How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGreat swimming pool with a beautiful view on the Nil river, which is just next to it (we had an unforgettable boat trip to Karnak temple directly from the hotel). The staff is very friendly and with good English, which is not that standard in Egypt ;) They even made a birthday cake for our daughter. Kids loved lizards in the room.
We think that despite truly natural and amazing surroundings, trees, flowers, river, etc. the rooms should be properly cleaned and secured. Even lizards were sweet, the rest insects (ants and cockroaches) in the bedrooms were very uncomfortable.
Hello from Luxor. It was an absolute pleasure to have you here and we look forward to hosting you again. We promise that we will work on what you have mentioned. thank a lot for your review and good luck. Al Baeirat Hotel Team.

There is nothing to like in this hotel, cleaning is not enough, mosquitoes, insects, gekos etc in rooms. I had a Sleepless night, way to the hotel is terrible, staff is also not kind. STAY AWAY

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a very calm location, and the bungalow we stayed in was spacious and very comfortable for me, my wife and two kids. The boat to take you to the other side of the Nile River was a nice surprise, and the restaurant space and the pool were clean and well organised.
Finding the hotel was a bit of a challenge as Google Maps would route you through some very small roads, but the location is correct, and we just needed to find the correct road to get there.

Verified reviewOnly their employees.
The place was disappointing. The hotel is located in a neighborhood with unpave streets. Their restaurant has an earthen floor, as well as the patio, only the part of the hallway that goes to the room have a nice floor. The place needs upkeep. We only stayed one night because it was too late to look for a hotel.
Hello And Good Evening. Actually your review is unfair,As our hotel located In A rural area,surrounded by the Nature of the West bank of Luxor,where people could see how the local ife is.It is the main road which we are not allowed to change,but the government.We look forward to hosting you again at our humble local hotel in the west bank of Luxor.

Verified reviewNice location at the West Bank of the Nile. Extra touch is the free boat service to go to the east bank. The hotel has a lot of space for children with a pool table and pool. The room was a charming house with a lot of space. Breakfast was good. Dinner ok too. It’s possible to rent bikes for exploring the West Bank.
Hotel arranged a transfer from the airport at midnight, but when we were in the car the police stopped the car at the airport because of problems with the papers. In the end we arrived at the hotel, but this was inconvenient especially because it was at night with children. Hotel said it was Egypt authorities.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a very quiet area on the west bank. It is indeed the opposite of the chaotic east bank. True that downtown, bazar and the temples are in the east side but the hotel provides free rides on their boat in both directions. And crossing the Nile is always better than any other road. Main activities have been Luxor archaeological sites. However The pool table and the ping pong also provided me and my daughter with great ime when we were not just sitting in front of the river. he pool was open but in January... The staff was always super kind. A special thanks to Saad for the touristic hints and the pleasant chats on any subject.
Many small things can be improved here and there, but indeed small things and if you are not looking for 5 standard, the place is worth every penny
Hello Luca,It was really lovely to have you here at our hotel! We look forward to hosting you again.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at Al Baeirat! I flew in late at night and was seamlessly picked up in a complimentary taxi and then sailed across the quiet evening waters of the Nile in the hotels small private ferry boat. It was the perfect way to arrive in this amazingly magical place. Ahmed lugged my bags all the way off the boat, past the river side pool and along the picturesque pathway to my very cute Bungalow. I loved it instantly.....large entrance hall with full wall length mirror and big cupboards for clothes, the main bedroom had a high round ceiling and arches, two big comfy beds to choose from, a small safe, plus beautiful murals painted on the walls. Outside all the bungalows have their own private gardens with sofas and low lighting in the evenings. The restaurant is directly onto the Nile and you have a choice of either tables with benches or large, lounge sofas with big marble table in the middle.....Large breakfast in the morning and if you like real coffee ask for the Turkish coffee as otherwise you will get a Nescafe cappuccino. That's the same in most places though..... The staff and in particular Saad were super friendly and we had tranquil evenings outside around the fire with some of the other guys playing local drums and singing...This is what anyone who knows India calls a shanti place :) The guys will help you to get taxis or Tuk tuks to the sights or if like me you want to check out the local hood, its a short walk onto the Main Street where a tuk tuk or taxi will shortly stop and you can barter for the price.... The hotel is extremely conveniently placed making it very easy to get to either East or West Bank sites.... I totally loved this place and will definately be back! Thankyou Al Baeirat!
No Wifi in any of the rooms though they have said that they're going to change this....It's very nice to sit at the restaurant and use the wifi but if like me you work online it can be a bit annoying.... Saying that I'm writing this now from the hotel and enjoying the comfortable and very picturesque setting...:)...listening to the boats go past and background prayers humming in the distance.
Thank you so much,Leona.It is absolutely nice to have you here with us.

Verified reviewvery nice host and nephew. Both also speak good English & German, very helpful and friendly people. The resort is located directly on the Nile, on the quiet side. Boat transfer to the other side possible (own dock). very nice, chilled out facility, good vibes. delicious food in the restaurant! Go there! Unfortunately we were only there for one day due to further travel, you can stay there longer!
All good!!

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved this place. This authentic hotel by the river has large, clean rooms and is very comfortable.There is a boat available any time you need to cross the river and the view is magnificent. Breakfast was good. We had the beef goulash here one day and it was very delicious. What made this special for us was the staff. Rafat was an absolute star, helped us with everything. Everyone felt genuine and nice. My mom and I had the best time.
Everything was great, honestly. Thank you everyone. If we ever come back to Luxor, we will be seeing you again.

Verified reviewThe room was very comfortable and clean, and the owner was really nice. We needed to go out to buy something at night, and the owner even gave me a ride on his motorcycle. If you are coming to the hotel by taxi, make sure to double-check the location, as the hotel name is very similar to the name of the town, which can easily lead to another hotel by mistake. The hotel can arrange a pickup for you, but it cost us 300 EGP at night. Overall, the stay was very pleasant! Highly recommended!
Thank you for your comment.Hope to see you again soon.

The boat drop off is a little out of the city but it’s really cheap to get a cab.

Verified reviewVery peaceful and quiet location. Taking the free boat to the east bank (and back) is very convenient. The main sites on the west bank are not so far away, a short taxi ride (or a long walk) is all that's needed.
No wifi in the rooms or even phone signal, only in the dining area.
