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.).

United KingdomThe noise!!
It was an amazing location for the pyramids, you can see them from the room and they were within walking distance. There isn't many decent places to eat around the area and it was SO noisy up until about midnight every night, and then starts again early. The staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was okay.

PolandNothing to do with the apartament: Very poor neighbourhood - ruined houses, trash on the street. Many stray dogs howling at night - better to come with earplugs.
Amazing view from the balcony and even better from the rooftop. Spacy living room and 2 bathrooms. In comparison with the neighbourhood, it was surprisingly well kept. Very helpful host, always available on the phone. Local shop oposite front door open untill 3 AM. Good, simple breakfast. Just small things could be improved for comfort. Could be cleaned better before and during our stay - especially the fridge and rugs. The apartment is a bit worn out - e.x. shower not holding to the wall, window in the bathroom had broken lock, missing door handle, etc. In general nice stay :)

United StatesThe water in the apartment kept "turning off," especially when we tried to take a shower. The front door to our apartment did not lock or open properly, so we had to contact the owner (who was in the apartment right next to our place.) Also, this apartment is VERY HARD to find (Cairo/Giza has no street signs and we were at the end of an obscure dirt road. Further, the name of the apartment is the same as several other "hotels" in the area so our tour guides had a terrible time trying to locate us to take us on our excursions. Finally, there was/is a "futbol/soccer" field right outside our bedroom windows and the myriad of young adult males playing late into the night (until 2- 3 am) were very loud and made it impossible to get a good nights' sleep. To be fair, it was during Ramadan (March 2024), so that may be why it was so loud so late at night. Overall, a good value but you have to be mindful of the drawbacks. I would recommend this apartment for it's great view, personal attention by the owner and low price, but caveat emptor!
We loved the Giza pyramid views from one of the two bedrooms (we were in the "family suite"). What a spectacular thing to see each morning as we opened our window. We also appreciated the very kind landlord who provided us with a traditional Egyptian breakfast each morning and opened our front door each time we returned from an activity, as the lock/key did not work very well, if at all.

Slovakiathe hotel is located near the entrance to the pyramids (about 500 meters). The owner was very friendly, he helped us with everything, he also offered us a guide to the pyramids or a tour of other historical places. He will change your money, order a taxi, he helped us a lot with luggage storage. Spacious, clean rooms, large bathroom, hallway. The view of the pyramids from the room was more beautiful from the roof. Maybe a little noisier around the hotel, but we met a lot of friendly people there. Breakfast simple but tasty.

India1. No lift/elevator to the 3rd floor room, may be difficult if with accessibility need. 2. Hani’s English ability could improve, sometimes it feels like a abrupt sale push than introducing the culture or solve our need, even though he may not really mean to forcefully sale anything. 3. Noise from neighborhood. One night the neighborhood was having a birthday party and the stereo was booming in the middle of the night. The other night was fine. 4. Old locks on the room doors sometimes are difficult to open or to lock.
1. The view from the room balcony is nice. There is also an amazing view on the rooftop to see all three pyramids. The location of this premise is not on the main roads so it is usually quiet and relaxing. 2. The property manager Hani is very kind, resourceful, quickly responding, and helpful. He helped us find a local car and a driver with reasonable price to show us around the pyramids and other scenarios. He helped us find good money exchange. He introduces us nice local restaurants and other amenities. The WhatsApp requests usually replied in half an hour or even instantly. 3. The rooms are very clean and tidy. 4. Last but not least, the freshly made oriental breakfasts are amazingly delicious and colorful!

NetherlandsThe communication with the host was not perfect and didn't present himself that flexible to leave our luggage on the last day for a couple of hours and we were charged for half day of a room. Another aspect is that the bathroom is outside of the room, although is private for that specific room where we stayed. But overall, was all great!
The location is very interesting, in a neighbourhood where you can have a real feeling of the way of living the locals. Is very close to the entrance of the Pyramids compound and the view to the pyramids is quite nice!

CanadaThere is a nearby mosque, and it is incredibly loud well before the sun rises. On the weekend, I believe it was earlier but uncertain what time. It runs quite long. In general it is a seemingly small and quiet sleep but noise carries and it all the action on the streets is quite loud. . One night the locals and mosque made most the noise, another night was dogs and trucks, and one night was mostly peaceful. Cairo and Giza themselves are very loud places, so consider earplugs
Large spacious rooms and a close walk to Giza. Staff were friendly. We were able to get 5 beds and several rooms at a very good price.

South AfricaI believe the sanitation of the unit is still in progress, as the bathtub was unusable due to many cracks, and the showers impossible to use as it was not confined to cubicles. Our unit didn't have a outside patio to enjoy breakfast.
Cheops Pyramids View Inn is actually a private one-floor flat in a four storey building. Despite language barriers, the owner was extremely helpful. A small market/cafe opposite the premises provided soft drinks and bottled water at local prices. The breakfast that was delivered to our door every morning, was ample and consisted of mainly bread products, which is typical Egypt, but not truly western. The ample fruit in the pictures was not presented with our stay.

IrelandWe had some bizarre interactions with the owner in person and by Whatsapp and were given some wrong information about opening times for the pyramids for no apparent reason (we checked ourselves for the right ones). We were also asked to leave early on the day of check out to accomodate other people checking in. Our bathroom was private but down the hallway and the bedroom door would not stay closed while the other person took the keys to use the bathroom. The hotel is not correctly marked on Google Maps so is a bit hard to find, you have to request a link from the owner. Verrrrry loud street during the day and at night.
The good points were the view of the pyramids from our room and rooftop and the fact that it was less than a 10 minute walk to the Giza Plateau ticket gate. There is a little shop across the street to buy water and snacks.
