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.).

SingaporeNothing I didnt like actually but Just sharing this info as some may find it useful. Typically in most Riads there is no air-conditioning so just be aware of your personal preference. Room was a little stuffy due to the ocean humidity but not hot even in the height of summer. We opened the window a little and could hear the ocean which was loud but it was wonderful. We booked the ocean facing room and understood what we were getting from past comments.
We have been to Essaouira mamy times so when we came across this Riad it was something to give us a different experience and the view when we walked into our room took our breath away. It was spectacular. The rocks, beach, ocean and views od the old city and walls. The staff were all excellent, kind, helpful and made us feel very comfortable, really very good. When we arrived for check in it was smooth and informative. The team sent tea to our room and a lovely fruit basket. Room was very spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was good and when we wanted some of the local breads (in addition to what was provided) the staff went and bought some for us. Bed was huge and very comfortable. The terrace and dinner at the rooftop is modern and beautiful and had lovely views across the rooftops or ocean. The lobby also was beautiful and traditional Riad style. Great location for exploring the Kasbah, streets and main square. Overall we loved the Riad.

Comfortable, clean, and with a lift! I arrived last minute after another hotel let me down and was met by Karim, who was personable and very friendly. The next day, there was a particularly nice young lady on reception. She was extremely helpful and kind and went out of her way to help. I cannot thank the staff enough

United KingdomShower over awkward bath with no shower curtain. It was also extremely difficult to maintain a constant temperature, so shower water temperature kept switching from very cold to extremely hot which was unwelcome. No fridge in room was a nuisance.
Beautiful Riad, next to the sea. We watched the changing tides for hours with armchairs in front of the floor to ceiling windows. Staff were extremely helpful and very kind. Our bedroom was enormous, and very comfortable. Bathroom was a good size. Breakfast was plentiful, and evening dinners on roof terrace were reasonably priced with a good selection of meals.

IcelandShower can be improved, should be better. Breakfast a little monotonous, some variation might be good. TV channels not up to standard, hardly possible to watch any news and football games only available in the lobby.
The view from the room was marvelous. Location in the Medina is brilliant. Room was very good, exactly what we were looking for. Balcony was nice but normally a little to windy to enjoy it to the full. Breakfast is good, recommend the mynte tea. All in all, hotel is comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and service is fine.
