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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaOnly thing I'd say is the terrace wasn't quite as magical looking as it is in the photos – looked to me like it's used mostly for laundry, not for sitting and enjoying. But nonetheless, it was a very lovely stay. Thank you so much! Would stay again.
LOVED this stay. The young woman on reception whose name I unfortunately didn't catch was so friendly, so helpful. Big comfortable rooms. Delicious breakfast. Great location in the heart of the medina. Strongly recommend!

SpainMaybe it would have been nice to have some variety in the breakfast, in case you stay longer. But for 3 days it was ok for me.
Very practic Riad in one of the main street of Essaouira. They gave me a bigger room, so I can't really write about the single room. I got a very good deal and I'm happy with the relationship quality-price; maybe the riad lack a bit of some atmosphere, it's more similar to a hotel; but I was aware of it.

Polandno one mentioned that we had breakfast included during check in. the room we got was very humid and there is no air conditioning. the fan in the bathroom is not functional as well.
the staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was correct. the location is very central and the riad is beautiful. there is a terrace for use 24h which was very cool to use for breakfast during the day or even during the night for some cool air.

United StatesThere was 1 man there when we arrived that was rude. The issue was resolved. However just because you have a bad experience with previous guest does not mean you reflect that on future guest.
The rooms were well organized and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The lady at the reception was absolutely amazing.

United KingdomThe windows were open when I arrived, with flies inside my room.. I had to make sure Room wasn't exposed to insects or flies. The steps were steep to the top floor and required hard work to take luggage on my own to the Top floor.
The location was easy to reach inside the Medina. Had no problems to find via GPS. The reception staff were helpful and courteous. Rhe breakfast on rooftop was nice, and everything was fresh.

SlovakiaThe construction work was just behind our windows, it was really noisy, streets have their typical odour. I would probably book something out of medina next time - to enjoy more peace and quiet...(let's see)
The riad is located right in the medina what brigs its advantages and disadvantages. The acommodation is clean and staff very kind and helpfull. Rooms are spacious and beautiful. Whole Riad is very traditional, we enjoyed our stay

FranceThe bathroom was very small and left no area dry after a shower. We also had to close the door to the bathroom at night because there was a strong smell coming out of the shower drain. Also recommend to bring earplugs as it was fairly noisy, but this was because our room was close to the terrace and we had a window open up to a noisy alley.
Loved our stay! The riad is spacious and nicely decorated. The staff was super attentive and helped us if we had any questions. Great breakfast served on the terrace!

A very small hotel in a old house is situated in the old town. I was in the very nice room on the 1st floor designed in traditional style, above the frequent bazaar street. It was very quiet and comfortable in the night. The staff was nice and very helpful. Breakfast was with sweet sortiment. Thanks for the great time!
