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.).

United KingdomWhen I arrived i was greeted by a woman who didn’t speak any English and she got a young boy, no older than 12 to deal with me, he told there was a problem with my room, so I was put into a spare room on the top floor, outside the room was a building site with people in and out all day working. The room was disgusting, I was considering leaving but I was told my room would be ready the next day, it was not. I also didn’t have a private bathroom for those two days, I had to use a bathroom the builders were also using and it was filthy. I ended up staying in this room for two nights, luckily I had things planned so I only slept there. Breakfast was not nice, a small tray of different breads. There is no reception so you have to knock on doors that the hosts live in and hope that they are in. On two occasions, two very young children opened the door with no adult there and spoke no English, so I couldn’t speak to anyone about my issues. Also, the shower was not very efficient, only a small amount of water coming out of the head.
Very close to the Pyramids of Giza, great view of the pyramids, good wifi, pleasant room, satellite tv and comfy bed. If I didn’t have to stay in the horrible room on the top floor, I would have given this homestay a 8/10

The location, value for money. easy access to the pyramids and also can watch it from the terrace. plenty of shops around. KFC is at walkable distance which itself is the best part if you dont like bargaining for the price of food.

AustraliaAt this time of the year there is a big of a chill in the air and it would have been good if the air conditioning worked in the room. I never asked the host about it but I tried every possible combination to see if I could get it to work and I could not I have these in my own home. I slept OK only when the barking dogs outside went to sleep. There was too much noise for me in this location and I did not sleep at all well. The dogs, which there are many in the square are a pest. This is a working neighbourhood for the camels and horses and so you have to be careful where you step when you are out and about. The Homestay itself is OK, however because of the location I would have to find a quieter place to stay if I return to Cairo.
The location was great being so close to the Pyramids where from the rooftop you could watch the light show or just marvel at these ancient structures. I enjoyed sitting on the rooftop as it headed to sunset and watching the colours change on the Pyramids. Being in Giza also makes it better than being stuck in busy Cairo and it's only a thirty minute Uber ride to Tahrir Square if the traffic its kind. Plenty of places nearby to eat and good coffee and the Mango Cafe near the ticket office. Good hot shower in the morn after a simple breakfast of breads.

United KingdomI wouldn't expect it to be any better but in terms of the quality of the rooms this is a budget option. If you want luxury this isn't it, but it is a great price and we were very happy here.
Staff were helpful, location was great, very close to the secondary entrance to the periods (which is the best entrance to use), and there was a great view of the pyramids from the roof.

FranceInternet connection doesn't work very well. Breakfast could be more carefully prepared and the terrace has a lot of potencial but it's a bit abandoned. The neighborhood is too noisy all night long. Difficult to sleep.
Hady is a very kind and helpful host. The room is comfortable and has space enough to accommodate 1 or 2 people. Very close to the pyramids you get the place in 2 minutes. From the terrace you can also see them.

United KingdomIt is not that I don't like it if we take price into consideration but the room looked like it wasn't properly finished with painting, lighting and so on.
It was quite cheap comparing to other options. The owners were helpful but I had a feeling that whatever I asked can cost me extra money, but maybe it is a climate of Egyptian hotels that you are not sure when and for what you are charged extra.
