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 KingdomThe host Salem was very friendly and even gave us a flask of tea to his own recipe to take for the journey home. It was a very authentic place to stay amongst the most beautiful dunes. There wasn't much choice in food but that was good as it made you try the local cuisine which was delicious-cooked by his mum's cook! The tents were extremely comfortable with top quality linen and toiletries. The bathroom a bit basic but is what I expected attached to the side of a tent and everything worked well. Also ask to stay in the tents that are not overlooked by the cycle track as the lights from that disturb the night sky.

GermanyWe stayed for two days in the desert camp and can only recommend it. Salem is a great host with a mission. He plants thousands of trees in the desert. It is an experience to listen to him and his ambitious plans to green up the valley. The tents are luxurious – nothing is missing. Food is great and the service excellent. The area is large enough so that you stay private in your tent. We booked an additional tour through the dunes with a small buggy. It was not only a fun ride but also a trip where you recognize how different the dunes are. If you have Salem as a guide it is worth the extra cost for sure. If you want something extraordinary in Abu Dhabi, this is the place to go to

FranceHaving been in the UAE several times, this is the first time I can say I experienced Emirati culture first hand from the lovely Mr Salem and Brianne, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome but with a very close and familial cosiness that made us feel at home among friends. We got treated to local cuisine with recipes from Mr Salem's own family, an introduction to Oud, all about camels, and a visit to a local date farm where we were also welcomed by the owner. The tents couldn't be cosier, and the surroundings are just amazing. The dunes are immense and the whole location is surrounded by tranquility. You can take the electric fatbikes to explore the surroundings any time you want, and if you're of the more adventurous type, there's also the possibility of going dune bashing. At night there's barely any light around so it's easy to stargaze. I'm really looking forward to coming back next year and seeing how this true passion project has developed!
