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.).

United StatesWhat we booked: (This double room's standout feature is the hot tub. The double room includes a private bathroom, well-fitted with a walk-in shower, a bath, a bidet, a hairdryer and slippers. The air-conditioned double room offers a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a washing machine, a private entrance, soundproof walls as well as an inner courtyard view. The unit has 1 bed.) There was no hot tub, no slippers, no washing machine, no inner courtyard view, and no breakfast. Air conditioner dripped water onto the floor.
Location was great, we were able to walk to some of the places we wanted to visit.

ItalyWhen I arrived they told me there was a problem with my room so they changed it relocating me in another building 5 minutes far away. WiFi was very slow and sometimes absent in my room. The curtain of the shower is useless since after you take a shower the bathroom is flooded.
The room and the bathroom were clean. Nice of them they let me check in earlier than the actual scheduled check in time. The staff were great and kind. Location is very good in the city centre, from it you can easily walk to most places. Breakfast was very good, they also brought me something before 8:30 (breakfast starting time) because I had a tour.

FranceNothing, everything was perfect
The staff is amazing and helpful they make you feel like home. The hotel is on a 3rd floor of an old building, but they are the same historical buildings all over Cairo. The location is just perfect as you are on a small street, and you avoid the noise of the city, and you are central to everything by walk, public transport, taxi or uber. It was better than what I was expecting. I highly recommend.

United StatesArrival a little confusing, the elevator was difficult to understand at first. The two doors to reception were very squeaky and need oiling. They woke us at night, and in the morning.
Good air conditioning, good refrigerator, great shower, comfortable bed, spacious room. Cat. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

Portugalwe had to walk 4 floors when we arrived since the elevator works only for guest who already have a key. Not a bad thing, just a comment :)
Everything was great, from the very friendly and helpful staff, to the room itself. Perfect location as well, we could walk to the Egyptian museum. The breakfast was very tasty and was brought to the room, which was also nice, and the room had amazing conditions. The wifi worked great, which was a first in Egypt for us :) thank you for everything, we totally recommend this place! PS. Don't be mislead by the building of the place, the conditions are very surprising :)

GermanyThere was no hanging in the bathroom. Warm and cold shower were available, but the water flow was poor sometimes.
A security guard let us in the elevator when we arrived, since we did not have the key to enter the elevator. The elevator was fine for us, but I could imagine why some westerners or europeans would be freaked out by it. The staff was always friendly. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good but basic. There was AC and refrigerator in the room but we didn't use either. One side of the curtain rod was broken, but that didn't bother us too much. Toiletries were provided. There was a cupboard, which had some hanging, also a cosmetic table which had great lighting. Place was okayish for the price.
