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...).

Germany- Nothing in particular
- Hospitality and friendliness of the owner and his team - Comfort of the tents is great for being in a desert (heater for winter, A/C for summer, good bed and shower) - Package all inclusive with the tent, food, camel/Jeep ride and traditional Rajasthani show. No extra to pay

United StatesWe recently had the most incredible experience at Kafila Desert Camp. We stayed there for 1 night along with our friends. The camp's hospitality was outstanding, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Special thanks to Paramjeet who is doing an incredible job managing this property. He and his team really made us feel welcomed making sure we had an amazing desert experience. The highlight was they arranged for a sunrise breakfast and camel safari. Overall, the luxurious tents, delicious local cuisine, performances by local artists, and mesmerizing desert views made it a perfect trip. I highly recommend Kafila for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable desert adventure. Five stars all the way!

SingaporeIt is a great experience to be in midst of the desert, and Kafila is a good mix of comfortable living and enjoying the sandy surrounds. The camp is spacious, clean and well-maintained. Staff and crew are one of the highlights for the level of attention and individualised service. Food spread is wide and delicious with several Rajasthani specialities. Got the opportunuty to meet the inspirational owner, who shared the background, use of local artisans and local artists to engage the guests. Paramjeet, Deepika,Mool Singh and team made the experience special. Kudos to the behind-the-scenes chef and sous chef for churning out yum food. Thank you!

IndiaNot much. Everything was as per our expectations. Thank you.
Hospitality at the Kafila was amazing. The team led by Paramjeet was just perfect. They were available when we need and making sure we are comfortable all through the stay. The stay included a clean luxurious tent, big bathroom with hot water. We did an evening safari including a camel ride, tea at the dune along with the beautiful sunset. The camp also has beautiful architecture and peacocks that hang around in the mornings. We celebrated a family member's birthday. At a short notice, the Kafila was able to setup an exclusive celebration with candles, tiki bar, cake and performance. Special shout out for Abrahim for taking great pictures.

IndiaWe love everything about this place.
Our first desert stay turned out to be a delightful surprise, thanks to the amazing staff. Right from helping us with reservations to giving us the lowdown on transportation and activities, they were super helpful and genuinely welcoming. The organized events, like abondoned village tours, sunset watching with camels and stargazing, were unexpectedly cool. We even had the choice of using a professional telescope – a nice touch! And when it came to food, my friend couldn't eat spicy/chilli food, they took this into consideration when preparing her food. What made the stay even better was the friendly atmosphere. It was great seeing women in roles where you don't usually find them. Shoutout to Mr. Mool for being patient with all our questions and making sure we felt at home. This place is a gem, and we'd recommend it in a heartbeat! We stayed 2 days to experience everything and we didn't regret it. A quick note about transportation: We prioritized our safety and asked the camp to arrange a vehicle. The vehicles were comfortable but more expensive than normal. If you want to make transportation cheaper, you can arrange a taxi from the airport.

The best thing about it was the staff ! very very courteous and supportive. we faced a situation with regards to payment to the property and they were super kind in helping us resolve it without any sho shaa. thank you Paramjeetji and his staff. They have some delicious Rajasthani food to offer for dinner/package you select along with some super breakfast. one of the best Upma I have had in breakfast. Tents are very spacious and has instant hot water facility The folk music and dance was really fun and enjoyable with some delicious hot Indian snacks served to us. Book your visit to dunes as per your convenience and they will have it arranged very well ! Thank you Kafila and team, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay ! definitely worth recommending !
