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.).

Perfect view of the Sphinx and Pyramids from our balcony, room, and breakfast terrace. The staff were friendly, helpful, kind, and always available. The breakfast was generous and varied with non-stop juice, tea, and coffee.

United KingdomFor the convenient location and price, nothing.
Breakfast with a view of the pyramids and sphinx. The ticket office for the sphinx entrance is across the road (opened 8.30 in May - go early before the busses start arriving). You have to turn the hot water on 20min before you use it. Our flight arrived at 1am so the (25$) airport pickup was a life-saver. Breakfast was basic but tasty.

This place has the best rooftop of Pyramids view. The name of the hotel matches the experience. The breakfast was great. The staff were so helpful along with the owner. If you come to the Pyramids and stay in this place, you won't regret it.

United StatesBeing on the main road there was a lot of noise in the evening, but this seems to be standard in Egypt and we slept fine with earplugs.
Everything about this stay was great - probably the best we had in Egypt. Great location, helpful staff, comfortable bed. They really went out of their way to make sure we had anything we needed.

The view over the Giza plateau from the balcony is unrivalled. Every member of staff was pleasant and courteous and could not do more to help us locate missing airport luggage. Despite the windows being paper thin the noise from street at night really isn't as bad as some describe imo.

United StatesNEVER, never was picked up at the airport after 2-3 email correspondences with the property, getting to the property from the airport by taxi at 3:00 AM was not the best. Bathroom was old and needed a facelift. Refrigerator was not very cold. With all that being said I would return in a heart beat, GREAT LOCATION and staff.
GREAT location ........... I mean great location and view. Roof top breakfast was just amazing with the views. Great cold air conditioning. Rooftop cafe/bar for a cold Stella. I arrived very early, check-in guy was great. Sound and light show right at your door step from room window and rooftop. Breakfast was good. Staff was nice and helpful. Good WiFi.

CanadaThe paid buffet was crowded and we had to run for food. I booked "the room with private bathroom", you need to know that it has no window and filled with 3 double beds so probably a bit small for a family of 4. From the photos, I guess the pyramid view room probably better for us.
Great location and rooftop terrace restaurant with view of Pyramids and sphinx.
