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.).

KuwaitWe had an amazing stay at this villa! The host was incredibly friendly and generous, offering us the entire villa, which was clean and well-equipped with all the basic amenities. The spacious backyard was perfect for stargazing, BBQs, and campfires. A 40-minute drive to the balcony walk offered stunning views. The host also took us on a thrilling 4x4 trip to Wadi Nakhr for an additional cost, which was unforgettable. He recommended some fantastic local restaurants, where we had the best meal of our trip. Highly recommend!

United KingdomI couldn't figure out how to work the heating system in the living room, so it was quite cold. A dining table with western tables and chairs would be welcome, although eating on the living room floor was an authentic experience, I suppose. There's no WiFi or internet data signal out here, so be prepared to find old-school ways of entertaining yourselves at night. It's not Ali's fault - no one out here has internet access at home!
The location's proximity to the Jebel Shams balcony walk was wonderful, and the greatest attraction to the property. The house has three separate rooms with bathrooms, a large living room and a well-appointed kitchen. Outside are seating areas, a BBQ pit, and a swing set. There is space enough inside the gate to park three buses! Host Ali was very communicative and informative, in frequent communication by phone. He also left plenty of bottled water for us to use - I would recommend using it to cook because the tap water, while safe, tastes funny. The day we arrived construction work was being done on the road leading down to the house, making it inaccessible by car. Ali arranged to have his cousin waiting for us upon arrival to assist with getting our things around the job site. It worked out fine.
