How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location is in a perfect place if you want to stay away from the village, in a serene peaceful environment by the foot of the mountain. It's a little green mini oasis by itself. You can go for a walk, take a hike, and enjoy perfect sunsets. The host Hatem was very generous. Good and quick communication. His family was visiting the property at that time, so we could have absolutely delicious traditional meals prepared by his wife. The best food I tasted in Egypt. It felt more like a homestay. His boys Omar and the kid were delightful too. I will stay again if I come back. Our room had AC and fan. We took meals from them as there's no restaurant around. Best decision.
There's nothing I did not like. People might complain about the location but hey, if you want to stay in a busy village, this isn’t for you.

Verified reviewVery quiet location. Mr Ibrahim was the general maintenance man and cook. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. Dinner was excellent value. Mr Hattim, the owner, is also the town mayor (which proved very useful) and he was very kind and helpful.
Thanks for you too much 🙏

Verified reviewAmazing Desert Spot – Highly Recommend! This place is such a hidden gem in the middle of the desert! The location is just incredible, with stunning views and a super peaceful vibe. If you’re looking to relax and get away from everything, this is the perfect spot. The people here are so friendly and make you feel right at home. You HAVE to try the hot springs—especially in winter. The water is so warm and relaxing, it’s an absolute must-do. The cleanliness isn’t perfect, but honestly, it’s totally fine considering you’re in the middle of the desert. And the food… wow. One of the best dinners I had in Egypt, hands down. The flavors were amazing! Oh, and don’t worry if the police escort you in the area or you see a lot of checkpoints. The police are super nice, and it’s all just for safety—nothing to stress about. Honestly, this place is a must-visit. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and unique desert experience. You won’t regret it!

Verified reviewIt’s a must stay property and worth going out your way to, fabulous walks around the property and it’s a must to visit the old Qsar town nearby (car ride), please do not miss. The property has its own amazing hot spring, where I drank a beer I had brought with me, relaxed until midnight. The dinner I received was also very delicious and the best cooked chicken I had in Egypt. Mr Hatten the owner is very friendly and makes you very welcome. DON’T MISS STAYING AT THIS PROPERTY IF YOUR TRAVELLING AROUND THE WESTERN DESERT. The owner also offers a free ride to the local town, so no issue to get there, even though I paid for a taxi that was very cheap.
Everything was fabulous
You are welcome

Verified reviewThe Location is amazing, Beir El Gabal is in the middle of the desert and the nature view is outstanding! The Beir (Hot Springs) is incredible, around 35 degrees warm water and you can even use the Beir in the night, which is beautiful under the stars. I really enjoyed the food, also good vegetarian options. The owner and the staff is very helpful and supportive.
The lights and walls have a very cold temperature, which is typical for those countries, but I'd prefer warmer lights. It could be a bit more cosy, sometimes the place seems a bit practical – but for the price totally ok! Some things costs extra (like Beir in the night, because it runs on government electricity and not solar), might be a bit surprising sometimes, but also usual in egypt.
