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.).

FinlandThe property needs an huge upgradation of its room floor, furniture and bathroom interiors as they are all so old and damaged and also the airconditioning system, as the local temperature is normally very high. Thereis a huge noise transmits from the traffic all the time as the room is not fasctilliated with sound proof. The breakfast is average. They however had shifted us to anoher room which is bit better, where we could sleep just a night before we depart.
The property located in prime area of Cairo.

RomaniaScore 10 for the guys at the reception and the girl who served breakfast, they were all smiling all the time, which makes you feel good! Very kind everyone! The internet works very well, the location is close to the subway and many tourist spots! The furniture and bedding are a bit old, but for me it was fine because I only needed a bed and a shower! It would be great if you diversified your breakfast at least a little, with a fruit or yogurt! Greetings from Bucharest, boys and girl! I highly recommend!

PakistanEverything was perfect. I had a great experience. Just that I had booked the room again for my last night in Cairo because I liked staying there. But when I arrived from the airport late in the night, they had given the room to another guest and guided me to their sister establishment Compollion Hotel. It was a communication lapse. They had sent a message confirming my arrival time on Booking.com but I didn't get the notification. It was certainly considerate of them to not just turn me out at that time of the night and guide me to another hotel. Also my night at Compollion was good too. But I paid 30 USD for the room at Castle which had a private bathroom and balcony with river view. The room at Compollion was small, with a really bad view from the window. It was just nearly not as good and the bathroom access was outside the room. Ideal thing would've been to charge me less money. But staff at Compollion was good too and I had a comfortable night there.
The overall ambiance of the place was great. The room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony and the Nile view. Staff was very polite and helpful especially the lady serving breakfast. I had a great stay at Castle Hostel.

Absolutely lovely staff. We stayed in another place in Cairo and the attentiveness, kindness and helpfulness in Castle Hostel was incomparable. The place is nicely decorated and generally enjoyed its vibe. Good kitchen facilities too and there's hot water in the room. Lovely view of the busy road.
