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 KingdomOnly difficult was initially finding the property upon arriving. Most likely our fault for not saving an offline map prior to arriving in the city.
Wonderful service, fabulous breakfast and stunning room! The hosts couldn’t help us enough, and made it such a special stay.

United KingdomThe property is perfect in many ways you can forgive the nightly music from next door. We had no problem sleeping with some good ear plugs.
The location is superb right on the edge of the old town looking out to sea. The staff as always were all brilliant. The morning breakfast is the best.

Pleasant Dar in the city centre of Essaouira. Lovely rooms in morroccan style with cozy bathroom. My family and me enjoyed rich breakfast and pleasantness of manager and staff. We wanted to do some extra outdoor activities - manager arranged everything for us quickly and efficiently.

United KingdomA lot of reviews here mention that there is a bar exceptionally close which is quite noisy. It’s the baseline which may annoy. We were offered ear plugs, but we didn’t take them, didn’t need them. Slept like a baby.
Not too tricky to find, very central for everything. Wonderful double layered roof terrace (with 🐫🤔). Bed was comfy, room was small but really lovely. Shower was more than adequate (and I’m fussy). Lovely welcome, great manager and the ladies delightful. The breakfast was the best we had experienced in the two weeks we have been on the road. Would definitely return if we are ever in the area. Also, thank you so much for letting us use the roof terrace whilst we were waiting for our afternoon bus.

NorwayWe loved everything!
We really loved this place! The entrance seem a bit scary at first, in the tunnels under the buildings, but we never had any issues. When entering, this amazin place appears. It seems more like a riad than a dar, with the big garden in the middle, opening up towards the sky. There is a cozy room at the ground floor, where a fire was lit (guess they serve breakfast on rainy days). There is also a nice roof terrace on the top floors, where you can relax, have breakfast, enjoy the beautiful views over the ocean and the city. We had a suite with a bedroom and two sofa beds, spanning over two floors. We also had a private terrace with sun beds and chairs, it was amazing. We also had a double room which was nice, but it was quite dark due to it being on the 2nd floor. When we decided to stay one extra night we had to leave our suite, and got a new double room on the 3rd floor, it was a lot brighter. Breakfast was great, with tea, coffee, fresh juice, baguette, pain au chocolat, pancake, fruit salad... Served on the terrace. Location is excellent, in the medina, close to the main square and only a few minutes walk to a big parking and the beach.
