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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

EgyptLike almost all properties I’ve stayed in, it is in the process of being expanded and some construction materials are placed along the pathway to the guesthouse. But this absolutely does not affect my stay (neither noise, dust nor security).
The location is superb, facing the Nile River, just a 3 minutes walk from the jetty on Elephantine Island. The room is comfortable and comes with a shared pantry complete with fridge, kettle, cups, etc. What I like best is that my privacy is respected and there is no hard-sell of tours. Food is readily available with 3 restaurants nearby on the island.

New ZealandEverything! The location was perfect so close to restaurants, shops and ferry. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The hosts were so relaxed and kind. They helped us whenever we needed them, even helping us cross the river at 3am and woke up to ensure we had made it. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Aswan!

AustraliaThe beds where a little bit firm , but this is a personal preference to what you find comfortable :)
The property is right on the Nile, a very close walk from the ferry port to Elephantine island. It is a new guest house that looks like it is still being built. The rooms are comfortable & have air conditioning which is great. The owners are lovely & extremely helpful !

This is the perfect spot to stay. The place was very clean and tidy. The kitchen has coffee for you. Clean bathroom and good shower. The room was big and it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Rabab took care of my mom and me as we were a family. She helped us wake up and even made us breakfast at 3 am. in the morning!. She is very kind and caring. This is the kind of place for anyone who wants to relax and feel safe and comfortable.

NetherlandsThis is no criticism, but points to improve upon: there is a cover on the mattress, and a blanket on top, but no sheet in between. So you are sleeping directly under the blanket. From a hygienic perspective, I would prefer a sheet as well. Also, I killed 15 or so what looked to be greenish mosquitos in the room. I didn't get them all, there were some too high up, but still I didn't get bitten. However, it would be nice if they hadn't be there in the first place. Maybe a mosquito killing lamp would help?
The hosts, husband and wife, were super nice. They picked me up from the (very nearby) ferry landing and brought me to my room, with a terrace right on the water front. You have to see through some construction work and related objects, but price/quality wise it's very good! As a bonus, there's also coffee and thee in the room. It was also reasonably quiet: no barking dogs or something while I was there. The mosque is next door though - even though it was only marginally louder then any other place in Aswan, since the mosques are loud and plentiful everywhere. I left early, but they packed me a breakfast for in the car: a very nice goodbye!

AustraliaWhen the lights are left on in the kitchen / reception area at night, they shine straight into the room through the glass above the door. It’s not a big deal but if you need a dark room to sleep at night bring an eye mask.
Fantastic breakfast. The lady (wife of the owner) is really nice and helpful. Very clean place. Wonderful view of the Nile. Close to the ferry.

United StatesThe outsides could be a little better. It had a lot of mosquitoes (or maybe they may be mosquito like bugs) but they had us s**t scared. Fortunately, we didn’t get bit due to the anti bug spray and outlet.
We got two rooms and had pretty much the attached kitchen and lounge space for us as well. Place was clean and felt new. It is also right next to the Public dock and a decent restaurant. Just was nice and even provided us with a basic breakfast Togo since we were leaving early in the morning.
