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 KingdomOverall a good place to stay but requested additional child bed not made up on arrival in the evening . Night staff seemed reluctant and did not make the children’s bed properly-bordering on rude. Paint in the bath peeling badly and shower holder falling off the wall.

United KingdomThe swimming pool was freezing even though it was August. Perhaps solar panels could be used to pump warm water into the pool (it works in other hotels). The gym was hidden away from view, I used it. The bedroom had no drawers to lay clothes out such as T-shirts and underwear.
The lovely reception staff were helpful and friendly. The beautiful lady cooking omelettes for breakfast was marvellous, so patient with so many guest demands. The room was clean and comfortable. But why no drawers for unpacking clothes? A wardrobe is great, but you need drawers as well.

United KingdomBig property but felt tired. There was no-one at the spa when I wanted to book in person. Tried booking over the phone and it seemed there was no availability- hard to believe for the hotel which was near empty when I checked. Most restaurant staff looked bored with their jobs and took forever to bring cutlery. This sounds petty but for the amount of money I paid, I didn’t get good enough value. The breakfast was awful. Little variety. We stayed 2 nights. One night should have been enough. Kudos to the cheerful doormen and receptionists!

CanadaNo coffee / tea making station which I need in the morning. I asked for a kettle at the front desk but apparently their room service closet/attendee doesn't start until 7am. We were able to get tea from the downstairs restaurant but additionally, they eventually delivered a kettle and mix of tea bags to the room (extra cost for the teas).
Low season in Essaouira so the hotel was not busy at all. Quite a large hotel with a resort feel, right across from the beach which was nice. After staying in Riads in Marrakech, having a big modern room was quite the upgrade. Room was large, shower and bathtub, and couch and TV. King bed was very comfortable. Oh and they upgraded us upon check-in, which was also super nice. We did not have breakfast included but when I checked in the morning, the spread looked pretty decent. It's about a 15 minute walk from the bus station/entrance into Old Town, and its a nice walk along the water. I'm glad we chose here vs in the old town.
