Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The resort itself is as stunning as it is laid back. A well needed refreshing break from the big city life, a real breath of fresh air. What really took the trip to the next level however was the quality of service and attentiveness of the staff at every turn. We were designated our own personal butler, Kamran, on arrival and he really made sure that our every need was catered for and was always offering useful information and suggestions for us, even bringing us wonderful fruit plates and baklava to our rooms which really was a touch of class!! Everyone from the bar and waiting staff to the chef were extremely welcoming and took the time to have a chat with us throughout our stay. The pool area is simply stunning with plenty of shaded cabanas and a swim up pool bar to grab a refreshing drink. The entire resort has such an awesome Bedouin style retreat vibe and although it was very quiet being off season it still maintained a rich atmosphere. Both restaurants Italian and Moroccan offered up exceptional dishes with extensive wine lists. The only thing I would say is that the lighting could be adapted in the Italian restaurant in the evenings to offer a more intimate ambience as it felt a bit too bright which creates a more formal uptight atmosphere, an adaptable dimming system with some extra candle light would work wonders in there for the more relaxed Italian dining vibe. Finally our room was luxuriously cozy with pool view balcony and no expense spared with regards to attention to detail of what one might need during a vacation. An extra deep bathtub is always welcome and this one was big enough for 2 people and you were able to soak in the bath whilst watching a movie with a glass of wine in hand which is always a luxury comfort! Overall top marks for this place and I will really look forward to returning during the busy season to check the place out with a more lively vibe too.

United Arab EmiratesThe location isn’t really desert resort. It’s more like edge of the desert shrub sand land. Not near fantastic dunes.
The property is absolutely stunning and the spa is Devine! The staff went completely out of their way to make our anniversary special. The food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend.

United Arab EmiratesThe kids club wasn’t really open, and there wasn’t really any activities to do. Tv was broken so whilst program said movie night every evening there was no movie. Limited cuisine options.
The villa was lovely. Great size for a family. The wave surf experience is really good for the children too. Staff were really attentive. They really make the resort, and turn the resort into a 5 star review.

Beautiful and luxurious resort in the desert. Elegant and well kept rooms. The swimming pool is very nice. Breakfast was super tasty and the choices were endless. The best part was the service. Every single staff went out of their ways to make sure all guests are welcomed and served to highest standards. Don’t miss the spa, one of the best massage treatments we’ve ever had. Ala in all we highly recommend this resort.
