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 KingdomFood was great in terms of prices and quality. Setting and accessibility to the surrounding areas is outstanding, as were the staff and their guidance for the area. The Peak coffee shop was a pleasant surprise and a great addition to the trip.

United Arab EmiratesThe rooms didn't have face towels or bath mats. Beds were a bit small same for the duvet size. More toiletries are needed when you have 2 guests.
The view is amazing, the cafe downstairs is cool, the breakfast is decent. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

GreeceThe hotel has seen better days and could use some maintenance, particularly the bathroom. The hotel coffee shop had been redone, and it looked very modern and new, but the rest of the hotel could use some touches, too.
We booked this place for the view, and in that sense, it met our expectations. The hotel staff was great and helped us with everything we needed. There was a heated pool at the edge of the balcony, which looked amazing, but we were not brave enough to use it. We were there during the storm in the gulf and got stuck for an extra half day before we could get off the mountain. The manager was very attentive and helped us with information and making arrangements for our next booked trip. We also really enjoyed our dinner (Indian cuisine) and buffet-style breakfast

Omananother guest that quite noisy in the night
My one-night stay at Sama Hotel was exceptional. The service was excellent. I was get a room upgrade to a astonishing mountain view, together with complimentary breakfast. The room was quite spacious with great amenities, including a small fridge. The highlight was the various bloom roses in hotel area and room balcony with panoramic views, perfect for relaxing. I can sit there for hours and enjoy the view. Overall, an excellent experience exceeding expectations. Highly recommended

United KingdomOur room could do with a needed upgrade. We had some very load people with children on our floor who were running around and screaming down the corridors till well after midnight. Not fault of the staff but they didn't seem to mind at all. We only had breakfast here but wasn't the best we had in Oman.
The view from our room was very good as hotel was on a high spot.

United KingdomThere isn't much in the way of restaurants around the hotel but dinner is available there or at other hotels. There isn't much else to do of an evening, we watched a good film in the room!!!
The view from our room on the 3rd floor was absolutely amazing, room comfortable and clean, bathroom a bit dark. The pool was heated but we didn't use it. Buffet dinner was available but we couldn't wait until 7pm (wish we had) and ate at a local restaurant. There was something for everyone at breakfast. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. It's well located for local walks.

United KingdomThe breakfast was terrible. Really need to do better. I could not eat half the items, fruit was clearly from cans and bread was cheap and old. Chefs do not know how to cook.
Sama is ok. We had the chalet house which had no view, but it was still a good option given that you can view the canyon a short 30 second walk away. The room was massive and plenty of space. However, we took a day pass and went to Anantara for the day which is a million times better, but also costs 10X as much. Use this place as a camp site and enjoy anantara and the local sites from here. The price is reasonable and it has a good view.
