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 KingdomThe bedroom only had curtains, so no way to blackout the room if this is important to you.
We loved our stay in this riad and would have enjoyed staying a little longer. We got some great recommendations from the hosts and the bathroom was stunning.

United StatesThe room was rather dark - would have liked higher wattage light bulbs.
My room was magnificent. Breakfast was very good. Amira, the host, was thoughtful and kind. The street is right at the edge of the medina, so there weren't a lot of vendors in your face. And there were weavers!

FranceThe Riad is very somber with not so much light. There’s not much the owners could do to change that, but in a city full of light, it was a shame to be in a somber Riad.
Amina is a pearl! She absolutely makes this Riad. The Riad is clean, but a little tired in the bathroom we were in. The terrace is good, but again could do with an update a removing tired sunbeds. A mistake was very, very quickly corrected. Don’t hesitate to contact the owner, who is very responsive.

SwitzerlandThere is no air conditioning and a lot of noise and some pollution from the street when the window is open at night, so you need to chose between the silence and cooler air.

United Kingdomwould’ve been nice to have a larger mirror in the room - only one available was over the sink in the bathroom otherwise outside the room. but that’s just being picky.
Beautiful place and great location - very easy & quick to get anywhere. Most comfortable bed I’ve had during my trip to Morocco. But the real star here is Amina, who is just fabulous!

GermanyA true gem in the middle of the medina. The riad dar les sirens deserves an impressive 5 stars with its beautiful decor and surprising quiet atmosphere. It is a women’s led riad and empowers the local girls to have a good job. For that matter I think it’s very safe for solo female traveler’s passing by Essaouira too. As for the quality of beds The mattresses have a topper, and are the most comfortable we have slept in on our Morocco road trip. My husband and I enjoyed the Breakfast every morning too, it was top! However, beyond anything else we must emphasise specifically the manager of this place, who provided us a very special hosting! Amila, who is sure to greet you with a great smile every morning, will fulfil every wish you have. Her and her kids made this riad feel like home. We loved it so much that upon our first night we cancelled a different riad we had booked after this one, in order to stay longer. Amilas cooking is also excellent, so be sure to ask her for cooking classes if you are interested and enjoy her food as she offers this too! When I told her that I loved a nice fire place she made sure to gift me every morning a breakfast by the fire. This alone was for me so special. Book this place with confidence, you will recharge in this quiet place in the middle of the medina.

We had a wonderful stay at Dar Les Sirenes. Amina is very very nice & puts immediately a smile on your face. She & her colleague put out a delicious breakfast every morning which for sure doesn't leave you hungry. Françoise was also very helpful in sending recommendations ahead & during our stay - communication is spot on! The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, stylish & the rooms are very nice with very comfy beds. Everything is also clean & the location is central inside the Medina. We were very happy to have booked with Dar Les Sirenes as we felt very welcomed - can only recommend it!

United StatesThe description of the location is misleading. Due to the walled city, you can't get to the water without a long walk through the Medina. Unfortunately, the night we stayed, a nearby dog barked outside from midnight till 2am and no one intervened. It would have been nice if someone on staff spoke English to help with suggestions and directions. The rooftop terrace was nice, but was taken over by a cat with newly born kittens and did not like us around.
