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.).

SwitzerlandWhile waiting for our car in the entrance lobby we saw a senior staff member loudly scolding a doorman for not smiling or greeting guests enough. The tone was harsh and the public setting left the young worker—whom we actually found attentive and professional—looking very embarrassed in front of colleagues and guests.
We were initially worried that the place might feel a bit outdated, but the wonderful staff and good management make this hotel a beautiful and comfortable choice. Our stay was very enjoyable, and the breakfast is a dream. The hotel also offers interesting restaurant options, which we found practical.

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Emirates Palace, and it was absolutely perfect. From the stunning architecture to the impeccable service and breathtaking views, every detail made our special day unforgettable. A true dream experience.

KuwaitVery slow service. I ordered an iron they brought it after 2 hours. Also once i came to my room the power was off and i couldn’t enter the room. I called the operator (from my sisters room) the person i talked to did not understand. Then a worker came by after a while and told me that i should call the operator (again) and inform her to raise a request as there was no request in the system.
Very nice facilities the rooms, pools, lobby are beautiful. Clean rooms and nice employees

IraqThere’s nothing I would say I strongly dislike, but I would like to share a note with management. As someone with extensive experience in hospitality around the world, I can confidently say that the UAE sets one of the highest standards globally for customer service especially at a landmark like emirates palace, which carries a prestigious name and reputation. However, during this visit despite having stayed here many times before i was quite disappointed with the front desk experience. The staff member who handled my check-in was notably unwelcoming, unhelpful, and inconsistent in her communication. She even seemed unfamiliar with the standard check-in protocol expected at the Palace. There was no warm greeting, no proper introduction, and unfortunately, a noticeable language barrier that made the interaction more difficult, as her English was often unclear or out of context. Please, don’t allow the high standards associated with this property to slip. The emirates palace should remain a benchmark for excellence, not just in its facilities but in its service as well.
Its a magical place.. i have been here many times and each time i leave with the same impression

FranceNot a frequent traveller by any means but I've stayed at some very nice locations and The Emirates Palace is easily my favourite so far. The building, the beach, the pool, the restaurants and exceptional staff. 10/10 absolutely no doubt. The concierge team helped with me quite complex plans ahead of time and executed everything perfectly.

AustriaThe EP is not the same now compared to the time under Kempinski management: > service and maintainance standard > lack of management attention > aggressiv sale of pool memberships to non hotel guests > it is a holiday location now, not a business or locals venue
The EP is still a good place to be, this because of: > room size and style > quality of the restaurants > beach and pool areas > overall building experience > friendly staff
