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...).

South SudanThe kitchen can be kept cleaner and the corridor is dirty as the hostel is sharing apartment with other units. The lift can also take awhile.
The place was very central in Cairo and easy access to Tahrir, I got even an upgrade due overbooking, the room were spacious with adequate facilities, good prices as well.

SpainThe building looks pretty much abandoned, the lift looks like you're risking your life every time you get in. The room, although big, has way too many beds. I asked for a double not a cuadruple, so there's not much room for nothing else. There was a whole family next door one night and it was super noisy. Also windows are very old and don't keep any noise out, so get ready to be waken up by the very loud pray call. The balcony was very dirty and had no seats and the bathroom stunk badly of sewage.
Good location, breakfast was decent and staff were nice and accommodating.

The staff were really good. Downtown Cairo is very lively and a bit of a culture shock for anybody not used to it, but was enjoyable stay. The staff were the best.

We asked for a double room for me and my boyfriend and they ended up giving us a room with three beds, which was not necessary. But the bed was comfortable and people were very helpful.

Hi, I loved my stay in Australian Hostel. First of all the staff was so friendly and nice people. Secondly, it is in the center of Cairo and close to everywhere. It was really so fun to stay in that hostel , whenever ı come to Cairo , I will make sure that I am staying in that hostel. And Especially ı want to thank Hazem and Mahmud.

United KingdomThe first room we stayed on was full of chlorine smell which was irritant. The sheets in the first room were not clean, but they responded when we asked to change the room. The building and stairs are full of cats’ poop. The place was not really well equipped even with the basics like towels and footwear we had to ask for it.
The air conditioner. It’s quiet and peaceful inside. It is safe and private place to stay in.
