Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Indiabuffet menu is very limited, room service staff did not have fresh tea coffee options....no snack options were available in between breakfast & dinner. They really need to work on their food menu.
location is good, rooms are big nice and spacious overall vibe of the resort is nice. Treasure hunt was conducted for kids which they enjoyed a lot. Dinner buffet had good music and dance performance, it was a fun experience.

United Arab EmiratesAll the restaurants food is terrible, you don’t have much of a choice as all the restaurants seem to be connected and their pizzas are frozen pizzas. Quality food goes a long way and this is a turning point for people coming back.
Secluded and isolated desert retreat away from the noises of the city, very affordable and some fun activities

United Arab EmiratesAlthough the entrance, lobby and restaurant area looked lovely, as you made your way past those areas the rest of the hotel looked a bit outdated and needed to be renovated a bit. The pool is quite lovely, but even though it's meant to be an infinity pool, the edge of the pool just overlooks a brick path, rather than just the desert. There seemed to be a leak in our bathroom every time we used the shower.
The location was fantastic, can really see the stars at night, and have a stroll into the desert close by to the hotel. The architecture and look of the hotel was lovely, and rich in Arab tradition. Fantastic view of the desert from our window. Would've loved for there to be a balcony facing the desert. The staff were really great in accommodating my partners birthday, giving us a small cake on the house, as well as a couple of drinks on the house.

United Arab EmiratesIt’s not the desert resort in the way we can imagine it, as there are no huge dunes around, and you can see construction sites around. Food is simple and poor. Electricity in the hotel doesn’t work well. Once you switch off the lites, you can’t switch on the light in bathroom and can’t charge the phone during the night. Some electrician mistake.
After rennovation the hotel has become cleaner and nicer

United Arab EmiratesAll the flies and the fact that Tilal Liwa Hotel will be closing their doors in the end of December! That is devastating!
The staff at Tilal Liwa Hotel are magical. We have been coming there for the past 10 years and we never get disappointed in the staff and the peace and calmness that the hotel brings. Special thanx to: Lama and Cons, Ajith in the restaurant together with all the amazing chef Muhammed. And also Ahmed and Lahiro in the pool bar!!

United Arab EmiratesThere wasn't an attendant at the pool. We had to keep asking the lifeguard to call a service attendant to order drinks at the bar. The reception at the sauna area was always empty, and nobody around to turn on the steam room.
The location was beautiful. The food was good and they had a nice selection of drinks. It's a lovely place for a weekend getaway from Abu Dhabi since the roads barely have traffic and the speed limit is 160 for most of the way.
