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.).

ItalyHaving to leave.
Everything was superb . I made a last minute booking and mentioned that it was my birthday. When I arrived a beautiful bunch of roses and a birthday cake was there for me. Was given a complimentary upgrade to a bright and comfortable room. Everything was spotless and well kept. The staff were exceptionally kind and outgoing, we really felt that that they loved doing their jobs. A great choice , conveniently inside the Medina, but quiet and calm and easy to reach. The morning breakfast a generous feast . Was a great choice and would reccommend to anyone travelling to Eassaoiura.

NetherlandsNo elevator, so we had to go up several stairs to go levels to get to our room. Staff was so kind to help and brought our luggage to our room. The side walls of the shower do not reach the ceiling and there was no door or curtain at the entrance of the shower. After showering we had some water spillage on the floor of the bathroom. In the room you can hear some noise of other guests e.g. when guests go to their room late(r) than us.
Beautiful Riad/hotel, centrally in the Medina. The room had all facilities needed. Breakfast was very complete and it was served with all fresh products. The staff was very friendly and supportive. The shower had good flow and enough hot water. The central area has a cosy atmosphere. Staff recommended a cooking class, it was at home of the cook and a real 'go local' experience.

United KingdomIt would have been nice if all the rooms had windows to the outside. We even visited in February and it still got quite stuffy in the rooms that only opened out into the hallways. The stairs are also very steep which made it difficult to bring large luggage up and down so pack light.
This is a beautiful property with a wonderful location and friendly staff. As soon as you walk in you're greeted by the staff and the smell of oranges which is nice. It is a really charming property with a light-well that connects all the rooms and makes it feel much larger than it actually is. Our room had everything you could need for travelling alone, but some friends said their rooms didn't have a window to the outside, only the hallway which made for a stuffy sleep. The breakfast was also great and we did not have to wait long at all to be served. The location is also great as the city is quite small and you are immediately put out into the white and blue streets as soon as you walk outside. It doesn't take longer than 10 minutes to walk to the seaside or the historic city walls.

Stunning Riad in an excellent location. We had a twin superior room which was on one of the upper floors with windows. Upgrading to a superior room Was definitely worth it. No air conditioning and days were hot but breeze was lovely. Delicious breakfast.
