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.).

NetherlandsThe road up to the lodge. Very bumpy.
Depending on the purpose of your stay, this lodge being 7 km from the city is very peaceful. If you don’t drive you’ll be depending on the kitchen of the lodge.

Breakfast buffet was diverse and good. Sitting by the pool was very pleasurable, quiet and enjoyable. The staff was friendly, helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we had all we needed.

BelgiumTo achieve its full potential would be great if it could be refurbished in the near future. Hammam/spa experience could have been more refined.
Very comfortable accommodation, especially that we received an upgrade. The buildings and deco have authentic feel reflecting local style. Also the staff was very kind staff and made us feel like at home. Food was fresh and tasty, especially local dishes.

NetherlandsWe booked a house with own entrance but it appeared that there was an apartment on top of the house with other guests. The rooms were very noisy so we could basically hear everything from the Neighbours. That was a disappointment. Also the rooms are old and need some refreshment. The toilet and badroom were old and stinky. Noisy animals around like barking dogs and a few peacocks.
Heated pool, breakfast

United KingdomHotel had advised that they would provide an upgrade subject to availability. Hotel was certainly not full but they advised it was. I totally appreciate that this is at their discretion so I didn’t give any negative feedback for my stay!
Rooms were a decent size, beds were comfortable. Great to have a fridge to keep water cold. I liked the fact that there was some fruit left in the room along with a large bottle of water. I also liked the fact that hotel provided a free shuttle service to Essaouira.

United Arab EmiratesThe management of the resort is changing so you could feel some discomfort with the staff. The resort needs a lot of refurbishing and could spend some money on renewing the furniture and make it brighter in the rooms. Looks nice but will not spend more than 2 nights there.
The location is really nice and you feel very peaceful there. The swimming pool is amazing and the breakfast excellent.

United KingdomThe times of the shuttles into Essaouira were not particularly convenient, particularly if you wanted an early evening dinner, so you need to factor in the cost of a "grand taxi" to get back.
The pool was great, with shelter from the wind. The bed was comfortable and the room spacious, with a balcony area to sit out in. Breakfast and dinner were buffet-style but the choice was good and the staff helpful.

United KingdomThere was a dance group who pretty much took over the whole hotel. They had music playing from early in the morning until late at night. They completely monopolised the restaurant and mini bus. We struggled to get the tables in the restaurant we wanted and we could only get a mini bus in or out of town every 2 hours. Also you could not change your minibus booking at the last minute so we ended up waiting with 4 young children for almost 4 hours to get back to the hotel. The alternative was spending £30 for a taxi each time. Also it would have taken only 20 minutes to get in and out of town but every journey we seemed to be either picking up or dropping off staff so to get in or out of town took at least 30-40 minutes.
The pool was a great size and heated with a baby pool so that was a complete winner with our children and they spent hours in it.

United KingdomThe shuttle bus times did make it restrictive as you an either return at 7pm or 10.30pm in the evening. It would have been good to have a shuttle at 9ish so we could eat, but not stay too late with kids. The taxi service from the airport cost through the hotel is extortionate – much better to organise your own directly – it was less than 1/4 of the price they quoted!
This is a wonderful place to get away from it all and relax. The pool is great. The free shuttle into Essaouira is great. Lots of options for breakfast and the pool is fabulous.
