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.).

ItalyNothing to say about the property but I prefer Jabal shams location if you want to have the mountain experience.
You enter the room and feel like you’re in Oman! All the details are thought to make you live and feel the country. Rooms are huge, perfectly organized and with a stunning view. The location is perfect if you want to stay very close to the 4 villages (worth the visit) and have the Diana point right on your doorstep. There are 4 restaurants with plenty of choice and the breakfast is one of the best I have ever had.

FranceI would recommend to the hotel to inform the client about the need of 4x4 car to access the hotel. It is written in the last lines in the description on booking but no one are reading that fat … it should at the begining There was a crazy flood and our pool stop to be heated and remained very cold. Despite i called twice the reception, no one came to see if it can be fixed. So we couldn’t enjoy what we paid for.
Beautiful villas with outstanding view. Very nice resort and atmosphere

United KingdomThe dinner buffet was good, but did seem quite steep for the choice on offer. There were very few vegetarian or vegan options. Breakfast was very good.
Obviously incredibly beautiful hotel - amazing views for sunset and the rooms were really breathtaking. The pool was lovely, despite the wind making it a bit chilly! And the gardens were also really beautiful to wander around and see all the different regional plants. The spa was also great, and my massage treatment was very relaxing. All the spaces at the Anantara were stunning and it was a lovely place to be. Whilst our 3.5 year old was also very well catered for - she especially enjoyed using the bikes around the hotel grounds - the hotel is better equipped for older children who can enjoy the rock climbing and other activities. We did manage part of the hike you can do from the hotel, but it gets hot quickly and although most of the way is manageable, it was quite demanding for a young child!

United Arab EmiratesI booked through booking.com and they game me option at pay at the site. I ended up paying at least 500 dirhams extra for exchange rate paying in Omani Riyals on my bill plus 2000 for extra for taxes. so unless your deal includes taxes and you pay online, it turned out to be very expensive deal.
View and location is excellent. The property is beautifully deigned

United Arab EmiratesThe structure is not completely integrated with the mountain, in fact it seems like a squalid barracks to accommodate displaced people. Luckily we upgraded our room and chose a cute villa with private pool and canyon views.

United KingdomSome of the customers were a little rude to staff who have been extra helpful and accommodating.
Staff at the Italian resteraunt and breakfast bar were super friendly. We had some good discussions. It's great to get to know the people behind the scenes. They created a truly romantic setting for me and my fiancé (we didn't ask) for our dinner with extra treats.
