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.).

All perfect. Very friendly staff who helped us find the best room given our situation. Nice rooms with great outdoor space. Breakfast served on the terrace is excellent. Location just outside the touristy part of town in a quiet part of the Medina.

United KingdomThe bathroom was stunning. It was a tiled traditional design, however after every shower (no screen or curtain), the tile floor was water soaked, meaning whatever you later needed to do in the bathroom was done in a puddle of water.
The Art House Cinema hotel was a perfect getaway destination. The room was clean, the breakfast sumblime, Tarik and the team were welcoming and efficient. Anything you needed such as a airport transfer or Spa could be booked at a moment's notice. The location was fantastic, (situated at the end of the Medina), it was so handy. This also allowed for a glimpse into the daily life of the locals.

United KingdomOnly downside was due to the season - cold and high humidity. An electric heater or similar would have been very nice for the cold evenings.
We recently stayed at Art House in Essaouira and had a delightful experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the amazing and diverse breakfast served each day, adding a delightful touch to the stay. The hotel's location, a mere 15-minute walk from the beach, provided both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. The vibe of Art House exuded a cool and unique charm, making my stay truly memorable. The staff, including Ocama, Mustafa and especially Salah were exceptionally friendly and helpful, contributing to the overall positive atmosphere. Their warmth and assistance enhanced the overall quality of my stay, making it a truly lovely experience. I highly recommend Art House for those seeking a comfortable and welcoming stay in Essaouira.

Room is clear and tidy, the hotel is inside Madina which is very convenience to visit the major attractions and go shopping. In addition, the night staff Mustapha is very helpful and friendly. He upgraded a twin room for two of my friends without charges. The breakfast is very good and tasty. All of my friends love staying at the hotel for sure.

United KingdomJust one tiny little thing- no hooks or hangers in room to hang up clothes.
Fantastic atmosphere with beautiful roof terraces overlooking the Medina. Has airy feel and combines traditional and modern elements. Beautiful colour schemes. Had the top floor room and we were very comfortable there. Would need to ask for room lower down if stairs are a challenge. Staff very friendly and helpful; they seem to enjoy what they are doing. Good breakfast.

United KingdomWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The terrace was charming, and what truly stood out was the incredible friendliness and assistance of the staff. A special mention goes to Alaa Ben Miya, an exceptional host who went above and beyond. With a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth, Alaa prepared our favorite breakfast and provided insightful guidance on exploring Essaouira. Undoubtedly, Alaa is the finest host we've encountered in all our years of travel.

MoroccoThis hotel has been impeccable in every sense of the word. The hosts and staff were super friendly and helpful offering me tea and coffee everytime I left my room haha, they were happy to sit and have a chat with the guests sharing tips on what to visit in Essaouira and the lovely places to dine in as well as just talk about life. As for the hotel itself, everything was perfect, the second floor terrasse, where the delicious breakfast is held, overlooked the magnificient streets of the old medina while the third floor terrasse offered a much larger view of the city. The room and its ensuite bathroom were both spacious and neat with a lovely Moroccan theme. This hotel has made my trip to the splendid city of Essaouira a true wonder, I recommend it 100%.

United Kingdomdue to the fact that the riad is located within the heart of the medina, the streets can get a little loud at night if there is cultural/ religious festivities taking place. If you are someone who appreciates their peace and quiet and night, I recommend staying when there are no festivals happening.
All the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They helped us so much throughout our stay and always ensured that we were comfortable. A massive thank you to Mustafa and Salah who have been the best hosts! The view from the roof was phenomenal and we enjoyed eating breakfast there while appreciating the gorgeous view & clear skies. Breakfast was different everyday and tasted incredible. The rooms were spacious and very clean, whilst also having aesthetically pleasing furniture. The whole riad embodied the traditions and spirit of Essaouira and I definitely will be returning after such a pleasurable stay.
