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.).

The hotel was really clean (also, our room was cleaned every day), the staff very friendly and the breakfast was good as well. Furthermore, we also liked the location (close to the beach and parking lot) and the sea view from our room. We would 100% recommend this place!

Beautiful clean and welcoming property at the end of a covered lane within a five minute walk to the main souk. Our room (Verte) had gorgeous sea views and balcony. Breakfast room on top floor again with sea view.

We enjoyed the Moroccan breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the beach of Essaouira .. We’ll definitely come back! On arrival we got given a map of Essaouira with many special (local) recommendations. Thanks!

Very good location inside the old town - not on the crowdy streets. .Welcoming staff especially Soufian was very kind and helpful. Room very nice and clean but a bit small. Room was always very clean after room service. Good idea to have the breakfast on the terrace, where you have excelent view.

United KingdomNothing - just a note that you will need cash to pay tourist tax even if the room is already paid for.
Stunning Riad located in a quiet street but still in the heart of the medina. Recommend the rooms with a sea view as the afternoon sun will hit the room nicely. Lovely hosts who let us drop our bags earlier than the check-in time and had them waiting in our room once we came back after lunch. They also cooked us breakfast 30 minutes early as we had an early flight. Breakfast served upstairs with a view of the beach. Comfy bed with great quality bedding! Felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.

Staff is so caring and kind, shout out to Soufiane! The view from the rooftop is breathtaking, enjoyed it while having a very good breakfast! The room was spotless and very clean!

United KingdomA bit of disturbance from outside the walls a couple of times. This was late at night and not too much of a problem.
What was there not to like. From the moment we walked through the door,we knew it was going to be a great place to stay. Fatima and Soufiane were great hosts who made us very welcome and were incredibly helpful. The whole team is very friendly. Our room on the ground floor was spacious with a good bathroom. Having direct access to the outside terrace is invaluable when all you need is a quiet moment to read. Breakfasts on the roof terrace were plentiful and very tasty. Everything is freshly made,including the orange juice. Cleanliness is definitely a priority. Everything is spotless !! The location is also good within the city walls,giving easy access to the medina or beach. There are plenty of very good restaurants and cafes nearby. Having stayed in Essaouira a few times,I would say this is my favourite and would be very happy to return.
