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.).

PolandBeutiful location overlooking Mirbat cliff. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. No access without a car. The place is defnetly for nature lovers but the construction was very disruptive for the natural enviroment. Light pollution from large number of lamps.

Czech RepublicThe accommodation had several non-negligible flaws: nonrefundable, poor online communication, loud howling winds on some nights, stained walls and curtains, very poor signal etc., HOWEVER thanks to the magnificent location, kind and helpful personnel, tasty potato-stuffed flatbreads for breakfast, nice aesthetics of the resort and especially incredibly low price (2x standard double room for 3 people for 10 nights for 900 euro), I must award it with 9 points. If the price were higher, I would be disappointed and angry, but in this case, it was a great value for money.

United KingdomWe tried to have a shower, but there was no water, the problem was fixed and all run according to plan, only to wake up the morning after without water and again the staff offered to change room. This kind of things happen and i am glad it was fixed.
I really enjoyed the stay. The location is perfect and the staff really helpful. It is a new structure, clean and well set within the landscape. to all the people that have unreal expectations; this place is in a natural reserve in the middle of nowhere and if one expects to find perfection a 5 star hotel is probably better. I think it's a great place, and will certainly go back.

GermanyBright green illuminated exit sign in the room that couldn't be turned off - why? Kept the bedroom far too light. No bedside lamps but at least the room was well lit. A kettle would have been nice.
New hotel in fantastic location with beautiful views. Great for sunset & sunrise. Spacious room with large comfortable bed. Basic and cheap restaurant with veggie options.

Amazing location with a fantastic view of Mirbat. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the activities available through the hotel, such as the Leopard Trail hike, Baobab nature hike, etc. The restaurant did a great job of accommodating vegetarian requests.

Saudi Arabia- Mud around the area especially towards the balcony is annoying - Water pressure is low; the boost pump is not working - I was charged OMR 2.5 in addition to the rent shown in my booking for traffic tax, etc.
- Welcoming staff - Location is amazing, but be careful when coming at night - Place is simple yet enjoyable - Suitable for families

United Arab EmiratesNo wifi and no internet also the coverage area is too bad. Also all rooms have Exit to outdoor area but without separation between the rooms and hotel CCTV cameras ate exposed the whole area, therefore no privacy at all! The place is not save for the kids to play a loan where the view from the top of the mountain has no safety after the hotel facility.
The place there is wonderful with a nice view.

United Arab EmiratesAs they are only just opened some of the common areas and restaurant were not as good or comfy as they could be. An increase in price for the night would not be appropriate in my opinion in case that is planned. Everything is cutely done but not high quality in furnishings.
