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.).

GermanyI really liked my accommodation. It was newly renovated and clean. You have a fridge in the room what facilitates for having cold water. The staff are amazingly kind and you feel kind of at home in their place. From there you reach easily el Tahrir whe you find nice cafés. They also have apartments closer to El-Tahrir, what are really in very good level.

GreeceThe bathroom and the room didn't have good soundproofing. Also, there was quite a bit of noise at night from construction work inside the building; however, once we informed the manager, the problem was immediately resolved.
The only hotel during our stay in Egypt that had women at the reception. The staff was very friendly and willing to help us with whatever we needed. The room was very clean and comfortable. They also provided breakfast on the balcony, which was very convenient. The location was quite good, close to everything.

SingaporeThe entrance of the hotel can be a bit confusing. It looked very run down and the lift was interesting. However, it looks like a proper check in counter when you reach the check in level. The staff brought us to the other level and it was a totally different look from the photo. (The level we initially tried to check in was the same as the photo) Moreover the floor had another sign board of the hostel name. Not sure if they put us in a cheaper room or not. Otherwise the room was specious and the balcony was simple but good enough.
Good location, close to town and lots of eating options. Easily can reach out many tourist attractions within short distance. There was a small cafe just outside of the hotel, their food was unexpectedly great. And they charged us the correct bill (unlikely like many other restaurants - e.g. adding 50% of service charges). Staff was friendly and helpful. Good breakfast was served.

Egypt1. The window inside my room doesn't shut all the way through. Had to deal with flies in the morning and mosquitos at night which disturbed my sleep 2. The refrigerator was leaking water from the freezer and I couldn't put any food inside due to how wet it was. 3. I requested an early check in and sent a message to the property to confirm. I did not receive any replies before my arrival. I recommend they improve their response rate to customers
1.Bathroom was quite nice, hot water available. 2.Beds were very comfortable. With suitable covers 3. The location is very convenient for traveling or business. 4. Supermarkets and restaurants are walking distance as well as the metro station

GermanyThe wifi is a bit slow from time to time.
The staff was very friendly, always available and looking to solve any eventual problem, not that there where any :) Cairo is a busy hub, so it is a bit noisy at night, but this is no matter where you stay I guess. Finally the Metro is in walking distance, some nice local places to smoke Shisha and have a tea are around the corner.

United KingdomThe only complaints about the room was the bathroom. The shower was great, but the bathroom has no door only a sort of plastic curtain so it’s not private at all. The sink also didn’t drain so it was full for the whole trip which was a pain. Also as usual with these sort of places the hostel is on the 4th floor of an abandoned unsafe building, it’s hard to find but a local will usually point you in the right direction.
The rooms were nice and big with decent comfy beds. Lots of plug sockets near the beds and LOADS, in fact probably too many, lights! Staff were nice enough but we didn’t interact with them at all after check in, we had to ask for towels and toilet paper as they weren’t in the room. The location is great, being in the centre of Downtown Cairo. The room was surprisingly quiet compared to another hostels we stayed in, which was a pleasant surprise. Very good value for money, most hostels In this area are an absolute dive but this was a very pleasant stay.
