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...).

NetherlandsThis hotel is amazing, well located just on the outskirts of the city, yet close enough by taxi. Very clean accommodation and common areas, two pools + a beach within 2 minutes reach...just perfect. A special thank you to team, it's rare to come across such authentic and friendly people in such a big structure. Special thanks to Alan and Kahdem who made our stay even more comfortable.

IrelandSometime breakfast was a little chaotic. (it was mid term and the hotel was full) There wasn't enough staff on and they struggled to turn tables around quickly. Sometimes you were seated to your table and it wasn't set. They would often run out of glasses at the Juice bar. Again, this is not a criticism of the staff, they just needed more staff. Also, I didn't like to have to get up early to reserve sunbeds. I don't agree with this system.
The hotel was excellent. Super rooms! The staff were fantastic. I've never stayed in a place where the staff (special mention for Sara and her colleague at the front desk in the buffet restaurant.!!) were so helpful. Nothing was a problem form them. Hotel rooms were made up everyday. Buffet food was super and so tasty. It changed every day so yo didn't get bored.

PolandI would only recommend to pay attention to nationalities, not all guest are Russians- and assuming that polish people are is offending us. I would rather be asked where I m from? Rather then hear “spasiba”.
I have been in this hotel 2nd time therefore I knew what to expect. Hotel very helpful, supportive. Open to feedback, truly interested in guests opinion. Good breakfast, clean room. Super pool, access to the beach.

AustraliaNothing of any significance- But if it had to comment on anything at all - and only because I am a designer by profession - the rooms could be simplified. Remove the draped fabric around the 4 poster bed and the volume of silk curtains- paint the rooms white and add a few simple artifacts reminiscent of the Qatari heritage. More reminiscent of the Spa area.
Beautifully laid out complex of villas close to a beach and the Persian gulf with a series of beautiful pools and water features throughout. Rooms were spacious and clean. Each Villa /Riad had a central courtyard with garden. The effect was one of privacy, quietness and tranquility. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and did everything to make our experience a pleasant one. Whilst we originally booked the Sharq purely as a stop over and somewhere to rest between legs of our flight to Australia - it was so much more than that. I has piqued my interest now to return as a destination in itself and see some of the amazing architecture and learn more about this ancient but very modern city. The buffet breakfast and dinner service catered for every possible menu option - Taxis in Doha are so cheap it was a perfect base from which venture out daily to explore the city. I also availed myself of the Spa facilities at the - the Best Facial and manicure I have ever had - albeit expensive. I will return. And thank you to all the staff who made our visit so special.

SingaporeOnly negative was that we had to have breakfast early and 20 minutes after opening they weren’t ready to make a poached egg.
One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. Stunning property, great spa. Also some small touches that made a difference: we were shown to the room and shortly afterwards housekeeping knocked on the door to check everything was ok. Fresh fruit in the room also.

AustraliaWe could not tune into our Netflix but that was small problem with pool and grounds to amuse us.
The greatest joy of being a guest at Sharq Village is being treated like a real honoured guest. The second joy, is the spacious beauty of the low rise village architecture. Marvellously designed to evoke the traditional Qatar village and meticulously maintained with constant shelter from sun and wind. The two main pools offer a choice of swimming and lounging, top only by the beach, when the weather is just right.

SlovakiaThe staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with genuine willingness. The resort's services are excellent in every aspect. The breakfast was outstanding, with high-quality and diverse options that catered to all tastes – nothing was missing. The location of the resort is excellent, just 10 minutes from the airport and 12 minutes from Souq Waqif in the city center. There is plenty of space and sunbeds available at the pool and the beach, so you won't have trouble finding a free spot, even during the day. Cleanliness throughout the entire resort is exemplary.
