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...).

YemenThe restaurant is located above the rooms. People who walk there at night cause disturbance to those who are trying to sleep downstairs. In addition, there are some boats in the Nile that pass with their loud music. The use of earplugs is advised. They are available at the reception for free.
The crew was friendly. The food was delicious. The room was cozy and offered an exceptional view of the Nile and the tall buildings on the opposite bank. I recommend it for budget travelers.

United KingdomSome noise through the night from nearby nightclubs spots and also “party boats” that run up and down the Nile into the early hours! But it’s central Cairo so I think some noise is to be expected!
Great location, easy walking distance to Tahrir Sq and the Egyptian Museum, Cairo Tower close also. Comfortable and spacious room, very clean, lovely view across the Nile! Delicious breakfast on the roof terrace and staff were very welcoming - friendly and helpful.

LatviaThe hotel is located in very heart of the Cairo! If you are ready to walk, you can reach all good places in Cairo on foot, if not , take a taxi. I liked that hotel is on the real ship! You can enjoy soft movements of the boat in the waters of Nile! What can be better as to wake up with soft and relaxing view of the river and nearby City! I was very happy with my cosy room, good bed and plentiful and tasty Oriental breakfast! Very pleasant and friendly staff! Really recommend this hotel!

United KingdomThe flush of our toilet was broken in our bedroom. Because we only stayed for one night it was let say ok, but again caused us some inconvenience. To be fair, I have to add that staff immediately the next morning arranged to come someone to fix the problem (good for the next customers but not for us).
Friendly and willing to help staff. The location was very good too. We had a wonderful Nile view and we enjoyed hot water in shower.

Such big spacious and we'll design rooms, next to 2 great restaurants and awesome staff. Mustafa was very attentive whenever I needed, and Amr was extra helpful and kind to advise me about Egyptian food, and showed me awesome places around. This place was a great and pleasant surprise.

KenyaI checked in at around 3am and had a bad experience with one of the staff. She helped me with one of my bags and immediately started asking for a tip. This was a put off considering I had just arrived in the country with no loose change to give. (Ps: I did voluntarily tip the day staff when I checked out). Secondly the bed was hard and tiny, I think it's a 3 by 6 and the room were tiny that includes the shower. Ps: it is a boat and not an actual hotel, I wish this part was put in large bold letter. This was a suprise for me as I didn't know I was booking a boat (I will take some accountability for not doing enough research)
It has a nice view of the Nile from the restaurant.

GermanyUnfortunately, that’s where the good impressions ended. The building is entirely made of wood, and the soundproofing is non-existent. When people walked in the rooftop restaurant until 5 AM, it felt like they were walking right on my head—getting any sleep was impossible. The morning brought several unpleasant surprises. First, there was no hot water. Second, there was no shampoo in the bathroom—only a cheap liquid soap. But the biggest disappointment was breakfast. I was told that due to Ramadan, breakfast was only available as a takeaway option. I was handed a small bag containing two cheap packaged croissants (worth about 6 Egyptian pounds) and a tiny 100ml juice (worth around 5 pounds). I respect religious traditions, but if the hotel cannot provide a proper breakfast, it would be reasonable to lower the room price—especially since I paid over €70 for the night. To top it all off, I was woken up in the morning by a loud conversation between the housekeeper and the receptionist right in the hallway. Would I recommend this hotel? Probably not. I felt deceived, and for this price, I expected at least a basic level of comfort.
I stayed at this hotel for one night. The positives: the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and I received a free room upgrade with a small window overlooking the Nile, which was a nice touch in the morning.
