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.).

Aghata Palms Riad was wonderful. Absolutely everything was beautiful, we loved it very much. It's in a great location in the medina. Maybe it takes some searching the first time, but Blanka the owner sent you a map on how to get there, even with photos of the street and front door. When you arrive there you will be welcomed bij the friendly Fouzia who will show you around. Fouzia comes to clean every day and if you want she will make breakfast for you. We didn't do that so unfortunately I can't say anything about that. We had the top floor with private terrace and sea view. There were two very nicely decorated bedrooms one with a bad and one with a shower. The beds were very comfortable. There is a nice kitchen and excellent WiFi. On the ground floor you will find books and information maps with many excellent tips. There is also a beautiful garden with lots of plants, palms and a swimming pool that you may use. Everything there is also very beautiful decorated. It was a pleasure to communicate with Blanka. She is very attentive, she responds quickly to your message and gives you a lot of good information in a nice way. Essaouira and Riad des Palms stolen my heart. Essaouira has a special harbor with a lot of activity, many blue fishing boats, seaqulls and many sweet cats. There's a cozy medina with lots of shops and very friendly people. Lots of good restaurants too. I can't wait to go there again. And of course back to Aghata Palms Riad. Thank you very much, Blanka and Fouzia. It was great! Hope to come back soon. With many kind regards, Mary and Rian.

EstoniaWe liked everything
The stay has been awesome from start to finish. We got a detailed description how to find the place, where to park and what to expect from the riad and neighborhood. There is an even more extensive booklet on the ground floor for more insights. Blanka was always available when we had any kind of questions. Fouzia made us a nice breakfast on our first day and has helped us to to get around.

United StatesMy friend and I were on the top floor of this Riad where we each had our own bedroom. There is a kitchen and outside seating area. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. It was nice being able to spread out (and wash clothes in the washing machine) after weeks of traveling. The rooms are cleaned daily, good wi-fi, and the location is very convenient to shopping, restaurants and the beach. Our host wasn't present but communication with her is excellent to ensure all our questions are answered. I would stay here again and I recommend it highly.

LatviaSwimming pool is cold, but it's a problem of every pool in Morocco.
We were in Morocco 15 days and just 2 of them in this Riad which was the best one among others. We've got the floor with a terrace and it's fantastic! Having breakfast or drinking wine with an ocean view, or simply sunbathing - valuable! Both of the rooms were big enough, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well-equiped. If I come back to Essaouira, I will definitely book this place again.

GermanyWow, what a beautiful riad. We had the entire second floor to ourselves, it was perfect! The roof terrace is amazing...and offers a view of the ocean. Blanka and Fouzia are very welcoming and helpful. The location is absolutely perfect, close to everything. You can walk yourself from the bus stop, only 5 minutes. Be advised that the riad is next to a mosque, so the Muezzin call at sunrise is very loud ;) although i think that is the case for almost all riads in the Medina of Essaouira. You'll get used to it and fall asleep again hehe. One of the muezzin had the voice of an angel though, wouldn't mind to hear him more often. The other ones not so much :D

PolandWe were in February and had terrible luck with the weather and low temperatures. The rooms had small electric heaters, but it was a little bit chilly. I suppose stronger heaters could help with that. If you come in warmer months, you can easily skip this info ;).
The Riad is cosy and tastefully designed. Beautiful garden. There are 3 floors, each is a separate apartment. It's a typical riad, so there is a lot of shared space. The location is excellent, in Medina, very close to all Essaouira's attractions. The rooms ar spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped.
