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.).

AustriaThe Riad had so many beautiful details and was very well maintained. We felt very welcomed and safe and loved coming there after walking through the town. The location was also very pleasant. But the highlight was the owner Mohammed Z. who is a really kind and warm person. We will definitely come back when we travel to Essaouira again. Also the artworks of Mohammed Z. are really amazing!

New ZealandIt was a bit trickey managing the hot water for the showers. It is solar heated which is great but there wasn't always any in the night.
Lovely staff, just fantastic. The riad is tucked away so it is very quiet and breakfast on the roof was lovely. Cute little riad.

United KingdomNothing!! It was a bit tricky to find using google maps the first time as the alley doesn't show so a little extra map in the instructions would help for the initial trip.
Such a lovely traditional riad in a very central location. Light and airy with lots of plants and two lovely roof terrace areas. Samir and his wife were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Samir booked quadbiking and hammam for us. We had our evening meal cooked one evening two which comprised three courses of very generous portions. Our family 'room' was a lounge with a bathroom coming off it and double bed on a mezzanine plus another double bedroom off the lounge with ensuite bathroom.

ItalyBreakfast was not a lot. Really hard to find, Maps will guide you to a wrong street, is actually the parallel one and you need to look up for the sign of the Riad.
The Riad is located in the heart of the Old Town and it's amazing to just go out and walk around.

Beautiful Riad in a great location in the centre of the medina. A lovely family run the Riad and they were very helpful throughout. The room was more like a family apartment, with a separate bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast was lovely. A great roof terrace. The owners organised a transfer back to Marrakech airport for us too.

PortugalThe shower was difficult to manage. Very hot or no pressure at all (I believe it dependend on the hour you took your shower, because the water was heated by solar pannels). Also, the alley to get to the place was dirty with litter and had a bad smell
The place is an authentic riad, with the rooms around the courtyard. Staff was nice and breakfast was tasty and diverse. Good location near the main streets, with lots of shops and restaurants. The Jouj suite is great for a family, really nice room with the mezzanine

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
Les Matins Bleus is a beautiful riad hidden away in the medina. The owner gave us a lovely welcome and was extremely in helping us to plan activities/excursions while we were there (surfing, camel ride, trip to Sidi Kauki). It is in a really convenient location - close to all the restaurants, shops, beach etc - but is also a very quiet place to return to if you want a rest away from the hustle and bustle and has a comfy roof terrace to relax on. We had tasty, filling breakfasts and a delicious dinner at the riad and the duplex family room we had was so spacious and comfortable. We would highly recommend this riad to anyone spending some time in Essaouira.
