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...).

Czech RepublicThe accommodation by itself is cheap, the other services makes it expensive. We payed 13 for accommodation, 10 for pickup, 10 per person for half an hour and for dinner and breakfast also 10 per person. We end up paying 63 OMR for whole stay for two people. But I don't want to complain about it too much, touristy activities always cost a lot of money and for the service provided in the middle of the desert it is acceptable.
The accomodation by itself is soo beautiful, you stay in the middle of desert, tents are nice, clean and bed are comfortable, there is a common chilling place with tea, coffee and fruits. You have your private bathroom (very simple, but I mean, you ar in the desert!). There are camels around. We used a pickup service and then we rent quads, which was amazing and quite adrenalin experience. We also have dinner and breakfast there. The dinner was huge, there was a lot of chicken and goat meat rice, vegetable, hummus, fries and bread. Breakfast was more simple, egg omellete and toasts, but enough.

Czech RepublicI suggest that solar heaters are placed over the showers. For a cheap investment, the comfort would be much higher. I was little bit disappointed when after returning from desert with our car, that air pumping of wheels back to street-legal pressure cost us 2 rials extra for 2 min work. Dune bashing adventure was rather timid and effectively short.
Excellent place, excellent stay, excellent adventure. I was a little bit afraid of advertised private toilet and bathroom in the desert, but i was pleasantly surprised. The solution is nice, safe, private and still adventurous :)

RussiaA beautiful place in the heart of the desert, offering a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive, ensuring that our breakfast and dinner were perfectly arranged as requested. The linens and towels were spotless, and having a private bathroom in such a remote location was a fantastic convenience. A truly special and relaxing experience!

NetherlandsThe prices for trips and breakfast/dinner are too high. Should be more clear about the cost of taking and bringing back by car and the cost per tent.
It was super cool to be in the desert. Not too much comfort, but that suits being in the dessert.
