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 reviewEverything! I was looked after so so well. Early trip to Abu Simbel, they arranged a boat for me to cross the river, without asking the gave me a packed breakfast and made me lunch, a really good lunch. On the day of check out I had a late night train and I was allowed to stay until the train arrived. This place is the best I've been at in Eygpt! Highly recommend! Thank you all so much!

Verified reviewEverything was absolutely perfect. The view of the Nile from the hotel was breathtaking. Getting to the island was a breeze—just cross the mainland on the ferry, and the property is conveniently located just moments from the ferry dock.

Verified reviewA apreciat · This was an excellent accommodation, and the value for money could not have been higher. The host(s) were always available downstairs if we needed something. The breakfast was amazing and the view from the terrace could not be beat. The house is also very close to the public ferry coming from the East Bank.

Verified reviewThis place exceeded our expectations! We loved everything about it ! First of all, it's on a cute, quiet island 2 minutes by ferry (only 10 egyptian pounds/20 cents). We booked the rooftop flat which had everything we needed. The view over the Nile river is simply priceless ! The location, the view, the flat, the breakfast, the price and especially the owners, made our experience unforgettable! Plus, Doha helped us with all our tours (Abu simbel, boat rides, jabal abou el hawa, etc) at the best price. We cannot thank this family enough for the amazing 3 days we spent in Aswan and we're definitely coming back !

Verified reviewGamal and his family were very welcoming and helpful. He helped us with arrangements for a 4am boat trip back to Aswan and came with us at 4am to the harbour, which is a very short walk from the guest house. It was no hassle at all to travel over to the island and we are happy with our choice

Verified reviewThe family were wonderful and very accomodating! the location is very peaceful and they were able to help us with getting to Abu simbel. On arrival the family offered us a lovely mango juice on the house and went above and beyond by also providing excellent breakfast, and a breakfast box for the abu simbel trek - Internet is surprisingly fast and the terrace had a great atmosphere + view!
