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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

RomaniaNothing really, everything was nice
The accommodation was nice, old Omani style, clean and in the heart of old Nizwa. The staff are nice, friendly and helpful. We arrived early, after a long overnight flight and 2 hours' drive. The staff allowed us to check in a couple of hours early which was great as we were exhausted and badly needed to get some rest. The accommodation has a nice swimming pool and is located beside a cool little Caffè. The breakfast, buffet style was nice and plentiful.

SwitzerlandWe liked our stay a lot. Good rooms in a very good location. Parking is a little tricky but works well, also for SUVs. You need to leave your car key there, as many cars are parked close to each other - but they manage very well. The breakfast was a highlight with many options.

PolandIn one the bathroom there were small ants (not disturbing us but worth noticing), air conditioning stopped working and breakfasts can be improved (e.g. cold omlett or scrambled eggs).
Nice hotel with a fantastic furniture, decorations an garden. Great plus is location and parking. Pool is quite small - rather to sit and cool legs than swim (water is kind of cold)..

PortugalThe pool was too dirty to get in. Which was a shame as it was one of the reasons I booked the hotel. And there was no breakfast despite I paid for it when I did the reservation. They said it was because of Ramadan, but normally all hotels still serve breakfast in the guests rooms. But this one didn't and still charged for it.
The location was perfect, right in the city center and the hotel was beautiful, in a restored traditional house.

AustraliaThe room was very small and poorly equipped: a simple closet with hangers, but no other firniture, no bedside tables or lamps etc. The bathroom is very small and inconvenient. The access to the hotel and parking is via a very narrow street unsuitable for large cars, and parking space is insufficient. Actually, it is nearly impossible to provide comfortable lodging with good amenities in such ancient houses made of mud and boulders. We selected the place mainly for its location in the old town, parking space and charming looks from outside. However, abundant free parking is available next to the old town gates and main attractions. We would have been better off staying at a comfy modern hotel nearby, a short drive from the town.
We had a nice view on a town wall and a garden; the room was quiet (few visitors during the Ramadan). We did not try the pool (very small, actually a sink to cool down or for kids to play). The personnel is nice and eager to help.
