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.).

United KingdomRestrictions to use the pool and / or bath in the sea after sunset.
Superb staying. Majestic hotel in a privileged location. This was our second visit, and an upgrade was offered to a large, comfortable spotless room - the carpet needs refreshing - with a sea/pool view from the balcony. Friendly and professional staff keen to assist. Excellent breakfast buffet and service. The Italian restaurant serves good quality food too and great service. My car was kindly valleted prior to checking out. Recommendation: Keep couples and families with small children on different floors.

My recent stay at Marsa Malaz Kempinski was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. The hotel’s ambiance is a perfect balance of luxury and comfort, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a truly memorable experience. The housekeeping team, in particular, deserves special recognition for their outstanding professionalism, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Their warm gestures, including the personalized welcome note, added a very personal and heartwarming touch to my stay. The service across the hotel was consistently attentive, courteous, and efficient. Every staff member I interacted with demonstrated genuine care and dedication to ensuring guests enjoy their time to the fullest. The facilities were immaculate, and the atmosphere throughout the property reflected elegance and refinement. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my stay and sincerely appreciate the efforts of the entire team. Marsa Malaz Kempinski sets a benchmark for hospitality, and I will gladly recommend it to others while looking forward to my next visit.

LebanonI would like to highlight an urgent safety concern in the bathroom. The shower area tiles are very slippery and pose a serious risk. My daughter has already slipped twice. Please be extra cautious, and in the meantime, consider placing towels or sheets on the floor to reduce the risk of slipping. I strongly recommend proceeding with a renovation to improve safety in that area.
The location of the hotel was excellent, and the staff were very friendly, especially those at the pool safe guards,and kids’ area. I would like to thank Mrs. Maisa, in particular, for her warm hospitality and great support. She kindly arranged a late checkout and provided us with an extra bed, which we truly appreciated. Thank you again for the wonderful stay.

United KingdomThere was one aspect that left me a bit disappointed: the guest booklet mentioned amenities like beach slippers and ear plugs that could enhance comfort, but when I inquired, a staff member told me they weren’t available and didn’t show much concern. It was a small letdown in an otherwise excellent experience.
My experience at the Kempinski Hotel in Doha was truly exceptional, and it all began before I even arrived, thanks to Omar Mazaraa, the Front Office Manager. Omar’s incredible professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care stood out from the very beginning. He made sure every detail of my stay was arranged perfectly, and his dedication to guest satisfaction was the main reason I chose this hotel. Upon arrival, Omar continued to go above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and happy throughout my stay. His warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel truly valued as a guest. Omar is a shining example of what world-class service looks like, and he is the reason I will absolutely return to Kempinski Doha. I also want to recognize Samir from Housekeeping, who kept my room in pristine condition every day. His friendly smile and commitment to excellence added a personal touch that made a real difference. And Apple from the Switchboard was fantastic, she ensured all my requests were handled quickly and efficiently, always with a cheerful attitude. The hotel itself is luxurious and beautifully maintained, but it’s the **exceptional staff—especially Omar Mazaraa—**who make it truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
