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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

BahrainThe entrance is bad. Either from the walking steeet. You have to pass by the kitchen and services. Or from the back and it’s far from the main road. The road is not properly asphalted. And you have to carry the luggage because it’s sandy road. The bathroom old. Need to have major maintenance.

*Friendly staff. *Clean bed and sheets. *Clean towels. *Clean bathroom with a suction unit. *Maintained furniture, doors and windows. *Staff allowed my friend to use the room and its facilities during my stay. *The room has a TV and an AC unit. *Spacious room, with three beds. *Extra blankets, bathroom mat and pillows. *Ideal if you need a clean, safe place to keep your belongings and sleep while spending the whole day outside. *Sunny balcony, though no view. *Small fridge in the room.

South Africabreakfast only starts at 8.30, and as I was diving everyday I didn’t get to eat breakfast. however, they brought me fruit platters in the evening as I didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, so that was a nice compensation. the towels provided could be cleaner, and I didn’t have a duvet for my bed.
very good location. the staff are all very friendly and helpful. the room was large and clean.

GermanyThe staff is exceptionally hospitable, always friendly, helpful, and greeting guests with a smile. The location is superb . right in the heart of Dahab. The host was fantastic, assisting us immediately with changing our taxi reservations when our arrival time changed. They even extended our check-out time the next day so we could change clothes and store our luggage after diving. The service was truly top-notch, and the terrace was a wonderful place to relax. Overall, it’s a trustworthy and cost-effective choice in Dahab.

United StatesThis place is right in the heart of the tourist promenade, so it’s not exactly quiet ,but that’s actually part of the charm. You’re steps away from the buzz, the shops, the sea, and all the energy of Dahab. My room had excellent Wi-Fi, which I really appreciated since I had to get some work done. The traditional Islamic architecture adds so much character to the place , it’s beautiful and feels authentic. Breakfast was a highlight! I tried both the Oriental and Turkish options, and they were delicious and super satisfying. The staff were warm and welcoming, always happy to help. If you’re looking for a central spot with great vibes, strong Wi-Fi, and delicious breakfast, Ali Baba Hotel is a solid choice. I wish I could stay longer but I will definitely do it next November.! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EgyptNothing, all good
It was an excellent experience in every aspect. The staff were very respectful and helpful, the rooms were clean and well-organized, and the bathroom was also spotless. The view from the hotel rooftop was wonderful — offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is located right in the middle of the promenade, directly on the beachfront. The location is perfect — the beach, cafés, and restaurants are all just steps away. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be quiet given its central location, but I realized it was the best choice for me. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely stay for a longer period next time.

United KingdomThe room was dirty with a nasty strong smell. All furniture is worn and torn. The toilet was full of hair and the toilet seat broken. The noise from Ali Baba kitchen staff was unbearable and they kept shouting/swearing and fighting until 3 AM. Hotel staff did not accept any responsibility for this or for anything else that we raised. Awful place, never again.

United KingdomI would say the only minor issue we found was that the free WiFi did not really work in our room. When it did, it was very slow to connect and a little bit patchy.
Everything about this place was lovely. Great location and easily accessible to all the nearby shops/restaurants. The roof terrace at the top was an ideal spot for breakfast in the morning, and just a great area to just relax if you want some down time. The room was clean with some very nice touches - we especially liked the balcony where you could sit and listen to the ocean waves in the morning. The staff were super friendly and very attentive to your needs. They were ready to help out with whatever questions we had and cooked up a lovely breakfast in the morning! Thank you! We will definitely be back again!

EgyptSurrounded by the crowded area of the market, the problem lies especially with the other kitchen of the Ali Baba restaurant, which doesn't belong to the hotel, making a lot of noise with tools and yelling at each other.
The location is excellent in the centre of Masbat Bay. The side view is a good option looking over souvenir shops, side-seaview, and side- mountainview. Breakfast is nice, and the chef is very helpful. Staff are helpful and honest. Suitable for families.
