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 reviewOur recent trip to Aswan was already exciting, but staying at Salatoo Guesthouse truly made it special. Originally, I wasn't sure whether to choose a five-star hotel or a Nile cruise, but as someone with Egyptian roots, I wanted my wife and kids to experience the authentic culture and meet the locals. That's exactly what we found at Salatoo. The location on the West Bank of the Nile is simply perfect - peaceful, scenic, and just a short crossing to the city center. The guesthouse is impeccably clean and situated just outside a charming local village, which was ideal for evening walks and immersing ourselves in everyday Nubian life. The highlight was definitely the warm hospitality and home-cooked Nubian cuisine prepared by the wonderful Madam Amira. Honestly, the food was some of the best we've ever had, rivaling the finest restaurants in Europe. The staff, including Belal, Sadat, Captain LoLo (the captain of the felucca), and Gilberto, made us feel like family — their friendliness and genuine care made our stay truly memorable. By the end of our four days, we felt like we had made lifelong friends. We left with a deep appreciation for Nubian culture and a desire to return next year — this time feeling more like coming home than just visiting. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, warm, and unforgettable Nubian experience. Thank you, Salatoo Guesthouse, for an incredible adventure!

The place is really beautiful and clean and everything is done for you to feel well and relaxed. We've been two weeks in Egypt and this one night/two days there were really the hilight of our holidays. Just get away from the stress and the noise and go there to have a good time :)

Verified reviewIf you are looking for a farm stay or eco friendly place or if you are an animal lover, then this is definitely your right place to go! Very helpful and friendly family and crew, hosts you in a river front farm, where you have couple of setting areas around fire or under mango trees, and even Infront of the river directly... Walking on the river bank between birds , cows and donkeys was a different experience. Hints: - you need to cross to the west side of the river with a local ferry service, cheap but "very local", then you need to take a toktok from the ferry dock to the facility (No taxi or Uber at this area. But! You still can arrange your direct privet transportation by boat from the city to the facility by contacting them ahead. - There are not many options for restaurants at this area, but you still can book your local dishes at the facility or take your meal at the city. Thanks Belal for the coordinations, Amira for the great food (specially the Taamia), Mango and keshra for being friendly and playful dogs 😀
The mosquito net of the bungalow may need to be better fixed. Don't expect luxurious beds or facilities, just the pair basic stuff that you need to have a good shower and sleep.

Verified reviewAbove all, it was Salatoo and his crew who made our stay unforgettable. You feel like part of a family, we ate together and went on excursions :) But you can also retreat and relax in the garden or by the Nile. The food was incredibly delicious, you can sleep in cozy and clean huts, tents or bungalows. The crossing to the city or wherever you wanted to go by boat was easy and cheap. Really highly recommended!

Verified reviewIf you need a place to calm down and relax, this is the place to go. At Salatoo's you will find friendliness, hospitality and a kind of calm you will not find in the cities. Everyone is so generous and friendly, always happy to help! The camp itself is super rural and open (literally), which gives it its unique charm and Salatoo's beautiful garden is really impressive to see. Our room was very clean and modern, with a nicely working AC and a private bathroom. We had everything we needed and then a bit more :). (Also: their self-made tea tastes so good)
That we didn't stay longer :( Really, we had a great time

Verified reviewI had an amazing time. They have the friendliest staff that make you feel like instant family. The food was incredible and they will literally help you plan whatever you want to do. They genuinely want everyone to have a great time. A cross between a camp and a farm with the Nile as your backdrop, this is how to really feel like a local in Aswan. I go back whenever I can.
