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 reviewAway from all the noise of Cairo. Hotel is in a peaceful area. The view of the Pyramids from the rooftop are awesome.
The swimming pool is a bit on the small side. Food was great but there was no change. All four days breakfast was the same. There are no wifi in the room we were in however there was wifi in reception and on the rooftop.

Verified reviewPerfect stay at Cairo with a nice view of the Pyramids from the rooftop. Abdelkarim welcomed us early as our flight arrived before the check-in time, and we had a quick breakfast. The room was clean and big, with all the necessary things and good air conditioning. The staff are very friendly and responsive, all of them — from the receptionist, bellboy, waiter, to the chef. The chef prepared very delicious dishes at a reasonable price, with a variety of options. The location is near the Pyramids (a quick car ride) and perfect for people who want to avoid noise and traffic. It’s far from the center, but that’s exactly what we were looking for. There are grocery stores about a 5-minute walk away. The pool is open at all hours, which allows you to refresh yourself during the hot nights of Cairo. Will definitely stay here again if we come to Cairo. Can’t thank the staff enough. <3

Verified reviewThe pool was a big plus. Breakfasts were plentiful and enjoyable. Location was very quiet. Staff were helpful even though some could not speak much English.
Sometimes hard to communicate with reception staff as their English was very limited. No knowledge of a good close by restaurant to eat dinner at. Take care to find the curreny price quoted when using their driver. No cups in the room even though a kettle was provided. We should not have had to ask for them.

Verified reviewAmazing view from the rooftop, very good breakfast, clean room
Doors to our room could be barely opened, because the floor was uneven. We had a problem with heating because air conditioner was broken so it was very cold in our room. Location of the hotel is also not the best. No shops, cafes or restaurants are availae nearby, so you have to rely on the taxis. Internet didn’t work properly (it worked only first few hours, later not and it caused me problems).

Verified reviewFor a short stay this hotel offers excellent value for money. The only minus is the area. Here is absolutely nothing, so you are stuck in the hotel. No retsaurants, no shops etc. But surely we would stay here again if only for one or two nights. Heres i a wonderfull rooftop with the view to the pyramids, very clean, and very very nice brakfast. The hotel arrange excursions and airport transfers at very competitive rates with short notice. The staff is over the target, helpfull and extremely friendly. We booked a room with the balcony and we really had a wonderful time here. But more than two night (if not having the days full of sightseing) would be to much. We can only recommend this hotel..
The area - absolutely nothing to do.

Verified reviewMohommed Abkreem and the driver Sayed did an excellent job in keeping us comfortable and safe. The pyramid views from the top floor with the pool and restaurant was beautiful. I appreciated the honesty from the hotel staff. We had previously booked an hotel of the booking.com website and the photos from the website vs reality was totally different. We were shocked when we checked in .My wife and I didn't sleep at all and waited the next morning to leave.Mohommed from Sofia Pyramids arranged for us to Check in early at 10 am and arranged us a beautiful egyptian breakfast.He really went out of his way after our ordeal . Also the hotel is based in a queit road away from all the traffic noises of Giza.So we slept peacefully. Thank You Mohommed and Sayed 😁

The wifi does not work at all. Some rooms are connected too close that you can hear noise from the other rooms. And location is somewhat difficult to find for some taxi drivers.

As an experienced traveller, you know, small details can be like the salt in the soup: the property might have great potential, but: -cold (literally as the temperature and emotionally with the decoration) place: no a rug, nice lights (different lumens, cold white and warm white leds varies, making everything annoying + not enough hot water -dirty bathroom, corridor (they even washed their mop in the washbasin… this hygienisch questionable -poor reception: bad English and not helpful (they did not help to organise transfer, change money etc)

Verified reviewIt is well situated if your are going to see the pyramids, much better value than staying in down town Cairo. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We wanted to leave for the pyramids and an excursion before the restaurant opened for breakfast, but they made an effort to open the restaurant a bit early so we would get some breakfast. The breakfasts were delicious. Nice view of the pyramids day time and night time. If you are going to be going on excursions in anywhere nearby, it is much better value for money to stay here and than a hotel in Cairo with the same standard.
Swimming pool is very very small and in front of everyone's eyes on the roof terrace. Very uncomfortable for a woman to go in there.
