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.).

PolandThe location of the house is absolutely incredible. The view of the sunset and sunrise is very beautiful. The house consists of three beautiful and clean rooms, a kitchen and a sitting room. It was an excellent experience. They also provided us with a wonderful Omani dinner for each person for 5 Omani riyals.

United StatesAhmed works very hard over WhatsApp to translate everything; when meeting in person, his English is limited, but he was still a kind, happy, and responsive host. His cousin Hammad is better able to help with English translations. In addition, (this is not a huge negative, it was just a failure on my attention to detail/my own assumptions), please know that the house does not have a common indoor living room space. The house consists of three separate bedrooms with doors that access the outdoor courtyard. There in an open air room with a fridge and microwave for meals. The weather was mild in April, and this did not cause us any inconvenience, I was just surprised to find the layout without an indoor common area.
The location and the hosts were definitely the highlight! The home is, in my opinion as a visitor, in the absolute perfect location (especially for the cost). Our hosts, Ahmed and his cousin Hammad, were great! The view from the house is stunning and the location is in a quaint and peaceful small village with the amazing view of the surrounding mountains and valley. Hammad was SO patient with us as we hiked; my senior parents (age 65) ended up not completing one of the hikes to a wadi due to the physical fitness that the hike demanded (about an hour "adventure" drive and an hour hike from the house); however, with positively, patience, and gentle guidance, Hammad took us to a shorter hike to a wadi with mild difficulty that my 65 year old mother was able to participate in (about 20 minutes from the house and 20 minute hike). My whole family was also able to do the very easy and very beautiful balcony walk (about 20 minutes from the house). We had a great time with our hosts. There is a small coffee shop right down the road from the house with basic snacks and essentials, but be sure to place an order with Ahmed for dinner if you would like an Omani dinner; otherwise, you will be left with very few options! Also, the road up to the house is a dirt track; we were thankful to have an SUV to climb up the dirt path. Overall, for the price, we were very happy with our choice to stay here! (A family of 5 of us split over the three bedrooms).

BelgiumWifi is via a mobile phone they leave behind. However, the mobile phone's battery was flat during the night, so there was no wifi in the morning. It's just an observation, no problem either.
The house is easy to reach by GPS. At arrival, someone was waiting for us to give the keys. There were 3 bedrooms that were simply furnished with each having its own bathroom with shower and toilet. As you are at an altitude, it cools down considerably at night, provide warm clothes. Meals were taken in another room, food was brought at 19h local time. his consisted of chicken, vegetables and rice with tea. The asset of this house is its location, it is +- 30 minutes away from Balcony walk. It is beautifully located and has the best sunrise and sunset.

United StatesBetween a group of 4 guys, we used two twin bed rooms and shared a bathroom, which makes it difficult to ration out the hot water when we have to shower one after the other. Shower heads did not stay on the wall for one of the rooms making it a bit difficult to shower.
Beautiful property with an amazing view. Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. After a 3 hour hike and dinner was provided and the best food you can have after a hike! We ended the night with an amazing stargazing experience on the rooftop. Highly recommended.
