Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Egypt- we could not book an initially advertised and offered trip for incomprehensible reasons concerning the fact that only one of us had done the booking - no soap, the toilet shower did not work - hard bed - it is a local, residential area, but you are woken up in the morning by the kids that go to the school in the adjacent building - welcoming was short, not all things explained, I had to ask about things specifically (WiFi, laundry service...) - it is called a hostel but doesn't really have a hostel vibe, no inside area to meet and connect for all, it is an apartment building, the place consists of several apartments inside the building
- free laundry service - free tea and coffee outside, kitchen to use inside - clean - late check-in possible - free ride downtown, that was nice

Basic accommodations in a decent location: not luxury but clean/comfortable enough for the price. All the reviews are right…The real reason to stay here is David: the most friendly and helpful man in all of Egypt, maybe all of Africa.

The location of the hostel is perfect and we can go to the city via mini bus. Also the hostel is clean, the hosts David and Marina are so helpful. David was able to arrange the tours for us and if not he would tell us the best way to do the tourist spot. He made sure we have our breakfast daily even though we were waking up early and moving around. I found this to be the best and reasonably priced hostel. I would recommend this to everyone who is visiting Aswan.

David and the family are the best hosts just unbelievably helpful and kind. Can't recommend this hostel enough. Great place to meet other travelers as we usually pick the cheapest.
