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 EmiratesThe only thing that went wrong was us taking a wrong turn before the resort and ending up outside a palace, which added to the fun adventure, but more signage a few kilometers away would be helpful.
Our stay at Bab Al Shams was the most magical experience. The staff were amazing, and the resort felt like an unreal oasis amidst mesmerizing sand dunes and desert tranquility, perfect for escaping reality with enchanting desert nights. The food was great, the room was comfortable, and the entire atmosphere was amazing. Special thanks to Jamal for organizing incredible activities like archery, sunset dune bashing, camel riding, and falconry – I can’t wait to come back!

United Arab EmiratesThe prices are expensive for cigars and the spa too. I dont find it reasonable to pay 800 AED for a 1 hour massage.

United Arab EmiratesTemperature in the bedroom. Took a long time to cool down.
We love Babl Shams and this was our first stay since the rebrand. I love the new look, was badly needed. The new restaurants are very welcome and love the new layout of Al Zala. Our room was very warm and took ages to get cool and comfortable, this was the only issue we faced. Great staycay and we will be back!

United Arab EmiratesThere were lizards and spiders in the room and in the pool but we think it is because the resort is in the middle of the desert maybe that could be the reason.
The staff were very very nice, kind and helpful.

United Arab EmiratesI was late to the property and despite being informed by the reception and staff that some restaurants were open until 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM, we were denied service as the kitchen had closed at midnight. This was a bit of nuisance to me and my family on a weekend.

United Arab EmiratesThere were a number of wasp-like insects that seemed to be nesting outside our patio door so we were unable to use the outdoor patio area which looked very sweet. Pillows are too large - we asked for a synthetic pillow but the size makes them unusable.
Loved the refurb of Bab Al Shams, the room was stunning and almost faultless. We live in Dubai and love this location as a desert get-away. Very luxurious and the service is impeccable always. The 30% off offer for GCC residents was very welcome as food and drinks can get quite pricey. Anwa restaurant was a big hit - super tasty and the breakfast buffet was incredible.
