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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyWe would have enjoyed a bigger and more varied breakfast. This doesn't mean the breakfast was not good and tasty. The only other thing I have to point out, mainly for long-haired people, is a complaint from my girlfriend about the shower. Having long hair and needing to wash it, she experienced many drops in water pressure until not spraying water at all a couple times, and also the water temperature going from very hot to very cold. Everything else was fantastic
The Beldy is in a strategic position inside the medina of Essaouira. The staff is full of young and very nice people who speak good English like Reda and Ashraff, who were always attentive on all our requests. The riad is really nice and cozy, with our bedroom being a light-blue walled one with a super nice brown tadelakt bathroom and a lot of natural light. The rooftop terrace where we had breakfast was also very nice. Well protected on most sides, we never felt cold there even though the weather in Essaouira is almost always windy.

FranceThe other guests were a bit rowdy/our room only had windows to internal staircase so no privacy / sound barrier. Our shower was very smelly and we had nowhere to hang clothes but everything else was clean.
Traditional architecture, a bit more of a side street but close to everything. Lots of space on ground floor, rooftop doesn’t have a view but breakfast was served up there which was a typical meal of carbo items.

The location is perfect. The room was a bit dark during the daytime but perfect for sleeping at night, and also protected from external noise. Breakfast was nice and the staff was kind.

United KingdomRiad Beldy was perfect for our group of 4 staying in Essaouira for a couple of nights. The room was cute, clean, and spacious enough. Towels were provided, there were hooks and shelves for clothes, and the WiFi worked well. We especially liked the breakfast, which was included, that had a generous window of 8:30-11:30. The Riad has a lovely roof terrace, the staff were very nice, and all in all I would really recommend it for those on a budget.

TurkeyWifi was not working in the room, there is no separate shower in the bathroom, this created a problem. We couldn't go out to the terrace whenever we wanted, it was closed at some hours. There is not enough space to put stuff in the room. This is a problem especially in a room for 4 people. There is no equipment for heating, and there may be problems with cooling in summer.
Breakfast was nice, the terrace was very pleasant. The location is amazing, the price is very cheap compared to the location and it pays off.

United StatesThe room was quite dark and it seems like the facilities haven't been updated in a while. Also the bathroom was quite small, and there wasn't any sort of barrier for the shower, so it was impossible to shower without getting water all over the bathroom floor.
