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 reviewLocation to the pyramids, the rooms were spacious and comfortable the bathroom was excellent, the beautiful terrace for just looking in marvel at the Pyramids, I can’t fault the property
It’s not the property, the property was safe clean and comfortable, the surrounding area is just horrible, between the touts and the general chaos of Egypt everyone around the area is looking to take from you, kids begging then getting annoyed when you don’t give them 5 pounds to the touts who want 10 dollars for shaking your hand. Take advantage of the restaurant and terrace because besides the actual Pyramids that whole area is a cesspit.
Thank you so much for beautiful review, Best regards Sherif

Verified reviewMy wife is celiac and we were able to cook her food in the hotel kitchen. They enabled a new kitchen to be able to give us the service. They adapted the breakfasts to be gluten free. They were understanding of the celiac condition. The owner is very pleasant and helpful with our needs.

Verified reviewFirst time in Egypt and was greeted with great hospitality from our hosts Sherif and his family. Genuine people who were really helpful with everything. If you needed anything like a driver for a day that would be arranged for a fair price. Also a really nice view of the pyramids and sphinx. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the hotel back home!
Thank you so much!! Best regards Sherif

Verified reviewWe had the best time at the hotel!!! Sheriff and his family took good care of us. We felt quite safe and secure. He offers nice and affordable tours which made it very easy for us as a family as we always had someone with us who could guide us and communicate with others in their home language. The hotel is clean and affordable We was able to enjoy the beautiful pyramids as well as Cairo. The view from the hotel is very beautiful and the entrance to the pyramids is only a few meters away. In the same building they have a fantastic perfume shop with lovely scents and they also have beautiful paintings for sale on the first floor. We are super happy with our stay and highly recommend it!
We were happy with everything!
Thank you so much for everything as well, best regards Sherif

Verified reviewI enjoyed a nice stay here for two nights. The owner Sherif and his family were super welcoming and went above and beyond for guests. He helped arrange reliable tours with huge flexibility. I really appreciate their hospitality and efforts to make my stay in Cairo relaxed and comfortable as a solo female. The location is perfect for pyramid visits as it is close to the entrance with several restaurants around. The view on the terrace overlooking Sphinx and pyramids is amazing. I would highly recommend it to travellers for the pyramids!
Thank you so much for the beautiful review and hopefully to see you again, Best regards Sherif

Verified reviewEverything was very nice. Sherif, the owner, worried about us from the very first minute. He made sure we were okay at any time, and he even invited us to have dinner. The place was very good overall, good rooms and very hygienic. The views were astonishing from the hotel roof. Definitely recommended.
Maybe the pillows, it would be nice to have a normal pillow instead of a big one, but it was nice.
Thank you so much for everything and hopefully to see you again, Best regards Sherif

Verified reviewThe hotel is just right in front the pyramid area, the view is fantastic.
[ Don't Book Tour With Host ] [ Same money, you deserve a better one ] Here is not a hotel. It is more like Airbnb. If we are talking about the room, it is ok. However, if for the total experience, not very well. I booked the tour with the host, $220 USD, got very poor quality tour, especially the first day. We visited the pyramid and did the camel ride and some spot. 1. Camel ride : He will try to make you happy but not really and then bring you to the side before finish and asking money. Feel rude and not safe which force you to give him money, cause you were on his camel. 2. Spot sightseeing : It should have tour guide always with me and explain the history. Different spot has different tour guide and the tour guide isn't well organized. I booked the tour month ago and the tour guide seems just be noticed a day before and didn't know where should he take me to...... One tour guide even said the day is too hot, let me view museum by myself. What is that? 3. During the tour, they always try to miss leading you and always said your choice. I paid for the tour, the tour should has the thing you promised. Tour guide be my side is the deal, not like making decision in last minute and try to minimize the tour time. 4. When the tour finished, no matter how tired you are, he will bring you to "his shop" for shopping papyrus. Really annoying even you refused to go.
Sorry about that but I promise next time I will do my best! Best wishes

Verified reviewSuperb view of the pyramids. Quiet and relaxing. Amazing host!!!! Very kind staff, all very helpful even after our trip ended. Careful and considerate. Great breakfast, and all help is quick and in detail.
This is not exactly about the property itself, but the only disadvantage was the fact that camels and horses were parked on the street in front leaving a heavy smell around. Again, not negative about the property, but it impacts.

Verified reviewIt's good value for money and the location is terrific with a view of the pyramids from the rooftop. Sharif spoke good English and helped arrange a taxi to pick me up at the airport to drive me to the accommodation which made arrival easier. I'm sure he would have been very helpful had I needed tours or other assistance, but I was only staying for a short time while en route to the black and white deserts.
Like a lot of places in Giza, this place is exceedingly scruffy. The street outside the accommodation is used by horses and camels so expect to have to dodge lots of poo and smells. The stairwell to the rooms is filthy and with broken tiles. The bathroom is badly designed so the water from the shower drains towards the toilet and the floor never dries out.
