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.).

SpainThey recommended us very good places to eat, visit and enjoy. I would repeat without a doubt. Khaled, Noura and Loli are the best ones, also the ladies that make the breakfast (unfortunately I don't know the names).

Awesome staff! This is the best investment for this place. Loved the solo bunk with a curtain, breakfast is simple but is good. They helped me with a guide and recommended an amazing Koshery. Only two bathrooms but it really wasn't an issue, I never had to wait.

Excellent location “right in front of” the Tahrir square with incredible hosts. Noura is the loveliest receptioner I have ever met in my life, extremely sweet and helpful. Nice facilities, surprisingly delicious breakfast (fresh mango juice!) and pleasant services. A place I would definitely comeback for :)

IrelandVery good location, so close to the Egyptian museum. Noura was super helpful she helped us throughout our time in Egypt. She organised tours, airport transfers and even go us to try Koshary which is a delicious Egyptian dish. She was so friendly and helpful and because of her we had a even better experience in Egypt. The hostel also stored our luggage safely while we went out exploring Cairo. Thanks Noura and Tahrir Square Hostel.

United StatesThere was just one bathroom. They don't give you different options regarding to the breakfast just like basic egyptian. If you want a tour by the pyramids doit by yourself!
I like the room, the staff was really nice and helpful, the laundry service was great and the kitchen was nice... Josse or Yoseb offered a tour by the city and he was really great very informative and kind person I recommend him if you want a tour knowing the local places and food. He is the guy you need.

United KingdomNot the hostel's fault at all, but there were very few guests at the time so not a lot of social opportunities.
Very central location, right by Tahrir Square, very convenient for the Egyptian Museum (although when the new one opens in Giza, there will be less reason to be in this area as a tourist!). Comfortable, affordable private room. A special word for one of the staff, Noura, who was totally welcoming and provided really helpful information and recommendations. She is an absolute gem.
