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.).

PortugalToilet flush does not have enough power. Shower is in the same floor as the entire toilet, but apparently that's common in Egypt.
the elevator is working now!! Location it is near the sea, and there are cafes and restaurants nearby. I recommend old street cafe, right across the street, English menu with decent prices. Good balcony view. Around 20minutes walking to Alexandria station. Host was very welcoming. Despite the constant traffic chaos noise, when closing the windows it dampens enough to manage to sleep

FranceThe sheets and pillows were not clean, and the overall condition of the hotel is very outdated. There are very few amenities, and the place could really use some renovation and better maintenance. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.
The location is excellent, very central and convenient.

GermanyI found this accommodation option by accident, but it ended up being the best thing that happened to me in Alexandria. The location is pretty central, and you can easily reach all the most important sights, including the corniche, by foot. What is even more fascinating, the hotel is located in a vintage building dated back to the colonial times. This way, living here is like going back in time and experiencing how people of the previous centuries lived. Moreover, my room had a wonderful view of the city, and I enjoyed spending every night on the balcony and admiring the nightlife of Alexandria. The staff is also amazing, all of them are helpful, responsive and attentive to all your needs. They helped me on many different occasions. At the same time, this accommodation is so cheap while still being great and pretty well maintained. I just wish I spent more days here... I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for affordable hotels in Alexandria.

CanadaI was in a single room for a few nights…it literally felt like I was in a hospital. I do not recommend the single rooms at all, however, I moved to a double and it was better in terms of space and it has a mini-fridge and a balcony which was okay if you’re staying for a few nights. It costed me extra, but I would say it was honestly not worth it at all. The bathrooms are shared, so if you wanted privacy, this was not on the list. Another thing I didn’t like is that they made you leave your room key with them until you come back…I still don’t understand the reasoning behind that, but I still asked them politely to take it with me every time since I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the key with them, although they still have a spare for emergency.
Staff was really sweet and supportive!

EgyptAll the staff is so kind and helpful and polite. There is hot shower,toilet paper,blankets.And the windows are thick, so I can’t hear much noise from outside. During the day,you can leave your luggage for 50 pounds per person.Because of that I was able to explore Alexandria without luggage even after checking out! If I come to Alex next time,I will stay this hostel again.

TurkeyThe room and bathroom were not too clean but it was acceptable given the price.
The hotel is the top floor of a building on the street next to Steigenberger Hotel. The elevator was nostalgic and it worked great. The manager was friendly and helpful with a smiling face, and it was easy to communicate in English. The hotel surpassed my expectations and is definitely better than its price expectation.

GermanyThe place is quite worn out what wouldn't be a problem but several things were not clean. The room looked as it wasn't cleaned since several days and in the cabinet was the dust from months. The sheets had some holes and stains, the mattress was ripped and well over its expected lifetime No room cleaning You had to ask for more toilet paper The shower head was in the middle of the bathroom with nothing around it, so it flood the whole bathroom when you shower Wifi didn't work
No traffic noise Is in a small side street near the central square Friendly staff

PolandI expected room to be vintage and outdated. But it really needs some renovation and deep cleaning. The AC is dirty, there was a cockroach in my room. There is no view from the window because it's only in between the walls of the building. It was loud - I think the sound was coming from using an elevator. I could smell cigarettes.
The location was great and the personel was also very nice.

EgyptStaff weren’t very welcoming or friendly. Except those on the night shift which you don’t really see coz you’re sleeping. Always nagged me about money I should pay since I upgraded my room. I also had to pay 50 LE just to leave my bag when I checked out. There aren’t enough toilet paper in the shared bathrooms.
I loved the old building and the neighborhood very much. The room was basic with old style furniture but cozy.
