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 KingdomOur room was on the dark side as it didn't have any windows but I suppose it made it very quiet which wasn't such a negative.
The location was very central and convenient at the heart of the Medina. It was very quiet. The terrasse was also lovely. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff (Karim, Abdullah and the ladies in charge of the kitchen) couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. The owner, who was abroad at the time, even gave us a courtesy phone call to see if everything was fine with our stay at the Riad, a nice touch.

PolandRemember, don't use google maps to navigate in Essaouira. Especially to find this Riad. Give 20 to guy with luggage trolley on the parking and enjoy first walk.
Staff was so friendly! We gained advices, and tea, and good breakfast. Our room on the roof was big, clean and beautiful. I wonder why they don't have good photos on booking. We found everything more colorfull and comfortable as they show.

LatviaThe only problem is to get heavy travel bags upstairs, no lift in the old building. But this is a common problem for most the properties in the Medina (old city center)
Perfect location, clean, nice and very helpful staff. Nice patio area in the roof. Very good traditional breakfast.

EstoniaRooftop itself is nice, but the views from there are nothing special. Some books were available in the main room, unfortunately all in French - looked very interesting and would have read if some were also in English.
Located in a quiet alley, just a minutes' walk from the main street. Nice interiors, using tadelact and local decorations. Good recommendations for restaurants and hammam. Just a few rooms in the riad.

United KingdomNo eggs for breakfast Brits do love their eggs… v minor issue. The single bed in a triple room are very small…as they generally are in Morocco - more like an afterthought so the Riad’s ideal for couples or a couple with child.
Beautiful stylish Riad in an excellent central but quiet location. Karim is an excellent, efficient and conscientious host who makes sure everything runs smoothly. The bath tub was AMAZING and a rare and welcome treat. Book the Berber suite - it’s lush…. Wonderfully calm and stylish.

The rooftop terrace is gorgeous. The building is so beautifully decorated and Karim is a lovely host. We got our own key to the building which was useful. Lovely breakfast. Location is right in the heart of things but perfectly peaceful.
