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.).

United KingdomThe hotel was uncomfortable and very run-down, the roof-top swimming pool could have been great but it was filthy and the surrounding area looked like it was used as a staff dorm. In our room, the shower was broken and although they tried to fix it the temperature control needed to be replaced, and there were many sudden risks of scalding. The breakfast was basic, poor quality food, and unappetizing. The reception staff were unhelpful and the manager just sat in the main reception chain-smoking, when I tried to engage the manager in conversation he spoke no English.
The best thing about this hotel was the amazing location at the foot of the Giza Pyramids, the view from breakfast and from the associated roof-top restaurant was fantastic.

United StatesThe staff are very friendly. It's aleast 20 minute walk to the giza pyramid and the national museum. Pricing was fair. They also clean your room spotless. I had a nice Balcony view. They also have store in side the hotel so you don't even have to leave the hotel for supplies. Pharmacy and current exchange was only a block away from hotel so that was nice as well. Everyone speaks relatively good English and some Spanish. Over all great experience I will definitely go back .

HungaryEven a homeless shelter would have a better food selection and quality. The eggs were fried in a dirty and rusty frying pan, and they were always slimy and under cooked so we all got a salmonella infection from it. The elevators are just nasty, the windows of them are covered in so much grease that u can barely see out. There was No hot water in our room , and sometimes the toilet didnt work. There was No internet connection in the rooms, We had to sit at the recepcion if We wanted to use the wi-fi. There were really loud events hosted at the hotel by local people well after midnight, which made sleeping impossible. Overall Its a dirty and very outdated hotel with a great view. Also the hotel is right next to a Huge highway So you will hear traffic noise non stop. To European standards this is a 2 star hotel at max.
The view to the pyramids.

Saudi ArabiaVery bad breakfast, very limited and breads are awful and no oven for reheat. Last day before hours before check out, I left my room for 30 min. I returned back and wasn’t able to use the key because they checked out by themselves without asking me , even so it was very early to check out and all my bags and jewelry inside the room. Finally Mrs. Nour helped me to enter the room . Also I asked receptionists for a stamped invoice with price details to send to my work, they said they will prepare . I checked out then they didn’t prepare the invoice and told me get it from Booking.com. Isaiah I need detailed stamped one for my work. I had to go because they were late and I had a flight. I told them I will have the invoice when I return back. I returned and they left me for discussions and making long calls about my invoice. I felt something strange and mystery. Also I was late so, I asked them to send to my WhatsApp and of course until now I didn’t receive any invoice from them. Prices in the coffee shop mbc are very expensive with very bad quality.
Location is good MRS. Nour was very helpful.

AustraliaThe hotel is in a run-down and dusty area in Giza and shops (??) are a minimum of 1km walk. The bathroom vanity leaked and marble was missing around the edge. There was no hot water (even after running water for 10+ minutes). The breakfast is outside on the 4th floor but at least it is under cover. Hotel staff were friendly and arranged a Nile Dinner Cruise for us after the original tour company never came to pick us up. Other hotel staff were less helpful - telling us to get an Uber to another hotel (that never came) instead of ordering a tax for us when I politely requested a taxi.
The foyer is beautifully decorated and the view from a "Pyramid View" room is spectacular. The room is large and air conditioning works well.
