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.).

The rooms are super tidy and clean, the location is top downtown Cairo, 15 min on foot from various attractions, restaurants and eateries in radius of up to 300 meters, comfy beds and nice breakfast. The most amazing about this place is the staff and the host, Hamada is brilliant host, endlessly helpful with everything we needed, including negotiating ubers and restaurants and attractions. We will definitely come again with our kids to the same place! Highly recommended!

United KingdomA perfect place to stay in Cairo! Excellent location in downtown Cairo. Only a short walk away from Tahrir Square, Egyptian museum etc and lots of good restaurants nearby. Hamada and Amr are the owners and are very kind and helpful. We spent many evenings chatting and I learnt so much about the Egyptian culture and they even taught me a few Arabic phrases! They even ordered Egyptian Nutella feteer for me one day to cheer me up when I was feeling down. Habiba and Samar are super lovely and smiley and they cook delicious breakfasts too. The hostel has a homey feeling and I will definitely return here in my next visit to Cairo!

NetherlandsMohammed was a great host, he helped us arrange all transportation and waited for us to arrive long in the night when our flight was late. Habiba made amazing breakfasts and was eager to make sure we were comfortable. We went on an amazing horseback riding adventure with Nouran in the Saqqara Desert as well. The room was very spacious and comfortable, and the location was great to see the Egyptiam Museum, walk to the Bazaar, or to just walk around downtown Cairo.

Brunei DarussalamLocation in Downtown Cairo where the roads outside are a bit noisy if you are facing the street, but settles down at late night.
The hostel was amazing in the downtown Cairo. Location is safe, just opposite the Bank of Egypt and small convenience store is just below the hostel, about 10 minutes walk to Tahrir Square and access to M.Neguib Metro station is about 400m away. The room was very huge, clean and bed is really comfy. Breakfast was good and having it outside the balcony with view of the Cairo street is just great. The hostel also provided a self service small kitchen area for making tea or instant food throughout your stay. The staff, was really friendly and Hamada was very helpful for arranging us the airport transfer for our departure. Anyone going to visit Cairo and want a budget accommodation, just book this hotel.

United KingdomThere was a cute cat that I saw on my first day who I thought lived at the property but didn’t see her again.
I had an excellent stay here. Great location in the centre of downtown Cairo. It is a very safe area, located directly opposite the national bank of Egypt and all the touristy spots are within walking distance. Only a 10 minute walk to Tahrir Square. The room was clean, bed was really comfortable, breakfast was good, as a beautiful balcony view in the streets of Cairo. What made the stay even better were the staff, who were all so friendly, especially Hamada, Amr and Habeeba, who gave recommendations of places to visit and local restaurant recommendations.

Great place in the central Cairo. Room was very spacious, we had nice balcony and everything we needed. Breakfast was simple but good, staff is very helpful and flexible. Really great place for travellers who want to explore central Cairo as well as Islamic Cairo. We were very satisfied and would come back again!

United KingdomBecause it is located in central Cairo the roads outside are very noisy. But that is Egypt and it is hard to find a quiet place.
The staff was excellent and very laidback and flexible. They provided personal service around our needs. The room was big and airy and had everything a normal hotel room should have - AC, TV, bathroom etc. The location was great and close to the museums and shops. I would strongly recommend this hotel. We stayed in soulless Hilton before but Paris East is far better and more personal.
