Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsThe shower water pressure was not fantastic but they had several showers at the pool area I sometimes used to wash my hair. Not a big deal for me. When I arrived there was no English speaking staff, it was a bit difficult to communicate. He checked me in and the room was not clean (a lot of dust/sand on the floor). The room didn't feel comfortable for me. The next morning I asked to switch the room and this was no problem. The rest of my time I had a nice and clean room 😊 It's "Egyption clean" but for me it was good enough.
The staff was amazing ! They do everything to feel you like home. Specially Aziz helped me with everything (even fixing my suitcase when this was broke). When I felt a bit sick they took care of me to check how I was feeling and if I needed something. They served continental breakfast for me with fresh mango juice. The location is perfect, 2 minutes walk to the main area of restaurants and shops and still quite enough to have some rest at the hotel. They cleaned every day my room and the pool area. I was planning to stay 1 week but extended with 1 week. Dahab in combination with this hotel was the perfect holiday for me.

BelgiumIf the room was fully booked, it would have been very crowded (small space between te beds). A curtain over the window would be nice since the light comes in early in general, they could spend more attention to cleaning (as most hostels do...). But to be honest, when i mentioned specific things, they cleaned it right away. would not recommend the breakfast
i was lucky to stay allone in 6bed dorm room. The room was what to expect from a hostel. I liked the fact that the beds were a bit closed on the sides and had a curtain and the stairs to the upper beds were very firm. The bathroom was "ensuite" to the room (so directly accessable from your bedroom to the bathroom with toilet and shower). there was a mini fridge in the room, did not expect that. under the beds, there were drawers where you could put a lock on. the swimmingpool and sunbeds were a nice extra. The staff was friendly and helpfull. The location is very nice; a few minutes to the beachroad area with the bars and acces to the sea

IndiaNothing honestly.
Location is great as it is close to the beach 6min walk and the non touristic cheaper shops/restaurants just north are about 6 minutes too. Wifi works well throughout the hostel. Hot water showers, comfy beds w/curtains, light n electric in the dorm, breakfast, clean pool, staff💯. Aziz is the cook and speaks English well and is very helpful. Nover is the manager and he greets everyone in a friendly manner. Ask him a question and he knows where the answer is in Dahab. What i like most about the staff is the honesty. Dahab can be a bit of a tourist trap so the staff here is excellent in assisting you, no worries😊.

JapanI first stayed in a dormitory room, but I found flies and dust, which made me uncomfortable, so I changed to a private room. However, the bed linen still had small holes (I hope it’s not bed bugs…) and was dusty. If you want a clean place, I recommend choosing another hostel.
Building looks so nice and I was resting on the Terrace during the day!

New ZealandI very rarely give negative reviews, however, this was a bad experience. -The staff moved my bed while I was out, saying that two friends wanted neighbouring beds. - The new bed they gave me had been slept in, and wasn't clean. - They eventually gave me new sheets/blankets, but I had to fight for them. - I tried upgrading to a private room as I didn't enjoy the dorms, but the staff could never give me a straight answer. - I paid extra for breakfast and they only gave me breakfast on one day, and I had to ask about 3 people. -Yes, there were cockroaches walking around. I could keep going, but you get the picture.
For a night or two, this might suffice. However, for anything longer, I would strongly suggest finding another place. You can book single rooms in Dahab for the same price as this dorm.

United KingdomNo lockers or locks on doors, and a woman inappropriately tried to enter the male dorm. Staff think they speak better English than they do. Just use Google Translate instead of pretending. Oh. and another guest reported cockroaches.
