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.).

VietnamStaff, other than manager/owner (do not know) have a attitude like we are serving them. We pay the bills not them. I saw many encounters with them but mine was the wash. They told me 24 hours, at 36 hours they were dumped, I got my cloths with socks very wet. They had them in the dirty cloths bag I gave them. My wet socks were in the bottom of a dirty cloths basket. They said this is not a problem. They took the socks and they sat on the counter in the wet bag for another 4 hours. When I questioned them, they promised to dry by today. The socks are just as wet as out of washer after 2 1/2 days and I was leaving. To me this is purposeful, spiteful and not normal. If you are going to service the western world please get new workers and get rid of the women in particular. She will kill your business.
I liked the nice kitchen although had to alwaysborrow from other kitchen on another floor (no plates/bowls etc.).The interior of hostel new, comfy beds, and good breakfast.

United StatesThe building is old and dilapidated (no working elevator), but that is basically every place I stayed in Egypt. Smoking… but again, every place in Egypt.
Probably one of the nicer hostels I’ve stayed at. The shared dorm room beds each have a privacy curtain, a cabinet, and a power outlet. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. I enjoyed the breakfast and the location is really good. An amazing hostel for the money.

SwitzerlandNot enough toilet paper twice. Extended, but it wasnt properly noted so another guy slept in my bed when I came to the hostel. Had to use another bed that didn't have a blanket. The ladders should be secured so that they can't move, otherwise an accident is only a matter of time. Breakfast starts at 9, which is a bit late if you want to avoid the crowds at the pyramids and not skip breakfast. Apart from those minor things it was a great stay.
Great bathrooms like in a hotel, nice and comfy bed. Friendly. Great breakfast.

IrelandThe only negative thing was the breakfast, served bet 9 and 11. Too late if you want to leave early to see the city. When I went at 9 nobody was there, except for one guy. Waited 5 minutes for the girl who prepare. Bf and I finish at 9.30. It was my last day so I had already visited most places. Otherwise I hat to skipped it. If I come back to Cairo I will go again to this place.
Before moving to TTM for one night I was in a hotel, a little more expensive but having a room for myself. I dixn, t want to share but I wanted to try the KTM because of the good reviews and price. It did, t dissapoint me. The check in took 3 minutes and the room was quite big with lockers and curtains for privacy.. In front were 4 bathrooms, quite new and clean.. The location is about 10 blocks from Tahir Sq. And 2 blocks from metro st. The guy at recepción was friendly and helpful.

BelarusMy room was quiet, but without a sun, unfortunately. The window is going on the inner side of the building, where's almost no sun. So if you gonna stay in the hostel for a day time, you're gonna use lights.
Stuff is very friendly and helpful. WiFi is working almost all the time. AC, tv, a small fridge in the room, big comfy bed with towel and private bathroom with towel and soaps. Breakfast is traditional Egyptian, could be a bit more variety. Anyway, I recommend this hostel.

United StatesI wish there was an indoor lounge with no smoking allowed. Or that there was an outdoor space. Front desk staff seems hit or miss.
I chose KMT Hostel since I needed a cheap place to sleep for one night in Cairo. It's well located - I walked there from the bus station. There are restaurants nearby and the metro is close. My bunk bed was comfortable and roomy, though I suspect the room gets crowded when all the beds are taken. The bunk has a personal plug, light and a shelf. Bathroom was clean with good showers. I left early, so didn't try the breakfast. The hotel owner was my taxi driver to the airport, very easy.
