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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwitzerlandOne of the staff members was romantically interested in me, which was very awkward because I have a fiance. He and the man next door both expressed their interest in me and did not stop asking even when I expressed I am not interested. However both men are very lovely people and so is the rest of the staff. I wish them all the best.
The room was very clean and the staff were helpful. I loved the location, which is very close to the ferry.

SpainRather poor breakfast (probably because included in the room price), no advertised safebox (an apparent error in the description). The management could be nicer to the complaining guests. :)
Very charming place on the more interesting side of Nile, with internal patio and well-equipped rooms. Not boutique, not luxury, but spacious and cosy. Very helpful and nice staff too. A great place to stay with a convenient access to Luxor's main attractions - the tombs.

United StatesThe rooms are underwhelming, with almost no amenities (e.g., no shower curtain, one towel per person, no shampoo, etc.). The breakfast is basic (1-egg "omelette" anyone?), and you have to pay extra for additional coffee or even butter (while not being warned that it costs extra until the checkout).
A nice courtyard, good WiFi, friendly and helpful staff, close proximity to the ferry and West Bank restaurants, heaters are available upon request though not allowed to leave them on overnight.

United KingdomI got a taxi from Luxor airport. and there is just one bridge cross over river Nile. It spend more time and cost, to get to the hotel. the facilities could be modernised, especially shower booth needed. breakfast must be better, personally I don’t like spicy broad bean in the morning. improve quality of coffee.
it’s located at West Bank, where tombs valleys are. so it’s very handy to go there by bicycle, taxi and motorbike taxi. the hotel is in very atmospheric sentimental vib, enable us to experience of the adorable aspect of real life of Luxor. and also It has a impressive and well maintained front and rare garden, where you can feel comfort and rest well after long day of touring. Nile ferry station is just 7mins away, and it runs every 20mins, to get east bank downtown. particularly I would like to say thank Baha who cooked rice porridge when I had a big tummy problem. I will remember his warm hospitality.

BelgiumThe hotel was recommended to us by friends. Especially the terrace outside is lush and nice, the rooms spacious and charming. We also liked the location, a quiet local neighbourhood with a very nice and clean juicery and bike rental shop (50 egp per bike) around the corner. Further away towards the historical sites we enjoyed shopping at fair trade shop 'habiba handweaving' and 'caravanserai' - perfect spots for shopping without hustling. In the area we had the best meal at Marsam Hotel & restaurant, if we hadn't booked at Amon, we definitely would recommend this place for sleeping as well.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like (apart from an exchange rate hike - which made the trip much more expensive than we had planned for). The little sachets of shampoo provided had permanent black dye in them. I imagine it's a shampoo widely used in Egypt - but I only realised after using it twice, and others mentioning it, that my light hair had darkened significantly. Not a problem for me, but it could be for others.
We loved the location - on the quieter West Bank of the Nile, in a village where everyone knew each other and was so friendly. As we were there for two weeks, we actually felt welcomed into the community. People knew who we were and said hi - just from friendliness. There wasn't the stress of the highly touristic East side where the posh hotels are. We felt we'd made a great choice for our budget. The hotel itself was lovely. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast & the lovely evening meals we took in the gorgeous garden were great. They were made memorable by the kindness and friendliness from the staff. Staff were happy whether we ate at the hotel or chose to go out - we just let them know our plans in the morning. There are lots of good local restaurants - but we especially enjoyed 'Africa' and two right on the river 'The Lighthouse' and 'The Nile Rose'. We also loved a very nice cafe called Moon Cafe which had just opened. Good WiFi, lovely music, perfect cappucinos and amazing biscuits. We also ate there some evenings, and although the menu looks simple, the dishes were divine. Back at the hotel, hot water and WiFi were great 95% of the time. There was a fridge in the room and the staff gave us the use of a kettle - which we hugely appreciated. The pool was a boon for cooling off at the end of a hot day, and pool towels were provided. Mohamed, the proprietor, helped us plan our trips and sourced the most wonderful guide for us. As a group we were really interested in the historical and cultural details. Our guide, Mahmoud, had a PhD in the Coffin Texts. He was well connected and extremely well informed. We know from eavesdropping on other tours by less qualified guides that we had very high quality input. Mahmoud was very encouraging to one of the teenagers in our party with a passionate interest in history.

GermanyThe place is close to a mosque which will wake you up at 5 a.m. Also the facility was most basic. My room did not have and hooks to hang anything, the wifi did not connect and after having asked repeatedly if they might know why it wasn't their concern anymore after I left it. The breakfast is bad. It's no real coffee, one orange, some break and butter and 1 egg. For the price relatively speaking it is far below my expectation. Unfortunately, the newly built building seemed still half in construction as the floor of my room was still all dusty too. The first night I did not even have soap and they forgot towels too. Neither the service nor the facility were good for the price.
The common area is nice. An evening fire place and a cozy inner garden makes it homey.

Saudi ArabiaFrom the photos, I thought the place might be more stylish, but it is very outdated. The staff was quite unfriendly and did not accept our request to cancel the reservation. The shower in the bathroom was broken and the water leaked out into the room. Thankfully someone came to fix it.
The breakfast was basic. More Western than Egyptian. Beautiful garden to relax in. The neighborhood is traditional and very photographic. I enjoyed the ferry ride across the Nile to the accommodation.

Mustafa and his staff were very friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and refreshing after a few long days of travel. The hotel was far enough away from busy roads that it was very peaceful and quiet - we only heard the sounds of animals which was nice and it's only a short walk from the Nile River. Luxor is an hour flight from Cairo and a good central location between Aswan and Abydos. We'll be staying at the Amon Hotel when we return!
