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.).

MalaysiaI personally prefer the breakfast could be served earlier like at 7:00-7:30am. If that could be arranged that will be great.
- the staff’s hospitality. The staff is very friendly and welcoming us. - the room and the bathroom are clean and well maintained. - the breakfast is super great. I love the green round food (don’t know the name, photo attached).

CroatiaCairo Hub is the hostel you want to book if you are looking for accommodation in Cairo! We had an amazing time here. The room was superb (big and clean), the shared bathroom was very clean, the breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly, helpful and kind. The hostel is quite small, with only few rooms, which is great because it was very quiet and not crowded in bathroom. We booked a room for two. They provided towels, toilet paper, soap and hairdryer in the bathroom. The lady prepared breakfast for each traveler - you get eggs, cucumber, bread, cheese and jam. Nothing much, but it was fine. You have free coffee and tea available. The location of the hostel is excellent, near shops and metro station. Overall, for us this was one of the best hostel we have been to.

QatarPaid bathroom towel and buy own Water bottle but in minor price still it's Nice. Room is triple Bed and good for family but it don't have closet or Cupboard or Coffee table
The Hotel have a private room with City view (Al Tahrir Square) option. 2nd they have dormitory beds option.(Educated Youngsters) Staff is English and Arabic speaking. Walking steps from National Museum. It's next to KFC. They have Unisex bathroom and Toilets. If you are couple I advise for Room and if you are solo or all men then Dorm is also good option. They also serve local breakfast, which also nice. Only you have to bring your own Towels or Paid towel service available as well. Water and Soft Drinks at your own cost! My overall experience is awsome with them. They also accept card payments online pre-booking payment .

The beds in the mixed dorm are just like a private room - great privacy and very comfortable. The included breakfast was simple but delicious. Location is exceptional- right on El Tahrir Square.

Great location just around the Tahir square, walking to Egypt Museum only takes 5 mins. And walking to Go Bus station 10 mins. Athough it's Hostel, but there are cabins so you don't actually see other peoples bad, so privacy wise this point is great. Breakfast is great. Staff is friendly with all the useful information sharing.

EcuadorMy room was cold. But nothing that I could not solve. If u had questions or any requirements better to talk with the women in charge. Boys there usually lazy and entitled.
The view is amazing and is near the metro station which makes this place a must. Aya. A girl in the reception needs a raise. She was always trying to help, support and ask questions. Solving every little problem or answering all questions that may arise. Ruth the woman whomis in charge of the cleaning and breakfast was amazing too. Btw Bed was very confortable.

RussiaIf you are sensitive to cars noise, maybe it could be a problem - the traffic is as in Cairo). We asked breakfast to go. It was at 2.30 am. I was rather sleepy to check what were we given. For three people we’ve got 3 halfs of bread with potato, 3 half’s of bread with cheese and 2 small boxes with olives (why not three?🫣). I saw a lot of eggs in a kitchen, gams - nothing of this we’ve got. That was strange. But in general this is not a priority I assume…
The atmosphere in a hostel is perfectly “right”. Clean bathroom. Great location in a city centre close to the Egyptian museum. City view from a balcony was nice.
