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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United StatesThe towels were not dry all the way by the time we needed them, and the mattress was hard.
The staff were very helpful. We dropped our keys early because we thought we were going to be able to Uber to Cairo that evening, but that didn't work out. The staff allowed us to get the keys back so we could spend the night there and helped us book a ride to the Cairo airport very early the next morning.

United KingdomI wasn't aware that the electricity to the building is switched off for an hour every day between 6pm and 7pm. I came back to the apartment and had to climb to the 9th floor by torchlight. If I had known, I would have stayed out for longer, or come back earlier!
The apartment was comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. The iron and ironing board were a nice touch. The view was amazing. I would stay here again if I come back to Alexandria.

ItalyThe apartment is big and nice. It has a nice view and the building is equipped with elevator. The communication (in English) with the host was always smooth and they were very helpful with tips on what to do and always ready to help. The apartment is ubicated in a residential area, just a stroll (maybe 10 minutes walking) to get to the city center. The only thing ist hat the apartment is not equipped with a hair dryer so my suggestion for next visitors is to bring your own.

Egypt- Seems that air conditions regular summer maintenance did not happened before our stay as we faced water leaking from living area and the second bedroom air conditions which required a phone call with owner agent and he repair it after one night from our stay while we were out of the property. - Elevator plastic chip did not work most of times (it worked only 3 times during our one week stay) so, one of us used to get on stairs, then when he reach the 9 floor or the ground floor he calls the others on mobile phone asking them to get in the elevator then he calls the elevator from elevator panel to get the others down or up. - Mid of the week they informed us that elevator will be off from 5 pm to 7 pm on daily bases. - There is a need to place curtain on living area window need for privacy and to eliminate sun reflection on TV screen during midday time. - Bad smell is coming out of kitchen pluming, i checked it and it seems that the plumer who set sink plume connections did know the importance of doing swivel-p trap in pluming connection tube to prevent bad smell from going back from building main pluming tube inside the property. - The second bedroom does not contain wardrobe. - Ironing table is not usable.
- Great location in the center of old Alexandria districts. - Nice Decor. - Good types of appliance "Big TV led screen with free satellite channels, automatic clothes washer, small fridge, small microwave, gas surface cooker, gas water heater for bathroom and kitchen". - Good electricity setup "main electricity board include over and low voltage protection unit with auto recovery". - Good Internet WIFI connection. - Good beds which provide a good sleep quality.

CanadaThe kitchen was not well supplied to actually cook but the microwave was useful for heating up restaurant takeaways. The couches were only 15 cm off the ground, so not comfortable for those unused to them. BUT walking to and from the apartment was awful. Near the front door the garbage littered street extended along a path to some steep stairs, also littered with garbage. There was a large garbage (tip), cement walls open on one side, where raw garbage was thrown. Many cats and dogs rummaged for edibles and many rats could not have been far away. Egypt has a huge garbage problem but this example sickened us.
The location was terrific as to things in Alexandria but horrible in it immediate location (below). The furnishings were attractive and the view very good. We were reasonably happy with everything and Nada's attentions and suggestions

EgyptThe only problems with the place were the water pressure in the shower and the neighbors. The water pressure in the shower was weak and that was a little inconvenient. However, there was constant hot water running. As for the neighbors, I know it is out of the management's control but they were very loud and at one instant played very loud music at night while cleaning their apartment and the common corridor.
We loved that the place was located close to a popular street and there were plenty of food options close by as well as many sightseeing spots and tourist places. It was a nice and calm area. It was very easy to order an Uber and go just about anywhere. There were also a ton of kiosks closeby which we used to get a quick snack and drinking water. There was also a Costa Coffeeshop about 700 meters away from the apartment which was great.

United Arab EmiratesThis was a heart-opening apartment. It was just perfect. Pictures were as of actual, and what was more special were the bedrooms. We just loved the apartment. We wished to stay more than just a night in this beautiful apartment. Building is surrounded by different shops. We just walked to Carrefour, which is around 10 minutes walk. The view from the apartment was amazing; it is overlooking the city.

FranceIf you want to be close to the coastline, citadel etc you might wanna choose somewhere closer. Also the price for the night isn't cheap.

United StatesThis is not in the hosts control, but it should be noted that the street the apartment is on is full of trash and smells bad. There is also a lot of construction happening on it, and we were awoken at about 3:00 am one night to the sound of drills. Unfortunately, as two women traveling without a man, we also felt uncomfortable with the man who handled our check in and check out process. We exchanged WhatsApp information in order to coordinate our arrival and departure (as per the policy of the property). My friend then got several messages a day from the employee, averaging about one every four hours. These were not related to the apartment- he asked her about our plans and joked that he would go out with us one night. This excessively familiar communication from a man who we knew to have a key to our apartment felt eerie. I would caution the hosts to have a conversation with their staff about proper etiquette when communicating with female travelers. Even if he did not mean any harm, it should be noted that this sort of messaging can make women feel unsafe- especially in a city where we didn't know anyone.
The apartment looks exactly like the pictures on booking.com. The owners made a lot of clever choices for decor, and everything looks brand new. All three AC units work great! The view is spectacular. The building the flat is in is well maintained, and the elevator works well. The flat was also walking distance from several sights we wanted to see.

Saudi ArabiaThere was a lovely new washing machine but no real way to hang out any washing that we could see. Perhaps this could be explained somewhere or a clothing stand supplied.
The communication prior to staying was excellent. Two gentlemen met us at the pinned location and helped us with our suitcases to walk up some stairs and enter the smaller streets where the hotel was situated. They were friendly and helpful and gave us all the necessary information for staying there. We loved the decor on the lounge with the walls covered in fabric and the lovely detailing behind the bed in the main bedroom. The bunks were really sturdy for the children. Some information about the sights in the local area were supplied. We requested a half an hour change in check out time at the end and the property was really accommodating.
