Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing to add here, it was perfect. Note there’s a steady pace about the place so don’t expect anything to be done in a rush.
Incredible rural location and architecture. Unique stay here by a short journey from Essaouira by car. Room and bathroom was very clean, well designed and functional. The whole interior design is well presented, felt homely traditional in detail with beautiful communal spaces which have a relaxed and quiet vibe. The outdoor pool looked amazing and next time I visit will be enjoyed! Stunning surroundings. The breakfast made in their own kitchen is vegan and was truly delicious. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the place really is a vibe and you can see the guys are dedicated and thoughtful about their work here.

Breakfast was a highlight under the vines patio by the pool. Honestly, after a couple days we felt at home with our hosts. Dar Omnia feels like a true labor of love and passion and it offers a glimpse of a simple and beautiful life.

One of the most beautiful exceptional stays of my life. I really don't want to give a review as this place has to stay a secret but also wish it success! Everything has been created with high end artistic talent, fit for a 5 star hotel, every single detail. Art, furnishings, architecture, ambience, lighting, comfort, desks to work on, places to find peace. The staff are very relaxed, professional and kind.

FranceThe owners say that the property is not finished but what house is ever finished?! There are small things that could be done though, like lightbulbs replaced on the stairs up to the roof terrace and apparent wiring and bits of metal there to be fixed to have access to another lovely area! The pool was a bit sandy/dusty so could have done with a bit of a clean, though Essaouira is a windy, Sandy place - meaning cleaning is definitely needed a bit more often. There was a team of cleaners for the rooms etc though so no problem there. I'd say the group, who are obviously living very happily in their home, could be a bit more commercial to have greater financial success if they were interested in that. Our first evening I couldn't find anyone downstairs to order food or drinks from or to talk to! It didn't really matter but was surprising and a little disappointing. On the 2nd evening there were more people around so that was good. I guess it's a different culture and way of life though. Still someone on reception duty is often useful! I made sure to ask who would be around day 2 and we had a lovely late dinner and then someone was up at 6am to make sure our taxi arrived and we got off safely the next morning so that was lovely! It's definitely a different pace of life which is good after the busy town and Media. Slow-cooking is promoted for example. I asked about shampoo and shower-gel the first day but to no avail. There was plenty of soap in the bathrooms but the site shouldn't state 'free toiletries' if that's not the case. Take your own shampoo or let your hair recover for a few days (as I did!). We had a great experience in an amazing Country with a different culture but parts very similar to our own. Thankyou again.
Imposing property. Beautiful in a great location: outside of town but only a 15 - 20 minute drive away. 10 minutes from the Essaouira Fromagerie, which is definitely worth a visit. There is also vineyard you can visit but this was closed for lack of customers during our stay. Dar Omnia is run by a group of very friendly young people who are happy to chat to guests, are helpful with suggestions for activities locally and all seem able to cook! The food available was always delicious and prepared with care and attention to detail. There is a fireplace in the big lounge area and a fire was lit on our first night there which is always welcome. There is a lovely pool behind the property if you can brave the cool water (I did) and plenty of quiet areas. Beds very comfortable. Rooms and bathrooms spacious. We had a dressing too. We had a lovely peaceful stay. The place was not too busy and that was what I was looking for. Thank you all. The group could find themselves very busy in the near future with the production of another 'Troy' film starting just down the road on the beach about an hours hike away. The hotel would also be great for yoga retreats or Company events although there are not many bedrooms available.

FranceOur fault for not having done our research but our visit coincided with the major religious festival in Morocco. A couple of weeks before going to Morocco, I had previously asked if we could decide to hire a car once we arrived and was told there would be absolutely no problem - no mention. If this major long holiday weekend!. However, on arrival we were told that it would be impossible to get a car for love nor money because of the holiday! This holiday w/end also meant that most of the hotel staff were off including no cook for two nights. Youssef and Ali did their best to help all they could - Youssef took us to a restaurant nearby on the first night and came to pick us up again - but there was no housekeeping for our 5 day stay and they ran out of mint tea! Breakfast was OK but could benefit from some fruit juice/fresh fruit. As I said, the timing was unfortunate and Youssef and Ali did their very best - I am sure that when it is running on full steam, it would be great.
All in all it's a lovely place although showing signs of wear and tear. The location is wonderfully peaceful but is still exposed to the Essaouira winds.
