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...).

AustraliaOnly one downside for me was the mosquitoes. Maybe some electronic mosquito repellents would help. I was eaten just sitting in the common area.
The location is great, close to the airport and there are plenty of restaurants and a well stocked grocery store nearby. The atmosphere in the hostel is also really nice and quite social. I was travelling by bike and was able to safely lock my bike in the courtyard, I was also able to wash my bike and bike bags on my return. Very helpful staff/volunteers. It's still a standard hostel with sqeaky metal bunk beds, but very clean in all areas.

HungaryOnly 2 toilets so you often have to wait.
Hostel is nice, great value for price. Staff are nice, the manager's brother even gave me a short tour of Mutrah, that was super cool and unexpected. They let me chill in the common area before checking in because I arrived early, thanks a lot for that. Location is good, bus stop is at walking distance, so it's easy to reach the airport and other areas of Masqat.

Easy to reach from the airport by bus A1. Located near by one of the main bus station, so it's easy to travel around. Big common area, and kitchen opened 24h. Free coffee and tea. Very good atmosphere, and helpful workers. The place is surrounded by restaurants, shops, and a big supermarket where you can also find an exchange money.

United StatesOne thing I would change is perhaps more explanations on how to check in. I was a little disoriented from the heat and ended up sitting outside waiting for the host to explain what to do. Just go inside and they will help you :)
I loved the location and how close it was to the airport. It had AC and everything. Overall my experience was amazing and I don't really have complaints. There is a convenience store around the corner and good food alongside it
