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.).

Very nice staff, attentive driver during the transfer from Bidiya to the camp. Food was good, but not spectacular. Rooms very nice and clean. You can do camel riding, dune bashing or quad driving as day time activities.

The tents provide all the essentials, offering the option to select either a room or tent. Our family of four stayed in a tent, creating wonderful memories. Optimal experiences include visiting during a full moon, where strolling on the moonlit sands becomes a captivating adventure. The camp's staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, diligently ensuring our comfort. Despite not feeling well one night, they consistently checked in to assist. Special thanks goes to Farhad and Khalek, who went above and beyond, making our stay enjoyable. They truly enhance the camp's appeal and I look forward to returning in the future.

OmanThe light inside the bathroom was dim not sufficient in the night, the “cracking” voice of the mattress when we turn over was annoying.
The location far into the desert, the renovation of rooms , the cooperation of staff, the cleanliness of rooms, food was delicious.

NetherlandsThere were few things that were not very satisfying. There could be more variety at the food and make it more traditional omani ( the camel was excellent though). There was network and electricity only for one hour around 21.00. There could have some live music and make it more welcoming for the people they had. We were like 15-18 people so I think this would have brought nice atmosphere. We were there to learn more about the region.
The tents were very nice as well as the location. We had a great service by Khalid.

United KingdomI felt that a fan might have been provided in the room however, electricity is in understandably short supply so any movement of ait in the room was as a result of opening windows. In the event though it did not become too hot.
Getting to the property was a joy in a self driven 4x4 20 km into the desert. Quite an experience! not only because of driving on sand but also because it had been raining heavily many plants had emerged giving a completely unexpected green blanket in parts. The accommodation was exceptional. The quality of the bed and facilities was unexpected. The food was good throughout. A camel ride for sunset and/or sunrise is a must to do.

Everything from start to finish! The Hospitality was extraordinary, very kind and understanding hosts, we arrived in very late in the Evening almost Midnight as we drove from Dubai that day. The host was able to accommodate us by arranging transport to the safari as our vehicles were not 4x4 and kept offices open beyond opening hours. upon arrival we were provided with Dinner then shown to our beautiful rooms. Food was excellent as well as service from the hosts, had everything we needed for the two days we were there and the views were second to none especially on the camel ride to the open desert and watching the sunset

ItalySpend a night in the desert is an experience that you must to do in your life, amazing! A guide bring us from the office to the camp with a 4WD passing through the desert, we was greeted with dates and tea, the room was really fascinating. Before the dinner we sit near the fire with the locals that offered us camel milk and a tipical bread. The buffet dinner was really good. In the early morning, at the sunrise, we do the camel walk in the dunes to see the sun sunrising, it was an unique experience.
