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 Arab EmiratesThe light system in the rooms is unmanageable. Only one coffee machine in the breakfast. The O'Malley's Irish Pub staff is very doggy and not professional at all. The room upgrade was ridiculous, and we did not have access to the facilities of the upgrade.
The relaxing environment in the pool and the staff working in the pool area and pool bar. They create a good vibe in the place.

Russiaplease explain to your guests rules of the swimming pool. we left our towels for a 10 minutes on sun beds and when we came back we saw other people on them! That was really crazy, especially when they didn’t want to go from our sun beds, saying it was not written that they need to take towels first. and a boy at the business lounge was not friendly at all, all the time we felt like he wants us to go away and he didn’t allow me to take one can of Pepsi outside, that’s very bad.
breakfast, rooms are ok, pool is ok, good restaurant for the evening meal, stuff is very friendly.

United Arab EmiratesNothing about the property really but around the hotel there are no traffic lights or zebra crossings so we felt like our life was in danger every time we had to cross the road in mad traffic. May not be the best location if you are in town for a short stay and wish to explore touristic sites otherwise plenty of restaurants and cafes available around the area and there is a nice little park across the road (if you can cross it in one piece) that has a playground for the little ones.
We were upgraded at check-in and had a Spacious room with nice pool view. Everything was ok in terms of the cleanliness, facilities etc. Breakfast was sufficient and good choices to suit different taste buds

United Arab EmiratesEverything was great, only one small recommendation would be to include plant-based alternatives to milk for breakfast, and then it would be perfect.
Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and with a wide variety of options. Location central, and very convenient to navigate from. The bed was just perfectly comfortable. Staff is absolutely lovely and helpful. The bar next to the pool works until late, so it was perfect for a drink at night, too.

CanadaI spent 3 nights there but had to pay for 4, as my flight was changed and I was unable to make it the 1st night. It was non-refundable, so the front desk offered me breakfast and late checkout, which was nice. Despite confirming my late checkout the night before and again the next morning, I was hounded to check out all day, calls to my room and people coming to the door. At one point they cancelled my room key and I had to get it re-activated. This made me uncomfortable. It was clearly a communication issue among staff, but they should be on top of this.
Attentive staff, clean, not far from the sights in Muscat (by car or taxi). Nice poolside bar serving alcohol, although at the exorbitant Omani prices, but just max out your duty free on arrival at the Muscat airport to get around this :-). Room was spacious and well-appointed (fridge, desk, hair dryer, lots of sockets, kettle and espresso machine, big bathroom with tub and shower), although unfortunately none have balconies. A different choice of carpet would have made the visual impact of the room much more attractive. Breakfast was fantastic and you can eat inside or on the pleasant covered patio overlooking the pool area. It's expensive if you don't get it included though. There is not much within walking distance but there is a strip of restaurants and a shisha bar across the street. Also a small grocery store and a few other eating options (burger stand and a kebab place) straight out the back entrance of the lobby of the hotel, below the parking lot. TIP: download and use the OTaxi app, it works exactly like Uber. The hotel works with another, more expensive company so OTaxi can't pick you up there. Just go through the lobby and out the back entrance, and set your pickup spot for the kebab place just below the parking lot. I went all over Muscat with OTaxi and the prices were great.

United KingdomGarden and swimming pool are nice, but face a 6 line highway so it's not really a good place if one wants to relax and sunbathe.
Nice hotel, good quality of rooms and facilities. Great buffet breakfast though coffee machine has only decaf option. One can ask for espresso from machine behind the bar, but that's not very convenient. Both the reception and restaurant stuff are attentive and helpful.

BelgiumThe hotel has been around for a long time and despite what seems to be a relatively recent refurbishment, it does not manage to shake off its air from the '80's. Overall everything looks a bit tired. Despite the pictures, there is not really a garden and the hotel is now stuck between a flyover and a road. Convenient for business, not great for tourism
Conveniently located hotel with a good sized pool and multiple restaurants. The rooms are large and well appointed. The beds are very comfortable
