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.).

Great location & traditional style Riad. Farine (the Manager) went out of her way to help us & was an asset to the hotel, with her friendly yet professional banter. We loved the visit & will be back again & definitely stay here.

Zineb arranged comfortable transport back to marrakesh airport and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were comfortable and clean, we had our own keys to the front door and the location was perfect with everything on the doorstep but also calm and quiet. Altogether a wonderful stay, thank you

MoroccoClean and well located Riad in the old city of Essaouira. The owner, Hassan, is a nice, welcoming, and caring person. Fatima is a nice woman. The breakfast, made from authentic products, was really delicious. Although I was ill the last day of my stay, I had a good time there and the staff took care of me.

We can’t thank Hassan enough for his great service. The room was also very comfortable (amazing bed!), great value for money and a great location. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!! Thank you Hassan for making our time in Essaouria 10/10.

IrelandHonestly, no fault was found. Booked for 2 nights ended up staying for 7, nothing to do with the upgraded room from single to the suite at no extra charge just because I was the first Irish person to stay at this establishment.
The location is perfect, just inside the old city and a stones throw to the beach and harbour. The host was a gem. Always willing to assist the visitors. Staying at this Guesthouse was without doubt a home from home experience. The house has an extremely chilled and relaxing atmosphere, to say the least. WF was excellent. Didn't have the breakfast, according to other guests I missed out. 100% will return and definitely would recommend a visit 👍👍👍👍👍

EstoniaWe liked basicly all about our stay. Worth for stay. It was on quite noisy for such small street with seagulls and kids playing but it didnt affect our good night sleep and it got quiet for the night hours.
Nice, clean riad! Great and calm host, made us feel safe and welcome. Bed was very comfortable! Tho we booked the smallest room, it was tiny but comfortable and great for our two nights stay. Would stay longer next time.

Wave Mogador was our best stay in Morocco in comparison to Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Fez and Rabat riads. Our host was very helpful and provided us all the information we needed, as well as support. Actually it was one of the best stays we ever had anywhere, mainly because of the hospitality of the host. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean, breakfasts are exceptional in comparison to other Moroccan services.

NetherlandsIf there's anything negative to say, it's that our stay was too short! We would have loved to extend our time at this wonderful place.
We had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The host was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to fulfill all our requests. He even gave us a map with the best restaurants and places to see in Essaouira. The location was ideal, close to the main points, but still very quiet during the night. The room was very spacious and comfortable.

Czech RepublicHasan was a wonderful, charming, and intelligent host with superb english and spicy sense of humor. Attentive, but not intrusive and really kind. First thing he did after our arrival was taking out the map and colorful markers to virtually show us around - where to eat, what to avoid and so on. You can really tell that the man loves his job. The mattresses were brand new, and best we encountered in Morocco so far. It is apparent from other reviews that some guests were complaining about wet environment and mold. I need to comment on that. Guys, the place is literally in the center of ancient Medina, built somewhere around 17th century! For such a buildings the humidity is always an issue. I was very afraid, because I suffer from astma and severe allergy on mold and I haven't seen any sign of mold and didn't have any health problems. Fatima cleans everything perfectly! Many thanks! Wish we could stay longer! ❤️
