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.).

SwedenThe staff were great and the dive guide was amazing. They did everything for us to enjoy the stay. The roof terrace made hanging around and sunbathing very nice. Yes it’s lokaled like 10 min walk from the city and the surrounding area looks a bit like a warzone, but me and my friend had the best time! Cheers

EgyptSmooth check-in, hospitable and friendly staff, very clean. Five-minute drive or 15-minute walk to downtown and there are supermarkets nearby. Mr. Omar was always available to assist with any requests we had, including arranging dives, transport, recommendations. Thank you for your hospitality!

United KingdomThe wifi only worked at the terrace and not in the room. I felt like there was a lack of furniture or bedside tables to put your personal effects. It was great to have a fridge but also not much else in the ‘kitchen’ area.
Omar is a really great host and will go out of his way to help you with whatever you need. He helped us get a SIM card, dinners, a taxi into town, diving etc. The living area was ample and the bed was very comfortable, the shower was good and the terrace at the top was a nice place to chill at the end of the day.

EstoniaThe B&B itself is amazing, but the location is very strange. In the middle of a “ghost town”. If you are not very experienced traveller or do not like unexpected situations or surroundings then we suggest to book something else. The authentic city centre is just a short walk away, but we couldn’t do it because dogs started to follow us (and there are tens and tens of half strays) and started to bark and attack us. Was quite scary. Also when we were visiting the chef was not in the house, all the cafes and shops were in the centre where we could not go because of the dogs, it was very strange experience all together. Omar and the staff were very helpful and we could order food in and one guy even helped us to walk to the store and scare the dogs off.
All the staff and host Omar are amazing and very attentive. B&B was very comfy and clean. The rooftop terrace was amazing and cozy. Animal friendly place - we stayed with our dog.

ItalyBreakfast is good, but only continental. I would suggest to foresee at least few options for "sugar-eaters" like us!!
Meeting Omar was one of the most positive experiences we had in Egypt. He is an excellent host, extremely kind and dedicated, he helped us in effectively arranging amazing activities even without any prior notification, at the right price and with impeccable precision. The structure is basically new and well equipped. If something is missing, Alam B&B's amazing staff will do their best to help. Value for price paid is favorable beyond any expectation. Thanks Omar, we sincerely wish you all the best!

EgyptI didn't like that there were 2 dogs there and I have problems with dogs, almost the rest of roommates had no problems with dogs though, so that's just my personal problem, yet the hosts respected it and kept both of the dogs away from me all the time, I truly thank them for everything
The breakfast was simple, not very filling for a grown up man as myself, but it was good overall I loved the cleanliness in the room and bathroom, I needed a good comfy sleep with the airconditioner and that's what I got, a wifi to surf the internet I really liked the hosts being friends with all of us, also I became friends with the other roommates although I m an introvert myself. Even though I was only travelling for 12 hours for Work purposes, I really loved my stay there with everyone The friendly hosts kept offering and making us hot drinks all the day, it was amazing! we even played ping pong with everyone there I just loved it!

LuxembourgWe booked a one-bedroom apartment (with private bathroom, living room, washing machine..) and we were offered a room in a shared apartment with shared bathroom. Finally we moved to a room with private bathroom, but this is definitely not what we booked. (this issue was corrected on the booking page so it should not happen again to future guests). Only removing 1 point as the rest of our stay was very good. Wifi is only on the rooftop, not on lower level rooms.
The owner is a very good guy and he made everything in his hands to ensure we had a good stay, he even shared his dinner with us on the first day. Breakfast is good. The rooftop is very nice, and it also has a kitchen guests can use. In general it is a very friendly environment.
