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.).

GermanyThe camp is very beautiful and the location overlooks the sunset and sunrise. We had a lot of fun with Hilal. He was hospitable and welcoming. He would entertain me by riding the sand in his car. He was a skilled driver at sunset and riding camels in the early morning. It was beautiful with watching the Bedouin house and the life of the countryside. We recommend this camp.

OmanOh, I took a moment to share my review. Trust me, this is one of the best camps in Oman. I have visited many camps but this one is the best of the best. The breakfast was very delicious with fresh vegetables and beef. The owner of the camp was very kind and picked me up from Bidya to the desert.The drive from Bidya to the camp in a Nissan Patrol Safary 4 WD ohhh this is my love. One day I will buy this car and drive to the desert again. We rented camels, quads, open fire, good beads all the best. Believe me, it's better than you might think.

We had a magical stay at Crescent Camp. The camp has a smaller amount of tents than others so is more peaceful and a more authentic experience. The tent and beds are clean and comfortable, there is tea, coffee and fruit available 24/7 in the main tent. Dinner and breakfast were lovely and had a variety of options to please everyone. Although some people have mentioned in their reviews that the meals and activities are overpriced, they are more affordable compared to other camps. There are balls and a volleyball net available for children to plan with. We enjoyed a wonderful dune bashing adventure which the whole family loved. It was magical waking at 4am for a bathroom trip and gazing up at the Milky Way above.

SlovakiaThe owner does not really take care about time (arrived 1,5 hour later then agreed on the next morning). Probably not unusual but not very helpfull. But he is a nice guy, tries to organize you as much time as possible (dune bashing, camel riding, ATVs... :)
Very different and adventurous stay when travelling in Oman. Nice equipped camp has everything you need except for wifi and power in the sockets for charging your phone. But you can enjoy sunset from a swing, night sky, sit for hours by the fire and wake up with the newborn sun over the dunes (if you want to). We had a pretty amazing later afternoon and night in the camp, I absolutely recommend

Hilal’s driver was perfect and had great experience in sand blasting. The camel riding was very beautiful and the quad bike riding was very special.

Czech RepublicSpending a night in a desert camp was a great experience. The accommodation cost is more reasonable than the other desert camps, and you can add on various activities in the desert. The camp is very welcoming; the owner helped us with everything. He even helped us when we had issues with our car in the desert, I highly recommend staying at his place.
