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...).

NetherlandsA nice guesthouse in the middle of the Medina. Lots of restaurants at walking distance. Breakfast was good (like most Moroccan breakfasts) on the rooftop terras, which was nice. The staff was very friendly; we felt very welcome. The room was bright, nothing too special but quiet and functional for having a good night sleep. Overall a good experience.

NetherlandsAs with most riads, the house wasn’t super soundproof. It did a great job at blocking out outside noice though.
Beautiful riad in the centre of the medina. Very attentive staff and a very comfortable rooftop terrace. Delicious breakfast served on the terrace as well.

NorwayWe had a fantastic stay at Riad Dar Ory! The staff was super kind and welcoming, and we felt right at home. The facilities were great - warm shower, comfortable bed, warm and clean sheets - which was very welcome after our experiences with other not so good hotels in Morocco. The rooftop is great and the location is perfect, I can only recommend it! Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Essaouira :)

HungaryI can't recall anything.
Dar Ory is located perfectly within the old city walls. It is a family-run dar with an extremely kind owner and a nice and friendly staff. Coming from its background families and kids are welcomed and provided with various amusements (e.g. a cozy reading corner packed with books for the little ones, or a swing in the atrium). The breakfast is generous and very tasty. This is hospitality at its best.

United KingdomNothing. But if we could suggest one thing is placing a sign outside the Riad as we had trouble finding it!
Lovely staff and very homey. It was comfortable and clean. The owner is such a lovely person and took us to the Sunday market outside of the Medina. My kids really enjoyed the stay and the breakfast offered was a nice way to start the day of exploring. A bonus was they allowed us to use their laundry facilities!

GreeceThe floor was old (which was nice) but seemed dirty (it wasn’t but it seemed like it). Maybe the owner could put a layer of gloss on top to preserve the authenticity and clean it easier.
In the heart of Medina of Essaouira, great location. Very friendly and helpful staff.

AustraliaUsing a top sheet under the quilt on the bed would have been good. I don't like sleeping without a top sheet, particularly in hotel situations. Also, when it is really hot, you just want to sleep under the sheet.
