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...).

We had a great stay at New Abu Simbel Hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Muhammad and Ali took very good care of us in particular. They went out of their way to make sure our expectations for Abu Simbel were met. Ali drove us to and from the temple multiple times, walking us to the entrance and making sure we knew where to go. When we were done with our visits, he was available to come pick us up. We also did a lovely sunset boat ride with Ali for an additional fee. The food at the restaurant was good and fresh. Breakfast was included, but we were also able to eat lunch there. The property is new, clean, and a good location for visiting the Abu Simbel temple. The room was comfortable and clean with good AC. The shower pressure and temperature was good. If you are visiting Abu Simbel, definitely stay here, you won’t regret it.

Ali and Hamo made our stay in Abu Simble absolutely amazing. Ali organised a lovely sunset boat tour around the temple, and they took us to the temple at sunrise so we got some amazing photos before the tour buses arrived. The food was the best we had in Egypt. The chef made us a lovely home cooked meal of grilled Tilapia fish fresh from the lake across the road. We had breakfast when we got back from the temple and it was delicious! We were really impressed that we had Netflix in our room - much better then more expensive hotels we stayed in during our time in Egypt - and perfect for having an early night ahead of the sunrise temple trip.

GermanyWe are really happy with our stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They always try to make you feel like home. They can also get your tickets for the temple and the light&sound show. We didn’t know this but it would have been a great option. Location wise is quite convenient because it’s next to the bus station. They also have a tuktuk and Hamo will take you back and forth to the temple or wherever in Abu Simbel always with a smile. It was so nice not having to worry about the transportation because Hamo was always there to drive us around and make our life easier. They also helped us with the bus back to Aswan and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel seems also quite new and it is very clean.

United StatesNo shower door & very little drawer space in the closet. Also needed one more larger mirror in the bedroom or hallway (the only one was the mirror above the sink in the bathroom. The location could have been a little closer to the temple, but not that big of a deal.
The breakfast, lunch, & dinner were all very good. The people that worked there were very nice. They opened up the dining room a little early for dinner when we got back from the light show at the Temple.

Very nice and serene oasis in Abu Simbel. Brand new hotel, very modern with contemporary touches also honoring the Nubian heritage (for example women in the morning marched in the alley with encens). The team is truly phenomenal (Mohammed and Ali) - loving and authentic. We felt at home. Also very secure. Prime location in the city - 5 min by car to the temple of Abdul Simbel.

HungaryThis hotel is absolutely amazing. Beautiful, "oriental", very clean,. The bed was very good . The staff very kind. Everything nice and modern though very cosy. Breakfast was also ok... They have also a restaurant not far , where we eat fantastic fish. So I absolutely would recommend this hotel, its absolutely high standard. It is also very near to the road, so easy to find, but dont be afraid, no sound could be heard as windows very good. With great parking , so if you come as a great group no problem where to put car, or bus....

ChinaThe only shortage is that the room is slightly small, the suitcase is not particularly easy to put, and it is not convenient to use.
The service attitude of the staff is very good, it will help you take care of everything. The restaurant is very delicious (arguably the best in Egypt) The room is very clean, fruit and drinks are given away, and the location to the temple is very close.

This is an amazing hotel! The room is clean, spotless, and hot water is always available, impeccable. The service is amazing, Tutu car provides free shuttle to Abu Simbel Temple, where you can book and pick up to watch the sound and light show. There is also a double decker boat to watch the sunrise over Lake Nasser, with a good and safe view. The restaurant's cuisine is fantastic and irresistible. Guests can enjoy a welcome fruit platter, free drinks, and fast Wi Fi upon check-in. The hotel has a Nubian charm, and the staff are all Nubians. They are extremely friendly, especially Ali, who provided a lot of help and even offered free tea.If you are troubled by the crowds and noise of Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, don't be discouraged. Come to Abu Simbel and choose this hotel!
