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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

TaiwanIt's noisy, but I think everywhere in Cairo is the same. WiFi is very very slow. Don't expect too much for the room. The elevator was not quite reliable.
It's okay for the price. Location is good and convenient.

JapanThe staff members were often smoking and chatting on the sofas in the reception area, but it felt intimidating, so I thought it would be better to change that.Also, the location of the hotel was difficult to find.
Good location and easy to move around.

NetherlandsWhat I don’t like about the property is that when we plan our tour with them they weren’t honest enough about the cost and what it included. I wasn’t happy about it. But for the rest the stuff were great.
It’s close to everything.

The bed was really soft and comfortable with nice wall painting.

Try to avoid Egypt, but if you are going to visit anyway, please choose real stars, chain hotels I don’t know how it has rate more than 8, i would say 4 is a maximum.

TanzaniaThe hotel is very noisy and not well furnished. The bed was noisy - the blanket was dirty, the towels were ripped and belonged to a hospital in the past (it was embroidered on it). For breakfast it was an extra oily one egg omelet per person And my child had to share my plate 🍽️ the first day. I don't know how this hotel was graded as the reviews really didn't reveal the reality of this place.the lady at the reception during the day was ALWAYS on her phone telling me she is with her boss...if this is the caSe her boss should let her work. Would not recommend this place -even for free.
Nothing really ! Only Abdullah from the night shift was trying to make our stay comfortable. Special thanks to him for his dedication to his work.

SpainWhat I absolutely loved about Abdeen Cairo Hostel is how it perfectly combines comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. The property itself is well-maintained, with clean and cozy rooms that made me feel right at home. The common areas are thoughtfully designed, offering a great space to relax or chat with fellow travelers. The location is another major highlight—situated in the heart of Cairo, it’s close to iconic landmarks, shops, and restaurants, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. Despite being so central, the hostel feels peaceful and secure, which was a huge plus. One of my favorite features was the small but lovely touches, like the fresh breakfast each morning and the welcoming atmosphere throughout the property. It’s clear the team takes pride in creating a comfortable and memorable experience for every guest. And of course, I have to mention Abdullah, who made my stay unforgettable with his warm hospitality and attention to detail. It’s properties like this that make traveling so enjoyable!
