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.).

Verified reviewThe owner and her eldest daughter are very nice. They have a dog and a cat that is so much fun to play with. The elder daughter made an extremely helpful guide that we really appreciate. The bed is extremely soft, and the hotel itself is very beautiful. It’s remotely 20 mins walk for a lot of amazing things like beach and nice restaurants. The lady who makes the breakfast, and the women who serves the breakfast is really nice as well! I’m allergic to nuts and the lady who makes the breakfast accommodated that and made me a separate breakfast.
The room is advertised as much larger than it actually is. The rooms are extremely tiny and not worth the price point in USD. They include breakfast, but there is very rarely any protein in the breakfast so you’re left hungry. Although the pool was gorgeous, the pool was not clean. We were promised a late check out by the owner yet one of the staff members made us checkout early despite the previous approval by the owner. The younger girl who works the night shift is slighty hostile, but it could just be an off set. Only the owner and her daughter speak English, so it was really hard to communicate with staff.

Verified reviewWell located, clean, nice pool, quiet, easy check in and check out, flexible, nice breakfast. The room was super comfortable and it was just what I needed to spend a few days getting some mental rest break. The bathroom was also amazing and a nice terrace. Taxis come very easy and it is cheap to move around the city.

Verified reviewThe hotel is wonderful and very chic. Very comfortable clean rooms and facilities. The staff are quite lovely and helpful, but since no one spoke English, it was quite hard to communicate given that my French is limited to nonexistent.
Although the breakfast includes typical Tunisian food, a wider selection would be most welcomed.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was lovely
The rooms were small not much room given the price. Also, we said we were coming late and then attempted to call many times from the cab to get clearer directions and now one answered. Then was asked to pay the staff when I checked in at 2am.
Dear Lorraine We’re glad you liked our breakfast and are sorry you found the room smaller than expected. As of our check in hours policy, a couple of days prior to your arrival we send an automatic message to inform about our late check in applied extra fees. Our last employee leaves at midnight and the late check in fee is destined to pay for her over hours.

Verified reviewThis is my second time staying in Dar Souad, and once again, I had a wonderful experience. I came for work, but also to enjoy the beauty and charm of Tunis, and this location truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel feels like an oasis - it's so peaceful and quiet, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and proximity to the city. The atmosphere is incredibly homely, which made me feel comfortable and at ease during my stay. It’s rare to find such a warm, welcoming place that feels like a true retreat, especially when you're traveling alone. One thing I particularly love is supporting a woman-owned business. It’s inspiring to see the dedication and care put into this place, and it adds a special touch to the entire experience. The area also felt very safe, which is so important when you're traveling by yourself. I highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Tunis, whether for work or leisure. It’s an incredible gem in the heart of La Marsa!
all good

Verified reviewThe hotel was described by one visitor "an oasis in the middle of La Marsa", and it held true to it's word. The entire experience at DarSouad was amazing - from the friendly staff to the lovely traditional breakfast every morning, which changed every day depending on the fresh fruit of the time and various kinds of breads. We loved every part of our stay. Special thanks to Nour, who checked us in and who we chatted with every evening upon return to the hotel. She was extremely helpful and even helped me lug my way too heavy suitcase to the second floor. When I return to Tunis (and I will) I will be staying here. Thanks to ALL the amazing staff who made our stay extra special.

Verified reviewIn the heart of La Marsa, this hidden gem is gonna be our first choice when visiting Tunisia again. Calm, clean, staff extremely polite, and amazing clean food! We enjoyed the authentic Tunisian style garden or terrace and made friends with the hostel’s doggy mascot Willy - an old gentle soul he is.
There is not lift - but the again it's not a disabled friendly country in general

Verified reviewAmazing hosts. In this hotel you feel like you are part of the family while having your own space and privacy. We had a fun cooking class with the owner Raja. They have a lovely cat and dog. The team is super friendly, the breakfast amazing and the property beautiful. Thank you so much!
The pillows could be a bit softer and the shower flooded easily

Verified reviewFeriel and her staff and dog are excellent: warm, relatable, and proficient at their jobs (the dog's job is to chase the cat!). The courtyard of the hotel is beautiful and the little pool would be a treat to dip into in the springtime. The bed chamber is nice, and the bed comfortable. I'm not a big fan of the hotel's style of bathroom -- completely open -- but I suppose some people are.
The item that upset me a bit is that there was no fire alarm in my room, and to be honest, I felt the place was a bit of a fire trap. I was on the third floor, the top floor, and I think there was only one way out... After the recent fire in Turkey, the owner should have a PLAN.
