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 StatesWhile I’ve never had housekeeping randomly deliver extra towels when not asked for (it felt more like a request for a tip then just going above and beyond - but this may be my bias), still, the hotel is overall lovely and the little things like having a chocolate hour or ice cream available in the lobby says so much about the impeccable care and service they aspire to.
This is a wonderful property overlooking Elephantine Island and the Nile. Fantastic breakfasts, and I appreciated the humor and service of our breakfast server, Ramadan. If you can, go to the restaurant Panorama or just that and great food!

Trinidad and TobagoElectricity was cutting out and the lighting in the room was not very good overall. Food at the restaurant was not as fabulous as other hotels we stayed at in Egypt.
We got an upgrade to a fabulous room. The decor was very inviting and all amenities were provided. We even had a plug converter on loan from the front desk. Staff were very helpful and efficient. They seemed all very cheerful The hotel is very beuatiful and the space relaxing and romantic. Note to travellers- it is very hot and the temperatures don't cool down until after sunset. The view and location in the Nile was a wonderful experience for us. Sustainability seems to be a good focal point for this hotel, which is good.

United StatesIf you’re looking for one of the best luxury hotels in Aswan, this is the best. Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. There is another big-name 5 star hotel in Aswan, they charge almost triple the price and you get less than this hotel. Save your money and choose Movenpick. It is the superior option. Taysser the guest relations manager went above and beyond during my stay and I would come back to Aswan just to see her.

United StatesLoved the view of the island with the nobles’ tombs. Suite was perfect in every way. Highly recommended to stay here. Chocolate bar was a plus. The entertainment was nice (I even got to “perform” twice. Playing the drum was a lot of fun as was twirling in the lighted skirt.). The staff is very nice and helpful.

Saudi ArabiaJust a minor inconvenience worth mentioning—the bathroom lights were quite bright, and with a glass panel at the top, the light spilled into the room at night, which made it a bit tricky to use without disturbing others. The shower drainage was also a little slow, but neither issue took away from the overall comfort and enjoyment of our stay.
Our stay at this resort was truly exceptional, and the location played a huge part in that. We were lucky to get Nile view rooms, and waking up to that breathtaking scenery every day made the experience incredibly memorable and well worth it. The sense of peace and serenity from the view alone added so much value to our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were warm, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs—including a late check-out, which we really appreciated. Every interaction we had with them reflected their sincere commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. The breakfast spread each morning was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. What stood out the most was their thoughtfulness in catering to guests with early excursions—particularly for Abu Simbel. They not only offered a 3 AM breakfast service but also provided packed breakfast boxes for those on the go, which was incredibly convenient and thoughtful. The resort itself is tucked away in a location that feels very exclusive and peaceful, far from the noise and crowds, yet it remains accessible. The private ferry service to and from the main parking area was prompt, well-managed, and added a touch of uniqueness to the experience—it made us feel like we were on a private island retreat. After long days of sightseeing and travel, the resort’s spa was a true sanctuary. I had one of the best foot massages I’ve ever experienced—deeply relaxing and much needed after a full day of walking. It was the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. Also they have a 4 pm chocolate hour which my kids loved! All in all, our stay here was more than just accommodation—it felt like a peaceful escape that left us refreshed, well cared for, and full of beautiful memories. We would absolutely love to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

IndiaHighly recommend this Elephantine Island hotel for its spectacular Nile views. Reserve a full day to enjoy the property and take evening walks around the island—you won't regret it. Staff service was excellent and rooms were modern. Note: The hotel has two buildings with different designs; request the newer section for more contemporary styling if preferred. Aswan offers a refreshing change of pace in Egypt, and this property perfectly captures its tranquil charm.
