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.).

SwitzerlandPenguin Hotel in Dahab offers a serene escape just minutes from the city center and a stunning lagoon. They arranged for us the best taxi service from Sharm el Sheikh Airport. The breathtaking views, delectable breakfast, and exceptional service exceeded expectations. The staff, known for their kindness and friendliness, added a special touch to our stay. We can't wait to return to this oasis of tranquility. We did a little interview at the end of our stay that you can look on the website :)

Really loved the balcony, you could get some sun there, while being a little bit protected by the wind. The service was great, i got a voucher for the breakfast and they arranged a taxi driver for me to continue my travels immediately as requested. The room was clean and extras like coffee, tea & water were provided.

RussiaI think the bathrooms should be renovated, as well as the water pressure system. It would be nice to have soundproof windows too.
I came to Dahab for diving and I can say the Penguins diving center is 10/10. They have all the necessary equipment and friendly and professional guides. It was so comfortable just to walk downstairs and prepare for the dive in the morning. As for the hotel, my general impression is very positive too. The guys working here are very friendly and try their best to make you a perfect stay. Special thanks to Osama who helped me with everything. My room had an amazing sea view balcony, it was exactly as in the pictures.

United KingdomSo firstly, the hotel staff were just amazing. Osama and Belal always helped me with my 101 queries, always happy and smiling. Such an easy quick check-in process and also I wanted to extend my stay and they sorted this out in no time. Nothing was too much to ask for her. Always checking if I red anything and if I am okay. Anything I needed just drop a quick message to reception or pop downstairs. Easy Access to the strip. Everything is within walking distance. Food shops and restaurants right outside the hotel. Launderette right outside the hotel, shops to buy snacks. All open until very late. I felt very safe inside and outside the hotel. I had a beautiful sea facing room alwith a beautiful view! The room was SO spacious, I could have fit my friends and family in there! Bathroom is also very spacious. I will definitely be back, very soon!

United KingdomMe and my 2 sisters had the best stay here. it might be a 3 star hotel, but everything is 5 star about it! Sea view is amazing especially during sunrise. We have stayed at many hotels over the world and this has to be the best value for money, the owners treat you as people rather than numbers. 1000/10 service. would definitely come back and recommend to others
