How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe were a group of 3 travelling in Jordan and decided to stay at Al Bustan Guesthouse. Our stay was excellent! The host Mohammad was extremely nice and very communicative, and helped us with anything we needed. The rooms are comfortable and the view from the balcony is sublime, overlooking the ancient ruins and the green valleys of northern Jordan. Next time in Um Qais, we will definitely be coming back to Al Bustan. Thank you Mohammad!

Verified reviewIt was a truly amazing experience in an impeccably clean, beautifully furnished house. The house is spacious and well-equipped whereas the panorama is breathtaking both in the morning and evening. The archeological park is literally next door and also visible from the house. Our host was always very helpful and flexible during our stay. The breakfast was fantastic on the terrace, however, the real highlight was the home-cooked dinner - we had the best mansaf of our life, accompanied by delicious side dishes. We will surely be back in the future!

Verified reviewGreat location, 10 minute walk to the Roman ruins. Fantastic views of the ruins and the surrounding countryside from the large balcony. Extremely clean and had everything you would need. Walked 20 minutes at night to a great restaurant, Yamama (5 minutes by car). Had a good breakfast as an extra, but at 5 JOD each we thought slightly pricey.

Verified reviewWe had an absolutely wonderful stay! The apartment offers a gorgeous view of the old town and breathtaking surrounding landscapes—truly a picture-perfect setting. Rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. Morning provided us with an astonishing breakfast spread, full of fresh, delicious options. The spectacular views from both the rooms and the terrace area made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, beauty and Jordan hospitality!

Verified reviewThis is a wonderful corner of Umm Qais. The host welcomed us warmly and offered us wonderful hospitality. The location is very quiet and has a stunning view of the archaeological site. We had a wonderful dinner prepared by Umm Mohammed, which was locally made and very delicious. The photos on the booking site do not do it justice. The reality is even more beautiful. The terrace in the morning with the sound of the birds was wonderful, along with the view. I highly recommend booking breakfast, it was delicious.

Verified reviewBeit Al Bustan was a breath of fresh air after a long day in the sun. Mohammed was a wonderful host, providing delicious meals prepared with local ingredients, accommodating last-minute reservations, and providing an overall wonderful experience. I was very pleased with my experience, as my friends and I enjoyed a homemade meal with a stunning panoramic view, giving us an unforgettable experience. It's such a beautiful place that I felt like abandoning all my plans and staying here for the rest of the summer.

Verified reviewAmazing appartment located in the heart of Um Qais surrounded by scenic nature. Area is full of peace and tranquility. Um Mohamad is a star chef and provided us with the most authentic local cousine including the ever best tasting maklouba and mansaf.. The parents of Muhammad are super nice and treated us as members of their own family. His father knows the whole history of the area and our trip with him was beyond expectations. Highly recommended.

Verified reviewThe views from the balcony are stunning! Mo and his family were very welcoming. The apartment is large, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen seems well equipped with a large table and chairs. The living room is traditional with cushions to sit on but no chairs. Breakfast was lovely and all home made by Mos mother. Lots of nice Jordanian tea and also coffee. I had a bit of a cough and Mo brought me a natural remedy that seemed to help. It's a bit noisy from the apartment below at night so bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise like I am. My earplugs worked great and I slept really well.
The shower in one of the bathrooms had no pressure but the second bathroom was fine so it wasn't an issue. Be prepared to be asked to leave a review from the minute you arrive until you actually do it.
