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.).

United KingdomDar 91 is an outstanding property! Paolo and Jeremy were lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay magical. Paolo's WhatsApp a week or so before was so informative and helpful. The house is stunning, full of lovely touches and fantastic pieces of art. Everything we needed to cook was available. The neighbourhood is lovely. It's vibrant and felt safe. It's close to everything but just enough away to be quiet. The bread oven a few doors away was one of our favourite places to go every day, pretty much always open and so friendly - the best bread for 1 MAD. We stayed in no 2. The bedroom was great, it has superb windows to keep it as quiet as possible. With the shutters closed, it's super dark. I slept so well and I'm not the best sleeper. The shower was perfect and the bed comfy too. We also loved the roof terrace and 360° views. We can't wait to come back! ❤️

United KingdomNothing, everything was excellent, just wish I had the opportunity to stay longer. Essouria is so lovely.
I was met at the property by Hakim, a member of the team, with the keys and he explained everything. Prior to this communication with Paolo had been excellent, his written guide which he e-mails you beforehand is really informative about all aspects of the stay. The property was just as described, I stayed in the studio and it is gorgeous. Paolo had made sure that there was water, bread, eggs and oranges available for me on arrival, which was so thoughtful. He also dropped by the following day and said hello as he was checking on work due to be done next door at a neighbour's house. I loved staying in this part of the medina, I got a real sense of what life is like there. The property is really well equipped, with a very comfortable bed and cooking equipment so I was able to cater for myself, great as I am here in Morocco for a month.

MoroccoI would like to have my own house like this apartment. It's comfortable, cosy and beautiful. First few minutes we spent on "visiting" this apartment and looking at decoration - accually it's a kind of art not only place to stay. Arrangement of apartment is well-thought-out, there is big and comfortable mezzanine bed, sofa to chill, eating place, armchair, shelves for clothes and even small desk if somebody needs to work online. And still there is enough space to move comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking (there was also coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt for guests) in the bathroom is also everything what tourists need (even hair dryer). Meeting with the host - Paolo was super nice; what the interesting, inteligent and kind person, we feel lucky to meet him. Few days before our arrival we had contact with Paolo via WhatsApp with offer of help with taxi etc. When we arrived we found water, bread, olives, eggs, delicious biscuits and fruits for breakfast - nice surprise. The apartment is located in calm street in the medina.

PolandEverything was hilarious. Location is perfect, just on the old city walls(Medina), 5 minutes walk to the beach. House is like an art museum, there is more than what you need. Everything was thought with all tiny details. House consist of 3.5 floors, living room and kitchen on the first floor, bedroom on second, a cool single room on the mezzanine and a terrace with a view to Ocean, wow ! Fireplace exposed a great atmosphere. Bed was very comfy with electricity blanket. We were taken care of very well, owner-Paolo was very informative and easy contactable. They welcomed us with some fruits, snacks, pasta, eggs, water which was very kind. Housekeeper-Hakim was super friendly. Price for such quality was very good. I would definitely come back and also recommend it to all my friends.

United KingdomGreat location, good for exploring but also far enough on the outskirts of the old town to be quite quiet. The apartment is very beautifully designed, roof terrace offers amazing views, including the sea. Well equipped kitchen, great for longer stays. Many small additions to enhance the experience - snacks provided on arrival as well as comfortable local clothing for the windy evenings on the roof top. Host (Paolo) was helpful, easy to get in touch with and able to help with local knowledge. Staff (Hakim and Halima) were also very attentive and efficient. Highly recommended for an authentic stay in a beautiful city. Will hopefully be visiting again soon

This is an example of the high life. From the moment we landed, we were taken care of - our lovely hosts arranged a transfer, the lovely driver even walked us to the outside of the villa, where we were guided upstairs to our beautifully clean and well appointed accommodation. The table was full of fresh fruit, breads and snacks. Coffee and milk etc - everything you could think of for a comfortable stay and such a nice gesture to arrive to. The sheets are furniture all comfortable and clean and the location was nice and central whilst also being just 1 minute or so from the Main Street. We were lucky enough to have the roof top also which had views of the ocean crashing on the rocks. And we opted for the breakfast to be dropped outside our door each morning which was such a nice treat. I want to thank the hosts for having us and for going out of their way to make our stay so perfect. We will be back for sure.

GermanyWe did not miss anything at all during our stay.
Our stay at Dar91 was just great! Communication with Paolo in the days before our arrival was already really pleasant and easy. When we arrived at the Place, Hakim, the Housekeeper, was already waiting for us and gave us the tour of the House. We were greeted with fresh bread, olives, boiled eggs, cookies and a fruit basket set out on the kitchen table. What a nice surprise! Paolo and Jeremy did a fantastic job furnishing and decorating this comfortable, fun and eclectic place with lots of love and great attention to detail. We enjoyed relaxing on the two rooftop terraces and the living room in the evenings. We also did make use of the kitchen and found everything we needed to prepare proper warm meals for ourselves. Paolo we got to meet twice during our stay. A truly warm and wonderful person he is he made us feel absolutely at home. Thank you so much for this experience!!

GermanyAll was great…if someone complains then maybe Essaouira is not the right place for them, or they have issues with steep stairs.. that’s about it
The attention to details in the apartment, you can tell Paolo has put an effort in designing this place and making it look really pretty at the same time comfortable. Not to forget that Paolo, Halima & Hakim have been great, super friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend this place plus it’s in the old city but not too deep and away from the more crowded places, it’s the perfect balance.
