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...).

MalaysiaNothing really, thanks for your help even with transportation issue by Uber driver back to the airport.
The location is within walking distance of the Giza Pyramids, and the antique-style private rooms are more beautiful than you would expect from the exterior of the facility and the surrounding atmosphere. They are beautiful and clean. You can see the pyramids from the small balcony. A refrigerator, electric kettle, coffee, tea, and bottled water are all provided free of charge. (I didn't take any, but they said I could take even the small pyramid and Nefertiti on the side table home as souvenirs.) The bathroom also has shampoo, conditioner, and toilet paper, and there is a hot shower. The breakfast is homemade pita bread sandwiches, and everything is delicious. It is great hospitality that breakfast is prepared in the refrigerator in the shared kitchen so that you can take it with you when you go out early in the morning because there are fewer people and it is cooler. The owner's family is in the same facility, so they will respond immediately if you need anything. I also had an iftar experience during Ramadan, so I would definitely stay this place again and would like to cook with his beautiful wife. (There is also a wonderful rooftop with a view of the pyramids, but it is all stairs, so be careful if you have large luggage or are elderly, but they will help you when you check in.) It is great value for money.

FranceI should have spent more time on that amazing rooftop :(
Ahmed and Manal, the hosts, are wonderful people and it won't take you long to realize this. Very kind, super responsive and incredibly helpful, they sincerely care about the well-being of their guests. In addition to their adorable vibes, I can name a few things that I loved: - The rooftop is simply crazy. Comfortable sofas and unbeatable view: it was a pleasure to stay there at night and to chill a bit with a coffee in the afternoon. - I received great recommendations for shopping and eating. Just trust the hosts, they know their stuff ;) - A few minutes away from the entrance of the pyramids (just perfect) - Great idea from Manal to prepare breakfast in advance so I could wake up early and visit the pyramids. - I was pleasantly surprised to have a private balcony that also offers a view on the pyramids. It made breakfast even nicer. - Tea, coffee and water offered along the day. - Bonus point: you might be able to share the rooftop with a special fluffy guest if you are lucky :) 😸 Long story short: THAT PLACE IS A NO-BRAINER WHEN YOU VISIT THE PYRAMIDS. To Manal & Ahmed: I will never forget you. Thank you !!!

AustraliaFirstly, a big thank you to the host (Manal) for the exceptional hospitality and for the warm & friendly reception, made me feel at home & like family. I felt like the host is my sister. Great location in Giza, the best view of all 3 pyramids from the rooftop and also a great view of couple of pyramids from the room balcony. Very clean and tidy premises. Great room with all the amenities, very comfortable bed, clean towels, hot water, refrigerator, television etc. the rooftop sitting area is excellent to just relax and clearly view all 3 pyramids. It is also close to local shops and decent food / restaurant options. Exceptional and delicious home made breakfast. It is almost like lunch. The host also accommodated my special request for slightly extended stay. And also helped me with booking a private tour of Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara at a very reasonable and affordable price. The tour operator Mohammed was a very good & honest man. Such a wonderful experience. Couldn't have asked for more. Manal is a great host. If I come back to Cairo. I will definitely stay here again. This hotel is a great value for money. Can't get better than this. If you are planning to stay in Giza then stay at this hotel without any second thoughts. Highly recommended !!

NetherlandsThe view is absolute top! Can't get much closer to the pyramids. This is on the roof.The stay feels very homely, more like a stay-over than a hotel. Or maybe like a small hostel, but with private rooms. So if you like that, or at least don't mind, this place is excellent. I also loved to be able to cook my own food for once. The kitchen and pans were in good order. They also had non-teflon pans 👍, (which I prefer for health and environmental considerations). The room had no view. I slept well in there. The bath is shared, but clean. The location is just away from the main street, it has a back alley feel. I didn't feel unsafe, but know what to expect.

MexicoCommon areas were a little bit dirty, specially the stairs and rooftop. At the next day they have cleaned up the stairs.
The location is great, just a few minutes walking to the entrance to the Pyramids. My room was clean and equipped very good, I had a small balcony and I could see the pyramids from my bed. Besides have a roof top where you can have a plenty view of the three pyramids. They were very kind and supportive, thanks a lot for the attention. As a female solo traveler I felt safe in my room.

Before reaching and during my stay there, she always cared about me and that was very helpful. And breakfast was also very nice and delicious. Views from hostel, wow, it's speechless. Wonderful stay thanks to Ms. Manal. The next time, I'll surely stay at this hostel again. Highly recommended!!

BrazilAs soon as I saw the photos and reviews, I knew I wanted to stay at this place. But when I got there, the surprise was even more positive. The room was so clean, cozy, warm and organized. I loved the sheets and bedding. The view from the terrace is beautiful, just like the photos, and you can walk to the pyramids. The place is also close to the GEM, the new museum, by Uber. But the biggest difference is without a doubt Manal. She is always very kind and proactive. She replied to my messages super fast and helped me with everything I needed. She organized my transfer from the airport so I didn't have to worry about that when I get in Cairo. The breakfast is great too. I highly recommend it!
