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...).

AustraliaVery minor is that there's no kettle in the room but they have tea and coffee facilities and make an awesome hot chocolate.
Maghrahbi's Guest House was a little oasis in the chaos of Egypt. It was heaven to stay at and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Even the trip across the Nile to get to and from it was a pleasure. Breakfast was good.There is a restaurant on site that has a set menu that you can order from. A small mini mart for snacks is a 5 minute walk.

United StatesBreakfast is typical Egyptian fare so blame the culture, not the guesthouse. On the plus side, it is served in an open-air area with a beautiful view and the amount is generous! For people looking for fancy facilities and touristy surroundings, this is not your place.
Being away from tourist areas in Aswan was what we wanted. The guesthouse was on the West Bank of the Nile in a peaceful, bucolic setting (farming area, cows, goats, camels, donkeys). The room (107) we had was in the new wing so good shower, AC, etc. and the ceiling built in the Nubean style. At dawn, as the sun hits, the ceiling is illuminated like the night sky. Although far away, the busy Aswan world is only a short(and free) on-demand boat ride away. So we had access to restaurants across the way. Tomb of the Nobles is walkable, but I think the guesthouse would have taken us by boat if I asked. The facilities themselves reminded me of a beach resort in the Philippines, with views to die for and easy access to the Nile. Tables and chairs scattered about for breakfast and soft drinks. Sometimes they might have other meals available but check in the morning. The best part of the experience is the staff who were friendly and welcoming: Hossam, Sayid, and the two older boys named Mohammed. Of note: we picked up virus before coming to Aswan, and started showing symptoms there. Hossam personally escorted us to the “tourist” hospital Al-germaniya and stayed for three hours with us so he could accompany us back to guesthouse. We would not have managed the bureaucratic process without him. When we gave him bakhshish/tip, he absolutely refused it. Owner Taha had arranged for taxi to airport($15), which was not a bad price. Although you can only speak with Taha over the phone, don’t hesitate to ask Hossam to speak to him if you need anything. If you’re coming into Aswan late in the day, ask to be picked up from airport because the place is not easy to find.

United KingdomBathroom towels could be slightly larger perhaps?
Both evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Generous portions- two tilapia fish each in the evening! Hossam was so friendly, cheerful, generous and helpful. He supplied me with multiple hot lemon and honey drinks to soothe my unfortunate throat infection and helped with our heavy luggage. He also happily transported us to the other side of the river at the end of our stay. Such a lovely host and accommodation! Thank you.

ChinaAlready very good
Finishing two nights stay at Maghrabi’s, we genuinely think this must be our best time in Aswan, or maybe in the whole Egypt! The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. Hot water is stable and the beds are very comfortable. The garden (the dining area) is just beside the Nile, and it can be a true enjoyment to do nothing, just sitting there drinking freshly made juice or coffee in the garden. Everybody in the guesthouse was so friendly (not the “I want your tips” way of friendly, but genuinely willing to treat you nicely). The host is one of the best people we’ve ever met, always smiling, and he helped us a lot during our stay in Aswan, sending us back to the house from the East Bank even though it was late. When our driver wanted to add up price and refused to pick us up, the host negotiated with the driver for us and got the driver come to pick up us and our luggage. Btw, the juice and coffee there are really good!

SpainGreat property
This is the best place to stay in Aswan! We were here for 2 nights (2 adults and 3 children) and loved the guesthouse. It’s quite a magical place along the banks of the Nile facing the city in Aswan. Firstly, the people who work there are great. Very pleasant and helpful, from preparing delicious dinners to organizing a ride up the Nile. These people do it all! The owner, his family and staff could not be more caring about the guests. And importantly, very honest people. They don’t even accept tips! The hotel itself is very charming. It’s an oasis away from the grind of Aswan city life. Beautiful gardens facing the city and very nice, clean and spacious rooms. An outstanding place to stay in Aswan. Would happily return. Many thanks to the owner and his family for all their kindness.
