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...).

SwitzerlandThe room facing the square is a bit noisy, but as a tourist you might not stay there a lot anyway. If sensitive for that I would recommend earplugs for the nights, for me it was not an issue at all.
Really friendly and helpful staff and great value for money. Comfy beds, airconditioning, and the breakfast was nice too.

Saudi ArabiaPersonal only myself which feels a bit awkward but might other might have no issue is, they don’t have external bidet spray (شطاف) for toilet which is mandatory in all Muslim countries. I have been in Georgia and chosen the hotel where they are providing this facility. I totally understood that as per hostel it might be not necessary but it’s good impact for hostel for upcoming travels like me if they found additional facility which will cost you might be around 5$. These are my recommendation, rest everything was perfect.
Everything, especially the 3 beautiful receptionist ladies are so kind and supportive for everything with beautiful smile. Also many thanks to the lady who cooked the breakfast, she was providing breakfast even after the schedule of breakfast. Thank you for your service and everything ♥️. Next time definitely I’ll book again your hostel

I didn’t expect I was going to be that comfortable in this hostel. They behave you profoundly and it is cleaner than what I expected. You cannot find good options a lot in Cairo but even if there would be more, I would give that score

PhilippinesThis is the best hostel in downtown Cairo. You will feel welcome from the moment you step into the hostel. They also offer complimentary drinks while you wait to check in. Marwa at the reception and Krolus are approachable, friendly and very helpful. You can ask them where to get good and inexpensive souvenirs, and they also offer tours around Egypt. The rooms are nice and very affordable. There is a shared bathroom, but I didn't have any problems with it. The bathroom is well-maintained and clean. I will definitely book here again if I get a chance to go back to Egypt.

Hong KongNothing it is more expensive than other hostels in the area in general BUT the value delivered well exceeded the premium I paid The hostel location could be hard to find but its the building entrance is in-between KFC and a travel company
1. Super great hospitality of the hostel with exceptional service i.e. allow me to store luggage during my first day in Cairo (which I only stay for 4 hours before transiting to Aswan) which my booking is on 7th day after . 2. 24 hour front desk with friendly staff, allow customers to use bathroom & toliet even after check out 3. Comfy bed and tranquil environment even it's located at Tahrir Square 4. Convenient location just near KFC at Tahrir Square 5. None of the staff asks for tips or anything which is very rare in Egypt .

ThailandAbout price to desert when adking they say 100 US when pay charge more 113.
Staff was very nice but one thing that I dont understand that when i asked for a trip to desert day say 100 US but when I go so they charge me 113 more so it seem I pay the most expensive in group. But other else was so good to me I think I get more than I give. Except the trip price for Desert 🤣 and when you do it they ask you for a tip too.

TurkeyThe first room that we stayed was pretty dark because it had no window looking up to street. But the second room was opposite since it was on the street and it we had some sunlight. Also the bathrooms can be more clean.
The staff was super helpful and understanding. The location was just PRERFECT. There is no better location as a tourist. We booked private room and they were tidy too.
