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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Arab EmiratesThere were a couple of things that didn't work e.g. bedside light, TV remote control which we didn't mind too much but we expected better.
Great location right on the Dubai Creek in the middle of Al Seef Souq.

United Arab EmiratesThey could be more attentive in the restaurant keeping the food trays full. They also ought to put covers on the syrups & jams on the buffet or at least put them under netting. Too easily accessed by flying insects.
Charmingly done to represent old style Emirati houses. Rustic but with all the amenities.

Singaporeduring the 1st day of stay the room was a bit hot even the aircon temperature is at the coldest temp.. unable to use the TV as it doesnt have sound and no movie channels..you will just use the room for sleeping.. breakfast is good but the menu is almost same everyday..
The place is combination of modern and old times especially the room and toilet..just the area alone is good for pictures..plus easy access to metro, gold souk and airport..

CanadaIt is a very busy hotel so staff are always preoccupied with large tour groups, we were definitely last priority and sometimes felt like we were in the way!

United Arab EmiratesI can understand it's to keep the authentic decor intact but a little more light would have been preferable in the bathroom. Specifically when you want to dress up. 😉
My daughter and I fell in love with the ambience. We stayed for 1 night. Hope to go back when weather gets cooler later in the year. 🤞Location, Old world charm of the hotel and the rooms, polite staff, good breakfast everything was good. Heritage souq and creekside location made our evening relaxed fun.

BulgariaUnfortunately, when you book a room with a market view, you won't get one - the whole market is covered to protect from the sun and you can't see anything, you're just paying more money for the same room - this is not correct and the hotel needs to think a lot well, should they sell certain rooms with a "view" at a higher price. The bathroom, unlike the room, was not cleaned well - there was dirt on the tiles, and the shower head was also quite dirty. The air conditioner blows very cold all the time, it can't to adjust the blowing force and no matter how much you increase the degrees - it does not respond.
The hotel is very conceptual and well made. The breakfast is good. The room is well cleaned. All the staff are very kind. It offers a really good and authentic experience

United KingdomThe staff at the hotel were not very helpful. They seemed upset whenever we spoke to them. They were also quick to pawn off responsibilities to one another instead of helping us out. At the end of our stay, we met with a senior hotel personnel, Sameh, he was a lovely to speak to. I would recommend the staff to be a bit nicer and more accomodating towards the guests.
The room is a bit small but for the location, it is worth the money. We did not opt for the breakfast option as there are many cafes nearby and you can definitely get some local and authentic food experience for a good price nearby and including at the Arabian Tea House.

Hong KongThe hotel buildings are distributed all along the Heritage Area, so my room was a bit far away from the hotel main building for check-in. This may cause some inconvenience. Public transport to and fro the hotel is very very limited. One extra reminder, the bus T10, which google maps show stopping at the Heritage Village, DOES NOT RUN.
The rooms and the Al Seef Heritage district are full of charisma, and the rooms are so well designed to make guests feel comfortable. The buffet breakfast is stunning. They have options from Western to Arabic, and the quality is very high. A well worth add-on.
