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 StatesStaying at Qasr Al Sarab isn't just a quick getaway—it's an unforgettable experience that immerses you in the culture and history of Abu Dhabi and the essence of desert life. Beyond the fantastic facilities, delicious food, and exciting activities, the true standout of the resort is its amazing staff. A huge shoutout to the hospitable and friendly team who made our stay truly extraordinary, including Sweekrit from the luggage service, Faran from the Dune Bashing activity, Rahul from customer service, and so many more!

United Arab EmiratesService at key points of the stay. Luggage took more than 30 minutes to arrive in room, only arriving after a phone call and a trip to the front desk. Check out was very slow and mistake with billing meant a further delay.
Great breakfast. Friendly welcome and check in. Loved both of the pools Views were amazing. Bed was super comfy. Loved the reusable water bottles.

PortugalWe were uncomfortable with the fact that the receptionist tried to inquire about personal details of our family — asking who is the mother, who are the children, who is related to whom. It’s inappropriate for someone outside the family to refer to a young woman as the “mother” of children she is not the parent of. Additionally, commenting on the countries we come from felt intrusive. We are a multicultural family, and while we understand that people may be curious, pointing out where each of us is from is, at best, unnecessary and, at worst, uncomfortable. These are private matters that shouldn’t be discussed in a professional hotel setting. We were also disappointed that, upon arriving at our room, we had to wait around 40 minutes for our luggage to be delivered from the reception. We called twice to follow up and ask for assistance, but the delay remained. Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration.
The place itself, the hotel, the design of the spaces—down to the smallest details like the pillows and the keepsake bracelets—these things are simply stunning!

United Arab EmiratesThe poolside (Ghadeer) restaurant's asian food is not up to scratch, compared to all the other fantastic food we ate. I feel a lot of the optional activities are priced very high, but I guess that comes with literally being stuck in the middle of nowhere and being a captive audience ha ha.
The resort itself is beautiful, a good balance of tasteful design and opulence whilst retaining warmth and comfort. There is a great variety of amenities, facilities and activities. All the staff are super attentive, welcoming and professional and unlike most of the UAE, you can chat with all the staff as equals - nobody is shy or nervous. The rooms are brilliant with well-stocked bathrooms.

United Arab EmiratesI just wanted to share that everything went absolutely smoothly—nothing went wrong at all. From start to finish, every detail fell into place seamlessly. The planning, execution, and overall experience were flawless, with no setbacks or unexpected issues. Seeing everything run so efficiently was truly refreshing, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and I appreciate everyone’s efforts in making it happen. Looking forward to more experiences like this in the future!
I just had the most extraordinary experience at Qasr Al Sarab, and I can't contain my enthusiasm! Nestled in the heart of the Liwa Desert, this place is nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into another world—one where the golden dunes stretch endlessly, shifting colors with the sun, and the silence of the desert brings a sense of deep tranquility. The setting itself is breathtaking. Standing atop the dunes, watching the sun dip below the horizon, I was mesmerized. The desert’s vastness, combined with the sheer beauty of the resort, made every moment feel surreal. The architecture blends seamlessly with the surroundings, giving the impression of a timeless oasis rising from the sand. But what stood out the most was the night sky. With no city lights around, the stars felt closer than ever, creating a celestial spectacle I’ll never forget. The hospitality was exceptional. From the warm welcome to the incredible cuisine, every detail was thoughtfully curated to provide an authentic yet luxurious experience. Sitting around a fire under the desert sky, enjoying traditional Emirati flavors, I felt completely immersed in the spirit of the place. Qasr Al Sarab is more than just a resort—it’s an experience that awakens the senses and leaves an imprint on the soul. I can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unparalleled escape into the desert’s magic!

SingaporeNothing. It was perfect! Should have asked for a room further away from the main building as we could smell and hear sounds from the kitchen on our terrace.
I liked that is was truly in the desert and remote which made the experience magical. What made it special was the staff. I lost my mobile phone during a dune buggy ride and when I thought all was lost, dune guide Tabish and security Bisal went into the desert the next morning and found it! It was a miracle! Thank you so much for your dedication and care shown to your guests.
