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...).

United KingdomBreakfast was nice but a little on the small size, it didn't keep us fuelled for long.
In a quiet pedestrian street so the traffic noise was very much reduced. Comfortable beds. Room was spacious with places to store clothes. Good downtown location.

NetherlandsThe blanket smells old and stuffy. Luckily it was warm enough not to need it.
Mo was so friendly, especially after traveling for a long day. The common area is super social and it's easy finding people that want to see the pyramids as well. I had a great few days and would definitely come back!

ColombiaEverything was good
Staff is great, very helpful and have the coolest recommendations, always with a smile they make you feel very at home. The owner also knows a lot about the best plans in Egypt and will recommend you great tours. Prices are fair and it would safe you a huge amount of time and planning so it's really worth it. You will get to know the best of Egypt without the hassle. Also breakfast is good :D and it was the best place to meet cool people and a lot of other solo travelers, both a lot of women and men. The Woman's only dorm where I stayed was great since it was calm, clean and met nice friends. Beds are comfy

RussiaThe towels aren't included and the cleanliness of sheets might have been better (found a hair), but stuff is always there to help and change anything you want.
I think I cannot imagine anything better for such price which includes breakfast. Breakfast was really great. Egg, banana, cream cheese, vegetables, coffee (maybe something else I cannot remember). The staff was nice and very helpful. Bed is comfortable too. Cozy place, not noisy, easy to come at any time including night. Laundry was ok (might be better, but the price was nice). Wi-fi was ok for Egypt.
