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.).

AustraliaGreat place to stay, family owned business, Abu and his family are extremely helpful, happy, and interactive. Great location, walking distance from the pyramids, delicious home made food options (especially if you like kofta!). Views of the pyramids and sphynx are spectacular from the roof. When I lost my phone, Abu went out of his way to help me buy a new one straight away.

Great family run hotel. Incredible views of the pyramids, friendly and helpful owners. Able to organise tours and drivers at a good price. Free bottled water. The free breakfast is great. It’s about a 2 minute walk to the pyramid ticket office / entrance to the complex. The rooftop terrace is amazing. Watching the sun set/ rise over the pyramids during breakfast/ dinner is spectacular.

Beautiful view from the roof terrace, great staff that are courteous, friendly, and very hospitable. If you are planning to visit the pyramid during your trip in Cairo I would highly recommend at least one night stay at this hotel and to book your pyramid tour through them at a great price. The hotel will also arrange for an airport pickup and drop off at a fair price. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

Good location to visit the pyramids. Close to the entrance of the Sfynx. Not to the main entrance. That needs a 20 minutes ride.

BelgiumGreat location, AMAZING views. Was a bit worried about the smell from the horses and camels based on other reviews, but this didn't bother us at all. Very very friendly family, complementary bottled water whenever you want. The owner would always go out of his way to ensure we have a great stay, and even gave us hints on how to negotiate with souvenir sellers. Other reviews say that extra trips are pushed, but I would say that the owner is just really enthusiastic and wants to help you enjoy your stay, if you don't want to do any of the trips, he won't force you to. Excellent value for money. We even got a free upgrade.

I rarely rate any stay a 9/10 but, in this case, nine is very well justified. My overall impression of the place was that the owners/managers are quite considerate. We got an upgrade (without charges), we needed extra time during check out and they agreed (again, without charges), the room had all 3 types of plug points for our devices, there were breakfast boxes available for people leaving early in the morning for a trip. The place is family owned and operated. They have a decent breakfast spread in the morning. And they provide you unlimited bottles of water (its hot outside, you will need them). Overall, wonderful staff, good breakfast, and very considerate attitude.

ItalyEverything was perfect.
This family run hotel is amazing. The staff will do anything to help you, they're extremely kind and helpful. The position is just perfect, in front of the pyramids, less than 5 minutes walking from the entrance. The food available at the hotel is very tasty. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, the bathroom has everything you need. The rooftop will delight you with the view on the pyramids. I couldn't be happier with my choice of this hotel! I definitely recommend it to everyone!

Very friendly owner who organised a day tour for us to the pyramids, Sakkara and Memphis with a lovely passionate guide (Basant). Breakfast is served on the roof top and from there, the view of the pyramids is beautiful. We also appreciated the booking of a car to the railway station (rather than a van which is more expensive as we didn't have a lot of luggage).

TaiwanThis inn is absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome to the excellent service and breathtaking views, everything was perfect. While the facilities are simple, the rooms are clean and comfortable. There were a few ants, but that didn’t bother me at all. The location is fantastic, and the price is very affordable, making it an ideal choice for travelers looking for a budget-friendly yet well-located stay. A special shoutout to Abu at the front desk—he is incredibly kind and welcoming. Staying here was a great experience, and I’m so happy I chose this place. Highly recommended!

TurkeyRooms can be cleaner. Giza is a hell including cars, camels, horses, horny and rude people but that’s not about the hotel. Pls be careful when you want to go around, especially at the night.
Of course the owner and reception guy Abou. He is your family, he always helps, he warns you about all the dangers in Giza. Location is near to the entrance of pyramids. In the rooftop, you can see pyramids.
