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 KingdomWe enjoyed the walk along the seafront, but some people may be put off by the 20-25 minute walk up to the Medina. You can however book a Petit Taxi for 7 dirhams.
Converted private villa where they have gone to extreme lengths to create an authentic riad type feel. We really didn't stay long enough to do this place justice, but it really had a luxurious air about it. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast offering really good but we didn't eat dinner at the villa as there are so many fabulous restaurants in the Medina area.

CanadaThis is the most amazing place we've ever stayed in. It's unique! It's an accommodation where quality, luxury, comfort meet all together. The authentic décor makes it clear which country you're in. We've been treated like guests of honor. The staff is very friendly and always at your disposition. This is exactly the type of place that suits our passion for travelling and discovering new places. Wish there were more places like this all over the world. We hope we'll return one day. Thank you for everything.

Everything was perfect. Loved it from the very first moment to the last. Nevertheless, I would like to highlight the staff, they were super nice and super helpful and very competent. The room was spacious, bed very good, breakfast excellent and the garden is the crown jewel. The villa is on the south end of the city, 20 minutes on foot from the medina gates. In the night it was very quiet, very good for people with lighter sleep.

IrelandI loved everything about the Villa Quieta. The only thing that I would caution people about is that it would be challenging for someone who is physically handicapped because there are quite a few steps and no lift to the bedrooms.
My husband and I just spent 12 nights at Villa Quieta, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the tea with which we were welcomed on arrival... to the gorgeous 'living room'... to the kind and attentive staff... to our comfortable bedroom... to the delicious breakfast... to the beautiful garden... to the fantastic location just a block from the beach, Villa Quieta was the perfect place for our holiday in Essaouira. The medina--where most of the restaurants are--is just a pleasant 20-minute stroll along the beach. At night we took taxis, and they only cost 1 euro to go to the medina. Our trip to Essaouira turned into the best holiday we have ever had, and Villa Quieta played a huge role in this. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

United StatesDownstairs bathroom location.
After a Medina experience in Marrakech, we headed for Villa Quieta outside of the Medina in Essaouira. Located along the long and beautiful beach, the Villa was within walking distance of the Medina and away from the crowds. It was beautifully decorated and the staff welcoming. Our suite had not only a large bed, but two twin beds in the loft. It could accommodate a family of four, or even two couples. While the bathroom was a bit inconvenient, down a flight of stairs, it was the best one of our trip with double sinks, heater, large shower, and excellent lighting. Breakfast was typically high-quality Moroccan. Freshly baked breads, yogurts, orange juice, fruits, and eggs upon request. Much more than we could eat. Being outside the Medina could have proved inconvenient for a long walk to and from dinner, but it was not a problem. Our favorite restaurant, the Atlas, was only steps along the beach where we enjoyed the freshest fish and amazing sunsets! We highly recommend Vila Quieta for your stay in Essaouira.

The hotel is in a great location. Quiet. Away from the city but not too far, about a 20 minutes walk. The beach is right across the street from the hotel and walking distance to “beach and friends.” There, you can grab a drink and watch the waves roll in, camels walking around and horse tours. I hightly recommend it!

United StatesLocation outside the old medina, right across the beach. Beautiful grand home with exquisite furnishings. Kind and helpful staff. Both Khalid and his lady colleague were super helpful (and classy!) We were there in February and having heating in the room was really nice. Seems like a great place for renting 2 or 3 rooms around a small common sitting room, for family or friends reunions. During booking and before arrival, as well as during our stay Khalid was very responsive to our queries and concerns. Thank you!
