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...).

United Arab EmiratesI told reception about the problem which was one of our rooms had very weak water pressure so the shower was a disappointment, especially after a long hike.
The location is amazing though very isolated and far from the beaten path. You arrive via a dirt road, so be prepared! The rooms are very large with wonderful views from the sliding glass doors overlooking the fabulous views. The chef did his best to please us with the dinner and breakfast offerings. Staff were helpful.

United StatesThe location on booking.com is wrong. It’s about 40 min away from start of Jebel Shams Summit hike ( near Sama Resort). The signs at location state just “sunrise resort” and if you follow that on google maps you will be fine but do not use the specific address on booking unless they fix it! Again, great hotel but farther away from our hike than we preferred. Also road to get there is preferred in 4WD but 2WD sedan can and did make it- just make sure you are used to driving on uneven ground
Beautiful spacious rooms and incredibly kind staff. Dinner and breakfast were both absolutely delicious and had great portions. Very nice big tub and great A/C!

United Arab EmiratesMattresses are very hard. Some repairs, tidying up and updating required around the resort, especially in the children's play area. Shower water pressure could've been a bit better. Curtains didn't properly cover the windows when closed.
Friendly staff. Overall cleanliness. Great value for money. Fantastic location and a super nice drive to get there. Amazing views. Amazing dinner and breakfast that was included in our stay. Optional lunch purchased was affordable and super yummy! We had the butter chicken. 13 fin heater available in our room which was definitely required during our stay.

BahrainThe location on Google Maps was wrong. It's 45 minutes away from the actual location, which we found on booking.com The breakfast food wasn't that good, it was average. We booked a chalet, no phone to contact the front desk or the restaurant, though they do come by to check on us around meal times, which was very nice of them even though it was cold. It was too cold, the place wasn't isolated enough, especially the bathroom. The window comes with the open fan in it, so it's like the window is always open and it's in the shower area, so it was really cold. The water pressure was weak. Again, it's not a deal breaker for me. I would love to come back next year.
The staff were very nice and helpful Whenever we ask them for something, they'd offer even more. The dinner was absolutely delicious. There were a lot of cats around The view is amazing We asked them if they could light us a fire, and they did for only 13 usd ( 5 dinars). Note that for the fire, we had to pay in cash, and we didn't have anything for it they took care of it from A to Z and were fast to do it. Quick service in general. 24 hrs front desk. Wifi only at the reception area, which wasn't a big deal to us as we had our data roaming service.

Oman- Omantel coverage is available only near reception buildings, but for only one signal bar. - There is no key lock on the inside of our tent door. - There is a minor issue like there are no towels in all rooms that day, so you have to pick them up at reception. - Probably due to the sewage problem, the toilets are smelly. - Far from the Jebal Sham Grand Canyon. - It is not recommended to go out at night because there are no post-lights on the main road at night.
- I liked the place, even though the sign boards were located appropriately, but you should use Google maps for accurate directions. - Off-roaders and hikers would certainly enjoy this place, and the atmosphere was calm and it was an excellent place to spend time with the family. - You can enjoy the beautiful and awesome canyon views with a deep sense of quiet, plus the staff is nice and the dinner meals and breakfasts are very good.

OmanThere is no omantel coverage on mobile. And there is no range on mobile.
The place was good but the location was a bit hard to locate, because of the directions and sign boards are not properly placed. Those who like off-road travels and hiking would love this place surely! It was nice atmosphere and calm and collective area. There are no post-lights on the road at night, Omantel mobile coverage is not available, it is hard to locate by missing one of the sign, it lead us to the wrong location. But still you can enjoy the beautiful and awesome canyons with a deep silence. Staff's are nice and the food was also good. over all I would give it a 7.5/10
