Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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...).

SpainFrom the check in to my check out it was perfect.As a first time solo traveller I was alitte anxious how my trip would go but I got picked up right on time and even though check in is at 2pm I was allowed to take a quick shower and leave for a tour I had scheduled early in the morning and when i got back my bags were in my room.I felt 5he Egyptian hospitality and total warmth.I constantly got asked by the receptionist I really wish I reme3his name because he was the best.He got me coffee,fruit juices.I felt so safe and this is coming from a solo female traveller.The views of the pyramids from my room were exeptional.My room was constantly clean.Even the food at the restaurant was affordable unlike so many places that take advantage of tourists.On the last day,I really wanted a photo from my balcony with the pyramids in the background and so embarrassed I asked for help from the reception and he immediately sent help.All in all wonderful stay.I 100percent recommend and Id definitely without hesitation book again

United KingdomThis is by no means the hotels fault but as it’s located on a very touristy place there were many horses outside so there was a smell and it gets noisy early!
Our room overlooked the pyramids. Included breakfast was quite big and varied, and it’s served at the terrace so it overlooks the pyramids too. The staff was very friendly and helpful and watched our bags while we were shopping on our last day. You can partially see and hear the Sound and Light show from the terrace so that was a very nice addition to our last day in Cairo.

United KingdomThe restaurant (with excellent roof-top view over the pyramids) basically ignored us when we went for dinner. We were there during Ramadan and they were busy serving the Iftar (fast-breaking evening meal) to a large group. We would have totally understood, therefore, if they had simply said "sir/madam, please sit here and have some bread and we can get you a drink, and then once the Iftar has been served to this large group we will take your food order." Given that the other guests had been fasting all day they clearly needed to eat first, so we would have had no problem with that. However, this never happened. They literally ignored us. After 30 minutes had passed with no-one saying anything to us, giving us anything or taking any kind of order, even just for a drink we left. Egyptians and Arabs are renowned for their hospitality, but to completely ignore hotel guests in their own hotel restaurant for a whole 30 minutes is a shamefully low standard of hospitality. When I saw the manager later I tried to complain about this but he just brushed it off. Otherwise we had a lovely stay at this excellently located place. They just need to work on the customer service skills of their restaurant staff, especially as every other hotel or restaurant we used in Egypt, also during Ramadan, still managed to handle large groups eating their Iftar without ignoring their foreign guests.
The location of this hotel is incredible. Literally opposite the pyramids and the Sphinx and so close that you can see and hear the nightly pyramid sound and light show in your pyjamas from the balcony - especially useful if you have small children for whom it is too late to be out and about with them. We had a large family room which was comfortable, practical and affordable. The manager, Hani was quite friendly and helpful with arranging a vehicle for onward travel, offering tours etc. There was plenty of food included in the breakfast.

United KingdomThe area was very run down and felt unsafe. The hotel itself also felt rundown, room doors were not very stable and the bathrooms were grubby. The bedsheets had Joel’s torn in them and stains. The food was not the best and breakfast was a set platter so not ideal for picky eaters.
The property was on the doorstep of the great pyramids and so made for a fantastic breakfast view. It was walking distance for our guided tour! The staff were very helpful and welcoming!

BrazilI sent a request for early check-in and the hotel responded with an ok answer and no extra fee, but when my group and I arrived at the hotel to check in, the receptionist charged me US$50. I showed him the confirmation from the Booking chat saying there would be no extra fee, but he ignored it and said that if we didn't pay, we would have to leave the hotel (this was 2am). He was extremely rude to us. Then the hotel also wanted to charge me for an extra bed that I also had proof that there would be no extra fee. They put me in a room that wasn't mine on the first night, and when I finally went to the right room they took a long time to give it to me. I was extremely upset and complained, and at that moment the receptionist started yelling at me in front of my son who was very scared. I asked to speak to the Manager, but he was never there. Terrible service. Terrible reception staff. Terrible commitment. They are trying to take our money at all times.
The view of the Pyramids is nice. The staff at the rooftop restaurant are great.

United StatesThey did not pick us up from the airport and the reason was because the driver overslept, when we got to our room, it was very dirty. The towels were a brownish white color like they had already been used. The walls had stains on them, the linen on the beds were dirty looking and had plenty of lent balls on them. The rooftop is dirty and is not a place you would want to eat at. The hotel look nothing like the pictures on the website. We did not stay there, we checked out and stayed at another hotel.
The staff was welcoming and were nice when we arrived.

EcuadorAWFUL!!! The worst hotel ever! Please never go there!!!! They are always used to overbooking rooms so don't be doubt that you will arrive and the room you booked will be not available and they will take you to a lower class hotel, dirty, stinky, old and dangerous! In addition, this hotel charges you in advance and since you have already paid, you have no other option than to accept the theft they commit against you. The manager is a rude and ill-mannered guy who, instead of giving you a solution, treats you badly. Please never go there, they are scammers.

United StatesWe didn't like leaving. This stop was the highlight of our visit.
We are a family of 4, both kids are young adults. This location is perfectly placed for a visit to the pyramids. We had a family room, #109, with a wonderful view of the pyramids and partial view of the Sphinx because of the trees. The roof top area of the hotel is perfect for breakfast with the pyramids or to view the Sound and Light Show at night for free. We were fortunate to have Ali Baba serve us for breakfast each day and he was able to reserve us a table along the front for dinner and the light show. Thank you Ali Baba for the attention to detail to make our stay extra special. Hopefully the gift of the American flag glass magnet will remind you of our visit.
