How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Hello Rodney, sorry to bother you, but are you aware that "7" is a very poor rating (far below our overall average) which will make us fall significantly in the search results?? I'm just telling you this since you seemed satisfied with your stay with us...

Verified reviewThis 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.
Some of the furniture - especially outdoor furniture e.g. sun beds - were a bit dated. Could do with a refresh.
Snif... sun beds in acacia have just one year... but thanks for your comment ! See you again. Corente

Verified reviewDecor 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.
Beds, 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.
If you dont like French owners (even though they serve you with a smile), you have several addresses on booking. PS: the name of our admirable manager is Jalil and not Jalal... PS2: I asked you in PM why you wrote that you should avoid the French owner but obviously you didnt answer me. I expected booking to delete this completely discriminating comment, unfortunately they never assume their role as moderator.

Verified reviewIt 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.
Some 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.

Verified reviewThe 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.
Can’t think of anything really.

Dear young people, I suppose that you are accustomed to the best palaces in the world with heated swimming pools and sea views, in lush gardens, and that in comparison with these exceptional places, our modest Moroccan house will have seemed just acceptable to you. You see, I'm very sorry for you.
