How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the entire place was well-maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly (especially Ahmed Sherif) and always willing to help with anything we needed—they really made us feel at home. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Giza, especially families. Great value, great service, and an unforgettable view!
Its hard to get to the hotel but you just have to follow google maps & u can also contact the property for exact location.

Verified reviewWe loved staying here! Thank you to Aladdin (very kind, humble, welcoming man always happy to help) and his lovely welcoming staff for an amazing first holiday in Egypt. The balcony view of the Pyramids with a generous breakfast was a delight every morning. They served us everything we asked for, and throughout the week, we had endless offerings of drinks with no bill to pay as well as free shuttle to the airport and back. We loved our driver, Shariff and we chose to stick with him to take us around Egypt for most of the week. He was attentive with helping us take creative photos and videos which will be valued forever in our memories. He is also very patient waiting whilst you look around sites and tourist attractions. We enjoyed sooo many things, too much to mention here. We felt the price for one week was an absolute bargain for the experience we had.
We encourage the younger staff to learn more English, if we were to make a suggestion, but it's okay we recommend using Google translate, and not knowing was all part of the charm. Aladdin speaks fluent English, any issues, he's always on the end of the phone, if he's not there in person.

Verified reviewAmazing place, with great view of the pyramids, in a quiet and safe area. Manager Aladdin goes out of his way to make sure you feel happy, he offers a generous complimentary breakfast, free laundry service, at one stage he even organized the house delivery of a few bottles of beer for me. Wow! And finally he also organized a private early morning transfer to the airport.

Verified reviewGenerally it is very nice place. It is very clean, room was really big, beds comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, with excellent coffee. There is many local restaurants and shops around.
On last day our caretaker overslept and did not prepare breakfast on requested time before we left to the airport. We tried to pay in USD, but he had no change in USD, expecting us to have exact amount. We agreed to pay in Egyptian pounds, but were charged 50% extra than on Booking, only after bargaining we paid 20% extra. So we left hungry and annoyed.
