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.).

South AfricaVery limited parking is avaliable in front of the inn. However, the large public parking area is a 3-4 minute walk.
The staff are very, very helpful and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and very well maintained. The cleanliness is one of the best I've experienced in Oman thus far. It was also the most comfortable bed. It is important to enquire about the bathroom prior to booking because some rooms have a bathroom located outside of the actual room. The proximity to the fort and local souq adds to the allure of the place. Not forgetting the in-house artist whose amazing work is on exhibition in the foyer.

United KingdomStayed here for a week, and honestly, it's one of the best hotels we've stayed in! Ahmed and the staff were wonderful. The hotel is in a prime location! The room was spacious with all the amenities you needed and a lovley view of the fort. Staff greeted you whenever you left or entered the hotel, and Ahmed was really good at communicating via WhatsApp. Some bonus things we did not expect was for our finaly 2 nights, we got a free room upgrade 😊 and we enquired about slippers due to our first room having an external bathroom and Ahmed went out of his way to buy us some and provide them for free! They even had a few cute kitties roaming about 🥰 I highly recommend staying here!!!

SpainThe shower and bathroom are all in one which I find a bit uncomfortable since everything stays wet. The bathroom had an unpleasant smell as well.
It was literally in front of the fort and 1 min away from the Souq, perfect location. We were also lucky to find parking right in front, but if not you have more space to park just 2 min away. The people working at the hotel were lovely and overall it was a comfortable stay.

PolandStrange smell in the bathroom, might be strong chemicals used to clean and desinfect. No proper shower but, like everywhere else you shower on the toilet. No breakfast option, they have a restaurant (Tamrah) on the ground floor and on the roof top, but it is "a la carte" and very expensive comparing to other nice restaurants. Service is polite but overwhelming for me, feels like I am in the super high-end restaurant while it's just a roof top restaurant with exceptional view on the fort but just correct food (with very few Omani dishes, rather european and at high prices).
Perfect location, very quiet at night (there is no night life going on in Nizwa), comfortable beds, warm water in the shower without waiting time (like in other places in Oman), kettle and tea set in the room, fridge, great view on the fort directly from the bed (I had room number 101). Despite no reserved parking places in front there is a free huge public parking 5 min walking from the hotel. The staff is kind, I think the owner is always around ensuring all is ok, hanging out on reception couch.

RomaniaThe shower was a bit weird and unpractical, with no shower tray. The water coming on the floor, all over. It was difficult to use the bathroom afterwards as it had the floor all wet.
The room was amazing with an extraordinary view towards the fort. Excellent location, in the heart of the town, 100 m away from the Souq. As a big plus, I recommend everyone to go and see the Al Hoota Cave. It is amazing.
