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 KingdomA bit pretentious and hot and miss on so many details. Breakfast was pretty basic, first day fresh fruit compensate for that, but the other days there wasn’t any fruit either. There was a bidet in the bathroom , was disconnected. Also, pretty annoyingly, I was overcharged and the payment process was so rushed, I didn’t realise until later.
The riad was beautiful, room was spacious and had a little balcony that made it really cute

ItalyIt is a historic Riad, an Old Portughese maison and 10 years ago when Serafina and Leone were there, the Riad was wonderfull, a marvel (we are talking about many, many years ago), today it is in full decline and abandoned to itself. We found a very sad place, not clean and in need of a major renovation. The night watchman drank alcohol and smoked with other tuorists all evening and cigarette smoke was felt throughout the riad (and I was with a child). Old furniture. Very old towels. From the window you could hear local people washing and doing their laundry all night long from a fountain. Dirty neighborhood! The hotel kitchen is extremely dirty and unhygienic, we went out for breakfast!! In Essaouira there are much more beautiful riads full of perfume and art.

United KingdomThe location was terrible, when we arrived the reception was full of flies as we're the bedrooms. It was very noisy, kept awake by dogs barking all night. The terrace where they served breakfast was dirty, The chair seats were peices of formica held on with cable ties. We were booked in for 3 nights but only stayed for 1.
The rooms did look like on the pictures but couldn't bear the flies. The staff were friendly The shower was good, plenty of hot water and easy to use

IrelandThe riad is truly beatiful, located very close to the center of the Medina, and also close to the city walls and gate. This makes it very easily accessible from the parking lot as well. The most incledible aspect of it was the host, Simu, that is an incredible guy, very helpful and extremely polite.
