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.).

JapanThe room, living area, and bathroom were all very clean and comfortable, but what truly made the experience special was the host’s hospitality and the warmth of the people there. The host even let me work late at night in the living room—despite the fact that it’s where he sleeps—and he offered me ice cream too! I was so impressed by his hospitality and professionalism. I honestly wish I could have stayed longer. I would love to come back to Muscat just to stay here again. Thank you so much!

New ZealandLess than perfect is the location. Altho there are shops nearby an Uber was needed to get anywhere else of interest. I didn't use the bus systems.
From the moment I arrived I was made to feel really at home. The kitchen facilities are great, with lots provided.. I was even given a meal when I arrived, tho this is not to be expected. The atmosphere is relaxed and accepting. The women's dorm room spacious & cool with attached bathroom. I appreciated the curtain for my lower bunk bed and had the best sleeps. Great experience exploring Muscat with other inmates. Tho fiercly hot outside it was cool inside throughout. Can't praise I highly enough! Thanks for a wonderful home in Muscat. Speaking of which - lots of puss-cats in Muscat and a couple of mus-kittens were born at the hostel.

JapanMy bed (upper-bed) was just below the airconditionar and it was freezing. I was given a thick blanket when I checked in and I was curious why, but later I found it. I felt like I could catch a cold but I understand the onwer tried to solve the problem.
The owner is nice, the common space is cozy and comfortable.

New ZealandLegacy Hostel is a great place for a backpacker visiting Muscat on a budget. In the summer months it was an oasis to walk into and feel the strong AC to give you a break from the heat. Beds were comfortable. Lou at the front desk was super welcoming and helpful, answered any questions about things to do and places to visit. I would definitely recommend to any traveller!

Very spacious, very clean, the gentleman who works there can tell the history of Oman like a tour guide and helps with transportation and food. We can say that a place close to most locations can be stayed for months, summers are cold and winters are hot.

- Lou (Gasmilouay) is perhaps the best hostel manager I have ever met in my travels over 90 countries. He is helpful not only in taking care of your needs while at the hostel but also arranges tours/ taxis for you/ guides you well. - clean hostel with every amenity possible including mineral water dispenser that you can use to fill your bottles up for the day.

I had a wonderful stay at Heritage Hostel! The place was very clean, and the atmosphere felt just like home from the moment I arrived. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time, which made my trip so much more enjoyable. The owner was incredibly helpful and kind, always available to assist or offer suggestions. One of the best parts of my stay was the friendly, welcoming environment—I made many good friends during my time there, and it really enhanced the experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon and would highly recommend Heritage Hostel to anyone looking for a warm, safe, and social place to stay.

FranceEveryone at the hostel, from staff to other guests, was friendly and accommodating. The room and bathroom were kept very clean and the bunk beds were cozy (I found them quite comfortable, I like a good firm mattress). Communication with the owner and manager was easy before and during our stay, and we shared some meals and engaging conversations with our host and the other guests. Easy and cheap to take a taxi out for sightseeing/restaurants/etc., and I liked being a quiet neighborhood. In short, this was the perfect place for 5 friends to stay while exploring Muscat for a couple days.
