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 reviewWhat's not to like, the property is in good condition and set away from the main ferry port. It's very quiet and the owner offers a private shuttle using his own boat, excellent. You can Also take this to the nubian villages further south. The room was great and met our expectations and requirements, the food was good and fresh each and every morning. There is a small shop onsite for snacks and drinks and the prices are more than reasonable. The main plus is the owners, it's run by a family and they are warm and kindz couldn't ask for better hosts. Pro tip ask them for a trip on their sale boat.
Thank you very much

Verified reviewThe room was very clean and quiet, with strong air conditioning and fast WiFi — honestly faster than most of the expensive hotels we stayed at in Egypt. The bathroom was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water available at all times. Everything you’d want from a cozy and relaxing place to stay, you can find right here.

Verified reviewMustafa made our trip to Aswan. He is a great host and very hospitable, and we felt very loved during our stay. The family is wonderful, his brother Siko is also a great company, and his wife is a wonderful cook that prepared amazing fresh fish and breakfast every day. All our trips were organized with Mustafa on his various boats, and we were able to go places we didn't even imagine. The memories of the days in Elephantine will feed our wistfulness until we are able to return. The rooms were big, clean and super comfortable, very well equiped. The rooftop is the crown jewel, with the amazing views, privacy and good vibes in general, we loved spending some mornings and evenings there. With the help of Mustafa, we got to see wonderful hidden things in Aswan on the great boat rides he would take us; we visited the Nubian Village, walked around and met great people; we tried the amazing nubian coffee and got a sense of a slow paced life on the shores of the Nile. A very big and warm thank you to Mustafa and his family for making this trip to Aswan the highlight of our trip to Egypt. It will definitely stay with us for a long time and we will return to his lovely home as soon as we get a chance.
Everything was amazing!
Thank you very much. It was a pleasure meeting such friendly people as you. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Verified reviewThe location was quiet with a beautiful view of the Nile. Although it was hot there was a lovely breeze that made it more comfortable ...possibly due the open space and location of the hotel. Mustafa and Manaan are very friendly, hospitable and will go out of their way to help. The place was very clean. Mustafa has a boat and he can take you around the various islands and on excursions. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend their place.
Thank you very mach

Verified reviewEven though we arrived late at night, we were welcomed with open arms. Mustafa and his family are truly wonderful; kind, warm, and incredibly hospitable. From the very first moment, we felt at home, embraced by their generosity and kindness. Leaving was heartbreaking; we wished we could have stayed much longer. This place and these people will always have a special place in our hearts. We truly hope to return one day and experience their warmth all over again!
thank you very much

Verified reviewGreat value for price. Roof terrace is large with lots of seating and a gorgeous view over the Nile. Room was quiet and spacious. Shower was hot with good water pressure - hard to find! And Elephantine Island is a peaceful respite from the honking and activity in Aswan. Breakfast (additional charge) was plentiful and delicious. Mustafa can speak English well with a peaceful demeanor.
Guesthouse was difficult to find (not labeled on Google Maps correctly). There was miscommunication regarding the initial private boat ride to the guesthouse. It can be provided but for an additional charge.
Thank you very much. We make sure to communicate with our guests via Booking messages before their arrival and wait for them on the first day in a private ferry boat so that their arrival is easy. Later, we can use the public boat because it is a small Nubian village and all the streets are connected by each other.

Verified reviewWe would like to say that Mostafa and his wife offer not only accommodation which is very cosy, but also transfer to and from the house. The place is calm. With beautiful views. Also if you are interested in knowing what is around, Mostafa is the man to ask. We had amazing sightseeing trip by felucca around the River Nile providing us to the Nubian Village, which is on to see. Mostafa knows this are very well and took us to the unique little spot by river Nile to see and drink coffee made by native Nubian people.
Everything about the place was spot on.
Thank you very much, we are happy to have you with us
