How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Receptionists was so cold, at the hostels should be more active and fun guys, but they were all kind.
It has to be the cleanest place in Egypt, it's central, there's a good atmosphere, a nice common area to meet others. Special thanks to the ladies who did the breakfast and cleaning.

Beds are kind of getting old. Half of my mattress I could feel the box springs. Was definitely flipped. Haha. Can also get loud at night if you're on the 4th floor. People were in the common area until almost 4am. And then came into the rooms and were loud as well. Despite this I would stay again. Just bring ear plugs. Luckily I have noise canceling headphones.
Super easy to meet people due to the small common area. Center of downtown so walkable to sooo many places. Tours the hostel offers are cheaper than anywhere else too so I do recommend booking them here. Also note for people on 2nd floor, there are multiple floors. 4th floor has the common area. Met a group of 3 English lads who didn't know this and thought the hostel was boring so heads up haha. Don't spend 3 days alone. Go to the 4th floor.

- it doesn't have heating, so before going to sleep it was a bit cold Not a minus, just a suggestion for the hotel: - would be good to have a kind of menu for breakfasts with details what's included - we've always got something delicious (the oriental one!!!), but not always what we've "ordered"
Great, newly opened place with excellent rooms. Very comfortable bed, fresh bed linen, very clean Delicious breakfasts and amazing staff (kitchen, cleaning service, guys at the reception). It's a short walking distance from Egyptian Museum, there's an amazing bakery nearby. Their price for airport pickup is just amazing!

Everything was absolutely amazing. I have not complaints about this place at all.
Fantastic breakfast. I would not mind a bit more of an Egyptian touch to the breakfast or having the option of one. But hey, can't for too much from them.

Showers/WC. Only a couple of them for the whole hostel is such a big handicap if you want to shower in "peak" hours.
Dorm/bed features and breakfast are great.

The quilt in the room can be changed more frequently or use a certain flavor freshener. Because here everything gets damp and smells a little bit. But overall I like this hotel very much and I would definitely choose it again if I could come back again.
Very kind boss, he gave me a lot of advice and help, I thank him very much, the view of the room is far beyond my expectations, it is so beautiful
