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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United Arab EmiratesThe pool would often be closed for cleaning in the morning. Pool supposed to be open at 8h30am which wasn’t always the case. With young kids I wish the pool was open earlier and always available. We had to use the other pool on the other side by reception. Just inconvenient with small kids
The warm welcome from reception staff, friendly waiters. The sea view, big bathroom with all amenities included. Clean and comfortable bed with tea and coffee station. Quiet and relaxing stay.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff are all lovely and friendly, but some need more training in their communication and customer service skills. When you are paying 700aed for a snorkelling trip with children, there is an expectation that the children will be able to participate. Instead, the watersports team were unhelpful, almost blaming us who were trying to find solutions. The manager was extremely unhelpful at the start of the trip. In the end, we enjoyed it but there was no shampoo for the goggles; things didn’t seem well organised. Also, this hotel has incredible wildlife opportunities for its guests, which should be shared more. (As we have been a lot, we are aware, but other guests clearly have no idea they are close to beautiful turtles, rays, sharks and fish) The entertainment at the weekends has also declined. There used to be a team with dancing, music, singing and performing skills, and now there is a reliance on a screen and the audience to provide the entertainment through games/karaoke. Plus, everything is in Russian, whereas before there was music in Spanish, Arabic, French, English, Russian, Portuguese. It’s a real shame.
We have been going to this hotel for the last 5 years and love its location on the water with so much marine life nearby. It’s a stunning spot.

United Arab EmiratesIf the buffet breakfast area was busy, staff were not always quick enough to clear tables for new diners or open up more sitting areas for us.
We were upgraded and given a slightly bigger corner room to best suit a family. The room was lovely and very well equipped and decorated. We had easy access to both the beach and 1 of 3 pools. The visited during on of UAE's cooler rainy days so didn't use the splash areas a much as we liked as it was a little cold. But the size of the 3 pools was very impressive. There was a lovely short promenade to walk along, great view of the sea and rocks beyond. The beach was very clean and plenty of sun beds available. We did use room service and the food provided was very tasty. The breakfast buffet offered a diverse selection of food to suit picky children - fresh fruit juices, teas & coffees, pastries, hot side dishes, omelettes, pancakes/waffles and condiments. There is much around the hotel itself, but we did find a very short and easy hike of the mountains opposite. If you have a car there are a few parts of the area you can drive through but just the usual supermarkets and roadside cafes. Kalba in Sharjah would make a good day trip. Overall, we had a lovely 3 night stay.

United Arab Emirates1) Resort has a checkin time of 3:00 pm and for us checkin was further delayed by 1 hour ,as room was not clean. So we were checked in at 4:00 pm 2)We opted for all inclusive option but this is extremely overpriced ,as the restuarant for all inclusive option has very limited menu and definately not a five star buffet. Most of the items on menu were common in Lunch and dinner Live counter had only pasta available for lunch and dinner. 3)I requested for King Bed option , staff declined telling me that if we need King Bed then room will not have a good view , (i had booked a premium room ) 4)I requested for water at the restaurant near one of the pool , staff declined stating it would open only at 11:00 am, ( it was 10:55 AM) 5)Hotel lobby is small - for a five star resort
- Resort is located in a remote area in Fujairah and our room had a balcony which very close to the beach with a very nice view - Multiple swimming pools available for adult and kids - Water Activities available for additional costs - recommend to try them - Deep sea diving available for (additional costs) - Staff was polite and helpfull , especially staff ADEL who was very kind and supportive , appreciate him sincerely

United Arab EmiratesAlthough the rooms are on the simpler side but the bathrooms can use renovation.
Despite the repetitive comments about the condition of the rooms and attitude of the staff! I can say that this is one of the best and most friendly hotel staff in all over UAE. Although it was holidays and the hotel was fully booked but the service was perfect and very quick. Special thanks to Mr. Jeff at the reception and Mr. Rami Al Bawab, whom I've seen him checking on the Hotel facilities all the time.

IndiaTowel distribution center were located far off from beach.. means it was difficult to Walk in hot sun and get towels from 1 extreme locations on the beach. Check in was too crowded and issuance of key was messy process.. on Friday 3 PM Bathroom jet spray was not effective as water force wasn't enough.. So assume the rates of AED 1800 for above check in was hurting us.
Room layout and bed.. Beach access Restaurants were good

The spa area had lack of service, the sauna in both male and female sections had no bucket of water. Steam room in the male section was not working. The worst part is having breakfast at breeze this morning with the dish washing area door is open, and not cleaned grease trap is causing stench all over the place.
