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.).

GermanyThe hotel spans the 3rd and 5th floors. The reception is on the third floor. During my stay, the building was being built and painted, so it wasn't particularly clean. When work is done, there are always going to be chips. It was also Eid al-Fitr, which meant it was really busy. I didn't enjoy breakfast because I was usually out early. There are a few cats in the building that you can take care of if you like. The hotel is centrally located, and the Go Bus stop isn't far away. There are plenty of small shops where you can buy drinks and snacks. Wi-Fi always worked well and was fast enough. To get to sights, I always used a taxi app; it was the easiest and cheapest way.

I liked the supportiveness of the staff whose English was excellent. It was safe, a lovely historic building, we were able to meet people in the communal breakfast area and overall it was good value for money! oh and a walk away from the Egyptian museum in tahrir square.

Not too noisy despite entrance on busy road and backing onto an open air restaurant street. Bit of atmosphere there. Pleasant staff on desk. Clean with kitchen smart lounge etc to relax. Flexible to your plans and can help with tours etc. Curtains round beds.

GermanyI had the expectation that it would be easy in a „Hostel“ to find other travellers. However, it is a rather small place so they do not have many beds which made it quite hard for me to acquaint with other people.
Good location, breakfast is ok. I would go again but I think there are better alternatives around.

HungaryLack of shower curtains. The water goes everywhere when showering, however none of our other accommodations had any, so it must be an Egyptian thing. The elevator is unreliable. When you gotta climb up to the 5th floor after a night-out, it's a bit disappointing.
Excellent location. Close to the best pubs and street food stalls in the city. The breakfast was great (however a bit boring after a few days since they serve the very same meal every day).

United KingdomIn the afternoons and evenings the road is very busy so taxis and Ubers can take a while. There was only one small bathroom for those in the dormitory to use, not an issue during quiet periods but would be if it was busy. My bed sheet had bits all over it so I'm not sure how clean they are, I slept on top of the blanket as a result.
Well situated central location. Friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere. Clean for the most part too. One of the cheapest places to stay in Cairo. Nice addition of curtains for the bunk beds in the dormitory rooms.
