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.).

United KingdomNice place to stay in Abu Simbel, it is a beautiful colourful and well kept building with lovely gardens. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Good fixed price dinner, which was more expensive than elsewhere in Egypt, but seems more standard for Abu Simbel. Staff were friendly. Not far from the temples, which is handy if you're making multiple visits (eg returning to see the light show). The driver we had booked and brought with us from Aswan was made welcome here by the staff.

AustraliaThe wifi in the rooms was a little weak.
What a cute place to stay in. Everyone was very welcoming and wanted to talk and get to know you. The hotel was located around the corner from the strip. It was a great time and wish I had more time there to have enjoyed it.

NetherlandsLittle warm water for shower, I missed a coffee maker and better wifi.
All, everything is perfect, the hospitality, staff very very friendly, very close from the temples but if you don't want walk, the hotel has a tuk tuk. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. If you are looking a real Nubian experience, this is the place. We lost the 1st night and the owner offered stay one night more. The road to Abu Simbel is close for tourists at 5pm so if you arrive in Aswan late (between 4-5 pm)to be pickup by a taxi, is impossible you can go to Abu Simbel, is better you stay one night in Aswan and Next day Go. You can arrange everything with the hotel, taxi and stay one night in Aswan, also they have a new beautiful nubio hotel in Aswan. Thank you very much to owner and all team Kabara Nubian House.

United Arab EmiratesThe bed was quite hard, which might not suit everyone. A softer mattress could enhance comfort.
Stayed at Kabara Nubian House in Abu Simbel for a night and was charmed by the warmth and hospitality. It felt like a cozy, cultural immersion into their family and traditions. Each room tells a story, adding to the experience.

There is much to praise about the Kebara Nubia House. Rooms are well outfitted, great shower, air conditioning, and the facilities decorated in lovely pastel-colored murals. Meals were very good, cooked Egyptian style. Even better was the staff, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed two nights and took in the peaceful little town as well as the amazing Ramses II and Queen Nefertari temples. Wonderful experience in Nubia!

ChinaThe only negative was noisy children in the evening, running up and down the corridors. We would have preferred the food to be hotter.
Nice atmosphere and a short walk of 20 mins to the temples. The room was nice and the hard bars were great! I really mean it. Most beds are so soft that I wake up with backache.

DenmarkI found hair at my pillow. I didnt tell it to the reception, because it was late and I was tired. But all in all the bed linnen seemed clean. We would have liked if there had been a kettle in the room to make coffee and tea.
The staff, restaurant, view of sunset and sunrise from the terrasse. You get the real nubian feeling and it feels like home. The place is clean and the rooms and bath seem newly renovated and furnished.

United StatesKabara Nubian House was perfect for our one-might stay in Abu Simbel. It is close to the temples. It had a delicious dinner and provided a box breakfast so we could be at the temples for sunrise. The decor is beautiful. I'm very glad we took the time to spend the night so we could visit the temples both in the afternoon and in the morning. The staff was friendly and helpful.

It was great, could not fault it. Authentic Nubian house. Food very good, both for lunch and dinner - authentic and tasty. Close to a marina for a boat trip on Nasser lake. No need to spend silly money on a 5 star property.
