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.).

OmanNothing. Everything is just perfect.
Location is just mesmerizing with 360 degree views of snow covered mountains. Breakfast is good with lot of options. Rooms are nice and clean with a good balcony for view but the rooms are very small. For me it was perfect because I spend most of the time outside room. Their Sauna and hot pool in the evening is a must do activity to beat the extreme chill.

United Arab EmiratesThe wifi connection was very weak In our room located on the 4th floor. There was a decent signal but keeps on disconnecting and takes 20-30mins to be able to get the connection back. Other than that, everything was fine.
We stayed during winter, so the heated pool and sauna were the perfect relaxation after spending the day snowboarding. The view outside our room was spectacular, we could view the slopes and the snowy mountains. Ski/snowboard school was jud a few meters away, you could literally wake up and hop on the boards right away ⛷️🏂 Breakfast was delicious, had a decent options to choose from. The room was comfortable and cozy as well.

United Arab EmiratesLanguage is a barrier. Food options are not at all good in taste and very expensive. As such, 1 liter lemonade cost me 6500T.. and normal dinner with pizza, pasta, and drinks costs around 26000T in nearby reputed restaurants, but taste is not atper standard.
Over all its good ski resort. Pool and sauna is good. Location is easily accessible by cable car with luggage and ski equipment. 🎿

MalaysiaOne of the ladies in the restaurant, whom I believe is a manager, had a very stern demeanor and did not attend to me when I tried to request utensils. However, the rest of the restaurant staff were incredibly kind and patient, despite the language barrier we faced. Although there's no lift in the building and carrying luggage up the stairs can be tiring, the staff are willing to assist if you request help.
Although our room lacks a balcony, it directly faces the awe-inspiring ski mountain from the fourth floor, especially on snowy days like the second day of our stay. The buffet breakfast remains the same every day but is decent enough. The sauna, which overlooks the snow-covered mountain, and the pool are definite highlights. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Additionally, you can take an electric taxi downhill for just 4000 tenge, slightly cheaper than the cable car for two people.

TurkeyRoom cleaning service was very poor. We had to ask for daily supplies from the reception all the time. Even though we put make up room card, we didnt get cleaning proparly. They only changed the sheets after 5 days. Bathroom was very smelly. Very limited breakfast options they had. And we were afraid of asking coffee second time from the stuff in the restaurant.
Location was perfect. Amazing view. Delicious foods in the restaurant. Very kind and helpful receptionist women.

United KingdomLots of unnecessary plastic: mini water bottles (free standing coolers would have done the job), mini shampoo bottles (dispensers would have been better). Restaurant food was often frozen. Considering that most of the restaurants in the area are closed by 8.00 pm, hotel restaurant was the only option to have dinner.
Brilliant location, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely views from the balcony facing the mountains. Excellent access to the mountains.
