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 reviewDavid provided a breakfast each morning which was really nice to have. He knew we were leaving crazy early for Abu Simbel and he was up waiting for us with breakfast. That was above and beyond in my opinion.
The mattresses should be replaced.

Verified reviewDavid was accommodating. He let me stay from a solo room to a bigger room on the 2nd floor without additional charges. David also helped me to arrange my transport from Aswan Train Station to Abu Simbel then to Luxor the next day.
I understand that the price is really low for a night. However, everything was outdated - bed, door, shower, air con. It's hard to sleep because of the creepy cabinet in my room. The shower head is full of rust. The table David offered when eating was too dirty. Good for 1 night stay for me. I am so sorry, just being honest here. But I hope David and his family can renovate the entire place as it has good potential.

Verified reviewApparently Low price,but with extra fee hided in a very long message.
1. The owner is too “smart”(tricky) to spend the time on improving the level of facilities and services, which they should be supposed to. 2. Booking conformation printed very clearly:room with air/conditioning,but when you get there,they push you to pay extra and unreasonable air conditioning fee.

Verified reviewThis is a hostel run by David and his wife Mariana. They are a very helpful and accommodating couple. The best part is the tour packages organized by David. Very fairly priced and seamless experience. I did Luxor and Abu Simbal, I wish I knew he does the Cairo trips as well, would have saved me a lot of hassles in Cairo. Highly recommend all the packages. If you need a bed to crash after a day long Aswan exploring this place is perfect. Thank you David & Mariana

Verified reviewDavid was amazing and provided a full day tour for us to see places around Aswan. We could not have been happier with everything. The hostel is simple and nothing fancy, but it is really enough to stay in for a comfortable bed and helpful hosts.
