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.).

QatarThe added extra costs for transport from the edge of the desert into the camp and the total cost meant we changed our plan from staying for 2 nights down to 1 night.
The peacefulness of the camp, the host, the cleanliness and interior decor. It was just as we hoped it would be!

United KingdomThis is just constructive ideas, it really is an awesome place to stay. Would be better a little deeper into the desert as we had people from nearby camp sites wandering past. The bed is extremely creaky and if you’re a restless sleeper the noise every time u move can be frustrating
The Dome is an awesome place to spend a night or 2, it’s extremely well equipped and looks amazing in the night with all the lights. Food was freshly cooked and delivered, very nice. Host family were lovely people and very helpful.

TurkeyThe host was lovely. Although there are many other camps in the area, the positioning of the domes give the impression of being alone. We had a great view of the sunset and night sky.

Germanytourism, including locals on weekends, with buggies and jeeps riding the dunes, is pushing deeper into the desert. Our host is aware, also aware of increasing waste. He plans to move the domes in a year further into the desert, from a 10 minute to a 30 minute ride with his special four wheeler
really thoughtfully planned and decorated two domes, not far from edgeof desert, but in very secluded spot. Host always has a smile on his face, dinner and breakfast, separately ordered, were excellent.

United KingdomWould advise others to check in before sunset, it can be quite daunting going into someone else’s car and drive through in the dessert in the dark. But that was our fault rather than the hosts.
Great trip and an amazing sunrise, something we’ll never forget. Host was spectacular and helpful.

PolandVery limited amount of hot water. Also, we were not aware that we are not able to get there with our car (however, we were approaching the place after dawn).
Beautifully located domes. Perfect place to see the stars and enjoy the desert. The owner of the domes is very kind.

The overnight stay at Bubbles Domes was incredibly nice. The accommodation is very nicely furnished and very clean. The owner exceptionally friendly and accommodating. For the overnight stay, you can book the transfer to the accommodation, dinner, breakfast, a desert tour with the off-road vehicle and camel riding. We did everything and are still absolutely thrilled and would come again. Thank you!

If you are looking for a unique desert experience, we highly recommend Bubbles Domes. It was one of our best experience on our trip through the Oman. You have 100% privacy in your dome in the middle of the dunes (we did not see that at any other desert camp). The dome is very well equipped and very special. We were welcomed extremely friendly and warmhearted by our host. He was more than helpful throughout our stay. He offered us fantastic activities like the 3h desert tour and camel riding. The food is amazing, water and snacks are included. Thanks for two perfect days!

ItalyWhen I did the reservation I believed that it was a far away camp in the middle of the desert. At the beginning, when I acknowledged that it was just 5’ away from the village, I felt a little bit disappointed. In the end, however, the ‘proximity’ to the village didn’t turn out to be a major issue, it doesn’t influence the view (you only see dunes from the bubble) and you anyway can experience driving through the dunes, if you want to.
The Bubble is incredibly well furnished, it has everything you can dream of. It has every confort, AC included. You are alone in the bubble, there’s only another bubble around, but not always at a sight’s view, so you really have the impression of sleeping alone in the desert. As a matter of fact, the structure is pretty close to the village compared to the other camps, so it’s particularly good for those Who want to stay nearby. In any case, you don’t see the village from the bubble. The dinner served directly in the bubble (we ate it outside watching the dunes) is of the best I remember in my Oman trip.

United KingdomDespite check in saying 3pm, the owner said 4pm. I questioned it and was told to arrive at 3pm, I arrived at 3.07 and was left waiting outside someone’s house for 40 minutes and then had no apology. On checking out, I did the owner a favour by driving myself out of the dunes in my own car and messaged to say where I’d left the key and thanked him, he didn’t even reply.
Clean and in a quiet area
