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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United Arab EmiratesKids club was closed during our stay.
Beautiful and luxurious resort in the desert. Elegant and well kept rooms. The swimming pool is very nice. Breakfast was super tasty and the choices were endless. The best part was the service. Every single staff went out of their ways to make sure all guests are welcomed and served to highest standards. Don’t miss the spa, one of the best massage treatments we’ve ever had. Ala in all we highly recommend this resort.

United KingdomThe service at the Moroccan restaurant both for dinner and breakfast was slow. Meals took a long time to come. Not fast and efficient like we were used to in UAE.
Everything was beautiful. The staff were very attentive. The rooms are so comfortable- one of my favourite bathrooms ever!! The rooms are incredibly clean.

United Arab EmiratesThe tub in the bathroom's water was very weak so we couldn't use it, but that was ok. I would recommend adding more things to the pool menu, like a better range of salads, maybe sushi rolls or sashimi/ceviche.
The staff were EXCEPTIONAL. They went above and beyond to make sure we were always happy and taken care of. They went the extra mile everytime. The guys at the pool, Kar and the rest. Also Dipesh in f&b, I suppose, was phenomenal. They removed items off the bill that the kids didn't end up eating/liking and offered to replace it. We ate at the Italian restaurant in the evening and had an amazing experience with the staff there, a major plus was that the kids got to feed horses while we had dinner. We also did a horse ride around sunset into the desert which was so beautiful. I would say we recieved one of the best services I have ever experienced throughout our 2 days there. I found it pretty great that they had the calorie count on the menus at the pool bar and the Italian restaurant, I like that extra step. The guys that are with the falcon, hawk and owl are so kind and took time to explain to the kids about each one.

The staff was lovely....from the valet to the reception to the restaurant staff. Everyone assisted with anything we needed and made our stay amazing. The room was large and the bathroom was huge. The separate shower and tub was wonderful and the toiletries were also very nice. The pool area was large and well spaced. Very relaxing place!

South AfricaIt's far out from the city and the hotel doesn't have their own transportation. You have to wait for over an hour for a transfer service so book ahead of time. Rent your own car if possible.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. Pleasant and relaxing swimming pool in the middle of the desert. The breakfast is outstanding, as so is the dinner and drinks. The bedrooms are impeccable, spacious, and luxurious. Sauna and steam room included in the price. I hope I'll return some day.

United Arab Emirates- I would encourage more thorough cleaning of public areas after birds - It is stated that they have EV charging station, however, output is limited to 1,6KW which is less than in regular home socket - would be great for technical team to update system and provide at least 10KW+ charging capabilities
- Great location "in the middle of a desert" - Nice design with Arabic vibes, but not too overwhelming and pretty much minimalistic - Really liked buffet options for dinner - Nice, quiet and cosy environment

GermanyAmazing rooms, extremely clean, super nice and friendly people. Was an impressive stay and I would really recommend to go there if you´re happy outside of AbuDhabi. It´s an almost 1h drive into the city, which is for sure the biggest disadvantage if you have to work, but same time the biggest advantage to just be by the pool, relax and enjoy the quietness and the peace of the desert. I really liked the design, the comfy beds, tub, pool. Everything on a very high level. Really great stay. I loved it.
