Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaHygiene was awful. But the main issue is that they HACKED our accounts and gave strong ratings. We selected this property based on ratings and now understand it was all a sham. Shameful, horrible cheats and liars.

United StatesThis property wrote a false review using my account after I checked out. They gave themselves a 10-star rating, when I would have given them more like a 5 or 6. The booking office was sketchy, they charged an extra fee for everything, and the so-called deluxe, soundproof room was neither. The sheets were dirty and the shower in my tent didn't work. There was one staff member who was helpful and the cultural show was good, but I have dropped my review to one star because they used my identity to write a false review. Beware of booking here.

IndiaExcellent hosts. Takes care of all the needs of the guests. Exquisitely designed tents that are quite spacious and kept neat and clean for the guests to stay in. Thrilling desert safari in a jeep under the care of trained personnel along with camel rides while witnessing the breathtaking sunset in the desert is just one of the highlights of your stay here. In the evening they also arranged for a cultural program trying to showcase the region's rich culture. Your stay here will also give you a chance to taste the delicious regional cuisine. To top it all the behavior of the hosts and the staff will fill your heart with seer joy.

IndiaContacted the hotel owner of " Sky Desert Safari" hotel by phone regarding arrangements for a "CAMEL DESERT SAFARI" as no tourist leaves Jaisalmer or Jodhpur without experiencing a authentic camel ride in the Thar desert. Since there was "Covid-19" travel restrictions there was a lack of tourists for group camel rides.Luckily "Sky Safari" who deal in "Camel Safari's" managed to arrange a camel ride for me with a group of 3 other tourists..The cost of the "Camel Safari" was Rs 4800/ person thanks to the formation of the group of tourists. and left the hotel at 1530 hrs for the 40 kms ride to " Sam Sand Dunes" from Jaisalmer. .Finally we reached " Camel Point " near " Sam Sand Dunes " where our camels were waiting for us to mount them. Camel handlers Mr khan and a young boy Ayub got us mounted onto our individual camels and led us in a single file akin to a caravan towards Sam Sand dunes. It was a amazing 40 minutes ride and along the way passed alongside the plush "Camel Safari Tents" where tourists were entertained to a night of local dance and music after a camel safari ride. Almost all the tourists were local Indians from different states of India akin to me from the State of Maharashtra.On arrival at the imposing Sam Sand Dunes we were dismounted our camels at the base of one of the 30-60 meters tall Sand Dunes and told to indulge in our fantasies regarding photography on the picturesque dunes. .After the setting of the Sun which we observed from the Dunes we were taken to the only lone family farmhouse in the vicinity of the desert owned by Amin .A small isolated village farmhouse with cows, chickens,goats,camels and a small ferocious Indie dog. No electricity and my battery charger was non operational and was hoping it would last me till tomorrow. After a excellent cup of tea we were served dinner which tasted excellent although ordinary vegetarian food .

IndiaThe overall experience with real desert man camel safari was really amazing and a memorable experience. Unlike other safari and camping agencies, real desert man take visitors to a non tourist spot which is far away in desert and gave a true and real isolated desert feel. The staffs were humble and took extra efforts to take care of me. The camel ride lasted more than an hour in sunset as well as in morning. Its not like a fixed timing. The dinner, snacks and breakfast were like homely foods and I liked the taste very much. They are fully prepared to meet all the needs and wants that visitor may require in desert. Sleeping under the clear open sky in a comfortable bed was so beautiful. They also provided blankets which were clean. Just imagine waking up from the bed in morning and all u see is waves of sand dunes and u just walk as u like for as long as u want, shout as much as u want and dance with no care about anyone judging u.

IndiaWe were a group of 15people (family & friends ) on tour of Jaisalmer and Jodhpur and one of the must do things in Jaisalmer is the Sam Sand dunes. The problem is that there are so many operators and so many reviews of people having a bad time on this once in a lifetime experience that it makes you wonder who to believe and who not to. Also since we had kids with us and this was going to be the first time that most of the group folks went on a camel ride, we wanted this to be a sightseeing trip to remember. In the beginning I was a bit apprehensive about using Sky Desert Safari as I had read a couple of bad reviews of them and those reviews aired exactly the same fears that I was dreading i.e. - short camel safari rides, more charges for a longer ride, bad entertainment at campsite, cold food etc . But must say after I spoke and interacted with Mr Hanif, he put my apprehensions to rest and assured me of an experience to remember for me. my family and friends! Truly we had an amazing experience and everything that was promised by Mr Hanif was delivered and we had a truly memorable time. From the long camel ride (till our backs hurt), to the warm welcome at the camp site , the nice tea and snacks on arrival, the entertainment program (lively and nice ) and to end it with a nice delicious and warm meal. To top it up he even provided us with something special for the kids at dinner time , which was not part of the regular fare. Thanks so much for that kind gesture Mr Hanif...the kids surely appreciated that. Also special thanks to his brother ( Mr Nasir Khan ) who came along with us while we went on the camel safari , just to ensure that we had a good experience , were taken to the place we were promised and that the camel owners didn't ask for any additional monies for that, he was also around us at the entertainment area ensuring that we had everything that we required to make the experience for us as enjoyable a possible. Thanks Nasir Khan for everything.
