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.).

ItalySome of the furniture - especially outdoor furniture e.g. sun beds - were a bit dated. Could do with a refresh.
This is a truly unique hotel. Incredible garden with stunning views, and beautifully decorated interiors. Very good breakfast and dinner. Driving distance from Essaouira. Very friendly staff. Overall, one of the best hotels we stayed at in Morocco.

United StatesBeds, mattresses and pillows are not designed for humans, we wake up every day with back and neck pain due to mattresses and pillows bad quality. Shower is literally dripping without any pressure...it took us forever to take a shower. Even though the location is 10 minutes driving from Essaouira but a car is a must because of 2 minutes of horror skid, unpaved and dark road leading to the riad.
Decor and design is a masterpiece, location is calm and quiet (10 minutes by car to Essaouira), view is mesmerizing, loved the heated pool,breakfast is limited but very delicious , and the staff is very friendly specially jalal is soo adorable but try to avoid the French owner.

United KingdomSome rooms don’t have air con which would be a problem peak season. Water pressure in showers weak It is off the beaten track so not easy to find.
It is set out of town overlooking the dunes and sea(an hour walk) - we were happy with this but does need a taxi in and out which the owners were happy to book. Peaceful setting, beautiful pool area, traditional rooms with quirky finishes throughout hotel and gardens. Lovely staff.

SwitzerlandCan’t think of anything really.
The riad was amazing, with lots of art pieces, colourful, great energy, with adorable pets, amazing breakfast, delicious fish tagine, deserts and a great wine. Maryam and Jalil are marvellous hosts. They were always there for any of our requests, how to get to beach, transport to/from Marrakesh, transport to/from Medina, printing our boarding passes, restaurant recommendations, they really went above and beyond our expectations. The pool was always clean and warm, mainly to those windy days, it was very comfortable and great to chill in a warm pool, after a long day at the Medina. We strongly recommend staying with the Tamayourt.

Switzerlandhands down one of the best places I've stayed at in Morocco. From the second I walked in, I felt welcomed like family. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and authentic. The rooms are spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated, you can tell they put thought into every little detail. The food? Insane! Every meal felt like a true Moroccan experience. Huge shoutout to Maryem and Quentin, who are honestly the heart of this place. They’re so warm, attentive, and make you feel like you're at home. Honestly, it’s a 10/10, and I’d go back in a heartbeat.

United StatesIt was great, but not worth the price. Can find a 4 star hotel at this price with free breakfasts. This is why Moroccans don't stay here, only tourists (figured out my mistake). Breakfast and fees alone amounted to $40 supplemental to the room.
Lovely pool, lovely clean hotel and nice staff. Breakfast was delicious. Quiet and peaceful near Essaouira by car.

PortugalVery little to complain about! Not the property’s fault but just bear in mind Essaouira being on the coast can be a bit windy so just prepare for that.
We could not have had a better stay! The Tamayourt is a secluded Riad about 10 minutes drive from Essaouira. Everything about this place is perfect. Quiet, incredible, friendly and attentive staff, especially the owner Maryam who is a ray of sunshine, exceedingly helpful and an amazing chef. The days we ate here all day were the best food we had on our whole trip. The garden and art pieces are stunning, and the heated pool has been the best swims we’ve had. As hard workers, we wanted a total relaxation of a holiday and Tamayourt provided that and more.
