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 reviewIt was a fine stay- for 250 euros for 11 people for 5 nights, you get what you pay for. Cleanliness is an issue. Staff is very friendly. Worrying that a review was posted on my behalf with a 10 star rating though.
Self-written review.

Verified reviewWe stayed at this place for a few days as a family, and it was a truly wonderful experience! The reception was excellent, and the staff were respectful and very helpful. A special thanks to Ola who organized all the tours for us and made everything easy. The room was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop view during breakfast was amazing—especially with the sight of the Pyramids. Breakfast was a bit simple, but it was sufficient and acceptable. Overall, the place is quiet, relaxing, and great for families. We enjoyed every moment there. Thanks to everyone for the hospitality

Verified review1. The pyramids of Giza are very close. 2. You see the reality of Egypt with your own eyes.
This accommodation should be avoided by all. The pictures posted by the hotel are misleading, and the 10-point ratings are faked by the hotel itself. I stayed there with my family and my friend and his children, by the time we got home, the 10-point fake review posted on my friend's behalf was already listed on Booking.com. Problems: The area is extremely run down. The camels and horses used in the pyramids are kept partly opposite the hotel, the smell of camels and camel dung is extremely strong, you feel like you are in a zoo. The windows should therefore not be opened. The rooms are extremely poorly equipped. The boiler in our room did not work, it was dripping, so when we arrived the bathroom had water on the floor. I reported the fault with the boiler to the staff, they did not fix it, we had no hot water for four days. No compensation was given. There was nothing in the bathroom: no toilet paper, no soap, no shampoo, nothing. I don't even think it was cleaned because the toilet seat was stained. If it had been cleaned, you would have seen water standing on the floor. There was no minibar, no kettle, no coffee machine, no reading lamp in the room. Apart from bed linen and towels there was really nothing. We asked when breakfast would be served, but they were 30-45 minutes late every time. Breakfast is prepared in a room with extremely poor hygiene. Breakfast - every day - was pita, a small can of strawberry jam, scrambled eggs, half a slice (!) of cold cuts and about 10-12 g of cheese. There was no drink, coffee or tea was only served if you asked for it. Salt had to be requested separately. The waiters did not speak a word of English. On the roof terrace the tables and chairs were dusty and dirty, many of the chairs were broken. No tablecloths were provided for the tables. The staff are only friendly until you indicate that the service is not of the right quality. I have never stayed in accommodation of such poor quality in my life.

We take all feedback seriously and apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered during your visit. Regarding the cleanliness and room maintenance, we regret any shortcomings and will review your comments with our team to ensure such issues are not repeated in the future.

IT IS A HORRIBLE HOTEL! THEY PROMISE EVERYTHING? THE DO NOTHING. Aircondition in the room was down. I noted at the reception, they promised, did 3 times...nothing, not even an excuse. Once engineer showed up at 11pm, nonsense. Other room had byler problem, no hot water for 4 nights. I asked the breakfast at time...one hour delay. No compensation...nothing. Be careful they rip you off. All the reviews are fake, even mine was up before I arrived home...just edited.

Verified reviewHad an amazing stay at Pyramids Express! It’s a small hotel but super cozy, clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the best parts was being so close to the pyramids – we went on some unforgettable trips to the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum. If you’re looking for a place with a great location and warm . vibes, this is definitely worth checking out
The only downside was the noise from the street during the day, as it could get a bit loud sometimes. But overall, it was a great experience and I’d still recommend it for anyone wanting to explore Cairo’s historical sites.

In addition, they arranged a visit to the palace and the temples, which was an unforgettable experience!
