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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

BelgiumShower facilities as above and very low chairs
Very large room with large comfortable bed. Ample breakfast but not nothing especially tasty. Very nice and helpful staff. Beautiful spacious bathroom but has a shower in the very deep tub with controls which can not be reached unless you are in the tub. Totally unusable for older, less limber guests. However, when presented with this problem, the receptionist arranged for use of the sauna for showering.

PortugalNothing worth mentioning except the breakfast location, which could improve on the inside settings (furniture and amenities) to match the outside, which was superb, with a fantastic ocean view.
Location is great for strolls within the city and access to great restaurants and art galleries. Very nice Riad with great views from the rooftop. The staff was beyond pleasant and helpful. We even went back to know the name of the night front desk clerk - Nourdine - so we could show our appreciation. Regretfully we could not thank him personally! Breakfast was varied and plenty, with a good choice.

Gorgeous location. The properly was beautiful. Very close to the beach, and can just sit on the rooftop and watch the sea. Close to the restaurants and shops, which made stepping out for meals and coffee very easy.

IrelandAmazing location. Incredible rooftop view. Very friendly staff especially the cleaners and the lovely woman at reception. We were kindly upgraded to a room with a view of the sea. Very spacious with a lovely bathroom. The wifi was difficult to connect to - like everywhere in Morocco but this shouldn’t be a priority for anyone as there is much more to look at in this country than your phone! There is so much potential for the rooftop terrace, a little TLC would make such a difference as it has stunning views. Great location so close to the sea and souks.

United KingdomWe asked for 2 separate beds and sea view room, to which receptionist were able to accommodate us and really we were blown away by it all. Even the size of the bath tub, must have been about 6ft. To put it into perspective, we were only meant to stay 2 nights then move on to another city. But we loved Essaouria and this hotel so much we cancelled the rest of our plans and stayed 4 nights in total! The roof terrace was exceptional, just a bit higher up than all the rest with fantastic views over the sea at your right on the edge of the land. Couldn’t believe our luck with the terrace next door being a restaurant with live music most nights, so got to hear beautiful music every evening on the terrace. Staff were all genuinely lovely, rooms always clean and we had everything we needed. 10/10 and definitely plan to come again, especially to this hotel!
