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.).

The Junior Suite with Sea View was exceptional. The King Faisal room was outstanding. The breakfast buffet offered many choices and options. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating (they met our request for a late checkout :-).

United StatesEverything was more than excellent
A highly rated hotel with an excellent staff, unimaginable cleanliness and excellent work precision. It was opened in 1903 and since then its level has not dropped below excellent. It is distinguished by its unique location in the center of Alexandria, the bride of the Mediterranean. Visitors to this ancient city need to enjoy a comfortable stay with a high degree of cleanliness and precision at the Cecil Hotel Alexandria. I recommend visiting it to enjoy all the privileges it offers and also to feel that you are still enjoying the fragrance and antiquity of history, as this wonderful historical edifice is Also, so that he feels that he is still enjoying the fragrance and antiquity of history, as this wonderful historical edifice is distinguished by privileges that rarely exist today.

United KingdomWe didn't dislike anything but would suggest they use the rooftop for a terrace / bar as outside space would be nice.
We loved the location and charm of the hotel as well as our room / balcony which overlooked the Corniche. Staff too were very friendly and helpful throughout.

EgyptThe hotel is luxurious and elegant — everything about it is perfect! 💙 Haneen at the reception was super kind and very helpful, and the whole staff was friendly and professional. Housekeeping samia, yosria, and Naser in rooms 501 and 502 were excellent — both rooms were spotless and beautifully prepared. It is truly an amazing experience, highly recommended! ✨🌊

United Arab EmiratesMorning housekeeping noise was a little noticeable, but overall the comfort and experience outweighed this.
Right over the Mediterranean Sea and the hustle and bustle of downtown Alexandria. The location couldn’t be better, with everything just steps away. The charm of the hotel, combined with the warm welcome from the staff, made the stay even more special.

United Arab EmiratesBecause the hotel is a historical building, there are no doorbells, which I understand and like. However, the current practice of housekeeping in the early mornings and room service late at night loudly calling out “housekeeping” or “room service” in the hallways breaks the quiet atmosphere that visitors expect. I believe the hotel should explore a quieter way to notify or provide service without disturbing those resting in nearby rooms.
The hotel was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive, making me feel genuinely cared for throughout my stay. I especially appreciated that the towels were pristine white this time, which added to the feeling of freshness and care.

IrelandIf you take your hands off the open door it slams shut with a loud bang and if your door wakes others and if others doors can keep you awake... ear plugs fix the problem.
All the staff nice friendly and helpful. Excellent fast laundry. Nice food. Fast service. Feels like a new hotel even though very old. Everything works well in room. I would not consider staying anywhere else
