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.).

PolandI like everything :)
Remote location, small (but very well equipped) camp, so you don't feel you are in resort with a hundred people :) You have a chance to know people and spend quality time. Very friendly, helpful staff. Don't worry about coming with your 4x4 even if you are not experienced in this type of car - unless you are not experienced as a driver of any car 😉 They will help you with tyres and you are to follow the guide. Also, take a camel ride, we had sunrise, you can choose sunset. Camp highly recommended

Beautiful desert location away from the main runway and close to very nice sand dunes, room with very comfortable beds. Bathroom outside basic but satisfactory. Very good paid dinner, the best among those I had in Oman. Very nice and helpful owner.

Amazing location, super comfortable beds, delicious food, and very caring and welcoming staff! The camp is situation among the dunes and with a beautiful view. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience, and we had a really fun time getting to learn more about Oman from them. Highly, highly recommend this camp - one of the most memorable experiences of our Oman stay.

FranceNothing, just book and go 😉
It was a highlight of our all stay in Oman. Everything was just perfect. The location is amazing because it’s far from other camps and city. It’s a small camp with 5 tents so you can enjoy full silence and peace. The tent is so lovely, and you can walk from there to the dunes around to watch sunrise and sunset. Special mention to the staff. The owner, the guide and the cooks were all absolutely the best, so kind, helpful and lovely. The food was terrific, both breakfast and dinner. You can enjoy bone fire at night and watch the stars. We did the 3h tour, which was great to spot camels and learn about bedouins life. We absolutely recommend this place 🥰💯

If you hesitate about where to sleep in the desert, this is the best choice. Don't look for anything else. Great location, large, clean and comfortable tents, good food, great service and above all extraordinary host. The host is very nice, helpful and committed. You can see that he loves his job. He does everything for the guests. Great place. No scale for real evaluation. That's why "only" 10/10

GermanyIt’s a familiar camp with lovely staff. If you are lucky they will tell you about Omani culture in the evening after a wonderful dinner - and welcome you back after having gotten lost in the dunes as if you were family. You sleep in a beautiful and very clean tent with your own little bathroom (save water!) and get delicious food (7 OMR for dinner and breakfast). Please keep it personal and consider not affecting the delicate ecosystem with quads or unnecessary jeep tours or dune bashing.

NetherlandsWe stayed 1 night at the Sunrise desert camp and it was a great experience. It's one of the last camps reachable with a regular 4x4, meaning from your tent you only see the few other tents in the same camp and it's very quiet. We ordered diner and it was very delicious and way too much for the two of us. Staff is very kind and eager to help you to get the most out of your stay. You have your own private bathroom, keep in mind that showering end of the day means warm water because of the sun and early in the morning the water will be cold (not a problem for us).

United StatesThey only have 5 tents isolated from the town, which makes for a more quiet and secluded experience. Dinner was delicious and breakfast much beyond our expectations. Service was impeccable and Faiz was extremely attentive, nice and polite. He truly cares for every single guest and makes sure that you have all that you need. He even stopped to show us a couple of baby camels on our way back to town.

EstoniaFar away lights of Bidiya and some other camps affected a bit the possibility to enjoy the night-sky in its full beauty. Also the air traffic goes over the desert. So these very the few distractions, and much cant be done about it. Its probably the same in many camps in the area unless being somewhere in a deep desert.
Beautiful small camp in the middle of Wahiba tunes, no other camps in sight. Amazing encounters with wild camels. Friendly staff and very tasty food. We were well taken care of.

PolandEverything is perfect. Clean and comfortable tents each with its own terrace. Nice eating/meeting area. Meals delicious and not expensive. Big dunes all around you. The host is very friendly and helpful and can organize each desert activity. You definitely need 4WD to get there with your own car and it's a good fun as the 'road' goes through the dunes and deep sand and you do it following the host's car.

Czech RepublicWe enjoyed the accommodation, it met our expectations.
A great experience is spending the night in the desert. It is not a cheap hotel, accommodation in the desert is different. Accommodation is private, not disturbed by other guests. A perfect experience is the possibility of a walk on the nearby dunes. You can watch the sunset or sunrise from the dunes. Everything is quiet, relaxing, comfortable. The accommodation is comfortable, convenient, with its own shower.

Czech RepublicWe had an amazing experience in Sunrise Desert Local Private Camp. Can only recommend it! We were completely alone and deep to the Wahiba desert, not like in other big resorts. The stuff is really kind and friendly. You will get delicious and rich dinner and breakfast, that you won't be able to finish. The tent you'll get is really cozy and the beds comfortable. Camel ride and dune bashing were an unforgetable experience.

United StatesNestled atop a high ridge, this gem of a desert camp stands as a testament to unparalleled serenity and natural beauty. The location alone seems to have been handpicked by the desert gods themselves, offering an awe-inspiring panoramic view that captures the essence of the desert's magnificence. The sunrise and sunset views from this camp are simply breathtaking. Witnessing the sun's ascent and descent over the endless dunes is an experience that etches itself into memory. As night falls, the campfire ignites, and the sky is painted with stars, providing an intimate setting to share stories and soak in the tranquility of the desert night. The tents, surprisingly spacious, offer a blend of comfort and authenticity. The beds invite you into a cocoon of relaxation after a day of desert exploration. The private bathroom facilities are more than adequate. Faiz, the gracious host, embodies hospitality in its truest form. His good nature, warmth and eagerness to ensure each guest experiences the desert's magic are commendable. From arranging excursions to sharing insights about the locale, his passion for creating memorable experiences shines through. And then there's Basheer, the camp's culinary maestro. His mastery in preparing simple yet authentic Omani cuisine rounds out the experience. In essence, this desert camp is a haven for those seeking an authentic and enriching desert experience. With Faiz's hospitality and Basheer's culinary prowess, it's not just a stay; it's an immersive cultural adventure amidst the mesmerizing dunes.

The tent was original and traditional yet has all the facilities and basic needs such as clean bedding, fan, terrace in front of of the tent to sit and watch the starts at night. The camp offers a lot of activities, dune bashing , quads, camel rides. The host Faiz waited for us on time at the meeting point and offered the best hospitality on camp. The camp is located in a quiet secluded place between the beautiful dunes and they only have 5 tents which makes the place very exclusive. It’s good value for money and it is highly recommended
