Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 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 them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

BelgiumThe wifi was a little slow upstairs.
Very beautiful property, palm trees all around. The room had traditional decorations and was comfortable. The hotel is very central, only a few minutes walk from the fort and the souk. The staff was nice and helpful, and the owner was very kind.

United KingdomAll good for what we needed - easily accessible for our one night stay in Nizwa. Breakfast was tasty (nice eggs- Thankyou!), but it's very limited (bread for toast, and some apples / bananas/tea/coffee). However, lots of options in Nizwa for around 2Rials (£4).
Lovely clean and spacious room, decorated in traditional Omani decor. Parking outside on the road, and an easy 5m walk through some little streets to Nizwa centre / castle /fort. Great Aircon. Staff were friendly, although kept out of your way.

United Arab EmiratesIt's a great location in farms so close to old town and the fort. It's a beautifully refurbished old farm/house in tradition style. Also a nice quiet location tucked off the street. Large room with good AC.

NetherlandsThe location was very good, with the souks within walking distance. The breakfast was decent, and the staff was helpful. We were able to check in early. We visited the goat market (only on Fridays), and it was amazing—unlike anything we had ever seen. Make sure you arrive on time, or you might miss it!

I stayed with my family in this beautiful place. Waking up to the sounds of birds and the view of palm and banana trees was an incredible experience. Most importantly, Hanif, the wonderful person who gives this place its soul, made us feel at home and did everything he could for us. As a hotelier, I noticed some issues that could be improved. For example, the faucet in my room was not properly fitted, and the curtains in my family’s room had come loose. I would have expected the management of such a beautiful place to be more attentive and address these issues proactively. Additionally, while Hanif was an amazing host managing the entire operation, I felt that he deserved at least some assistance to recognize his hard work. Thank you for everything, Hanif! Hope to see you again.

NetherlandsWe had to parc the car outside in stead off inside the walls. Outsifde was enough parking space but the impression on the site was that within the premisses there would be space, but there where to many cars of other guests. That possibility should have been mentioned on the site I think. The owner was not very symphatetic or respectful towards his employee who did all the work while he was standing next to him.
Nice big, clean room, good bathroom, able to sit outside on te balcony and a separat kitchenette with fridge! The view to the garden was very nice and the citycentre was on walking distance.

ItalyA water kettle to fix tea would be good. Internet is a bit slow.
We had a large room overlooking an absolutely beautiful garden with palm and banana trees. The whole area is like an oasis. This would be enough of a reason to pick this hotel. Location is excellent as the historical center of Nizwa is a few steps away.

United Arab EmiratesLovely garden setting. This is a traditional small guesthouse, in very peaceful surroundings. There was only one staff member, but he was wonderfully helpful and took excellent care of us- from checking us in and making our breakfasts, he was so attentive. The fort and old souk were 2 minutes walk away and we had a lovely time exploring in the morning and then relaxing in the shady gardens before heading out again in the evenings.

IndiaWe had a wonderful stay in Date Palm Inn. Although we were a large group of 10, Hanif(the caretaker) took excellent care and was very prompt to attend to our needs. The stay was very comfortable and the greenery around the property was a welcome bonus. The breakfast was basic but very nice and was enjoyed by all. The masala tea was very good.
