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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

I loved everything about this property. A small and intimate and friendly property. Very attentive, friendly, and helpful staff. Great location to walk to many things, including a bustling downtown. But neighborhood is safe and with the windows closed very quiet.

IrelandEverything was great.
The room was spacious with lovely decor and had not one but two balconies where we could have breakfast. The location was perfect and once we mastered the layout of the streets, we could walk or take the metro to pretty much anywhere. As for the staff, they went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble for them and all the little extras such as arranging for an Egyptian breakfast, welcome drinks and arranging transport were very much appreciated. We would definitely go back..

United KingdomRoom was a bit dated and Egyptian beds are more solid than we were used to. However, it met our needs well and compared to a couple of stays in Egypt, this was by far the best experience.
Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Similar breakfast platter to others I’ve had in Egypt, but this came with more fresh fruit, fresh juice, it was lovely. Hotel staff were so accommodating and helpful. They gave us recommendations for the area, extra drinks and water when we asked, and assisted us with anything we asked about. Service was 10/10. This place is probably the best we could get in Cairo without booking a 5* hotel.

FranceThis is technically not a hotel but an apartment on the third floor of the building converted into a guest house. While this makes it a cosy place, you will hear everything from your co-guests or from the kitchen. More attention should be given to cleanliness and efforts should be made in the bathroom to get more water pressure. Slightly over-priced
The location is central and perfect to reach almost all must-visit sites by walking (souq khan al khalili, mosques, zamalek etc etc). The staff is very nice and helpful and will be very happy to give recommendations and assistance. While you won’t be given option for your breakfast food, it is of good quality, home-made and copious.

United KingdomIn a very congested area. No restaurant. Staff brought in whatever was requested for meals
Staff were exceptional and exemplary in their behaviour. Nothing was too much for them . All the rooms are on the 3 rd floor . Breakfast was provided in one’s room. No dedicated dining room or restaurant. Some of the rooms are quite small . The hotel was homely and the warmth of the staff was personal and was so impressive that nothing else mattered. Would go back any day purely for this .

SpainThere really wasn't anything we didn't like.
Would highly recommend this hotel in downtown Cairo. The staff are exceptional, they really go above and beyond for their guests and will offer assistance with anything you may need. Breakfast was very generous and throughout our stay we were offered unexpected juices and other goodies. You can ask for tea or coffee anytime of day and they will be flexible if you need a very early breakfast for example. The room was very comfortable and clean with nice finishing touches for the guests. It was such a welcoming experience and it's obvious that this hotel prices itself in customer service. Definitely recommended, would stay there again without hesitation.

SpainIt is not the fault of the hotel, but the noise from the road work right in front of the hotel was tremendous and we could not sleep on some nights (they worked from around 2am to 6am or so). Also, the building in front of the hotel was in construction so the street was full of rubble and dust.
Very convenient location to do things on foot, relatively close to historic areas and museums we wanted to visit, friendly and helpful staff, clean room. Free pick up and transport from airport when we arrived.

Everything was perfect, staff extremely helpful at all times of the day with currency exchange and directions and the breakfast excellent. The only negative point was that our room was situated on a noisy back street which although we enjoyed the views from the small balcony during the day, at night the noise proved too much for a good sleep.
