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.).

The hostel is very central, close to the Egyptian Museum. The hotel is very new and clean, with wooden furnitures. But the best thing is the staff! They are super kind, also during night hours. They are very supportive. I really reccommend it!

CanadaEverything is great. If we had to put something negative, we would say the beds are a little bit hard, but other than that, everything is fine.
The staff was great and always helpful. We mostly had to interact with Ziad, whose smile and attention were very appreciated. He offered early breakfast for the day we went to the pyramids and gave us a fan at night when the AC stopped working. We then could switch room. Breakfast is big and great. Location is perfect. Communication is easy. The rooms we not noisy at all. The price was very good for what we had. Wi-fi was also working very well. We would definitely recommend.

SpainHonestly - for the price we paid I have nothing negative to say about this place.
Absolutely wonderful place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice twin room with ensuite and excellent Aircon. 2 communal areas with kitchens - free tea coffee and bottled water. The breakfast was also very good. Great location right in the middle of downtown.For the price I can't believe how they do it.

South KoreaI had a wonderful experience staying at this hostel in Cairo. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — they always greeted me with a smile and were happy to answer any questions I had about the city or travel tips. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fresh, tasty, and a perfect way to start the day before heading out to explore Cairo. The atmosphere at the hostel was also relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to meet other travelers. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Cairo. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and warm hospitality.

GermanyCairo is quite noisy everywhere, and one has to get used to it. So if one has difficulty sleeping, earplugs would be advised, as the noise from the street could be heard in the room. However, my room was facing a side street, so it was more or less acceptable, at least for Cairo standards.
The Hostel is very centrally located, in a lively area and close to the Egyptian Museum. It is also clean, But the most important asset of the Hostel are the people running it. They made me feel very welcome in every way they could. They were always very polite and helpful with anything I needed (e.g. ordering food for me, offering me advice or information about the surroundings), and always with a sincere smile. It felt like a second home for me. I would definitely come back if I am in Cairo again in the future.

TurkeyThe hostel was very clean. It is in a central location close to the Nile River, the Egyptian Museum and Tahrir Square. The staff was very helpful and friendly, their hospitality was very good. We would like to thank Mr. Bassam, Mr. Basem, Mrs. Eveny and Mrs. Omnia for their friendliness and hospitality. Although we did not use it, the hostel also offers kitchen facilities for you to cook your own meals. Thank you.
