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.).

OmanI was disappointed that our morning guide wasn’t really paying attention to people disrespecting the turtles. People were walking all over the beach not staying with the guide. The guide didn’t stop them.

United StatesCame for the turtle excursions and got to see nesting turtles during both the night and predawn trips. Room was more than adequate with good AC and a fridge for water. Included breakfast was fine but the dinner buffet was in no way worth the 12 Omani rial (about 31 USD) each charged. Captive audience. Don’t miss the beach area. Absolutely stunning geology and scenery. Serious rip tide though so be careful.

MalaysiaThe price was quite steep for what we experienced. We had hoped to see turtles at night, but unfortunately, despite waiting for nearly three hours, none appeared. While we understand that it's ultimately up to the turtles whether they show up or not, it would have been less disappointing if the resort could adjust the room rates slightly to reflect the experience coz the room we stayed in was very basic without nice views. So it was not worth it paying that much just for the room.
Parking was easy. We loved the beautiful beach near the resort. And the night sky was amazing.

ItalyBreakfast can be improved upon. More importantly, in lack of the turtles the guides could do a better job in sharing the story of the place and lives of the turtles and other animals which can be found / seen in the area (from fishes to birds).
Beautiful natural reserve. Unfortunately due to the season we did not see the turtles on the beach (other people were luckier in previous days). Still the beach was beautiful! On the food side the dinner was exceptional in terms of quality and quantity of the buffet, the chef even catered for by gluten and diary intolerances….
