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.).

TurkeyVery central and well-located hostel. The beds are clean and comfortable, and overall it’s very tidy. Hesen, who welcomed me, was very friendly and helpful; he answered all my questions and suggested places to visit. He is also interested in learning Turkish, so Turkish guests could teach him new words

GermanyThe location of the bathroom is a bit unlucky since one has to cross the whole reception area to get there. It was also incredibly humid in the bathroom.
The people working there (especially Hassan) where so nice and friendly. The room was very comfortable. Because of extreme heat in Aswan during our stay it was very calming to stay in room with very good WiFi.

ColombiaJust 1 bathroom for the dorms
The dorms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. Each bed had its own power socket, light, and regular sized locker for bags. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, big shoutout to Jimmy and Hassan for making my stay amazing by going with me to the market, showing me around, helping me with tours, and even getting me a last-minute bus ticket. They were easy to chat and hang out with. I had a great stay I’ll always remember. Thanks guys!

Sudan"It was on the fourth floor, and there was no elevator. The building is under construction, and one may be installed later."
"My stay at wannees yesterday was truly excellent, largely thanks to the wonderful staff. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, expertly handled by Hassan. He was efficient and made a great first impression. Throughout my stay, the hospitality provided by Shaimaa was outstanding. She was incredibly attentive and always made sure I had everything I needed, truly enhancing my comfort. And for any follow-ups or additional needs, Gamal was consistently helpful and proactive, ensuring everything was taken care of seamlessly. The combination of their dedicated service, along with the comfortable room and great amenities, made for a memorable visit.

The staff was very kind, they offered us a welcomed drink. One important thing for tourists is that it is close to McDonalds.

He helped us with transportation for Abu Simbel, let us keep our bags at the hostel after we checked out and even went out of his way to organise us a bus to Luxor. The location is right in the centre of town, 2 minutes walk from the river Nile. I would definitely stay here again.

TurkeyIt felt like crashing at a friend's place for a while. I stayed in the female's room: AC is functioning well. Beds are comfortable enough for the value. Bathroom is shared and clean. You have kitchen area and also laundry if you need. The stuff has been very helpful with any inquiries you may have. On top they were very friendly that made the stay more enjoyable. Especially thanks to Hassan who has a big heart to help people to ensure they are having their best time in Aswan.

I had an amazing experience in this hostel! I usually travel a lot and I've been staying in hotels lately, but I decided to give a hostel a try in Aswan and spent a wonderful time! I wish I would have stayed longer because the city is lovely! The recepcionist Jimmy was super nice and helpful. The place is super clean and has relaxing vibes and it is located in the 4th floor in a building inside the Old Market. I would definitely go back!

EgyptI had a fantastic stay at Wanees Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome – they’re friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything you need. The atmosphere is super chill and social, making it really easy to meet other travelers and feel at home. The hostel is kept very clean, and the rooms are comfortable with good air conditioning and cozy beds. The common areas are well-designed – perfect for relaxing or chatting with fellow guests. I also loved the rooftop and the cool vibes around the place! One of the highlights for me was the location – it’s close to everything you need, and the staff can help you book local tours and activities, which was super convenient. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, and affordable place to stay, I highly recommend Wanees Hostel. I’ll definitely come back again!

CroatiaThe sofas in the communal area were a bit worn and not very comfortable. It can also get a little noisy at times due to the hostel’s close proximity to the markets.
The receptionist was fantastic—you can tell he works hard to keep the hostel running smoothly. He even stayed in the same room as us and made checkout super easy, right from our beds. He kindly offered me coffee and even went to the local market to get a cheap Pepsi for me. I also shared a few suggestions with him on how to make the experience even better.

GreeceThere is not something I didn't like
I was traveling solo in Egypt and I decided to book a hostel rather than a hotel. Wanees Hostel was amazing, great facilities, the staff is very friendly and helpful when I needed them. They are also very responsive via Whatsapp in everything I was asking for anytime during the day - even late in the night to request for a wake up alarm. I totally recommend it and it's worth it even for small groups, solo travelers or even group trips. You are in the heart of the downtown city centre. Despite the fact that the entrance of the building in the first look may put you second thoughts just go uptairs and you will get used to it. Super friendly the guys there

BrazilI love this place
I had an amazing stay at Wanees Hostel! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming — more like staying with friends than just booking a place to sleep. The hostel is very clean, with well-maintained rooms and bathrooms. You can tell the staff really care about keeping the place comfortable and tidy. Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly kind and helpful — always smiling, offering great tips about the area, helping with tours, and even assisting with transportation. The location is perfect — close to everything, easy to find, and in a safe and quiet area. If there’s a rooftop or terrace, the view and vibe are just the cherry on top — the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. The price is very reasonable for what you get — great service, comfort, and a memorable stay. It’s definitely great value for money. I highly recommend Wanees Hostel to solo travelers, backpackers, and anyone looking to experience authentic hospitality in a cozy, friendly environment. I’d definitely stay here again!
