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.).

EstoniaThe furniture in common areas was a bit dusty and could have been cleaned better (luckily our rooms didn’t have that issue).
It’s a very cute little riad. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The shower was also really nice (we had issues with water pressure in other places during our trip to Morocco). The staff was kind even though they didn’t speak much English. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful!

A lot of facilities, pool, reception area, area for bbq.

United KingdomIt was very peaceful, like a little oasis. Sayid and his family really looked after me, I went to Essaouira for a horse riding holiday and every day they would see that I was well fed with a lovely breakfast, book me great taxi drivers and advise me on price, and even LUCKILY woke me up on my last morning so I didn’t miss my flight! It’s true Moroccan hospitality, always with mint tea!. It’s approx 10 minutes drive from the Medina, and has parking if you have rented a car, but so cheap if you need to get taxis in an out. And also very close to all the local stables in Diabet, I recommend Cheval Essaouira. I had a lovely Hammam in the onsite spa on one of the days and the masseuse was amazing. As a solo female traveller you can sometimes feel worried about your surroundings, you will not find that here. Thankyou so much Diad dar Etto, I’ll be back.

Nothing ti say, i spent two days in that riad it felt that i was in heaven. Only the sound if water birds and wind, mixed with the magnificent view of nature plus the humbled service of the riad owner and his wife made the best trip i ever made. Only one word to describe it : Moroccan paradise ❤️

SwitzerlandThe traditionnel marocain breakfast was amazing. When we came in we were always welcomed by Sayeed and his wife with tea and a smile. On our last night we asked to have dinner at the Riad, so they went to buy all the fresh food to cook our home cooked dinner (lamb tagine) and desert for only 10 dirhams each. The hamam with the scrub is an amazing experience and is definitely worth every penny. The riad is not in Essaouira medina and you need a car, but that was no issue for us! Also, Sidi Kaouki is 30 minutes away and a beautiful surfers beach. Thank you to all the service you provided us with, it made an amazing stay.

United KingdomIt’s a little bit far (15 min) from the city, but it’s not a big deal as they’ll always get a taxi for you at a cheap price.
Beautiful and unique looking property with a rustic vibe. Honestly, just gorgeous. The service was amazing and they always made sure we were fed and had plenty of tea to drink. The breakfast was fantastically delicious and the homemade cookies were to die for. Everything really was perfect and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy and taken care of.

United KingdomLovely place to stay. The staff were friendly. It was a quiet location but a real oasis. Beautiful flowering plants in the courtyard. I enjoyed the swimming pool but they emptied it the next day, so might not always be available. Our room led out onto the roof terrace which was lovely. A really nice stay. Room for 2 cars behind their gates so felt safe place to leave the car.
