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.).

United KingdomWe booked a taxi transfer from the airport. The taxi driver was waiting there with our name on a sign and all was well. But beforehand I had some questions about child seats and didn't get much of a response, which made me a bit nervous before arrival.
My daughter (4) and I stayed in the Marjana triple room for three nights. We both really enjoyed our stay. She loved the bed on the mezzanine level (although the steps were very steep so younger children certainly need supervision). The staff were really kind to my daughter and very helpful in recommending less touristy restaurants for us and advising on how much things should cost. The location was great. Really close to everything we wanted. The price was excellent and we liked the traditional decor. I would stay here again.

CanadaThe city had quite a few flies when we were there (only there for one night so not sure if this is common). We had many when we arrived and when we shared the problem, the team was responsive, shut our windows and sprayed to mitigate.
Breakfast on the terrace! Many cute seating areas up there. Shared bed was big, the loft was private and comfortable. Hosts were super friendly and the location is fantastic! Just a few minutes walk from parking on the widest Main Street of the Medina. Stores, restaurants and bars line the entrance of the hotel as well as the main street.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay here right in the middle of the Medina! The owner and staff were so accomodating and could not do enough to make you feel welcome and your stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was a lovely traditional Moroccan breakfast and was plentiful filled us up, they had no problem with giving you black tea with milk or extra coffee if asked. Was great value and central location right in the Medina, also had a trendy loft bar rooftop terrace which we could buy tapas and alcohol if we wanted.

PolandRiad is located close to a club, which plays loud music till late night, which might be audible. As we visited Essaouira during winter, the temperature drops down to a few degrees during the night and there is no heating/air-conditioning, so additional blankets are needed.
A very cosy and classic riad located in the heart of Essaouira medina with very friendly and helpful staff. Our stay was very enjoyable, especially breakfasts served on the rooftop terrace.

FranceOne of the most beautiful places we stayed at during our tour of Morroco. Entered by a short alley with a high-end carpet shop, you arrive at a tastefully decored atrium. Friendly staff made this a very welcoming place. Our room was large, equipped with two single beds and an en-suite. Loved it!

CanadaThe riad is quite old, and the air felt a bit musty, but potpourri was placed in the rooms to help freshen the air.
This is a traditional, family run riad, in a great location, right in the heart of the Medina. The hotel manager generously upgraded our room at no extra charge. The traditional Moroccan breakfast of coffee/tea, orange juice, bread with oil, honey and jam, mesmet (Moroccan pancakes) and an omelette was delicious and a great start to the day.
