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.).

Good room and good facilities. Very friendly and welcoming staff - they helped booking taxi rides with the local app among other things. Overall you get a great value for your money.

GermanyI stayed at the Muscat Inn for four nights. The hotel is close to the Grand Mosque, which is within easy walking distance. For the rest of the way, you'll have to take a bus or book a taxi. Booking a taxi is very easy and inexpensive with OTaxi, the Omani Uber. There's also a large mall nearby, about a 15-minute walk away. You can buy almost anything there. The entire hotel isn't the most modern, of course, but it's perfectly adequate. After all, it's not France, but Oman. You just have to get your bearings a bit. Check-in and the staff were helpful. I don't even know if there's breakfast, but I didn't book one. But there's a small cafe where you can probably get something to eat. I didn't visit that either. I always ate out. Wi-Fi was stable during my stay. For the price, the service was perfectly fine.

CanadaThe staff were friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to accommodate my request. During my previous stay, they couldn’t provide a room with a view due to full occupancy, but they remembered my preference and made sure I got one this time. I truly appreciate their effort and thoughtfulness!

Decent outlook and interior. Room is clean, spacious and shower has good water pressure. Very close to airport bus station. Staff are very helpful and polite. It is almost the cheapest hotel along the highway, and I think it deserves higher score.

PolandThe bathroom definitely needs renovation, as we noticed fungus on the ceiling, which was a downside.
This is a good hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We especially loved the beautiful view of Muscat from our balcony, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was very comfortable, clean, and well-maintained.

TurkeyA major backlash is that the sink leaks and appeasing the leaking water is a tough job. The hotel management should fix it.
There are many positive aspects to mention. I really admired the décor of the room and the aesthetic structure of the building. It is quite centrally-located with good transportation and dining opportunities. Kind reception, nice lobby and smart check-in. In essence, this hotel is a great option with its good amenities accompanied by its affordable price.
