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.).

Egypt-Very poor cleanliness -The property is worn out and needs renovations -Bathroom sink and shower were clogged for all three days -Sofa was broken -Carpet was extremely dirty -Pool area was overcrowded possibly due to day-use visitors -Overall, it’s a nice and family-friendly place but I don’t recommend visiting during high season
-Booking.com's reservation includes a free teleferik trip -Despite the many negative reviews about the food which initially worried me it was good Food options are limited but breakfast and dinner were fresh -There are many activities available bike rides children's cars and animation shows -The location is excellent -The place is suitable for families

EgyptThe food had very low quality and limited variety for a 5 star hotel which was very disappointing. Service was also not that great (you have to ask several times for something to get a response and action) and rooms were not very clean (curtains had some stains, bedsheets smelled weird, and bathroom accessories looked old and rusty)
The facilities, walkways, landscaping, pools, and beach. It also had really nice seating areas with great views. Ms. Rania was very helpful throughout our stay

EgyptThe cleanliness of the rooms was disappointing. Even after housekeeping cleaned, the room didn’t feel truly clean, which affected the overall experience. Also, while the food offered a wide variety, the quality was not up to the standard expected from a 5-star resort.
I really enjoyed the location of the resort and the view from the room (Sea View Room). it’s beautiful and well-placed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the beach and sea were absolutely lovely.

EgyptFood diversity and taste was not as expected. No activities as the animation team is not performing at all. House keeping is average with some exceptions to certain people. Traffic signs to reach the location needs to be more clear. A/C needs more maintenance.
Beach is special with 2 adjacent types (sand + lagoon). 2 main pools to share the guests capacity. Rooms are well designed with large spaces. Special thanks to Mrs. Rania Ibrahim (Guest Relations Manager) for her smooth check in and support during the stay. Indoor Parking is very good. Free teleferique trip was amazing.
