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 location is perfect for people that prefer to remain into the city center during the night (and do excursion during the day) and for people that go in Sharm for the first time; breakfast and dinner can be better, they propose every day the same food; all the workers are real kind, it’s the best think in this hotel ( their smiling and attitude); I apreciate also the massage service (and their staff) into the beach
Every request is slow; We had problem with the payment, they don t accept credit card (incredibile!!!) and We had to insist for this. The room is not clean but every day they changed toels; wifi is working only into the reception area

Verified reviewI attach great importance to swimming. The separated area from the other resorts is tiny. As soon as you ventured more than a meter outside the swimming area, five different lifeguards blew their whistles! Swimming outside the designated areas is prohibited! Greetings Steffen
Dear Steffen, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We truly appreciate that you place great importance on swimming, and we’re glad you chose our resort for your stay. Regarding the designated swimming area, please kindly note that these zones are determined by the local Marine Guard authorities to ensure the safety of all guests. The hotel is required to follow these regulations, and the lifeguards are simply enforcing the rules put in place for everyone’s protection. We understand how this may have impacted your experience, and we sincerely hope it didn’t overshadow your overall enjoyment. Your comments are valuable to us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Hotel Management

Verified reviewThe staff is excellent and on the top is Mr. Ahmed Yousef who is always available for any assistance. The hotel has an excellent location and beach front everything is just 2 steps from the hotel with an excellent value for money, people who rating the hotel bad they can pay twice more for Marina Sharm and they will have almost the same service like in Cataract Layalina.

The room was very old and dated, the shower gel and hand wash smell very bad, the room was next to the street so there was loud music on the whole night. Foods served were very basic, almost inedible . No WiFI.
