Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

These are not big complaints but just bear this in mind when making your travel plans: the lamp in my room was broken but someone came to fix it straight away. The room and bathroom are quite dated, some rooms are smoking so please make sure you request non-smoking in advance. Please note this is a budget hotel in an authentic and busy part of Cairo - this was good for me as that's the kind of place I like to explore because I travel on a low budget when on my own. Smoking is permitted in the restaurant. If you prefer a quieter area (although Cairo is a very busy city everywhere) you will need to stay downtown or on the island - but will pay a lot more!
All of the staff are very welcoming and really helpful. They let me leave my bag at reception when checking out so I could explore the city before returning to take my taxi back to the airport. My room was basic and rather dated but had a fridge and tv. Breakfast is served on the 10th floor with views across the city. It opens as a restaurant in the evening but maybe best to let staff know in advance if you want dinner (I only had breakfast). If you're looking for an alternative, bustling and authentic area to stay in Cairo, this hotel is located right by the main train station and a large minibus station, with lots of kiosks and takeaway food outlets. The metro is also nearby which is a great way to get around the city. There's a lot going on and although it is hectic, the area is safe. I stayed here twice and was happy to come back and the low cost was a fair price for staying in Cairo.

For the price there's absolutely nothing to complain about.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome and helped us with the luggage, also after check out they let us store our bags in the hotel until the afternoon as we were taking a train. The breakfast was generous and varied. I would definitely stay there again!

Don't go there if you want a good night's sleep. The train drivers use their horns more than cairo taxi drivers.
