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 EmiratesThere wasn't really a restaurant - and the related restaurant next door is a little pricey - but still nice.
The location was incredible - right across from the entrance to the historic Nizwa fort.

United KingdomThey are undergoing a renovation and understandably were in a transition period whilst we stayed. There was also a national emergency in Oman due to a storm and lots of rain - this caused minor leaks through some aircon units in the building (our room was unaffected) - but this was an unusual circumstance!
Nizwa is an incredible city and worth a visit. This hotel is excellently located - although there is no designated parking they did guide me to an off-street space they have which they let me park in. I had recently proposed and the staff went above and beyond to surprise my girlfriend with some romantic lights, rose petals and heart shaped towels. The owner is a talented water colour painter and we purchased one as a souvenir of Nizwa.

United Arab EmiratesThe location was superb! It was so close to the souq and there were lots of lovely places to go to eat. It was just across the road from the entrance to the fort. The rooms were large and spacious and had wonderful views of the fort and mosque dome and minaret. We hope to be able to return sometime.

We had a wonderful stay at Durrat Hotel which is located in the centre of Nizwa by the beautiful fort. The accommodation is new and very comfortable, it is close to all landmarks and offers a nice breakfast nearby. The staff were absolutely lovely, very kind and professional. Made the experience very welcoming and pleasant. They even brought a cake for my partner’s birthday which was a very special memory that we will cherish. Thank you for our great time at Durrat, we will return to the hotel in the future!

HungaryThough it was okay that the bathroom did not open from the room, bathroom itself was not in a very good shape. The moveable shower head did not work, and the tiles were a dirty and chipped. There was also a smell in there in every part of the day. There could also be an extra pair of pillows. And there were no electric outlets except for the one by the door. The restaurant at the top was very expensive and also way too european. If someone goes to such a traditional place as Nizwa it is unlikely they wish to eat ceazar salad. They were out of anything that was slightly arabic on the menu.
Awesome location, very clean room, beautiful paintings and design. There was an actual artist in the hotel at all times who did the paintings in the hotel, and we could watch him paint. First hotel in Oman where I got enough towels. ❤️ Very comfortable bed.
