How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Could do with (quite) a bit more pressure in the showers Only three shower/toilet cubicle for the whole hostel might be a tad short on busy periods But for the price and location, this is very much on par with anything else. Wifi didnt quite reach all the way to the room #2
Cool atmosphere, very chilled and relaxed vibe. Decent breakfast with Luis always a smile on his face. Lots of take away and a beer shop downstairs make for easy times on the rooftop in the evening. I like that they provide filtered water for refills The partner "Octopus Divers" shop next door is very well setup, professional, good quality equipment and Abdu a great dive master/ instructor

A gorgeous rooftop chill space and super authentic people await you at My Hostel in Dahab. Whether you're a diver, a hiker, a digital nomad or just want to relax, this is the spot. Definitely do their Mount Sinai trek. The hostel's right above a store so easy access to snacks, and the surrounding eateries are great too. Felt like I'd been here for weeks rather than days, in the best way, and I'll miss all the beautiful humans I met there. ❤️

I planned to stay 2 nights here but stayed 4 nights instead. People are super nice here, no matter staff or backpackers. Every night you can find someone to talk with on the rooftop and share your stories, travel experience, or diving experience. On my last day, I had authentic homemade Egyptian food here (my bad memory, forgot the name). Also, they have an excellent location to the center and main street within walking distance. Highly recommend this hostel! I will come back for sure!

My bed was a bit squeaky making too much noise. I was a bit stressed not to disturb my fellow dorm mates. But the hostel was full and Jesus could not replace me. Maybe some oil might have solved it. Finally bring you own locks, lockers do not have locks on them.
The wi-fi is the best in Egypt, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the facilities are clean, the location is nice. Co-working space is also a nice touch. Staff helps with everyhing, you can feel the genuine care. Breakfast was top class, it always comes with a morning chat and a great cook.

I found the breakfast to be a bit mediocre. No bed lamps or curtains on the bunk beds. When there are 6 places in a room its nice to be able to darken your sleeping space. When people partied on the roof top terrace it was noisy.
A good location in town close to the restaurants and dive centres. The dorm room for girls was big. The roof top terrace very nice. The owner was very nice, but didn't see much of him.
