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...).

GermanyThe flat is in the 4th floor so lots of stairs, so be ready for that, but that’s the price for the amazing view 😉 As with most hostels in Cairo the location is difficult to find from the street, so contact the host upfront to sent you the exact location or meet you downstairs.
It’s a very comfy and large room with a shared bath. There are only 3 rooms in total so there was never a queue when I was there. You can use the kitchen - free coffee, tea, fridge etc - and the living room as if it was your home. The host is very nice and always offering help. But the best thing is the view from the rooftop terrace right above the hostel. Best views of the pyramids. So the whole stay is great value for money.

PolandI highly recommend this place. First of all, I got a private room with keys, clean sheets and a towel, which I didn’t expect because, as a hostel, I was sure I would be sharing a room with others. The rooftop is super chill, with a stunning view of the pyramids – perfect for a quiet morning coffee. The kitchen was fully equipped, so you could even cook there. The bathroom had a bathtub, and the water was hot and flowed consistently, which isn’t always the case in hostels, based on my experience. Secondly, breakfast was included, and after one portion, I was full enough that I didn’t need to buy anything for lunch. Lastly, the owner who managed the hostel was so lovely, kind, and helpful. He spoke good English, which made it easy to connect with him, get some advices and have conversations on various topics.

RomaniaNobody ever asked me what time I prefer breakfast. When it was finally brought, Unfortunately, a piece of bread with 2 slices of cheese inside isn’t a proper breakfast. Better don’t provide anything then!
This is a fantastic place with an excellent view of the pyramids. It feels so cozy and like it is your own nicely decorated apartment. The room is nice and bed is cozy. You do have to share bathroom but it was never an issue. I wish I could have stayed more nights.

Mahmoud, the owner, is a kind person, and I'm so grateful for his help. After sightseeing, I returned to the hotel feeling hot and sweaty, but Mahmoud kindly allowed me to take a shower and rest for a while. The room was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The Wi-Fi was also the best compared to other hotels I've stayed in. Thank you so much, and hopefully, I'll be back soon, Inchallah!

I think this is the best place to stay near the Pyramid. Affordable price and you get a spacious and clean room. Plus, A/C inside the room was also in a good condition which make the room getting cool very fast. Bed, bed sheet, pillows, blanket were all perfect! The owner was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast also amazing. One small thing that I like the most is the owner and his family always refill bottles of water in the refrigerator which is really appreciated! The rooftop also has a great view of all three pyramids. And there're also lots of nearby shops and restaurants. Highly recommended for a solo traveler!

United KingdomIndoor smoking is allowed. The downside about the tour that I booked through the hotel was that you cannot expect getting egpytian price staying with the driver and you cannot believe him. The driver took some commission fee. On giza pyramids, he said 15 dollars is a very good egyptian price for a camal ride. I was asked to give the money to the shop owner, who is his friend, not the camal owner or anyone. The next day I was helping my friend get a camal and I could do that in 9 dollars, which should be still overpriced. I don't believe that a beteran driver like him wouldn't know the real price. I asked the driver if he could help me buy a cheap hat. He took me to a shop with a 700 pounds hat. I said I want a super cheap one, even second-hand is okay, and we went to another shop with 500 pounds hat. He said that this is the best deal he can make. I bought that but the next day I saw the same hat sold in markets in only 50 pounds. Plus, he is just a driver, not a tour guide. You can hire a driver for a day with 25 dollars if you transact directly. Other hotels ask 60 dollars(with a tourguide-not driver) per person.
Excellent hotel. The room was nice and clean. Mahmoud, the hotel owner, was very kind. He bought me a sim card and helped me get a better deal for the Bahariya desert tour(i could save 20 dollars. 110->90). He also drove me to ATM when I needed to withdraw egyptian pounds. Free luggage storage and late check in was generous. Overall, I am very satisfied with the hotel, and recommend going here. Below are some things that I wish other tourists know. (1) airport cab He calls a cab to the airport on request. It's 10 USD. You can, of course, get a cab with Uber or in drive with only 5 dollars. But wifi doesn't work in the airport, and the sim card needs some time to activate. You might have to pay 25 dollars if you try to negotiate. Other hotels offer a ride in 20 dollars(absurd). His deals are usually better. (2) room I booked a single room and the bed was big enough for 2 people. The room was clean. The AC is working well. Free laundry machine and kitchen were awesome. Bathroom is shared. No shampoo. One drawback is indoor smoking. There was a smoking place right in front of my room and the smoke would come into my room. The electricity sometimes gets out, but it's not the problem of the hotel. I heard that the government shuts down electricity for like an hour a day for some reason. (3) booking tour I booked two tours through the hotel. One, Bahariya desert tour. It was perfect. His offer was cheaper than any other. I had a brilliant experience. Second, private Giza Sakarra Memphis tour. It cost 40 USD per car. It was so-so. The bright side was that I could go to papyrus or carpet places and have new experience besides seeing the pyramids.
