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.).

United KingdomThe nearest Metro station is the DECC, but it is not very close to the hotel. Taxis are reasonably priced though. We would not stay in West Bay again. We would choose the Corniche area next time because there is more going on there and it's closer to Souq Waqif. The room was large with nice views but a little dated and the shower floor needs attention. It constantly flooded. The restaurant food was good but not great, we preferred to eat out and skipped a breakfast and an evening meal despite having booked half board for 4 nights.
The staff were very polite and accommodating (especially at breakfast). We thought they were exceptional, the best thing about the hotel. There is a good gym but the pool closes a bit early we wanted to use it in the early evening (after a day sightseeing) and it was closed.

RussiaThese are minor details that didn’t ruin the experience, but could be improved: • Dirty windows made it harder to enjoy the beautiful view. • Weak water pressure in the handheld shower (though the rain shower and bathtub shower were fine). • Water leaked onto the bathroom floor while showering, despite the glass partition and borders. • Jacuzzi was warm, but the massage function didn’t work. • Saunas were mostly turned off and unavailable.
• Excellent location – close to everything you might need, with easy access to local attractions. • Breathtaking views – especially the panoramic sea view, which creates a truly relaxing atmosphere. • Outstanding breakfast – varied, fresh, and very delicious; one of the best we’ve had in hotels. • Attentive and friendly staff – always ready to help and genuinely care about guests’ comfort. • Great service overall – smooth check-in/check-out, quick responses to any requests. • Modern renovation – the rooms are stylish, clean, and well-maintained. • Good infrastructure – elevators, pool, fitness area, and spa zone are all available. • Comfortable bed and quiet room – ideal for a restful stay. • Access to a private beach – with free sunbeds, umbrellas, and towels, making beach days very convenient and enjoyable.

IndiaCleanliness of window facade, it was pretty dirty on the outside.
The property is located in a central upscale part of the town, transfers to the airport take around 20 minutes with cabs available all around the clock. The staff were very courteous (10/10) and were very accommodative for an early check in. The rooms are mint new, food was also delectable. Overall a very recommended option to stay.

United KingdomI didn’t get to use the pool so I cannot comment on that and the jacuzzi was out of order at the time. Tip The guests are more conservative here so dress more modestly here or you will stand out.
Beautiful hotel I was upgraded to a beautiful high floor sea view which I loved looking out to in the morning. This is a place to visit in Qatar with its own private beach. It was beautiful and sandy and nice shallow water and easy to get a sun bed which makes a change! In terms of the hotel -breakfast was my favourite. You can have different eggs to order, lots of fresh bakery items the little pancakes and chocolate fountain at breakfast was extravagant. Very busy but always a table. I particularly enjoyed using the spa facilities for different style massages. I also like that we were about 10 mins walk from the nearest shopping mall which has decent shops.

SwitzerlandSome finishing touches in the room looked a bit rushed, probably explained by pressure to complete the hotel in time for the World cup. My guess is that this is no dissimilar from other hotels completed around the same time.
Good location within Doha, direct access to the beach (just across the street), large bedroom, nice sea view, well equipped gym, outstanding breakfast buffet with lots of choices, both sweet and savoury. I notably liked the florentine eggs (and the egg station manned by Patrick), Manakish, labné and the delicious saffron ice cream.

LithuaniaThe hotel is well located, with the beach just across the road. Guests receive free beach vouchers. The beach is clean. A large mall is only a 5-minute walk away. Spacious rooms, clean and pleasant. Friendly staff, and the breakfast is outstanding. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

United KingdomGetting a cup of coffee at breakfast was always really slow as its made fresh for the whole restaurant. A coffee machine that you could serve yourself would be a great advantage.
Hotel was across the road from beach and easy walking distance to The Mall. Bedroom was a good size and kept spotlessly clean, nice bathroom with plenty of hot water and large towels. Breakfast had a lot of choices and table clearance quick.
