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 reviewlocation was good
Avoid this hotel at all costs. The only good thing about this place is the location, but everything else was a disaster. • The room I booked was not available, so I was pushed into a tiny room. • The shower was broken, and even after waiting 30 minutes for repairs, there was still no hot water. • The sheets were dirty, the towels smelled awful, and the cleaning was clearly not done properly. • At night, they started construction work inside the hotel — extremely noisy, even though staff promised it would last only “10 seconds.” • The name says “View Hotel,” but there was absolutely no view. Completely misleading. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. If you value cleanliness, comfort, or honesty, do not stay here.

It was very very dirty. The sheets and towels had stains and hair on it, there were a lot of flies and it smelled cigarette in the whole hotel. The bathroom was very unpractical there was water everywhere and the toilets were not clean. I would not recommend this hotel, not even for one night…

Verified reviewThe staff, Bishoy and Sara were absolutely fantastic. I arrived at 4am and they let me check in early, served great breakfasts, advised me of great places to eat and see in Cairo and continually asked me if I needed anything and even gave me cold drinks when they saw me coming in out of the heat. Great hosts and I couldn't have asked for better service and the location right on El Tahrir Square was perfect.

Verified reviewOlder building , pictures online made it look better than in real life. Location is great though. There was cat shit in the hallway everyday and the beds were extremely hard. The shower was literally above the toilet and the bathroom didn’t drain the water so everything was wet including the carpet outside the toilet . The staff were very friendly though and tried to accomodate all complaints.

Verified reviewTahrir View Hotel has one of the best locations anywhere in Cairo, located as it is on the Tahrir Square, a stone's throw from the Egyptian Museum, and a short ride from the Khan el- Khalili souk. I stayed there from 6 June till 9th June, 3 nights, in 2025. What will stick in my memory is the wonderful staff in the hotel - Heidi, Saad, Fathy, Sara and Abdelrahman. All of them made our stay very comfortable. They were always very helpful. The location is packed with banks, shops and eateries. For Indian visitors I recommend a walk to the Namaste Indian restaurant in the Rameses Hilton, located on the Nile Corniche, just 800 meters away. And, of course, a walk to the Nile embankment was enchantment overload.
The Tahrir Square view from the hotel is possible only in two rooms out of the 15 they have in the hotel. The rooms are somewhat small, though airconditioned and comfortable. The breakfast is usually a few slices of bread, an egg, and some condiments. Keep expectations realistic and you wont be disappointed.

Verified reviewThe location was great! The breakfast and hospitality was great!
The room didn’t appear ready… the garbage in the bathroom was half full and the toilet paper roll was almost gone. The sample shampoo and conditioner were used. We needed an additional towel. Although a reasonable price, the supplies could’ve been replenished and the bottom sheet possibly a fitted sheet to stay in place.

Verified reviewI really liked that the hotel staff pays attention to the guests' remarks and improves the hotel according their wishes & suggestions. The staff is very kind, attentive and helpful. The breakfast was simple, but delicious and sufficient. The hotel is located at Tahrir Square in an old apartment building, the open entrance of which is right by the M sign of the metro station. There is a stall selling bags and suitcases. It is also very close to the Old Egyptian Museum and the bus station.
