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):
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.).

FranceNothing.
Our stay at Nile Bride was absolutely perfect. Mustapha and his nephew Hamada are truly exceptional hosts — warm, generous, and always ready to help. They prepared wonderful breakfasts every morning and even cooked delicious dinners for us in the evening. They also came to pick us up by boat when we arrived and offered to organize outings, like visiting the Nubian village, which was a great experience. The place is peaceful, beautifully located on the Nile, and ideal for relaxing. We felt at home and cared for the entire time. I recommend this place 100% — it’s one of the best experiences we had in Egypt.

Canada1. The pillows are tough, but that is a problem all over Egypt. 2. I wish we had gotten the second-floor room because I didn't like the first floor, as it is so close to the kitchen and living area. I think the second floor will have a better view and more privacy. Mostafa, you need to build a rack or a wooden clothes hanger. The room didn't have anything to hang your clothes and towels. A little lamp by the bedside will make the room even nicer. 3. The bathroom on the first floor is so small. There is a whole sink and space, but that doesn't get used at all. Maybe breaking the wall and making the whole side bathroom would be better. The extra space for that kitchen space is not being used.
Mostafa's place is very lovely and quiet. He arranged everything for us. He even picks you up from the ferry point to come to the apartment. His nephew is also a very sweet man. Oh my god, we loved our breakfast every morning. That omelet was one of the best I had in Egypt. This is proof that you don't need a lot of stuff as long as it is done properly. We organized everything with Mostafa, and even our trip to Luxor. What an incredible man! I would give a 10, but there needs to be a few improvements, which I will mention below.

NetherlandsNone that i can think of. Yoou need to walk 15 minutes from ferry to reach the place but that is the cost of being peaceful. Also they pick you up in your first day from ferry location in aswan
The place is so cute, well designed and has a great view. Staff is so good and they helped us to make tours to numibian village and arrange a feluca trip as well.

SwitzerlandWhere to start? We felt so at home here. Mustafa and his family have been nothing than warm, helpful and kind to us. We were genuinely sad to leave. The location on Elephantine island is great, ca. 7 minute walk by foot from the public ferry, the view on the river Nile with the passing boats and all the birds is so picturesque and an absolute dream. The room was spotlessly clean, the beds comfortable and the breakfast made with love and very tasty and suitable for vegetarians. We spoke a lot with Mustafa and he and his nephew Hamada helped us with organising trips (e.g. to Abu Simbel or a felucca ride - that we could not do in the end bc of too much wind, but Hamada was kind enough to take us around by motorboat). The people living on the island are friendly and welcoming and this has really been the best stay in Egypt so far. Highly recommend and thank you Mustafa and family!

FranceThe soft blue and white colours that greet you as you walk down the steps of the guest house to the open terrace are truly refreshing. Elephantine Island offers the perfect sanctuary after a long day of travel. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Mostafa, a thoughtful and attentive host. He made sure I was settled and comfortable. He even offered an early morning motorboat, breakfast, and transport for my trip to Abu Simbel. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and filled with natural light, offering a breathtaking view of the Nile with the desert stretching out in the distance. The tranquility of both the island and the guest house was so soothing that I decided to extend my stay for a few more nights, a request which Mostafa kindly accommodated. Thank you, Mostafa!

CroatiaHaving to leave.
It is impossible to explain fully just how perfect our stay here was. Nile Bride is beautifully located right at the river's edge. Hamada came to pick us up with a private boat and made sure we got safely to where we were going next. Mustafa, the owner, was exceptionally polite, kind and helpful. He organised all trips for us including a ride to Abu Simbel and escorted us to each journey. We ate an excellent breakfast every morning and home-made dinners at the property, prepared and served by Mustafa's sister-in-law. Everything was absolutely delicious. We truly felt at home. I asked to take the neighbour's dog for a walk and even that wish came true! Make sure you go for a boat ride in the sunset. The place is magical. Thank you, Mustafa. You and your family deserve every blessing and we can't wait until we all meet again.

ItalyThe location is simply wonderful. On the West side of Elephantine Island, overlooking the Nile at one of its most beautiful spots, this place is just perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy the calm and beauty of the river. A real haven of tranquillity! The owner is very welcoming and kind. So are his sister in law -who prepares delicious breakfast and lovely meals at lunch or dinner, if you choose to eat there- and his nephew who can take you on very nice boat rides to explore the Nile and its shores. It is also very easy to reach the center of Aswan from here, just a short and very pleasant walk to the ferry dock to get to the other side of the river. We initially had planned to stay only one night in Aswan, but as soon as we got there we were captured by the beauty and quietness of this place and decided to make our stay longer. Really hope to stay here again some day in the future!
