the line. Front desk helped us organize 2 boat days for scuba diving with the dive shop on the property. Very close to the airport as well but it's a small airport so noise is minimal

India- WiFi signal is available at open areas only. For the price of the resort, it should be available free of cost, everywhere in the property! - My Pool View Room had a problem of water leak near the commode
- Excellent Beach/Lagoon, perhaps one amongst the best in Hurghada - PADI certified SCUBA DIVING CENTRE on site - The Quite Pool is a nice place to chill - Cooperative Staff at all restaurants and bars - Vacation Planners help you plan your Vacation upon arrival. Quite an unique feature - Evening Programs are mesmerizing especially the Mexican singers

United Kingdom- The hotel did not make me aware of the room specifics on check-in - I had to make a complaint as they allocated on my first night a room with a connection door to another room and two single beds. After I made a complaint on the next day I was moved to a very good room. - Not many activities, e.g. more tennis tables and other activities like darts etc. - A lot of tourist agents or spa therapists on the beach were disturbing the guests. Created cold behavior in the guests. - Advice for the receptionists - doesn't matter if the guest looks rich or not, old enough for respect or young - you need to have correct behavior which will create a nice atmosphere (and earn tips) to avoid the staff screaming in native language something and the guest thinking something bad is spoken for them. - The shower water temperature kept on dropping from hot to cold - not very nice but bearable. - Make sure if you extend for a longer checkout - your room cards will be deactivated and need to contact reception - I think is typical for Egypt private resorts but WIFI was not available in all rooms (just superb ones)
- There was a variety of food options and timeframes the main restaurant was opened (I have purchased all-inclusive), and each evening in the main restaurant there was a themed region food selection. Something for everyone, very professional chefs were cooking omelets, pastas, meat, and desserts. Cutting and mixing salads, and cooking in front of the guests in my opinion created a very professional atmosphere. The restaurant was good enough, same as the food. - The beach is incredible, if I could afford to live there all year I would do it! (not everywhere good sand but it's okay) .- Our front desk supporter Helmy made our stay amazing, he was very helpful and really supportive in any queries I had. - The Soda Bar is an amazing place when live music is available. - Very beautiful resort, everywhere flowers and trees with flowers, fairy lights - very romantic place! - There is an Amphitheater - 'The Great Gatsby' spectacle was top of the best! - There is an outdoor gym - very nice and equipped - There was a Tennis court - paid but still nice to have

HungaryWe had an awesome holiday in the Desert Rose Resort, and there are several reasons for that. The wonderful garden, relaxing pools, always clean and comfortable room, the restaurants, diverse food, plenty of choice and last but not least: all staff has been top, the service was exceptional. Everyone went above and beyond to make us and all guests feel welcome and satisfied. Lovely people with smile on their faces, very attentive, it was truly heartwarming! I wish I could remember all of you Guys' names, but huge thanks to Helmy and Anita at Guest Relations, Arafat and Mona at Spa, Sandy at Reception, the Gentleman who guarded us at block 2000, the gardeners, room cleaners, Servers in Palm, Blue Lagoon, Sandbar, Sunset and Tropicana bars, Il Delfino, Fattoosh, Ranchero restaurants, and of course Club Soda staff where we spent most of our evenings. They all took great care of us. Thank you for the truly memorable vacation!

United KingdomThe only small minus was that the Standard double room didn't have access to the Wi-Fi. I've had enough mobile data and it was not a problem for me, but fellow travellers may consider that and book Superior double room with Wi-fi access.
We enjoyed everything in the hotel. The food was delicious and we had a good variety of different food every day. The room was nice and it had AC, which was helpful in the heat. The staff was nice and helpful, they were preparing early breakfast for us before 5AM for our day trips. Special mention to Helmy, who was very helpful and was trying to help us with everything. Thank you very much

TurkeyEverything was wonderful. If I am asked for improvements, there are two areas I would like to change. Ice cream is only available from 12:00-5:00 pm. This is not a huge deal, but it is the main thing we didn’t like. The wifi is not very strong, but we spent most of our time outside enjoying the weather, views, and the pools.
The resort is very beautiful and comfortable. There are 3 main meals and 3 smaller meals. This is very helpful for late arrivals from flights or tours. Everyone was willing to help with anything we needed.
