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.).

AustraliaThey were building a big garden right in front of the hotel with many dump truck deliveries which resulted in a lot of dust and noise while we were there. The WiFi was slow and was not working in our rooms. The location is far from restaurants and the city.
We liked the hotel. It had great views looking over the water! It was very close to the temple. Breakfast was included for us and was great. We had dinner there too and it was good food.

UkraineI have nothing to say in the negative context. I love this place and the people who work here. The hotel absolutely matched my expectations and gave me even more than I wished for this trip.
Amazing location! Super friendly and polite staff. We enjoyed an amazingly delicious local lunch after the city observation. The hotel is located in a fantastic and authentic place at the riverside. This place is highly recommended for a short stay to see the Philae Temple.

AustraliaThe neighbouring streets cleanliness.
Fantastic Nubian style house hotel with amazing views. We Aussies -found the tranquillity of this location welcome after busy tourist filled daily adventures in Aswan surrounds, especially the rooftop at sunset. Sied, the Wanas family and their employees are lovely, humble and hospitable. Breakfast is generous. We fully recommend having dinner onsite. Mama Wanas's cooking was the most authentic food we experienced in our 3 weeks in Egypt, (especially Molokia). A shout out also to their drivers including Abdul for all the fun trips and your patience. Tania and Louis.

TaiwanThe view from our room was fantastic! You can see the Nile river with beautiful sunset. With this view, there is absolutely no need to stay in other expensive accommodations! Mr Wanas is a super nice person, he offered very nice price for boat to Philae temple and helped us deal with taxi driver (and found us a taxi driver with fair charge). At last he even bought us some local dessert which was super delicious!

Amazing experience staying one night in Wanas Kato. After our cruise arriving to Aswan we decided to stay one more night and it was a fantastic decision, staff is friendly, rooms as expected and comfortable and the BEST VIEW of the sunset from all Aswan. They also offered us a delicious dinner. Run be a Nubian family who all they want to make your stay enjoyable. I would recommend this place to everyone visiting Aswan.

SpainThe shower didn't have any shower curtain so the bathroom floor got very slippery with splashes. Due to the closeness to the motorboats, the air sometimes smelled of engine oil.
It is located right by the port where the motorboat to Philae Temple are stationed. The hotel served us a nice Egyptian lunch and dinner quickly when we asked, arranged for our airport transport punctually, even served us hot coffee and gave us a breakfast box when we checked out at 3am. Only one person there spoke English, and with the rest of the staff we communicated with a translation app.
