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.).

Great location in Ashar valley! It is part of the banyan tree resort, and you can access all the pool, gym and other free facilities. I think it is the biggest resort of all the banyan tree hotels.

CanadaShower drain needs to be at the bottom of the floor slope rather than the highest point of the floor slope so that water can drain properly into the shower drain. A minor issue did not detract from our amazing holidays with 6 Star service in such stunning site.
Breakfast was amazing, Saffron was delicious, Bicycle was great fun, Spa was one of the best. Staff were outstanding. Stunning resort design blended within Ashar Valley's desert setting and natural rock formations beauty. We were completely amazed by its stylish design surrounded by the natural beauty and couldn't get enough of it.

Saudi ArabiaThe breakfast. First of all they could use a bigger hall. More importantly some foods are not at the level we expected. This is a hotel run by Accor, a French company, and yet the croissants and the pastries are bad and the cheese selection is very limited. Then there is the coffee at the rock pool. 115 riyals for two cups of coffee (50 each +15% VAT) is excessive.
The location is wonderful. The layout of the tents gives a lot of privacy.

South AfricaNothing. It was seamless perfection, from check-in to check-out. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
I have had the privilege of staying in 5-star hotels across the world, and this was, by far, the best hotel I have ever stayed in! The accommodation itself was nothing short of breath-taking. We were upgraded from the Ashar Tented camp to a Banyon Tree Villa, and our suite was a sanctuary of elegance and comfort, with incredible panoramic views. But what truly set this hotel apart was its remarkable staff. From the front desk, who allowed us to check in early, and seemed to anticipate our every need, to every driver, housekeeper and waiter we met, their dedication to excellence was unparalleled. Every interaction is filled with warmth and professionalism. The breakfast was one of the best meals I've had! We loved absolutely everything about our stay!

BelgiumThere are only two minor points for improvement I noticed: ° better follow up on replacing used mugs and bathroom amenities. ° our sliding window couldn't be locked, we informed someone at the front desk but during our stay, it had not been fixed. ° as in many places, it was not easy to switch of all the lights.
The location of the resort is of unseen beauty and serenity, absolutely mind blowing. The entire team is very friendly and helpfull, especially George and his team are top level, they understood 100% what hospitality stands for. Al'Ula is a true gem on this planet and Banyan Tree has build a resort with a lot of respect both for its stunning environment as for its guests. I hope to be back soon!

Saudi ArabiaThere was a poor choice of food/dining experiences. What was available was quite ordinary and very overpriced. When you are confined to a resort that is isolated - there should be more options for food/dining and you shouldn’t HAVE TO pay fine dining prices just to “fill your belly”.
The beautiful tented chalet and the quiet, spectacular, natural surroundings.

United KingdomThe resort is now part of Banyan Tree with check in at the south reception though the tent villas are separate from the main Banyan Tree villas (on the south side). The facilities were great and the staff absolutely amazing - helpful and friendly. Actually I was upgraded to one of the main Banyan Tree villas so I can't comment on the Asher Tent villas as I only saw them from the outside. But the overall surroundings were stunning, set deep in the desert away from the town and just 5 mins drive from the mirrored Maraya concert hall.
