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.).

SpainI have nothing especial against the place. Maybe just 2 buts. Camp is a bit close to the town, as commented by others, so it's true that some lights might affect the visibility. Good sunset, not that good sunrise. Second one is a general one, not only for this camp but in general for all of them. I think prices in general are too high for what it is. So in general you pay for the experience rather than the place itself. (but as said, issue is generalized in all camps). So for the general price, this one was quite a good option.
Staff is really helpful and kind. Good conversations with owner and son. Nice bonfire at night. Food was really good. I was alone in the camp and was afraid of the variety and quality... but nothing bad. Dinner was quantious and varied. Breakfast a little bit less options but still more than enough and big quantities too. You will not be hungry. Rooms are wide and clean with bathroom attached (like camping)

United Arab EmiratesThere is no AC in the tents which makes them quite hot during the day. The attached bathroom is rudimentary with low water pressure.
The host Anwar was fantastic! We were the only guests in the facility (the season just started) and the staff took very good care of us. Anwar went out of his way to keep us entertained and help us with the rest of our trip. We had a nice dinner by the campfire and a hearty breakfast.

PanamaEverything was OK.
The services are limited due to is a camp in the dessert. Anyhow no complains about the ammount of food, water, tea, etc. Excellent experience if you want to be in the dessert, watch and touch camels, feed them, etc. The guide Qusay really loves his job and always try tourists to have an excellent time. Full recommended the 4 hours dessert tour were you can do a lot of activities all in one.

ItalyWe spent a night in there, and it was great. The sunset at the top of the dunes, the delicious dinner, the fire in the dark of the night and the chats with the friendly owner, really really kind to answer to all my questions about the Omani culture. Finally a big breakfast and a ride with a camel.

United Arab EmiratesDinner buffet and breakfast could be a bit better.
This is such a nice place and totally recommended to anyone visiting Oman. Best way to enjoy camping in the desert with a bit of comfort. You can see people complaining about some things that don't make any sense, such as mosquitoes. It's the desert, after all. Just remember it's a camping in the dunes and enjoy the experience. It was very pleasant to sit by the fire after dinner and have a enjoyable conversation with some locals and other visitors. I had almost forgotten how amazing the sky looks like at night when city lights aren't there to spoil the view. The owner is such a character and very helpful.
