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.).

CanadaLuxury Riad Mounia was such a cute and adorable hotel! Location, location, location! We were not too far from the main entrance of the Madina, in the middle of the more modern and cultural show, footsteps fro where the traditional shops are for groceries and household items. Restaurants everywhere! You are actually attached to part if a fort that is running along the sea that you can walk to from the hotel in 10 minutes, and fisherman’s port and market. Mosques are everywhere so be prepared to me memorized and emotionally moved by the call to prayer all 5 times of the day… so beautiful! Chaima and Siham were the administrative staff, and a gentleman in the evening that we forgot his name. Amazing people, always available for questions and service. All the rooms are so cute!! Just reserve the room size for the number of people you are. The larger rooms simply have more beds on them because these riad properties are traditionally homes many many years ago. These are not 5 star hotels, but you must look passed that because they are clean and you have what you need. The beds are quite comfortable, plenty of storage space, towels, toiletries all included. If you need other items, just around the corner of the hotel are a few variety stores and pharmacies… also the wifi was very good!!! All the store owners around the hotel become familiar with you and you find you are in a very safe city! We highly recommend this location and we will miss our new friends in the Medina!!!

PeruThe wifi was unstable in the rooms but worked well in the common areas and the terrace, that's an area of improvement. As in most riads in Morocco, you'll be climbing a lot of stairs so definitely something to keep in mind but not a major issue.
The hospitality and care of the staff members was stellar. I trusted them with recommendations and guidance during my time in Essaouira, and always felt welcomed. They helped me book a visit to the hammam and even offered me a room in the lower floor (my original booking was way on the top floor). Breakfast was lovely and the staff asked about my preferences so I got to try different types of bread, omelettes, and beverages every so often. The location is fantastic, near beautiful sights and landmarks. I'd definitely stay here again!

FinlandThe showers had a little bit of old smell but when used it was good. No AC meaning a bit uncomfortable in summer but not that much.
Exellent location for festivals, we were there for gnaoua. Staff is amazing and beyond welcoming . The common areas are beautifully decorated and authentic. The rooms are too, and special guest fruits and sweets were offered to us. Very nice touch. The bedroom for three is so spacious and comfortable. We were a group of 9 people and none had any disappointments. Sheets are changed everyday. Their upstairs terasse is outstanding.

Very cozy hotel for a good price in Medina. The sea, city walls, and all restaurants are nearby the hotel. The staff was very friendly.

United KingdomI booked a small room to start with and then a larger room for the second part of my stay, mostly because it had a bath. However, on arrival to the second room, there was no bathplug in the room and the staff couldn't find one, so a bath did not happen. This was a bit annoying as I paid extra for that particular room mostly for this. I did, however, learn that they had just had their worst drought in 40 years so it's forgivable. The main light in the second room didn't work.
Riad is charming. The staff were so kind and lovely, they were particularly helpful. The beds were super comfy and the room decor was beautiful. I was very grateful for the fruit and fresh bottles of water.
