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.).

Quaint hotel in a village in Luxor. We really enjoyed our breakfast, the garden area and the Terrace off our room. We had a nice stay and enjoyed a stroll down to Wolf Restaurant.

FranceCleanliness/upkeep: You can tell the place is older, things are kind of falling apart (in my room a towel hook fell off the moment I tried using it, and the shower curtain rod was basically falling off the wall) Smell: The smell of the sheets isn't great, I think they hang them to dry outside but seeing as the air smells like burning fire most of the time the sheets smelled kind of gross. Comfort: The beds are old box springs, not great. Vs the price though I can't complain about these things !
Location: Close to the main areas and easily accessible while remaining in a calm are Indoor courtyard: Incredible space to relax, eat, and enjoy the garden! It's so nice to have this area. Staff: Staff were really friendly and kind Restaurant: Good food, not expensive

MontenegroFacilities are rather old, almost everything in the room is old and the bathroom really needs some renovation. The same goes for pool furniture as well. The pool was dirty and poorly maintained during our stay (as seen in attachment). We got 1 towel for 2 of us which was anyway damp when given. The restaurant is much more expensive than others nearby, so you would be better off taste and price wise to explore other options around.
The location is great since it is very close to the ferry and many great restaurants. The garden is a big plus too. For us breakfast was sufficiently good. The staff was kind and helpful.

SwitzerlandOne of the staff members was romantically interested in me, which was very awkward because I have a fiance. He and the man next door both expressed their interest in me and did not stop asking even when I expressed I am not interested. However both men are very lovely people and so is the rest of the staff. I wish them all the best.
The room was very clean and the staff were helpful. I loved the location, which is very close to the ferry.

United StatesThe rooms are underwhelming, with almost no amenities (e.g., no shower curtain, one towel per person, no shampoo, etc.). The breakfast is basic (1-egg "omelette" anyone?), and you have to pay extra for additional coffee or even butter (while not being warned that it costs extra until the checkout).
A nice courtyard, good WiFi, friendly and helpful staff, close proximity to the ferry and West Bank restaurants, heaters are available upon request though not allowed to leave them on overnight.

JapanDo not stay here. First of all, the hotel is in a bad location and inconvenient. The beds are clean, but the bathroom is dirty and there were 4 cockroaches that we killed. The manager overcharged us for the taxi to the airport on the way back (30$/2,000EGP for a 20-minute ride to the airport). He even asked for a tip for him, but we had no choice but to pay because the hotel is in a bad location and we have no other way to call a taxi. We will never come here again.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like (apart from an exchange rate hike - which made the trip much more expensive than we had planned for). The little sachets of shampoo provided had permanent black dye in them. I imagine it's a shampoo widely used in Egypt - but I only realised after using it twice, and others mentioning it, that my light hair had darkened significantly. Not a problem for me, but it could be for others.
We loved the location - on the quieter West Bank of the Nile, in a village where everyone knew each other and was so friendly. As we were there for two weeks, we actually felt welcomed into the community. People knew who we were and said hi - just from friendliness. There wasn't the stress of the highly touristic East side where the posh hotels are. We felt we'd made a great choice for our budget. The hotel itself was lovely. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast & the lovely evening meals we took in the gorgeous garden were great. They were made memorable by the kindness and friendliness from the staff. Staff were happy whether we ate at the hotel or chose to go out - we just let them know our plans in the morning. There are lots of good local restaurants - but we especially enjoyed 'Africa' and two right on the river 'The Lighthouse' and 'The Nile Rose'. We also loved a very nice cafe called Moon Cafe which had just opened. Good WiFi, lovely music, perfect cappucinos and amazing biscuits. We also ate there some evenings, and although the menu looks simple, the dishes were divine. Back at the hotel, hot water and WiFi were great 95% of the time. There was a fridge in the room and the staff gave us the use of a kettle - which we hugely appreciated. The pool was a boon for cooling off at the end of a hot day, and pool towels were provided. Mohamed, the proprietor, helped us plan our trips and sourced the most wonderful guide for us. As a group we were really interested in the historical and cultural details. Our guide, Mahmoud, had a PhD in the Coffin Texts. He was well connected and extremely well informed. We know from eavesdropping on other tours by less qualified guides that we had very high quality input. Mahmoud was very encouraging to one of the teenagers in our party with a passionate interest in history.

GermanyThe place is close to a mosque which will wake you up at 5 a.m. Also the facility was most basic. My room did not have and hooks to hang anything, the wifi did not connect and after having asked repeatedly if they might know why it wasn't their concern anymore after I left it. The breakfast is bad. It's no real coffee, one orange, some break and butter and 1 egg. For the price relatively speaking it is far below my expectation. Unfortunately, the newly built building seemed still half in construction as the floor of my room was still all dusty too. The first night I did not even have soap and they forgot towels too. Neither the service nor the facility were good for the price.
The common area is nice. An evening fire place and a cozy inner garden makes it homey.

Saudi ArabiaFrom the photos, I thought the place might be more stylish, but it is very outdated. The staff was quite unfriendly and did not accept our request to cancel the reservation. The shower in the bathroom was broken and the water leaked out into the room. Thankfully someone came to fix it.
The breakfast was basic. More Western than Egyptian. Beautiful garden to relax in. The neighborhood is traditional and very photographic. I enjoyed the ferry ride across the Nile to the accommodation.

Mustafa and his staff were very friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and refreshing after a few long days of travel. The hotel was far enough away from busy roads that it was very peaceful and quiet - we only heard the sounds of animals which was nice and it's only a short walk from the Nile River. Luxor is an hour flight from Cairo and a good central location between Aswan and Abydos. We'll be staying at the Amon Hotel when we return!

We organised most of tours through the hotel owner or manager, and they were always kind enough to have breakfast available for us no matter how early we needed it. Highly recommend.
