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 review- great location - our private room was nice (but did share one bathroom with all of the dorm rooms which is a lot of people)
- felt a bit uneasy here as the guy behind reception walked into our room (private double) when the door was unlocked (because one of us was in the bathroom). He just turned around and apologised, no explanation... He was very chatty before this happened but seemed to avoid us afterwards. Just a bit weird. If I wasn’t in the room, would he have gone in? What was he doing!!! The streets are also really loud at night which obviously is not the hostels fault, but something to keep in mind.. Also expect a basic breakfast

Verified reviewThe double bed was comfortable and it was very quiet at night! People there was nice and kind.
There were 2 bathrooms just for more than 30 people or more. They were not really cleaned. Bring always your flip flops!The shower was in the same place as the toilet. The breakfast was ok.

Verified reviewThe staff was excellent, the hostel is not crazy-loud but has enough people coming through for there to be a nice social atmosphere. The private room that I stayed in had windows on either side so it was nice and bright inside.
The bathrooms in the private rooms do not have a separate shower cabin; you’re literally showering standing next to the toilet while holding the showerhead over your head (there’s nowhere to hang it up on the wall either). The matress was fine for me but I can imagine it being a bit hard for other people.

Verified reviewI liked the atmosphere, which is very friendly, the staff is cool, you feel like if you are home or even better, the place is clean, I felt so free and comfortable. This will be my choice when I will visit Essaouira city again.
Nothing, everything was just amazing.

Verified reviewThere are lots of good things about this hostel - it's super cheap, located right in the heart of the Medina, it has a really nice rooftop and a nice downstairs area to meet people and does an excellent breakfast (with a choice of options so you'll not get bored of the same one every day)... But by far the best thing is the staff - I had such a good time hanging out with Suuf, Omar, Sfax and Biggie - I'll be back again!
