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.).

EgyptThe hotel beach is not good for swimming with stiff rocks and shallow water and then suddenly becomes so deep. The restaurant is nice, but prices are high, although similar to other beachfront restaurants in Dahab. The hotel should offer the guests some discount vouchers to encourage them to use the restaurant. You can sit there without being forced to buy anything as a hotel guest, but it does not feel right.
The hotel atmosphere is very homy and the staff are really helpful and do their best to make you feel comfortable. After a while l came to say to my kids "let's go home" instead of typical usage of room. Maybe it is not luxurious but you feel comfortable. The hotel has a diving center and a beachfront restaurant and a rooftop seating area. It lies between the two most lively streets in dahab direct on the beach and the other side on the main commercial street with shops and restaurants. You can find a variety of restaurants close-by. The nearby steak house is nice. You can also walk to the island diving/snorkeling spot which is one of the most pure in dahab.

EgyptNo balcony/terrace with the room. nowhere to hang wet clothes (in a diving resort this is important). very little storage/surfaces. no kettle to make drinks. No housekeeping in 4 nights - I would have liked fresh towels and the bin emptied at least once. Bathroom was wet room and no mop or any way to contain the water.
Good location. Great dive centre. Comfortable beds and working a/c. Decent breakfast.

The location and staff was awesome! They allowed me an early check-in around 10am and allowed me to shower after check out so I wasn’t all sweaty on my bus ride.

United StatesThe bedding on the beds was really sad. Just one sheet and one pillow. They didn’t have top sheets, just blankets. The bedding could definitely have been better but it was clean and comfortable so we were okay.
I loved the location. It had a wonderful sitting area with a swing where you could sit by the ocean. I think it was the best type of spot of any of the hotels and restaurants around the area. It was close walking to the main part of town and to the blue lagoon for amazing snorkeling. We also loved the breakfast in the morning, you have the choice of an Egyptian style or a continental (fruit and toast) and both were great. The good at the restraint was affordable and good and you couldn’t beat the environment!

IsraelWifi was terrible Can be cleaner The picture showed a beach but as it is still on the boardwalk , it does not realy have a private beach you can slide into and swim or so, you need to travel elsewere
Staff is very kind, including the restaurant staff and the rest. Adjacent big Blue Dahab diving club made it perfect not only in terms of diving but also on regular basis helping with stuff like transportation etc. The resort is at the south end of the main boardwalk of Dahab which is great for getting to the center , resturants, shops etc. but still you have your piece of mind and you are not in the middle of the crowdy area

IsraelThe bathrooms were a little hard to keep clean as there was no curtain or squeegee in the room. The location is a walk away from downtown which may not suit everyone.
The staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive. Rooms were comfortable, with good AC and comfy beds. Breakfast was very good. The hotel's location was in a quiet area without disturbances.

South AfricaThe hotel wasn't very welcoming or informative about the stay i.e. what time is breakfast, when are rooms cleaned, what facilities do they have available (diving etc). The rooms are okay and have air con but there is nowhere to hang towels or wet clothes (swimming gear etc) and no clothes horse. The room had a fridge, but no kettle or cups/glasses. Very basic and fairly clean.
The breakfast was good, you could have continental or Egyptian, however, there was no fruit or yoghurt offered. The location was good as it was further south and in a quieter location with a little supermarket close by to purchase bottled water etc. The hotel has a very nice deck area where you could hang out on the cushions and chairs. The restaurant staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful and the food was great.
