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.).

VietnamIt isn’t really about the property itself but having shared bathroom was uncomfortable experience for me as I had to fully dress up to pass through common area. Because it was a cheap place landlord asked for extra 10% for usage of kitchen. I understand it is because it is cheap but not being able to get two cups of hot water free made me sad.
The room was so clean and bed was soft. As a cat lover it was great to have three of them around. My personal fav is Socar 🐈. We have been provided with clean towels and a fridge to store our things. Price is really cheap for Alexandria.

EgyptI stayed in a private room hosted by Dr. Dina, and it was truly a wonderful experience. She was extremely kind, respectful, and welcoming. The apartment was very clean and had a unique classic character — like a hidden gem from the golden age of art. The apartment itself was cozy, tastefully decorated, and full of soul and personality. I didn’t feel like just a guest, but rather as if I were living inside a refined vintage piece of art. I was very comfortable throughout my stay. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and elegant place to stay.

Egypt- The decor is simple and dated (as expected for an authentic local home), so don’t expect luxury. - The electric socket near the bed was loose and didn’t work well (could use fixing). - The doors are a bit loud when closing—just needs a little adjustment.
- Cozy, homely vibe – The apartment feels like a real middle-class Egyptian home, not a generic rental. It’s full of character and warmth. - Amazing sleep – The beds were *so* comfortable—I slept better here than in some hotels! - Friendly host – The owner was welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. - Great location – Quiet at night, but lively streets nearby with shops, cafes, and a huge **Zahran Supermarket** just steps away (super convenient!). - Good bathroom – Clean with reliable hot water and good pressure.

EgyptI had an excellent stay at Smoha Zahran Haus. What really stood out was how helpful and welcoming the owner was—always ready to assist with anything we needed. The overall experience was smooth and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. I’ll happily stay here again!

NetherlandsThere's no smart tv that i can add my netflix account.
The best feature i was amaze by was the toilet. I never experience such a soft toilet paper via booking.com before, You can feel the soft texture as you gently rub it on your skin, There was also a pipe with a flexible hose you can wash your self properly similar to the one i see at abu dhabi airport toilets. I was surprise because i never see this in europe.

United KingdomInviting homely place. You enter friendly owner's nicely furnished lounge to get to room and shared toilet/shower. Cat greeters! Smart. My room had been extended over a balcony. Initially booked as I thought near to Gobus stop according to Google Maps but it isn't anymore! It is a great location for lovely park and zoo though and up to half hour walk to blue tram service.
