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.).

CanadaSoundproofing not very good so could be a bit noisy at night
Excellent value, staff were very nice and helpful. Good location if you want to be in the Medina, but a bit of a walk to the beach (about 15 minutes). Room was basic but quite large.

United KingdomThe bed was very hard probably not a problem if you are young and fit. I'm not. I'm sure staff would have helped make it more comfortable if I asked but I didn't. I would have liked some sun loungers on the terrace and a full length mirror but overall it was a great place to stay..
Great location easy to find. Light very clean and airy. Has a terrace. Breakfast was very good served until 11am. Staff were friendly very helpful and you could always find one. They spoke English. One young man took my bag down to the taxi rank with me when I was leaving and refused a tip. Highly recommended

MoroccoI think the window to the room we stayed in needs to be fixed. It doesn't completely lock.
I visited with my children and we were received by Hussein and his other colleague. We enjoyed staying in Dar Halima. The room was very clean. Beddings were neat and super clean. The people in charge were efficient and welcoming. Our breakfast was served on time each day. We mostly liked the location since it is close to the beach and a walking distance to the city center. I recommend the facility to any one looking to visit Essaouira.

Location is perfect. Property is historic and beautiful. You feel like king at your own palace. All the staff members I dealt with were super friendly and always smiling. Yasir was the one who I saw everyday and he is a super nice guy. He is very honest too (when I was paying for the 6 euro tax in person with dirhams, he gave me the exact exchange rate. I felt instant trust for him). Don’t hesitate to book. You will feel really good for spending your money for such amazing people.

FinlandThe bed was very very hard. There was no AC but during my stay it was not hot weather so I didn't even miss AC. Breakfast was a bit too small for me (tea/coffee, bread, 1 fried egg, olives, small fruit salad and orange juice).
Clean and cozy traditional style riad/dar in good location and friendly staff. Wifi and shower was good.

ItalyThis dar is beautiful and homey. The room was nice and big and the whole place has a beachy vibe which was nice. It's perfectly located off the main street a few minutes from the main square and the beach. They gave us a dinner recommendation to a restaurant des reves which was absolutely delicious with a view and live traditional music. The staff at the dar was lovely, warm and welcoming, we also had a wonderful breakfast here.
