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.).

GermanyThere was no dinner possibility, which wasn't a problem, but there are no restaurants nearby so be prepared.
Beautiful garden, an oasis of green in an otherwise non fertile environment. Outside oriental lights at night. A salon to sit in and drink tea. An excellent breakfast served outside. Really comfortable bed with welcome European style duvet. Friendly staff.

Garden and pool beautiful! Common areas were very nice. Peace and quiet. If you have a car to drive yourself to Essaouira, then this is a place for you. Host and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would stay here again!

NetherlandsNothing much really. You should just be aware that it is 10/15 minutes driving towards the Medina of Essaouira. We liked the silence and calmth of the area and had a rental car, so for us it was great. We had a couple of interruptions of the wifi, nothing sincere though.
We had a 3-night stay at Terrasses Vertes. At first it was a bit difficult to find as we didn't read the instructions, so do that ;) Simon, the host, was super friendly and welcoming. We had had a little issue with our room and after addressing it to Simon, we could get another room which was perfect! Great service. Rooms provide all comforts and the garden/pool area provide a perfect place to relax (in March it was still a bit too cold for a swim, but chilling in the afternoon/evening sun was amazing! Breakfast ist good, didn't try dinner thought (had that in Essaouira).

United KingdomAmazing and quiet villa in the middle of the nowhere and just 15/10 minutes by car from Essaouira (yes, you need a car or you can book a taxi to move). Simon and the staff were kind, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was included and was delicious. The bedroom was big, the beds comfortable and also the bathroom was pretty big with 2 towels and an hairdryer. The garden and the pool were tidy and clean. We really enjoyed our staying in Terrasses vertes. I would reccomende it and I would come back.

United KingdomWe usually book a villa for our family & friends but we decided to try this guest house and we would fully recommend it! All the accommodation has a private feel but spoilt by being looked after (Simon the host could help with or arrange most things) and we loved the breakfasts. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation is spacious, really nicely and lovingly arranged with a modern Moroccan vibe. The communal fridge, kettle and microwave were also useful. Double/Twin room: lovely, with sofa and nice bathroom (private patio); Duplex with 2 separate bedrooms (double bed and double/twin), combined small kitchen and lounge area (private patio); King room: nice bathroom and with very nice terrace overlooking the pool. You can choose to eat lunch and/or dinner here which was a great option (very reasonable price). The grounds are a wonderful green oasis. It was so relaxing. You can choose to be private or we enjoyed talking to the other guests. Essaouira is an easy 10min drive away and a good supermarket is on the way. The town has a big beach with a smart promenade. We loved wondering around the Medina, where there are plenty of nice places to eat. We love this place and looking forward to returning! Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

United KingdomWe don’t drive so we had to get taxis to Essaouira which was 10 euro each way. So you have to take that into consideration when booking. However if you drive then it’s not a problem.
The accommodation was very beautiful. The pool was stunning and the children had the best time jumping in and playing in the pool. We loved the food that was home cooked and really good size portions. The owner was very kind and organised surf lessons for the girls and donkey rides to the beach.

SpainIt is far from the centre (which we knew before but weren’t so prepared for the hassle of taxis - you need to be able to explain how to get there etc as it’s on a side road). It’s 8-10 euros to get into town one way every time but the owner of the hotel gave us the number to a taxi guy who was SO friendly and always came to get us.
Apartment was great, pool was lovely and it’s a wonderful quiet area, so perfect for relaxing and the staff were very friendly and accommodating

AustriaWonderful setting in a quiet area between Val d'Argan and Essaouira. The place is a quiet oasis run by the owner and his team in a relaxed but attentive way. Breakfast by the pool or dinner... every need is catered for... plus there is secure parking on site. If you want to see Essaouira it is about 20 mins away and there is also secure paring in front of the souk. Make sure you also visit the winery in Val d'Argan - a very special place!
