Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

EgyptEverything was perfect
The vibes in the place is just exceptional! As a solo girl travelling the place was safe, clean and very friendly. It was a great adventure full of meeting great people from all over the world,, going places and making new friends. It started as me a stranger and ended of having my second family at Ithaka ♥️ will definitely visit again. Everyone from the hostel staff to guest are very welcoming and respectful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy place to stay. Don't be fooled by the old doors at the entrance, behind it is one of Alex hidden gems ✨

AustraliaNo air-conditioning in rooms, street noise can be loud, and the internet is slow.
Good hostel with convenient location in Alexandria. The hostel is close to transport, cafes, and main attractions, which makes it super easy to get around. The hostel is clean and welcoming, and receptionist Ahmed was super helpful with everything I needed.

PolandHad to be careful a lot on those bunk beds (top one) because I almost twisted an ankle due to it not being very stable, although I think it's possible to change it to the bottom one so that shouldn't be a problem to others if there are not too many people.
The communication was great even before I arrived, all of my questions have been answered without any issues. After I got there, the staff was very helpful, friendly and understanding. The whole place was clean and comfy, especially the bathrooms, that's a nice change from some other experiences I've had with different hotels. The common area was my favourite thing due to being able to spend time with friends indoors and just chilling/resting. I deeply recommend, especially for a longer stay 🤍 also, I loved the balcony view !

EgyptWifi wasn't working in the dorm. The building entrance is dirty, the hostel itself is clean tho. If you need the AC, they only turn it on for just 2 hours.. Luckily I visited when the weather was still fine without AC.. but that's not sustainable in July or August.
Perfect location, delicious breakfast, the hostel itself is clean. Staff are awesome and cheerful very supportive. Even with some few glitches, I would stay again

Hong Kong- I stayed in a dormitory. It was equipped with bunk bed. The upper deck is too high for Asian people. I couldn't grap any objects on the bed when I stood on the floor. - To access to the Ithaka Raml hostel, you had to spot the sign " Fouad hotel" at the street. Or else you could not find it.
The kitchen was spacious and equipped with cooking utensils.
