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.).

Poland-
my stay was amazingly nice. the owner is a very kind and helpful person. I felt very welcome. Also from before my arrival, great communication on WhatsApp. The view is great, right next to the Sphinx, first line of buildings in front of pyramids. The food was also very delicious (I am vegetarian), with a great view. I recommend this place to everyone, to have a nice, relaxed atmosphere in Giza.

United StatesNot much to see other than the pyramids and the area is not great for walking, not a safe place with lots of people hassling you to buy things.
Great location, incredible view of the pyramids. Shared terrace with a couple other hotels, but a private tent just for Kemet room guests. Great breakfast included. They made a great Bedouin dinner for $15 which is expensive, but the quality and love in the meal was amazing. And with that view! Air conditioning worked perfectly, and one of the beds has a view of the pyramids from the bed itself! Best way to wake up.

GermanyNothing to complain about. Perfect stay. A decent value for money accommodation.
The host Saad was the best in my life and became a very close friend to me as well. He and his family went above and beyond to make my experience a unique and better one. The room looks too Egyptian and the direct view from the terrace and room to Pyramids made the happiest man ever. I would strongly recommend everyone to please book this property, Saad will do his best to make your trip a memorable one. Also great breakfast. Lots of love my friend from India

EcuadorAll was superb
The view and the amazing hospitality the hosts (father and son) offers beside the room. The place is located just behind the Giza pyramids, you can enjoy in your private tent in the rooftop the view as much you want while you enjoy the amazing breakfast cooked by The host. We went in summer and the heat was amazingly high but they had a strong aircon makingc the room as they call “Alaska”. They support us after our luggage got missed to find new clothes in local shops, they arrange for us a tour guide in private car (totally recommended). You need to understand the great reviews are for their charm hospitality more than the place, because the place offer the normal conditions you need in Egypt! Aircon, toilet and comfortable beds. You cannot avoid be surrounded by dust, but the hospitality of the son and father make this place enjoyable.

AustraliaNothing at all
We stayed at this fantastic accommodation and had an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the host, Saad, who was incredibly responsive (replied to the messages via WhatsApp in a second) and extremely friendly. He went out of his way to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. One of the highlights of our stay was the food. Chef Adel is a truly talented chef, and every meal was a delight. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It was a treat to enjoy such high-quality cuisine without having to leave the comfort of the accommodation. The view from the accommodation is simply breathtaking. Each evening, we were able to watch the sunset with the pyramids and sphinx in the background—a truly magical and unforgettable sight. It was the perfect way to end each day, adding an extra layer of beauty to our stay. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations. The combination of Saad's exceptional hospitality and Chef Adel's culinary skills made for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

CanadaDue to the room's amazing location (top floor of a building, where breakfast is served for 1-2 other hotels), we can hear people chatting right outside at the breakfast balcony till 1 a m for 1 of the nights. You can also hear breakfast being served at 7am if people choose to sit close to the pyramids. However, Cairo is known to be a sleepless city. So we kind of expected it. Overall, I recommend this lovely bed and breakfast to anyone who wishes to stay in Giza. You will receive a warm welcome, a magical view of the pyramids, use of a private tent/booth on the breakfast balcony, and Adel's lovely food.
Warm and welcoming staff - the owner Saad is available to answer questions via WhatsApp and reply extremely fast. The chef Adel learned that we prefer Egyptian breakfast, instead of standard pastries. He tailored the breakfast to our needs for the next 2 days. We also had delicious supper prepared by Adel for 1 of the nights. All of our meals are served in our private colourful tent/ booth overlooking the pyramids! Clean, spacious room Provided portable heater for the cold March evening. View of the Sphinx and the pyramids from 1 of the 2 windows in our rooms. The hotel is located on a quiet side street right by the Sphinx entrance (less than 5 min walk).

MalaysiaKemet room is a rare find. Location is incredible, you basically have the front row seat to be greeted by Khufu, Kaffre and Menkaure Pyramid everyday, and yes the sphinx too. And is only 2 minutes walk to the Giza ticket counter. The room is basic but well decorated with Bedouin carpets and textile. And Kemet room have a private tent right outside the room. Very well decorated too. The breakfast is served with some Egyptian pastry and coffee. For the price you pay it is an unbeatable value. Worth mentioning Saad is a truthful, passionate and a welcoming host

CanadaWe enjoyed every part of our stay. It's not a fancy suite in post hotel, but we didn't expect that.
The room is located beside the rooftop patio with your own private tent, right beside the pyramids and Sphinx. I dont think you can get any closer or have a more perfect view! Saad is a great host, and made us feel like family at home. He was always looking out for us, making sure we had everything we needed, and and that our time in Egypt was as great as possible. They provided dinner for us as extra, and it was an incredible meal looking out over the pyramids.

ArgentinaEverything was outstanding.
Kemet Pyramids Room view offers the best view of the Pyramids in the whole Cairo. They are the nearest building to Pyramids and to the site entrance. You can have a one lifetime breakfast with view to the Pyramids or even enjoy the Pyramid's lights show from the hotel. But wait because that is not the best part. The hotel is owned by a small local family composed by Saad, Adel, and Yahia that from the first minute they make you feel that you are at home and that you are one more member of the family. I've been and worked in many hotels and no one made me have such a great stay as Saad. He was born in this same building so he knows every secret from its neighborhood. He is always willing to help and assist. I don't want to forget the excelent attention from Adel. If you are visiting Cairo, this is definately the place you should stay.

The owners of the hotel, azizi, adel and the two young bosses, thank you very much, this is a great place. The hotel is under renovation, but we don't care.

United StatesThe room worked for me. Realize it is a basic room with AC and beautiful decoration but nothing fancy.
The view is the best you can get without entering the pyramid site. It provides a calm atmosphere to soak in the energy without all the hustle that is below. The food by Adel was amazing and plentiful. He was such a kind soul who was a joy to talk to making it feel like home. The whole staff are readily available and so kind. They helped me set up plans and gave me local advice. They currently only have the one room so I had a lot of personal attention ☺️ They will soon have many more rooms. With the hang out tent created at the top it could be a nice place to mingle. For me, it was a great place for yoga and relaxation. I would definitely come back when I visit Giza.

HungaryThis place is run by a local family whose members are extremely attentive and caring. The communication with them is immediate and excellent. The place has a terrace providing first class views on and maximum proximity to the Pyramids. You get breakfast every day and you can also request dinner. The view and proximity deserve an absolute 10, however the room is very basic with a small shower whose use is rather uncomfortable. The water is dropping so there is always water on the floor, the toilet is dirty and old, the shower curtain is also dirty and old, the tap is too big for the sink, so the water runs to the floor rather than to the sink. These are nuances that you can live with in Egypt, but, honestly, I wouldn't recommend this room for more than 1-2 nights for travelers with Western standards. Besides, there was a construction going on in the building, consequently, everything was full of white powder even on the terrace. The terrace has a back part that serves as a garbage storage, again, you may not want to use this part of the terrace, but it certainly adds to the overall impression and experience. My biggest issue was, however, the lack of internet despite the place being advertised as one with WiFi. This was quite deceptive and unexpected. Overall, interesting local experience for one night or maybe two until you visit the Pyramids, but would not rely on it as a background for my whole stay in Cairo.
