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.).

FranceNothing, everything was perfect and I’m very grateful 🥰
As a female solo traveler, I had a very very good experience at Legacy Hostel. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful and the bedrooms and beds are really comfortable. You will feel safe, the host Zouhaier will make you feel at home. If you need anything, he will do everything he can to help. They also arrange touristic tours to the main touristic areas at very affordable prices, so this is really convenient when your time is limited, you get to see everything. I took many tours and loved all of them. This really was one of my best experiences in a hostel. Thank you very much Legacy Hostel, I will come back without any hesitation on my next visit to Oman !

SloveniaStaying in this hostel was the best thing that could happen in my trip to Oman. The owner Zouhaier is so welcoming and goes out of his way to help you make the most out of your experience. He helped us form a travel plan for our whole stay, recommended places, even drove us around and shared so much about Omani culture. His passion for connecting people and cultures creates a really good atmosphere between guests and I was able to meet so many great people in the common areas such as kitchen, living room and a sunny terrace, which are all very cozy and perfect for relaxing. This is more than a hostel, it's an experience! There was a miscommunication issue with Booking.com but the hostel accommodated us in the middle of the night and made sure we woke up to a good cup of coffee.

NetherlandsStaying at Legacy Hostel in Muscat was hands down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! Whether you're a solo traveler or with friends, Zouhaire, the owner, will make sure you have an unforgettable stay. Forget the hotels, go for the full experience with Zouhaire at Legacy. From the moment you arrive, you feel at home. Zouhaire goes above and beyond—organizing outings, giving the best local recommendations, and making sure everyone feels welcome. His energy and kindness are unmatched, and he truly cares about every guest. The hostel itself is clean, cozy, and perfectly located, but what makes it special is the community Zouhaire creates. You don’t just stay here—you become part of a family and you will not want to leave. If you're in Muscat, this is THE place to stay!

SwitzerlandI had a fantastic stay at Legacy Hostel! Zouhaier, the host, was incredibly kind and supportive throughout my time in Muscat. He organized group gatherings to the desert and Souk and also arranged a taxi for my airport transfer. The hostel had a great social vibe, with free dates, coffee, and tea always available. Everything was clean, and the staff was super helpful. It truly felt like home, and I would definitely come back!

Super friendly and welcoming staff. Both the dormitories and public spaces are spacious and very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and clean too. Great Omani coffee, dates and typical sweets are available at all times in the lounge, which is cosy and confortable. The owner is very kind and helpful, can advise and support on excursions, getting souvenirs and just feel at home! Rates are super convenient. Great experience in my 3 days stay!

DenmarkNothing. Everything was perfect. My only regret was not staying longer.
The people (!!!). Comfortable beds. Great bathroom. Warm shower. Cozy common space both indoor and outdoor. Nice fully-equipped kitchen. Quiet neighbourhood. Walking distance to supermarkets and food. Zouhaier and his nephew Louay are the friendliest people you can imagine. They make you feel like a family member from the moment you arrive. I have stayed in +100 hostels and never experienced this amount of warmth generosity before. I would go back to Oman just for staying here again.

The owner is the best. Very kind and Generous. He could even pick you up from the airport (for only small money) and also help you get a sim card or rent a car with the best deal through his connection and even drop you from place to place even free! Lots of food and snacks are also available there for free or cheap. Amazing people all super friendly and helpful. I came there alone for the first time, made new friends, rented a car together, and had lots of amazing adventures. I 100% recommend it

SloveniaSuch a nice hostel in Muscat, Zouhair, the owner really makes you feel like part of the family and will always try to help :) he came to pick me up at the airport and also dropped me off, which was so kind of him. There’s a nice spacious living room for socializing - always providing dates and other snacks! The hostel is situated in a nice area, with a big supermarket nearby, and just about 15min drive to the airport and the old town. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again soon! ☺️

GermanyZouhair treats you like family, not just a guest! He is more than helpful, even without you having to ask! Making friends at the hostel was also easy, thanks to the nice front yard, and cozy living room (that occasionally welcomes a friendly neighbourhood cat 😂). Location is good, 10 minutes drive to the beautiful Qurum beach, 5 minutes walk to restaurants and supermarkets. The female dorm room has an en-suite bathroom and shower, and cabinets with keys to keep your things safe.
