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 reviewHost was kind to take us around the neighborhood.
1. Rooms with no hot water, leaking bathrooms and unusable toilet. 2. Terrible mattress and little/poor heating. 3. Expensive pyramid tour (70 USD per person + extra tips). 4. Expensive papyrus (1000 LE which can be purchase at least 10 times less in Cairo) 5. Poor English skill

Verified reviewVery 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
When 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.

Verified reviewReally friendly host family! Our flights in and out of Cairo were changed and we arrived and left in the middle of the night which was no problem - very accommodating. Free breakfast was a nice start to the day. Ideal location to visit the pyramids and a lovely view of them from the rooftop! We loved our stay here!
