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.).

The service and entertainment have been improved compared to 6 yrs ago my first time stay. Food is good and they change a bit the menu everyday so you will not get bored. Extraordinary sea view and beach in the world, and diving point is approachable by walking or by shuttle bus. Staff are helpful and friendly.

CanadaI had a very nice room with side view of the ocean. The only thing was I didn't have an elevator and had to climb to the third floor. I was still recovering after surgery.
I like the courtuasy of the hotel staff. Very professional and knowledgeable. I loved the location and cleanliness. The grounds were amazing. The food very tasty. It's a big hotel but has this kind of boutique luxury and home comfort.

SwitzerlandThe à la carte food (e.g. for lunch) felt overpriced. I appreciate that might be part of the hotel's "business model" but expect prices that are going to be on par or higher than in most European countries. If you go in winter like we did, it's also worth understanding that Egyptian weather is typically sunny but there are strong winds. So you likely going to need a jumper or jacket in the mornings and late afternoon.
Staff was very friendly, especially with our small children. The kids club was great as they had different activities throughout the day. There is a great playground at the beach and it's generally a very children friendly hotel. The breakfast and dinner buffets were great too and I would recommend to go for the half-board option. The pools were simple but the one for kids was heated which was perfect as otherwise it's a bit too cold in January to go swimming. Soma bay is a peninsula purely for tourism with a nice promenade to walk between hotels and some shops. There is also a reef close-by but we didn't have a chance to go there.

United KingdomWe had paid for a room with a side sea view. But the sea could barely be seen and was shielded by a palm tree. It was a disappointment, and inappropriiately described. We arrived late so I could not mention this till later the next day. I was offered a room change- but would have been moved to the other side of the hotel away from our daughter. We had a very happy holiday, but I think you should know we were unhappy with the description of the room.
Snorkeling at the reef. However there could have been a better safety assessment of swimmers before setting off. Heated pool and spa - jacuzzi needed to be warmer. It was great having towels provided wherever we went. Recreation staff were very helpful. Good food - particularly the breakfasts. Excellent service. Across the site staff were friendly and anxious to please. The layout of the grounds was beautiful.
