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 reviewLocation was spectacular. We were close by everything and easy to get to. Well worth the money.
The place was very eclectic, the dining area opens up to the apartments above. So when they turn their lights on it, lights up the apartment below. It was just surprising. Nothing we couldn’t live with.

Verified reviewUncomfortable double bed, big dip in the middle, so we ended up sleeping on 2 single beds pushed together in the other bedroom. Unconventional living room, to say the least... above the big dining table in between the bedrooms, silling goes up all the way to the top floor with other apartment windows on the side. They can hear you, you can hear them, and whatever they're cooking, lingers in the apartment. We stayed during Ramadam, which meant from 6 to 8 we were up due to noises from cooking, talking, everyone using showers and toilets which meant no hot water on our last day in the morning. Second night we had to close the bedroom doors which meant it was hot and stuffy all night. Lighter in the kitchen for the cooker didn't work, water pressure wasn't the best, tap in the toilet kept falling off... and overall smell of dump, no natural/direct light and mold on the wall made us not want to stay there just sleep

A bit noisy and very bright during the night (from street lights) - curtains would be nice. The terrace is in somewhat poor condition

Here are some highlights: **Host Communication:** The host, abdessamad and AziA , were very responsive and helpful. They provided clear instructions for check-in and were available for any questions during my stay. **Value for Money:** Considering the location and amenities, I felt the price was reasonable. **Overall Experience:** I would highly recommend home with sea view to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay in Essaouira I would definitely return!

Verified reviewI recently stayed at home with a sea view for only one night and had a wonderful experience. Here are some highlights: **Location:** The apartment is situated at the heart of the medina vibrant area close to restaurants, shops, and public transportation]. This made it super convenient to explore the city. **Cleanliness:** The apartment was very clean and well-maintained. I appreciated the attention to detail in the cleaning process.

Verified reviewNothing!
I cannot express how disappointed I am with this accommodation. My stay here was an absolute nightmare, and I feel compelled to warn others to avoid booking this apartment at all costs. First and foremost, the listing is completely misleading. The title and description boast a "sea view," but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The apartment is on the ground floor, and the only window is a tiny, jail-like opening, positioned so high up that you can see nothing out of it. Even if you manage to clime and open it (which is a struggle), it overlooks a very narrow, unappealing lane. To make matters worse, the photos on the listing are clearly taken from the roof of the building (5th floor), showing a sea view that has absolutely nothing to do with the apartment. After climbing several flights of poorly maintained, tiring stairs, you arrive at a deserted, empty roof with no facilities whatsoever. By the time you get there, you’ll have no desire to even look at the sea. It’s a blatant attempt to mislead guests, and it’s unacceptable. The problems didn’t stop there. During my stay, there was a water outage, leaving me without running water for hours. Cannot use the toilet, shower, wash or even brush my teeth. The toilet is dirty and poorly maintained, and the water tap in the sink was broken, making it difficult to use. The table in the apartment is in bad cracking condition. However, the worst part of my stay was the overwhelming chemical smell that permeated the entire apartment. It was so strong and unpleasant that I couldn’t bear to stay inside. I had to leave after a long day and search for an alternative accommodation, as the smell made it impossible to relax or even breathe comfortably. When I raised these issues with the landlady and requested a refund for the night I couldn’t stay, she refused outright. Her lack of empathy and unwillingness to take responsibility for the poor conditions was schocking. I strongly do not advise anyone to consider it.
