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 reviewOur stay at this beautiful dar, located in the heart of the Medina, was truly enjoyable. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The property was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with great attention to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend this dar to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
There was only a thin curtain in the bathroom, and the window directly faced another house with a rooftop terrace. In the evenings, people who live in that house were on the terrace and could see into both our room and the bathroom. For privacy and comfort, a thicker curtain or better window covering would have been appreciated.

Verified reviewSumptuous breakfasts with delicious fresh fruits, airy quiet rooms, tasteful decor, close to the main shopping streets. Essential to have a superior room with exterior windows.
Small showers. Better not visit Essaouira if you are allergic to cats.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel in a surprisingly quiet location. Great breakfast each morning and many other eating options only a short walk away.
The shower didn't have a curtain, meaning the bathroom and bathmat got soaked every time we showered.

Verified reviewThe downstairs was nice and cozy and the styling of the rooms was good.
Note that there is no air conditioning and no in-room fan. You basically have to sleep with the window open to keep things cool — and that means city noise, early bird squawking, prayers, and a lot of cat fights. The bathroom facilities were a little grubby and our shower had a broken overhead spigot so you had to use the wand — and the wand’s attachment to the wall was broken which made it hard to shower.

Verified reviewGreat Ryad, great host, great room. The host is adorable and here to give a lot of advice which really improved our stay. The hotel is close to a door of the Medina which is convenient if you plan to go out of the Medina during the evening.
Farther away of main attractions of the Medina(from 10 to 30min), felt like a bit out the the touristic center of the Medina

Verified reviewBreakfast was delicious. The staff was very accommodating. They brought our heavy luggage up to our rooms (there is not elevator) and assisted with medication storage.
The room was small but clean however the bathroom needed a deep clean particularly the shower which had mildew in the tile grout. Also, the walking path leading to the hotel was under construction....all the walking areas up to the hotel were ripped up so accessing the hotel was extremely difficult. Hotel should have emailed all prospective guests to let us know.

Verified reviewSmall boutique hotel with good breakfast included
Very difficult to get suitcases there bc it was a dirt road that wasn’t paved. No AC (forgot to check that prior to booking) and bathrooms were very outdated. Entrance to hotel was in a small alley and surrounding area was very unkempt.

Verified reviewThis is a very quiet place with very friendly and nice staff. Cozy. You can drink tea or coffee right away. A place to relax in the noisy medina. Delicious and big breakfast. Beautifully decorated rooms. Nice atmosphere.
Old plumbing. View from the window. Water pressure. Steep stairs, but that's the case in almost all riads.
