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.).

TaiwanEverything here was great. The tent was big and clean, the breakfast and dinner were various and delicious, and the staff were friendly as well. The most important reason why we love here is because of Rashid, he was super friendly, kind, and funny! We stayed here in January and we have already missed the beautiful desert and lovely people.

PolandThe location and hospitality of the host was great. The tent has everything you need to have a wonderful night on the desert. The camp is located around 20 minutes drive from the pickup point. Food was very good. There is a possibility to rent a ATV or have a nice ride on the dunes. Really recommend this place!

AustraliaEverything was incredible! From the beautiful accommodation to the food, to the conversation and laughs with Rashid and Mohammed, and most of all the location. Absolutely stunning. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The beds were so comfy and the activities were fantastic. Jafa (I think was his name) provided beautiful food and was so friendly and helpful in every way. We can't fault this place and can't wait to visit again!

United KingdomThe price for the desert tour with lunch seemed a bit high, but was still fun to do.
The camp is so great! What a peaceful and beautiful location. Also not too far from the car park spot. We stayed for 2 nights with our toddler and loved it. The tents are huge and the beds are comfy and big. We’re vegan and there was food for us to eat - rice, salad, veg, bread etc. Lots of water available too and lovely welcome drink/snacks. Loved seeing the camels in the morning at the camp. Was so much fun riding on the boards down the dunes and playing on the swing. Rashid was absolutely great with our toddler, it was so lovely to witness! Such a friendly and welcoming man. The camp fire after dinner was nice too and amazing to see all of the stars. There are portable chargers provided but just note these are only USB so you can’t charge things that have a 3 pin plug. I already miss this place! The staff that do the meals are also really friendly!

GermanyWe stayed for one night at Rashids Camp. The best decision! :) Rashid is so kindly, courteous, attentive, funny and, of course, himself. His camp has only 5 tents. For us the best because it was so private. The tents are so big, they have luxury and comfortble beds and a full equipped bathroom. He offered an amazing launch and breakfast. We felt like we were coming home. We would choose his camp again. And maybe we'll meet camels again who make their way back to his camp :).

United KingdomRashid is an excellent host but especially a good-hearted person. The camp is not far from Bidiyah but in an excellent location with beautiful dunes from which you can't spot any other camp. He offers many activities and excellent breakfast and dinner freshly cooked from the grill. The tents are clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this camp, great value for money. Thank you again to Rashid and the staff. Giorgia and Tiziana

United KingdomWe struggled to find the car park location, maybe clearer directions for that!
Rashid was very friendly and helpful wanting to make sure his guests were all happy, we couldn’t find the meeting place in Bidiyah and he sent someone to find us and take us to the camp. Location was just what we hoped for in the sand dunes and tent spacious and clean, lovely big comfortable bed. Plenty of food for breakfast and dinner, as we were late arriving Rashid faves us a little taste of dune bashing on our way back to the car park.

United Arab EmiratesProbably better to go during the week rather than the weekend if you value silence: there is a lot of motorized activity in the dunes during weekends (Friday + Saturday), as people drive quads and 4x4 for dune bashing. It's part of the local charm though! And also part of the activities that you can book if you wish.
Amazing place in the dunes near Bidiyah in Oman! The check-in is just so much fun right from the start: your 4x4 tires are deflated, and off you go through the dunes to the campsite. Rashid is a great host, very warm and welcoming, and very attentive to his guests. The room was unique and very comfortable, we had a restorative night there. The food for dinner and breakfast was delicious as well, in good quantity, served on this elevated platform with a view of the desert camp and the dunes. It was a lovely stay!

Rashid is an amazing host and so kind hearted. The location is very isolated from the other camps and right behind the last dunes for an amazing view into the desert. Food was very good and plenty available. We also did the camel training camp visit which was very interesting with Rashid‘s explanation. Dune bashing with sunset was also very entertaining.

Jaffa works in the camp, and he is in charge of the food and cleaning, and he does a great job. I would highly recommend Rashid Place. I will go back for longer time.

LithuaniaWe stayed only one night, but it was one of our favourite nights in Oman! The campsite is secluded enough - further from the city lights and other camps. You have enough privacy, silence and the sky full of stars. Rashid is a very nice owner, who is very welcoming, attentive, has great sence of humour and is an interesting person to talk to. So prepare all the questions you would like to have answered about Oman and Omanis! The food was great and the dune bashing was sooo much fun! :) Cannot wait to come back for more nights!
