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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

KazakhstanSmoke in the room just when we checked-in. Stayed at Bab Al Qasr for the 2nd time, but in a residence, which was alright, except upon entrance to the room you could feel the smoke, whether someone was smoking there before or it was brought in via ventilation. We also smelled weed. Staff proposed to bring in refresher which only helped temporarily, the rest of the time we could still smell it.
We liked the interior, how room was equipped, wonderful breakfast selection

BahrainThe only downside of the hotel is that you can tell that the furniture, bedding, towels, etc, were overly used and consumed. Even though everything was cleaned, we found some holes in the bedding, stains on the apartment's furniture, towels with threads loose, and you can hear sounds in the plumbing of the bathroom. The curtains were the only thing that I could tell was not cleaned because they were very dusty. Every time we opened/closed them, we felt the dust fall on us.
I recently stayed at Bab Al Qaser with my family for 10 nights. The hotel was not our first choice for this trip. However, we certainly did enjoy our stay. The hotel location is good, we had rented a car because everything was at a driving distance. The staff, however, are what made our experience enjoyable. Everyone was friendly, smiling l, and patient with our kids. Every time we asked for something, it was quickly provided to us by the staff ( be it extra towels, snacks, or a baby high chair). I would like to give a shout out to Shahid, a waited at the artisan restaurant who always out an effort to make sure he says hello to everyone and makes sure everyone got what they need. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment and it was very spacious for a family of 6. Everything in the apartment was very clean and whenever there is an issue that staff were quick to handle it.

United KingdomI would say, if you’re not all inclusive food and drinks are quite expensive, but we did find a supermarket just across the road.
We had a lovely experience in this hotel on arrival. Our room was not available so we were upgraded to a deluxe suite which was huge. The hotel itself was extremely clean. Staff were very very friendly. The pool area was very very clean and so was the beach. The beach area had a lot of sun beds under palm trees and parasolwhich is really nice as it gets extremely hot. There was a pool bar and a bar at the beach where you can have food. Down at the beach there are a few water sport activities you can also book. We booked one jet ski for two of us for half an hour and I believe it was about £85. you are in walking distance of the mall which takes probably about 1520 minute walk and a few bars and restaurants along the beach. If you want to go into the main city you will need a taxi but it costs by £6 to do that. The staff were all so helpful, very polite and couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you very much.

United KingdomThe front door area gets very crowded with drop-offs and pick-ups due to its small area, but is well-staffed to minimise inconvenience to residents.
The room in our deluxe studio apartment was huge, with a good view overlooking the Palace hotel and out to sea. The beach area is good and safe for swimming, and the pool on an elevated podium area is a nice place to relax and be close to the bar.

United KingdomBeach and area around swimming pool at the hotel are extremely small. If you come at 9am, all sunbeds are already occupied. Mums with children had to sit on bar stools to watch their kids in swimming pool because there was nowhere else to stay. Same at the beach, we had to lay on little piece of grass, it was too packed. Sea part is very limited, during tide out water is very shallow, looks like a little puddle, impossible to swim.
Room with 1 bedroom and lounge was very spacious. Good bathroom and kitchen, well equipped with stunning view to the Mandarin and Qasr Palaces. Service was amazing! We had a nice walk all way through the park with the Founder's memorial to the Corniche, very lovely area.

Saudi ArabiaAlthough all amenities and services are available, the only comment would be that due to the large number of visitors the crowd management might cause a delay in providing services. The Housekeeping staff seem to be busy so you might need to remind them to come more than once. The room service staff also might not pickup from the first call.
The room used was a three bedroom apartment. It was impeccable and had a wonderful view of Emirates Palace. One of the best rooms I have ever stayed at.

United KingdomSome cleaning staff just didn’t do the job well. I always looked forward to Fidel because he seemed to be the only one who did a great job of cleaning the room properly especially the bathtub. Since we stayed for so long - about 30days(though extending in bits after the first 19nights), we called to discuss a concession or rebate of some sorts on our further bookings but were told this would only apply if we stayed beyond 30days. We felt let down by this because I know as a Millenium member that 14day or even 7day stays are considered long and come with a night or two on the house or some significant discount. Since we had stayed so long (longer than initially planned) and developed some relationship(we believed), this should have been an easy thing to consider. Otherwise, the stay was pretty pleasant.
This booking was an extension of our stay which started on 7th November. The staff were very helpful during our stay. We had to extend a couple of times and the reception staff: Thea, Dee and Nabira(I might have footed her name wrong) were very helpful. The concierge was friendly and kind to our little one especially Ajay, Komi, Yahya to name a few. The restaurant staff gave us a warm welcome every morning and engaged our little one and were helpful with our requests. Fidel kept our room exceptionally clean whenever he was on shift which thankfully was most of the time. In room dining, bar service, the lifeguards and pool attendants were also very service oriented.

United Arab EmiratesI think the apartments really need a refurbishment. It’s worn out, the seats, curtains and appliances are not clean anymore and worn out and there was a subtle smell. Moreover, it wouldn’t hurt you to stack up cleaning appliances (for a furnished apartment), doesn’t cost you much but increases overall packet and comfort of stay. Slightly overpriced form my pov
