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 EmiratesFood was surprisingly horrible and extremely over priced. Penne Arrabiata from room service wasn't edible, and for 28 usd... Restaurants all over the hotel were overpriced for the quality of the food offered. Although everything else was spot on, we definitely wouldn't consider returning just because of the food scene.
Amazing staff all over the hotel. Specially 'Said' from pool/beach area. Really goes above and beyond.

BelgiumNothing really.
My stay was superb. The hotel was better than what I thought. When you go to the Middle East Region, I have experienced that hotels don't always look like the pictures they show but Shangri-la was true to what stated. The hotel is like a Palace, I loved the lobby and interiors. My room was spacious and more than fully equipped. They even add details like a hairband for girls, which was so handy because I had forgotten mine. This little details make the stay like at home. Plus I have no words for the staff, such lovely and kind people, both the manager and the rest of the team. They serve you like a king. Loved my stay and will definitely return. Ah and forgot, the location was majestic.

SwitzerlandLarge choice of restaurants from the 3 Shangri-La Hotels connected, but pricing is not justified. Buffet restaurant, for example, is good, but not up to the pricing (round 60USD per person). Restaurant pricing should be reconsidered in the three premises.
You never get wrong in a Shangri-La. A unique hotel with absolute benchmark guest experience. Specifically pointing out the very warm and authentic personal. The breakfast with view on the beach is a delightful experience. The rooms are large and let you feel that unique Shangri-La culture, no matter where in the World you enter their hotels. Definetlely a recommendation if you plan to go to Oman. Private Beach access from hotel.

United KingdomAt appertif hour it would be ideal to have a drinks menu. Staff have to tell you what’s available which it takes a long time. The cocktail mojito was terrible. For the price of the room I think they could have a mixologist. Or someone with more knowledge about cocktails. Also one thing that attracted us to the room is the pre drinks and canapés. We only got two tiny canapés each.
The surroundings are amazing. Very beautiful. Everything from the private beach and the staff were amazing. Lovely breakfast with ice coffee and smoothies and healthy shots

FranceI reported to the front desk that I lost my nike cap during my stay but I didn't hear any feedback from your hotel.
The breakfast offers very good selection. The staff are very attentive, courteous and helpful. I love the hotel's private beach and spend my days on the beach throughout my stay. There are so many water activities eg: kayak, snorkling etc. I love watching the sunset from this beach too. One thing that bothers me is that the opening hours for evening cocktail in the courtyard was too short for me to enjoy. I hope the hotel management should review it as not everyone wants to have dinner in the evening. Sometimes, guests just want to chill and relax.

United KingdomLeaving 😢
Coming back to our magical home! For my milestone birthday celebration, I decided against a massive party… instead I’m taking the year to spend time with people who matter, revisit places which have meant a lot to me and to tick some more things off my bucket list. The Al Husn at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah resort in Muscat was our dream escape for nine years. Other priorities took over, and this was our first visit back since 2015. I have written twice before about Al Husn, reproduced below. Those words remain as true today as they did when I wrote them. Except, of course, it’s worth noting the impressive new gym and Luban Spa, the new restaurants and the reworked afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks which are served in even more style! To be doing this, having emerged from the challenges of Covid, with rising costs and recruitment pressures, is a significant achievement and a blessing. Every member of staff played their part in delivering this magic, but the three most exceptional were: Mostafa the Front Office Manager, Mimouni Youssef the Chief Concierge and Prima at the Sultanah. And of course, hugely impressed that Zenna and Edcel at the spa and Yussef, the doorman who is now at Al Bandar all remembered us after such a long time! ********************************* First the one from 2007: Pure Magic! The Al Husn at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah resort in Muscat, Oman was always fabulous – luxurious accommodation in a stunning setting, located on the beach against breath-taking cliffs. But until now, service was a problem. This is no longer the case – it seems as if the new General Manager, Mr Shrestha, and his team have waved a magic wand and injected soul into the place. When management and every member of staff, whether at the resort’s extensive range of restaurants, at the dream-world Chi Spa or on the beach, consistently anticipate guests’ every need and deliver a truly memorable experience, then you have the perfect blend for a perfect holiday.
