Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

United States of AmericaI liked everything. Nothing negative to say.
Everything! The service is outstanding! From the moment you walk in the door, you’re pampered from everyone. The beach attendant gave me a cooler with a four pack of water and a popsicle to cool off before I even entered the water. Another attendant offered to spritz/clean my glasses upon leaving the beach! Everything is offered at your service, including a free camel ride! The employees are from around the world and offer top notch service and speak English perfectly. We would definitely return, given an opportunity.

United Kingdom1 night is not long enough to experience the true beauty of this hotel We were very kindly allowed to check out late (2pm, with no extra surcharge) so this meant we could explore the grounds The hotel is definitely on the pricier side.
Everything you can expect from a 5* establishment From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. Rooms were very well equipped, facilities were fantastic. You could get lost in the hotel and there is plenty to do without you stepping foot outside Breakfast was great Pools were fantastic Private beach was perfection

FranceNothing, i'm usually someone who will find something to tell, but have nothing to tell... i think it expensive yes, but worthy ! have seen hotel with the same rate, and high standing... but i never ever had that sparkles in my eyes !! everything is absolutely stunning.
We were at the suite ( west wing ) with a big balcony L shape with view on the beach and the Qasr. It was a fairy tale dream really, we took the suite for our wedding, and it was "la cerise sur le gateau" couldn't even imagine it in my dream...

RussiaA lot of mosquitos outside (stayed in may) Nowhere to go outside of the hotel, but the territory was amazingly huge for walks The sea smells a bit weird
This is a real palace of the Sheikh. Not overcrouded at all. +1 km of a sea shore. Two big swimming pools, two small water slides. Tasty, healthy and quick in-room dining.

This is no longer the Emirates Palace. Everything is different: the service, the bath amenities and the atmosphere. It is worse than it was.

RussiaWe are dissatisfied with pool experience. Sunbed was dirty. There was not enough staff there. My son stepped on broken glass at the pool and he started bleeding. The reaction from the staff was like nothing happened. The didn’t even clean the rest of the glass and did it only a called them once again and clean it. I asked for the manager but the staff told me that he is in a meeting. I asked to call me but nobody called. I think such situation inappropriate
I like the hotel. The room and the view was very good.

RomaniaThe only thing we didn’t like at the Salt and Kole restaurant was the fact that they didn’t say from the beginning that there was a minimum amount for ordering and we needed to take extra food just to be aligned with the amount for 2 people.
Amazing property with everything one could need for a perfect holiday. The room was one of the best we ever stayed in. We choose the one with a private garden and being on the ground floor overlooking the pool area was such a great thing. The beach area is even better than at Atlantis in Dubai because the sand is fine and white. Both pools were great. I also enjoyed the bike ride around the property. It is a better alternative to the boggy ride. Shout out to Joseph from the lobby - he was super helpful with our luggage.

BulgariaThe room service has its flaws. Unresponsive sometimes, or taking a long time to execute your request. The cost of living in the Emirates is high but to pay 50 or 60 EURO for a small frozen and unsavoury pizza (room service) was excessivе. The luggage from the room of my mother was lost (didn't get to the lobby and then someone stored it somewhere and nobody knew where it is) for a long time precisely when we had to catch a plane.
Well, it is a real palace, so you get everything that you could expect from a palace. It is so big that you have to walk 5-10 minutes between reception and your room. All amenities are fantastic. The breakfast is royal. The view is magnificent.
