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 StatesLike others, we did trip the breaker in our room and had to call downstairs for assistance. The guy at the front desk came up right away and opened a panel behind a picture in the hallway (lol) to reset it. The toilet also stopped flushing randomly. It just needed a jiggle of the handle to fix it though.
The location of this hotel is excellent and our room was spacious. The a/c was sufficient, even on a hot day. I particularly liked the rooftop breakfast and the restaurant on the ground floor was also good.

France- The works on the terrace in front of our window. The works were not in process, so not noise. But the view was à little spoiled. The owner should clean the terrace between 2 works. - The lay-out of the room. The room are very nice but there are some small disturbing details. No light close to the bed. Only for the room, and no switches close to the bed. Sofa not facing the TV. A lot of electric switches but most of them at the wrong pla.ce and not working.
- The excellent location in the core of the old town. - The very nice staff. - The view from our room, directly onto the fort and the mosque. - The comfortable of our room, very modern. - The breakfast in another place, à very nice one We were moved there by an electric open-air car

TaiwanThe showerhead in the bathroom is fixed and cannot be detached for use. The breakfast area is located on the rooftop, but there is no elevator access. These two aspects might be inconvenient for individuals with limited mobility (although there is also a restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel).
If you book two rooms and request connecting rooms, they will be two opposite rooms linked by a small living area/foyer, creating a spacious environment where large luggage can be placed in the living area/foyer. The decor is relatively new and very clean. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to Nizwa Fort, the central landmark of the area.

Location was good, right in the middle of the Old Quarters of Nizwa Old Town. Easy access to many of the old town charming attractions, great food places & the local market selling all things Omani. The rooftop Cafe is an amazing place to chill and enjoy the beautiful view of the Old Town area, beautiful sunset view as a bonus. Room was comfy & very clean. Friendly & attentive staffs.

The old town hotel is located in the old center of Nizwa and can be easily reached by car. There is free parking near the hotel. There is a rooftop on top of the hotel, but this is only open as from 4pm, for drinks and sweets only. Old Town Hotel is located close to the souks and Nizwa fort (5 min walk)

United StatesAs others have mentioned, the shower doesn't drain hence the bathroom will flood.
The location of this hotel is fantastic within the old city. Free parking was easy to find and to drive to (contrary to what other reviews mentioned). The room was very comfortable, great bed, bedding, & powerful aircon.
