Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

NorwayThe regulation of the aircondition was limited, the fan was either on or off, subtle regulation was impossible. It was not a dissaster, but it could be better. Once or twice I had to stand up in the midle of the night and turn the fan on or off. Gluten free bread for breakfast would be appriciated, but I noticed that the avalability og gluten free diet and knowledge about coeliac dissease in the UAE is not on the same level as it is in Europe.
This time It was already my 3rd visit to Dubai and I chose this hotel becasuse of its situation close to Dubai Creek and the hostorical center with its famous markets. The conditions for cancellation (if needend) before arrival were also generous. The situation is excellent, close to the metro station Al Ghubaiba and the bus terminal of the same name. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of my room, it was really large, I cant remember I had had such a large hotel room before. Everything was clean, the room service did a good job. The staff was nice and helpfull, especially the main manager Jyoti, a young lady, obviously very busy making the stay as pleasant as possible for every guests. She asked me about my needs several times a day and she was really willing to help. The berakfast was good, gluten free bread was not available but it was compensated by wide choice of other food. Wi-fi conncetion was fast and stable. It took only about 30 minutes by bus to get to good beaches.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the pool was under maintenance when we first arrived, so we missed most of the pool days. Shame really as they have a lovely rooftop pool with warm water. My grand daughter loved it.
Family room was just right, cleaning staff did great cleaning every day. Concierge very helpful with advise and directions of where to go. Management staff very polite

SpainAlthough the toilet was clean the refurbishing looked a little mismatched, mixing old facilities with new ones. For example the shower faucets were new but the bath tub looked dated. I enjoyed being in Bur Dubai, which is the traditional part of the city, but if you are looking for fancy skyscrappers, it's better you look in Dubai Marina or elsewhere.
Great location, at walking distance from Al Ghubaiba bus station. There is also a bus stop nearby or you can walk to Sharaf metro station. The room was very spacious, with a dining room tablewith four chairs. Wifi worked well. The mattress was very comfortable.

AustraliaThere are only drawback that I want to bring to attention: 1) Not enough Lighting in the room - Lighting can be improved 2) Breakfast - Breakfast is a bit expensive compared to the other restaurants near by.
Gateway Hotel is located in Old Dubai. Fairly close to Gold and spice souk. We liked our stay as it is was definately value for money. I would recommend this place for big families who are keen on visiting Dubai as a tourist
