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...).

United KingdomThis was an exceptional experience spearheaded by the host Rashid. He was a kind, generous and humerous host, ensuring all guests were comfortable and happy. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and we really enjoyed chatting with him. Dinner and breakfast exceeded our expectations, the food was delicious and plentiful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with private bathrooms including showers. There were lots of options for additional excursions but we never felt pressured to do any. We only had a 2WD and the meeting point and transfer to the camp was smooth and Rashid was quick to reply to questions in advance. I highly recommend staying with Rashid and I would definitely stay again.

CanadaCan't think of anything.
I had this place and a couple others camps down to the wire, on which place I should stay at, in the end I chose this place. Once experiencing it I was happy with my decision. You get a more private experience at this place compared to others as there are are less tents and people, this goes a long way and you won't see this in the description or know this until you are there. Rashid goes out of his way to make your stay very enjoyable, like a true Omani. The other bonus that this place has over others is that its at the top of some of the highest dunes you can stay at; which is good because their is less dune climbing for you. PLUS driving up to the tents is so much fun in the rental (its not hard, just keep your momentum). Dune bashing was amazing and same with the camel ride. Thanks again Rashid.

United Kingdom- Slightly mouldy smell in our tent during our first night, probably due to the rain the previous night. As rain is very rare, this should not be a frequent issue
- Rashid is an amazingly welcoming host and great entertainer - Activities organised by the camp include dune bashing, camel riding, desert safari, and more - Food is tasty and plentiful

BelgiumThat I couldn’t stay longer in Oman to spend an extra night there 😜 No really, nothing I disliked.
One of our best nights in Oman. The tent we had was very big, the bed comfortably and I had the best night of sleep there. The dinner and breakfast are very tasty. Great dunes for watching sunrise & sunset. Rachid is an exceptional host. He will make you feel like family. I couldn’t have wished for anything more. He had a big heart and will make sure you have a good time. Thank you so much Rashid!

It was a truly extraordinary experience :) The host Rashid is a wonderful man who fulfilled all our requests and desires. The resort is located in a charming place, in the middle of beautiful dunes, where there is peace and quiet. The resort has a whole set of attractions - whatever you dream of! We took a camel sunset trip and it will be an unforgettable experience. The food - delicious, the service - extraordinary, the place - wonderful. This is the best resort for you if you want to explore the deserts of Oman. Thank you Rashid!

MalaysiaLocation of the desert was excellent! Rashid is a fantastic host. He cares to meet us at a designated place to take us in to his camp! Both dinner and breakfast was excellent. He even offered to drive us to an excellent spot to watch sunset upon our arrival and fetch us back immediately after the sun has setted as promised!. We would definitely highly recommend friends and family to stay in his camp. We rate the location of his desert 10/10 with beautiful sand dunes around! excellent and enjoyable stay in Rashid camp with great hospitality by Rashid!

AustraliaWe loved EVERYTHING ...Rashid is the funniest, nicest guy you would ever meet. We could only drive a little of the way in our 4x4 towards Rashids camp then he had to come and rescue us. We left our rental where we stopped and went the rest of the way in Rashids landcruiser. Nothing is a problem for Rashid...he is all helpful fun and sincerely wants you to have the best time. ...which we did. Only stayed 1 night and did not want to leave. Shukran Rashid.

Rashid is an amazing host and treated us like family. His tents are spacious, well-equipped and pure luxury in a beautiful and quiet spot middle of the desert. The food was the best one we had on our trip. We had a great time with dune-bashing and learning more about camels during the early morning camel school activity with Rashid. We can’t wait to come back again!

United StatesI’ve done desert experiences in Iran, Jordan, Australia and now in Oman. This one has by far been my favorite, and one of the highlights of my Oman trip. Rashid is a lovely human being who makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Don’t miss a sunset activity like quadbiking or dunebashing.

United KingdomThe camp is good value for money. Rashid's hospitality was top notch. A friendly host who could not do enough for us. Thank you Rashid. The camp is conveniently located on the edge of the desert. Its located away from the main desert road so plenty of peace. The camps are comfortable and the sunset and sunrise views are amazing from the highest dune which was next to our tent. Rashid knows the his part of the desert like the back of his hand, we went dune bashing and he knows his stuff. The food was good. Thank you Rashid, see you soon.
