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 owner is super hospitable and pleasant. We were welcomed by tea and fresh mango juice. The room is super clean and the bed is extra comfy. It was a delight to wake up to the sound of birds after coming from Cairo. The hotel is right next to the ferry port and a popular restaurant.

PhilippinesWe were given the three bed room as it’s the available at the moment. It was very clean, and definitely would definitely recommend. We had 4 luggages in total since we stayed in Egypt for about 2 weeks, their location is surreal perfect cos it has almost direct access to boat station. They arranged for us the tour and Nile cruise in an honest price. Thank you for making our Aswan experience the best! The couple behind this was very hands on to make the stay memorable. Thanks a lot!

IndiaThe host was extremely warm and polite. Hospitality at its peak. Arrangement for various local trips (Aswan + Abu Simbel + Transfer to Luxor) were also taken care of by him at a decent price on short notice. Chatted with him on Egyptian culture, people etc which enriched the experience for us of the whole trip. Loved our stay.

The accommodation was very good; the manager and her husband were very nice. They helped to make an appointment for the driver to pick us up at the airport, and also prepared Nubian drinks and desserts for us. The scenery on the balcony was very good. We met her husband on the balcony and enthusiastically gave us desserts. I recommend everyone to live here.

United KingdomWe had to sleep early to wake up to go and see Abu Simbel, and it was a little loud at times however we were trying to sleep at 8pm at night
We absolutely loved staying at Crystala Guest house even though we were only there for one night. Our host was the kindest person we have come across during our time in Egypt and seemed to genuinely care about us, and making sure we were ok. The hotel is across the water on elephantine island, which you get to by a small ferry from the Elephantine port (which is beside KFC) which costs 10 Egyptian pounds. The ferries are really frequent, in the day they go back and forth constantly and the journey is about five minutes in length. We did the journey at sunset and it was absolutely magnificent. If you’re travelling between 6pm and 6am, Ahmed (your host) will organise a ferry which I think is 50 egp if it’s at night as you may be the only people on the boat. The hotel itself is recently refurbished and really comfortable to stay in, as well as just a beautiful location. There is also a great restaurant right beside the restaurant by the water, so if you want to eat don’t feel like you need to cross back to the mainland. I felt that the people we met on Elephantine island were some of the most genuine and I would go back in a heart beat.
