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.).

Czech RepublicLoud electronic dance music by the big pool. You cant really relax, read a book etc when the animations are happening. So you gotta plan properly if you wanna avoid these banging sessions. Same goes for the beach. Also what I dont like is that beach and pool bars close at 5PM. Usually they start running out of ice, drinks, ice-cream, food at around 4:30. The cocktails are a joke. Mojito is from mint sirup, no fresh herbs. Pinacolada is also from a sirup. They dont serve or sell any fresh juices. Its all sirup based, artificial and very sweet. However the food is usually nice with plenty of healthy choices. Dont expect plain burger and chips.
Excelent location. This resort has the best located beach in Port Ghalib. Straight from the beach you can go snorkelling, swimming etc. Beach is well protected from the strong winds. Food - really good in all aspects. It does not always look amazing but it is always fresh and very good tasting. For a canteen not bad at all. But dont expect expensive restaurant style. It's still an Egyptian style resort with a canteen for a lot of people. Staff - always nice and very friendly. We got nice room upgrade and early check in for no extra charge. They really work hard to make you feel like home and welcome. Almost nothing is a problem. Animations by the pool and beach with cheap dance music - annoying. But most people seem to like it.

United KingdomFood in restaurant would benefit from being labelled as to its suitability e.g. vegan, vegetarian or gluten free Personally, the mattress was a little too hard, but the facilities and space of the room compensated for this.
Any problems, questions or queries and the staff at reception were always available and helpful As I went diving every day I cannot really comment on other facilities such as entertainment etc has did not experience it but from comments from other guests was really good Hotel has a basic equipped gym, which was also used and appreciated

Switzerlandhotel needs some renovation especially the bathroom in the room, it was clean but very old and destroyed, we have booked room with a breakfast only and tried to have a dinner at hotel one time - very little choice and unfortunately not tasty (price 20 usd pp is way too much for this kind of food), some sun beds are very destroyed, very little choice for the lunch at the beach, really long waiting and very small portions
good breakfast with tasty sweets, room clean and spacious, nice coral reef with a comfortable entrance from the beach, we could see colorful sting rays every day, you can swim also close to other hotel, very friendly and always helpful stuff, billiard and bowling

United StatesOur room was missing trash bags and it would have been nice to have some plastic utensils because we got take out food one night. That's all! This hotel was in a good location for getting off the liveaboard dive boat because it is close to the dock because we could just walk our gear over.
Friendly staff. The room was large and comfortable. They let us have breakfast both mornings of our 1 night stay.

SwitzerlandWe were in Room 3222 and the drain in the shower didn't drain the water, also we never had really warm water, only slightly less cold (but we only stayed one night, so perhaps it was just unlucky).
The hotel is very nice, with large, clean rooms. The staff is very friendly, the breakfast was spectacular. The reef directly at the beach offers a great spot for snorkeling, you can see all kinds of marine life in the first 3m from the beach. That was awesome. All in all, I can recommend this place.

ItalyFood was not good in taste, only at breakfast was a bit better. You will constantly be surrendered by any kind of seller, if you are resting at the beach or pool, there will be always someone trying to sell you services,if you are walking close to restaurants, they will try to convince you to sit and order, if you are walking down the stores streets, they will constantly trying to let you come in stores and buy. Stores prices are ,so far, the highest compared to Giza ,asswan or Luxor, for less better quality, literally a scam. Only exception felici and his friend (the first perfumed store at the beginning of the market street at the opposite side from the beach) , very nice people and a bit better prices.
Beautiful location, staff was super kind, Red Sea it’s just stunning

EgyptThe furniture and bathroom in the room are a bit old and outdated; they definitely need renovation. Lunch was really bad; there weren't many options to choose from. The snacks at the beach were better, but they only made one type of sandwich every day, so there wasn't much variety. The animation team was unnoticeable. It took us some time to even know that they do shows at night. But there was a quiz nigh and it was funny and engaging.
The beach is everything you could ever wish for. There are coral reefs and many beautiful fish, so you don't have to go somewhere else for snorkeling. One day, there was a dolphin and sea turtles. The beach is about a 7-minute walk from the main entrance. A shuttle is available, but they take a break to charge from 2 to 4 p.m. The staff are really lovely and friendly, and even when they're super busy, they're never rude. The hotel upgraded our room to a suite, which was good and spacious. Dinner was tasty and had variety. They had a different theme every night. The bakeries at breakfast were always tasty and fresh. The hotel's location is great. It is right at Port Ghalib, where there are lots of shops and cafes, all overlooking the marina.

EgyptThe surroundings life is insanely expensive. I had to look for a memory card for my camera and it was 3 times more than its market prices. Same for anything you will buy, specially the super market Aly. They just multiply the item cost by any factor and sell it 😄
The property is very cozy and comfortable. Location is perfect in the middle of marina and 10 mnts from airport. Room was upgraded by reception man. It was so nice The beachfront reefs are perfect with lots of marine life varieties. It is also safe for adults and kids snorkeling

Czech RepublicI'm comparing two 5* hotels in Marsa Alam and this one is not a 5* hotel, it's potentially 3,5. The food at breakfast was sufficient but of low quality and we found hair and stains on the bedsheets and curtains. The beach was small and trying to walk to nearby patches of the beach meant interacting with rude security guards - even when walking on the shore.
Spacious property and room and well maintained grounds. Pleasant staff. Well located in Port Ghalib.
