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 reviewThis is a lovely property, very well maintained and comfortable.
The property is far away from the town and beaches. It is very remote and getting to and from the city is possible only by taxi which costs 40 euro. There are no options for food other than what is prepared in the property, which limits flexibility.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of your stay. We are delighted that you found our establishment charming and comfortable. We would like to clarify that our house is located in the countryside, and it is highly recommended to have a vehicle to facilitate your travels. Information regarding our location is available on our Booking.com page, so that future guests can take this into account when making their reservation. Regarding dining options, we offer meals prepared on-site to ensure the quality and freshness of the ingredients. We understand that this may limit some flexibility, but we strive to create an authentic culinary experience. We hope you had a pleasant stay, and we would be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Asmae

Verified reviewThe house is beautiful and we were looked after exceptionally well. Plus the breakfast was delicious! Its a nature and animal lovers paradise. And don't miss out on the wonderful dinners.
Not a negative at all, just something to know: its best to rent a car. Asmae was so helpful sorting one out for us so you don't need to sort the rental out ahead of arrival.
Thank you very much Jessica! It was a real pleasure to receive you !

Verified reviewIt is an exceptional place, where you can touch the art, because it is almost everywhere ;) We were so lucky to find this place by the chance. Close to Essaouira But located in the calm place. The Appartment was really beautiful and comfortable with really nice surroundings ( pool, roof terrace and the fountain). Staff was really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great. Delicious breakfasts. Highly recommend!
Dear Aleksandra, What a pleasure to read your warm words! We are delighted that your stay with us was such a enriching experience. Knowing that you were able to feel the art that emanates from our place fills us with joy, as this is precisely what we aim to offer our visitors: an immersion in a world where art is omnipresent. Your compliments on the beauty and comfort of the apartment, as well as on our friendly and helpful team, are heartwarming. And what a pleasure to hear that our breakfasts met your expectations! We sincerely hope to welcome you back to our haven of peace, where art and conviviality await. Best regards, Asmae, Lahcen and Mamoun

Verified reviewWe felt very comfortable. 3 weeks became 5, strangers became friends. A quiet oasis of well-being in the countryside, yet only a 20-minute drive from Essaouira. The rooms are very authentically and cosily furnished and the fireplace in the evening invites you to dream. The bed is also extremely comfortable. The roof terrace offers a beautiful view. The breakfast is good and rich. We will be back, we can recommend this accommodation, its owners and staff 100%. Balm and relaxation for the soul. Greetings from Germany and thank you for a wonderful time.
Thank you very much Sabine and Raph. We were happy to welcome you and we will be delighted to see you again here or elsewhere!

Verified reviewIf you are looking for some peace and quiet in exceptional accommodation, Atlantis 12 is the place to be. The welcome and hospitality of the hosts are unforgettable for us. The sleeping room, the sitting area with a small fireplace and the bathroom are very tastefully and beautifully decorated. This also applies to the beautiful and spacious common rooms. Thus, we felt extremely comfortable in the generously laid out property, also, or just because of the very friendly dogs and cats. The incomprehensibly negative assessment of the guest Hans regarding the accommodation is therefore absolutely incomprehensible to us. It is true that the access road to Atlantis 12 is a bit bumpy... but the term "off-road" is pure nonsense... for someone in possession of a driving licence, this should be manageable.
It would be helpful to have a bell at the entrance gate.
Thank you very much for your comment, Michael! It goes straight to our hearts... We will be very happy to see you again, Asmae and Lahcen
