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.).

EgyptI took a double bed room , there was no air-condition and it was very hot. Also the swimming pool and the toilet need more maintenance and cleanliness.
The place is in a quiet area , sound of birds all around in the morning, Kareem and his mother are really nice people.

NetherlandsThe bidet in the toilet is a bit weird. I would remove it for hygiene.
Its great to have a garden with trees to sit in the shades. Also to have the option to eat with the house is great. Spacious dorm and women dorm only option. The breakfast for me was good. Their neighbourhood is the best I ve seen in whole Egypt. Good coffeeplaces around the corner and a nice cheap tramride away from the corniche.

EgyptThe only thing is that there is no one for the night shift so they need to close the gates at 1 am. But I talked to them about that and they were very responsive.
The owners are really nice and they act as a family. The pool and rooms are very nice. The location is perfect only minutes for the bus station and minutes for the beach.. we didn't have to get any ride. The food is nice and it's home made.. I asked them to have fish for lunch for the next day and they have already done that in a very nice way. Every bed has a lamp on the top of it + an electrical outlet to recharge your mobile phone

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! It was nice and cozy, with cool vibes and beautiful trees all around creating a peaceful atmosphere. The manager, Kareem, was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming place to stay.

ArgentinaFacilities made me feel like in a hotel but with hostel ambient; Big swimming pool, huge terrace to sit and chat, calm and green neighbourhood (something very unsual in Egypt). Karim and his mother -the owners- help and inform you very well (he has perfect English) There`s like a garden for breakfast and lunch, you can rest there also, or ping pong; an "office" to sit and work; It is a 3 floors "fortress" that Karim furbished for him to enjoy and work at the same time, And you stay in the public spaces, all the time under the shadows of big tress. It s like a maison converted into a hostel. After the mess of Cairo, I wanted to stay there and never go out again! His mother prepares excelent seafood and Karim is the person to get informed about the Egyptian societies (he can even compare as he lived in Germany). regards

It was such a pleasant stay! One of a few places where you can really feel at home. Huda and her son were very caring. The bed and the bathroom was clean and the hangout place at the roof and at the entrance is a good place to relax.

EgyptThe mattress is not back-supported and unhealthy at all I had a hard time falling asleep and woke up regularly due to shoulder and back pain The breakfast portion can be slightly bigger as you finish breakfast and you feel you are still hungry
The warm welcome from the owner Mr. Karim and the two girls at the reception Mariam & Nadine All bathrooms have showers and hot water in them, they are big enough and spotless. The price is soooo low compared to the value.

Saudi ArabiaTHE CLEANLINESS LEVEL IS UNDER GROUND.. they didn't clean the room not even once in 5 days .. the room is very small to take 6 beds.. they don't change the bed sheets for the upper beds .. the room has bad smell .. the bathrooms wasn't constantly cleaned .. the hallway and the stairs carpets were very dirty not like the photos at all the reviews are overrated.. The hostel is managed by Kareem and his mother The mother talks very badly about the residents behind their back .. she is in charge for making hot drinks she uses tab dirty water to make it .. Kareem is self hated.. he is very racist against Egyptians .. well if he doesn't like Egyptians he could just prevent them from booking his hostel and put "for foreigners only" sign .. unfortunately we couldn't cancel our reservation because the cancellation fees was higher than the reservation fees itself .. The cameras are everywhere so no one can take photos and rate without them knowing .. I can go on and on about how bad this place is especially for the price .. it's very overrated and I don't recommend it for anyone
The only one thing that was good is that I met other nice residents in this hostel .. but the staff was very rude and greedy..

EgyptNeeds maintenance and workers to help Mrs. Huda and Mr. Kareem. It has so much potential but it is what it is for the value of the money I am paying I guess.
The old buildings and the retro aspect of it. It felt like an old beach town villa.
