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 staff was great and always helpful. We mostly had to interact with Ziad, whose smile and attention were very appreciated. He offered early breakfast for the day we went to the pyramids and gave us a fan at night when the AC stopped working. We then could switch room. Breakfast is big and great. Location is perfect. Communication is easy. The rooms we not noisy at all. The price was very good for what we had. Wi-fi was also working very well. We would definitely recommend.
Everything is great. If we had to put something negative, we would say the beds are a little bit hard, but other than that, everything is fine.
Thank you for your amazing feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our location, breakfast, and service. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again🫰🫰

Verified reviewAbsolutely wonderful place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice twin room with ensuite and excellent Aircon. 2 communal areas with kitchens - free tea coffee and bottled water. The breakfast was also very good. Great location right in the middle of downtown.For the price I can't believe how they do it.
Honestly - for the price we paid I have nothing negative to say about this place.

Verified reviewThe people in the hostel was very polite and helpful and always with the smile.
The private bathroom in our room was not totally closed until the roof, so the noises and smells could affect other people's in the room.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful experience staying at this hostel in Cairo. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — they always greeted me with a smile and were happy to answer any questions I had about the city or travel tips. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fresh, tasty, and a perfect way to start the day before heading out to explore Cairo. The atmosphere at the hostel was also relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to meet other travelers. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Cairo. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and warm hospitality.
