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.).

United KingdomRooms not 'serviced' over long periods or thoroughly cleaned under beds and tables at all; shared bathrooms need cleaning more than once a day; no wi-fi in rooms.
Exceptionally welcoming and accommodating staff; many large and well-appointed rooms some with partial sea-view; great central location.

AustraliaBasically there is No wifi. It says there is wifi around reception, but 90% of the time there is Not. Every time the hotel received a call, the wifi stops. I have my own Sim with an Egypt card, but that did not work in the room either. The hotel is on the 5h floor ( each floor has minimum 25 stairs) and 2 out of 5 days the lift did not work. Also the lift does not work every single day between 5 and 7 pm. The Hotel itself is very clean, but outside the hotel and all surrounding areas are a pure nightmare.
It was extremely clean, much cleaner than the 5 star resort i stayed in Port Said. Great ambience and antique furniture. Female staff extremely helpful, friendly and nice. Good TV with great English options. Good pressure in shower and hot water 24/7.

Czech RepublicI think that Deluxe room could be better equiped for the price. It cannot be locked from inside, there is hole in the blanket, there was not bed linen for it. I would recommend to improve the mattress and the pillows.. its not very comfortable. We had much better experience in Cairo.
Perfect central location for observing the centre of Alexandria. The reception is open 24/7 and there is nice lobby. The communication with hotel before arrival was good. The atmosphere of the place is nice and calm.

United StatesThe bed wasn't the greatest. The rest rooms are large but not ideal.
Friendly, funny staff. Common TV room. Great breakfast value across the street, at "Old School." There are two CARITAS offices in the building on lower floors, in case you feel like donating a small sum. The building gets lots of sun, lots of rooms with balconies.

Location was great. We had a beautiful view from the balcony. I loved how old and historical the building was, especially the elevator!! Such an experience it felt like a movie set! Also thanks to the staff they were lovely and helpful.
