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 reviewThe room wasn't clean, the trash basket is still full of trash. And the AC is fake AC, it's just a water fan. The temperature in the room is hot and the water is also naturally super hot. At this price, we feel it's not worth it. The toilet inside the room is broken, we can barely flush the water. In total it was not a pleasant stay.

Verified reviewI had a great stay at Sea Waves Hostel. The owner, Hany, is incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. He goes out of his way to make sure guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Hany also shares great tips and recommendations for things to do in the area, making it easy to discover the best of Hurghada. I highly recommend this hostel if you’re looking for a welcoming and affordable place to stay!

Verified reviewIn short, room without AC, dirt covering everything, it is not a check out room that needs cleaning, not at all, it is a dirty room, Reception, housekeeping and the entire place should not be on booking.com from the start, I wonder how this place was rated for any human being.
To start with, Reception, unqualified, can't take decisions. Room extreme waste. I left the room and didn't stay the night, paid it, no big deal, but waste.

Verified reviewNo need to climb stairs
A few days later they asked me to change the room and the blanket in the new room smelled like urine. Someone peed on the blanket on purpose and they didn't change the blanket at all. The toilet has been leaking and not working properly. Wi-Fi is limited and they will be annoyed to see you surfing the Internet, especially if you watch a video and must be surfing the Internet in your room! they spy u！

Verified reviewThere is a hot kettle in the living room
On the first night, the WiFi didn't work (they were trying to save money), so I went next door use WIFI and was given a hard time sitting in the aisle. Three days later, a big cockroach appeared and I tried to kill it. The cockroach was too big and opened its wings to challenge me and then hid. Blame me for using too much WiFi. How can I use 600GB in 6 days by myself?Very disappointed,. The WIFI is not working because of you, not the customer。

Verified reviewI arrived before 10 in the morning and I already could check-in. The guy at the reception was very very friendly and helpfull. My room was okay, although I only booked the room to have a place for my luggage and have a shower and short rest before my nightflight, the beds were very comfortable. It is a nice place to stay, especially for the price I paid, less then 5 dollar for a single room. Location is also perfect, 2 minutes walking from the main road and beach.

Verified reviewGreeted by Mohamad, very accommodating and a pleasant young man, who went out of his way to help me.
The way they treated their little Tiberian Special. It was hot, chained to a poll. It needs a longer leash, better food, toys and some love. This place would be a gem if you cleaned the roof up. Got rid of the rubbish.

Verified reviewThe bed and the blanket were super comfortable and cozy. The room was big with own bathroom. We could use a kitchen in the house next door and next to us we could use free water and an electric kettle. The rooftop was quite nice and sunny. A big supermarket is nearby.
We arrived late at night and it was one guys shift who seems to have no clue of anything. He was not able to give us the wifi password, wanted to check our reservation with the e-mail we recieved and he did not tell us when breakfast would be.
