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.).

IndonesiaThe room with balcony is a little bit old.
The location of the hotel is amazing, right in front of the Sphinx. The entrance to the Giza Pyramids complex just a throw stone from hotel. We can see the sunset view at pyramids and the sphinx from the hotel rooftop restaurant and our room balcony. Can also see at a glance of sound and light shows from rooftop. There is KFC, Pizza Hut dan many ATM nearby.

MadagascarNothing, really.
Very close to the pyramids, and the view from the rooftop is insane. We loved staying there just to watch the sun set on the pyramids, and then early in the morning to soak in the vibe. Our room was spacious, and the beds were so comfy we slept like babies. Breakfast was great, with a large variety of food. For me, the staff really made the difference. They are very reactive every time we needed something, and they are very helpful and really human. When we left, we needed a car and they arranged it for us. I will stay with them again without any hesitation next time I go back to Giza.

IcelandStaff (except wonderful housekeeping ladies) seemed quite unprofessional. Check in went good, but all communication after that was bit odd. Staff didn't seem to answer questions and rather offered their own tour suggestions. Staff showed up late to serve breakfast, they were sleeping on the entry couch when leaving early. We ate next door few times, and their reception staff was professional, so the contrast was crazy. Bedsheets were quite worn and almost felt "hard" on skin.
Location was amazing with the most perfect view of the pyramids. Room was comfortable and clean, nothing extra special but everything to keep you comfortable during a short stay. Bathroom was clean and had warm water. Rooftop terrace gave panoramic views.

United StatesSome minor things that could be improved - shower caulking/mortar to keep water from exiting shower - breakfast was okay, but did not care for the meats besides the eggs. Can't be improved- outside location... Not on the hotel as that would need fixing by the Giza government regarding road.
You book here for the views ... Not sure there are better spots to drink coffee in the morning or beverages at night and look at the pyramids and Sphinx. Beds were comfy, room was spacious enough and it included breakfast in our stay. Coffee was spot on. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great people.

United StatesGot there around 10 pm, the staff was more concerned with selling us tours than the fact that we were tired and had gotten in late from the airport. The room size was adequate but the configuration was awful, making it functionally smaller than we had hoped.

United KingdomThe trips offered are a bit too expensive, we took one and it was a wonderful day, but we did the rest independently. Shower drainage needs a little attention.
The view took our breath away! You literallly can't beat it in Giza. The staff were wonderful and very helpful, nothing is too much. Fantastic location right opposite the pyramid complex. Amazing breakfast every morning and very reasonably priced restaurant, we ate there every day. Literally opposite the sound and light show (though prepare to be disappointed by it - nothing to do with the hotel.) Lovely hot showers. Windows came up a lot in these reviews, we didn't book a view due to availability, and I couldn't care less about not having a window. It meant it was quiet, and I'd much rather be sitting on the rooftop with that view! Gorgeous sunsets.

New ZealandThe place itself had raving reviews and our expectations were so high, but were not completely met. We had booked a room with a view of the pyramids and balcony, but when we showed up we were given a room that had zero view at all and didn't even have a proper window. We then had to explain that isn't what we had booked and had to show our booking on the app as it was not down as that. Following this our actual room was given to us which we were happy with. So just be aware there are rooms that do not have this view and make sure if you have booked it, that this is what you do get. The room itself is starting to get a little run down, with the flooring starting to come up and the air con not working completely right including the heating function, also the door to the balcony locked, but it was very flimsy and could easily be pushed open. You also need to be aware of the hot water for the shower. This needs to be turned on atleast 30 mins out otherwise you will have a cold shower. Also our expectation from the photos was that the views would be from the room itself through the window. This was not the case and you do need to go out to the balcony which is fine, but just not our expectation when we booked it.
Amazing location and stunning views from the balcony! The breakfast was so good! Especially overlooking the Pyramids. This was a definite highlight. Was really good of the hotel to pick us up from the airport and the driver was great and shared his knowledge of sites as we passed them. Also the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful especially one who went out of his way to help us contact our Uber driver who had poor English and struggled to find us and didn't even take our tip. Really appreciate him.

United StatesSo much trash in the neighborhood. Our window looked over a large trash pile just a few dozen meters from the hotel. I get that it isn’t the hotels trash, but one would hope that some pride might be taken as a neighborhood to do some collective cleanup.
Excellent location. Directly in front of the ‘Sound and Light Show’ entrance, so you can see it in the evening from the rooftop. Great to wake up and see the ancient pyramids out the balcony glass doors from bed. Clean inside. Got beer and wine at rooftop bar, which was nice during the night light show

GermanyThere’s no better view of the Pyramids than from this hotel (and perhaps its direct neighbor). Sitting on the rooftop for breakfast or enjoying an afternoon coffee with a direct view of the Pyramids and Sphinx is absolutely breathtaking. Our rooms (we had a room with direct view to the Pyramids) were clean, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast—served in traditional Egyptian style—was delicious. If you're looking for a hotel close to the Pyramids, here you are in the first row. I would definitely book again!
