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):
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.
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.).

LuxembourgWe liked everything and can't wait to visit again
We were lucky to receive an upgrade to a room with wonderful sea & lagoon view. Rooms are very spacious with plenty of storage, large TV and a super balcony. Ours had a view over the amazing private beach that surrounds the Palace hotel, over the entrance to the lagoon and all the ship entering and the desert on the other side. Unforgettable panorama at dawn (05.30h in April) and technicolor sunsets :-). Totally quiet at night. Super attentive room service; waterbottles and fruit. - The garden with the numerous large palm trees, its large lawns and its sea of flowers is meticulously kept. Fresh towels are provided daily for the pool and the beach. The very long pontoon offers fantastic views for everybody. Snorkeling is possible from there or on a large portion of the beach. Colourful fish everywhere. Highly recommended scuba diving center is right near the Palace Pickalbatros with lessons and excursions. - We loved the food, especially the egyptian and the indian dishes. We started our days with omelettes, pancakes freshly made for breakfast, incredible goyavas fresh and pressed. -The entrance to the Palace Pickalbatros hotel is truly majestic, as is the large lobby and the bar with its terrace overlooking the artificial lagoon of the neighboring hotel . - All staff in the amazing Palace Pickalbatros hotel are very well trained and respectful. They work really hard to make guests feel at home and pampered. A big thanks and congratulations to the manager, Mr Mina for the amazing job.

RomaniaBeware at the trips you book! We booked a trip to El Qusair and it was horrible! The guide didn’t speak a word in English, everything was very dirty, we went at 4.30 pm before asking if it is ok at that time and day, they said it is ok no matter the day and the time. After we arrived in Qusair the souk was closed. We stayed 30 minutes and asked to go back to the hotel but waited for 40 minutes the driver to come and pick us up. He was upset, he told us it was Ramadan. I guess he went to eat and he was angry he had to leave earlier than expected. But we booked him to stay with us so it was not our problem, the town looked dirty and unsafe so we had to wait in the street after sunset with 2 kids for the driver to come.. not nice at all. The trip was a big scam, the hotel should be carefull to filter what those people sell to the guests.
Very nice resort, the reef is awsome with large variety of fish, they even have turtles and morays. Food is good although last year it was a bit better and all meals were served at The Olive which is the nicest, this year only dinner was at The Olive. The Spa is pretty good, I had 2 massages with Shaimaa and it was a very nice.

United KingdomNothing at all !
- Super friendly staff from the very first encounter to the very last moment. - Immaculate room. - Brilliant food (special mention to the seafood soup at the a la carte restaurant). Warmest thanks to Mr. Mohammed Kamal (Head of Reception Office) for helping us get the panoramic sea view we booked the room for, Ms. Seham (Customer Relations) for booking us a special nice dinner, Chef Osama (for the amazing BBQs, buffets and strawberries), Chef Farag (for the mouth-watering dishes he makes and all the tasty buffets under his supervision), Chef Nagwa (for the great pasta), Chef Mohammed (for the fantastic Italian pizzas), Mr. Al-Abbasy (and all the team at A La Carte Restaurant for the special romantic dinner we had), and finally Mr. Hussein (from Room Service, for the brilliant origami towels he makes). Honestly, everyone was very helpful, warm and friendly. Thank you for making our holiday something very special that we'll always remember!

Switzerlandthe bed is good, but the pillows are to hard. renovation work between pool and pool bar during the day can be accepted even if noisy, but why you can not even stop it during dinner time? The noise of the electrical saw while sitting on the restaurant balcony was disturbing us.
Breakfast and dinner buffet, great variety, good service; enough pool and beach sun chairs are available, removable wind cover on beach ensures privacy as well. beverage service even on the beach, excellent all-in-inclusive service, wellness center offers good treatments (extra pay)

EgyptNot a major thing but the blackouts were a bit sheer and sunlight would heavily enter the room, which is awesome for some people but if you like to sleep in pitch black, your sleep may get interrupted. I enjoyed nevertheless.
It was just perfect, exactly what we needed. Located right next to the marina, few minutes walking, where you can buy souvenirs and book trips.The property itself was very spacious with a variety of dinners that you can choose from each meal, with lots of food options that fit every diet and preference. the animation team was active, lots of activities throughout the day. the pool was nice and warm, there was a sandy beach option as well. staff were super nice, hospitable and helpful especially Mr. Mina, they were really trying so hard to make our stay memorable.

ItalyWe liked everything ! We were as bit unlucky the first few days as it was windy (but with the windbreaks on the beach you were protected)but the second week was absolutely perfect.
This was our first visit to the Red Sea and we loved it, the hotel was very spacious and the restaurants offered a good varied choice with the grilled shrimps and fish being a big hit ! `All areas of the hotel were well maintained especially the beach, all the staff were friendly and very efficient. Our room had a fantastic pool/sea view. We ordered an airport taxi transfer through the hotel which was great. We will definitely return..the easiest most relaxing holiday ever. It was nice having Port Ghalib 2 mins away to wander around.

QatarBasically, this team excels in personalizing people's experiences. Everyone, everywhere, would remember who you are, what you like and how you like to have it. Front desk made me feel like I own this place, not just a guest staying therein. Food is excellent, quality and variety, especially the Alfredo restaurant (nothing else comes close to their Italian-cuisine experience). Room was spacious, stylishly fitted, and I was privileged with an astonishing view overlooking greenery, pool and the sea ... By far this was the best stay I had in the Red Sea this season, and I had many. Kudus to The Palace team 👏👏👏
