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 reviewExcellent camp base to visit Essaouira.. the Appartement is big, clean and a couple of minutes away from the beach. 15 min walk to the medina. They are a lot of cheap little restaurants in the direct vicinity of the place. Possibility to park the car in front of the house - big plus for us and great rooftop terrasse. A big thank you for the staff of the appartement who were super helpful and kind.

Verified reviewLocation was good, close to the beach and the boardwalk into town. Easy walking distance to the medina and felt safe.
The doors in the apartment were very creaky. We had children with us which made it noisy to use the bathroom/kitchen when they were asleep

Verified reviewHost Naima was very humble, kind and helpful lady. Flat was very clean and comfortable to our standard. It was just about 1 min walk from local restaurants and beach. She offered to clean flat everyday and we could ask her maid that was amazing. Maid would do our washing our clothes. So this service was very good. I enjoyed my 3 days stay.
Everything was nice but it was on first floor and I think people with disability may not be suitable. Other wise its very good location and nice clean flat.

Verified reviewClose to nice cafes and restaurant The cleaners were helpful and friendly
The terrance is not part of the apartment unit, another level and shared with other residents. Laundry facility also outside the apartment unit Internet connection - connection only certain area in the unit. No connection in master bedroom or living room. Lacking in basic hospitality items. No soap, shampoo, or even basic condiments like sugar, salt & pepper.

Verified reviewCleaners were very friendly! This review has nothing to do with them. They were great.
Rooftop was nothing like the pictures. There was nothing there. Just a space where you can walk. Not beds or parasols or tables. On top of that our room smelled like a smoking denn. It was really wretched. Everytime we walked in it was like we walked into a bar full of smoke. The owner was friendly but also didn't really acknowledge our issues. She just mentioned the previous guests probably smoked in the apartment. Uh well ok? Thanks

Verified reviewLocation is very near to beach and walking distance (15 mins) to Medina, citadel, fishing ports and Souk. Place is clean and comfortable, owner is nice, helpful and responsive.
Basic facilities, no shower gei or shampoo. No air conditioning but the weather is such that we didn't really need it. There is no lifts so those with mobility issues and heavy bags would struggle.

Verified reviewLocation was great right by the sea and a nice easy stroll to the Medina. The kitchen equipment was amazing ! The host is very friendly.
Unfortunately the smell coming from the bathroom was……politely put unpleasant. It was as if you were sleeping next to a rubbish tip. The pictures are also misleading. There are 2 out of action sun loungers and few tables with 4 chairs available on the terrace. There were another couple enjoying sunset and we were standing as there was nowhere to sit…

Verified reviewVery large apartment, great (equipped!) kitchen and superb location. We found the stay very enjoyable. All facilities are nearby (supermarket, restaurants) and it is next to the beach. Would come back!
The street has a small rough patch where some homeless people seem to accumulate at times. We never felt unsafe though.

Verified reviewVery nice and clean apartment, nicely situated with great sun deck on the ceiling.
Even though it is nicely situated the trash dumpsters at the nearest lot was far from attractive. A minor thing was that we would preferred softer beds. Overall it is a very good and well equipped apartment for the price.
