How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLovely chalet, with a neat enclosed courtyard, completely as described. Parking in the courtyard. Swimming pool. A whole pack of bottled drinking water. Very friendly host, you can see he has a heart for the chalet and the guests. Sent a list of sights, clearly explained that on jebel ash sham can go up on 2d (we saw how frightened by forums tourists went several kilometers on foot), and then separately asked if we all ok. Chalet is in the old town, right behind the wall. The price/quality ratio is excellent, I recommend it. We regret that we stayed only one night.

Verified reviewThe name is accurate; it is an Oasis! The courtyard is beautiful and is so very peaceful! It would be easy to come and just relax for your whole stay. But there are also things to do in Bahla and the surrounding area. Our family of five was very comfortable in this home! There are two bedrooms. One with a king size bed and one with three single beds. Both bedrooms have bathrooms. There is a kitchen with everything we needed. We did not cook in the kitchen, so I cannot speak to how well equipped it was for that. The host had waters in the fridge upon arrival and had their employee come over when we arrived to show us the details about the pool and other things around the property. The host will communicate via What's App (as did all the other places we stayed in Oman). We kept in contact to let them know when we would arrive. They also sent us numerous links via What's App for things to do in the area and restaurants. We visited Bahla Fort; we went in the evening and it was beautifully lit up. We also went to the Pottery Factory, which was very cool and had amazing prices for their pottery (cash only)! The historic souk was beautiful, but most of the stores were closed when we walked through in the evening. You will need cash to pay for the stay, so come prepared for that. Overall, during our whole stay in Oman, we found the Omani people so very welcoming and kind! The hosts here were no different! Even over the phone, they were accommodating and friendly!
The beds are pretty hard by westerner standards, but it was the same in all the places we stayed in Oman. It really is just part of the experience.
Thank you. Accurate description. There were only 5 of you, but you were very kind and made the place clean and beautiful. I hope you will come back again.

Verified reviewIt’s great to have a beautiful garden and private swimming pool and swings included outside the house. Excellent for friends gathering and photo taking. The host is very friendly and helpful to solve the problems and offer good advice of travelling plan for all the must see beautiful sceneries of Nizwa and Jabal Shams.
The facilities inside the house especially the kitchen are a bit old and insufficient.
