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.).

CanadaOur stay at Tawila Island was nothing short of amazing. We stayed in the water bungalow, and it was absolutely perfect. The breathtaking views, pristine beach, and serene surroundings made it an unforgettable experience. The service, however, was what truly set it apart. Hend & Mohammed went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless—from arranging transportation to checking in with us before we even arrived. Her attention to detail and care made us feel incredibly valued. At the restaurant, Mostafa and Mohamed provided exceptional service, welcoming us by name and making the experience feel so personal. Roselyn also did a lovely job taking care of us at the restaurant. All the staff were amazing, polite with an outstanding service. The hospitality was truly unmatched. Yasmin and Ali did a fantastic job with housekeeping, keeping our room immaculate and even surprising us with a lovely bed setup. My husband and I had a fantastic stay, and we will definitely return. Tawila Island is a paradise that offers not only beauty but top-notch service. Highly recommend!

United StatesWhile the property itself is stunning, we were quite disappointed with the value for money, especially given the price of around $980 per night for full board. It was surprising and frustrating to find that items like the seafood display, ice cream, and mini bar were not included, and instead came with outrageous additional charges. This experience made it clear that the management lacks the experience you'd expect in high-end hospitality. I hope to see the hotel eventually sold to private sector operators, as seen in New Alamin and the New Capital, to bring it up to the standards expected in such a beautiful location.
Tawila Island is an absolute paradise! The property is beautifully built with great attention to detail, and it's equipped with top-notch furniture and modern electrical appliances, providing all the comfort you could ask for. The views of the sea are nothing short of breathtaking, and the serene surroundings make it a perfect escape. Whether you're relaxing on the deck or exploring the island, the scenery is always stunning. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway! The staff was very friendly especially our waitress Asmmaa

Everything 💯💯💯✌️♥️ Staff were great, manager & Everyone was so kind and professional. We were a family of 5 [with three very active 10 year olds] but that was never a problem - they werw all catered for. Staff was genuinely patient & kind. We were given a complimentary late check out and a late transfer as there was a beach party we wished to attend, which was Amazing. Thank you so much, we are definitely coming back. I have been "Harrasing" Tawila about staying here & Spa since late 2022... I finally got to experience 🙌 this Amazing Resort! Bestt birthday trip ever! We would stay more days next time. Thank you again Tawila Island 🏝, you are a rare gem 💎 ✨️ ❤️

EgyptThe pool bar wasn't operational. Food quality can be better, however I loved most of the Items Minor issue with the AC control being stuck at a very cold temperature, but it was quickly resolved by maintenance. I wish they have told me about the Shisha - didn't find it in the menu
🛑 Stop! This is the only review you need to read before booking at Tawila Resort. From the moment we arrived, our stay at Tawila Island Resort was exceptional. The resort arranged a yacht from El Gouna, and Philopateer from reception made the check-in process seamless, welcoming us with wet towels and a refreshing drink. 🏨 Room Experience: We stayed in the beach bungalows with direct access to a private beach. The room was super clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a sound system and both indoor and outdoor showers. The outside seating area had a magical sea views. ✔️ Resort Facilities: The pool, right in front of the beach, was often just for us. Though the pool bar isn't working yet, we could order from the main restaurant. The free spa and Jacuzzi with magical views were a highlight. 😋 Dining Experience: The food quality was good, with 4 out of 6 meals were exceptional. The seafood pasta in specific is my recommendation to try. 🛎️ Service: The service was outstanding. Philopateer deserves special mention for his excellent assistance. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mostafa El Sayed, the Director of Rooms, who was very professional, and Mariam Muradyan, the Hotel Manager. Mariam was genuinely interested in guest feedback and shared plans to elevate the resort even further. 🏝️ Location: The resort's location is breathtaking with crystal clear waters, sandy beach and romantic vibes. It takes 90 minutes from El Gouna, but the trip is worth it. 🌟 Cleanliness and Maintenance: The resort was very clean, the resort is new so everything is in a good shape. A minor AC issue was quickly resolved by maintenance. 💰 Value for Money: Though initially pricey, the facilities, location, and service made it worth every penny 👍 Overall Experience: The highlight was disconnecting from city life and enjoying quality time with my partner. The beach and water were amazing. I would 10000% recommend Tawila Island Resort and will definitely return.

United KingdomAll perfect I have never seen such a relaxing and peaceful resort
Tawila was like a piece of heaven on earth. The resort is so beautiful and clean. The Island is very secluded and peaceful, makes you forget about the stress of work! We initially only booked for 2 days, and then decided to extend to 5 days because we loved it soo much! The staff deserve a whole separate review,they were all truly AMAZING, so welcoming and accommodating. They always made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Special thank you to Mr Mustafa and Miss Hend honestly they made us feel we are the only guests in this island. I wish I can get chance to mention all staff names in this review but once you visit the place you will understand why I made this review. Honestly, one of the best places I’ve been to in a long time!

United StatesEverything about this place was amazing! From the time we first booked our stay, the reservation department reached out. They were super thorough and responsive in explaining everything we needed to know. The boat ride from the marina was smooth and the boat crew were very friendly. At the property, everyone from the reception staff to housekeeping were extremely welcoming. The customer service here is outstanding. The restaurant is very well run- the manager there, Mr. Hesham was very helpful. Restaurant staff, Mostafa, Abdelkader and Salma, were super friendly as well! As far as food goes, everything we tried was delicious. The property itself is breathtaking. The photos posted on the booking site don’t do it justice. The water is crystal clear and the views are incredible. The rooms are beautifully set up so the view is visible at all times. My husband and I are frequent travelers to different places, but this place is by far the best we’ve been to. It was an extremely relaxing trip and we’re looking forward to going back again!
