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):
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.
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.).

SwitzerlandNot sure about other properties in the coast, humidity has its tolls, in this case the smell of mold / humidity was quite strong (never got used to it). Perhaps some airing would help.

SpainIt's nothing I didn't like.
The location was excellent, right in the middle of the Medina on one of the main streets., easy to walk to the beach. The staff was very nice and attentive. The decoration of the Riad was great, very modern but Moroccan, it felt very fresh. The Riad organised for us horse back riding and surfing. Both activities with very nice third parties.

Portugal- No lift, but the staff helped carry our suitcase up - Pretty basic breakfast - The worse was that the pressure of our shower was very unpredictable. We had a lot of issues taking showers. This is really an issue that needs to be addressed by the hotel, as starting a shower then losing all pressure, having to go down to reception, and the continuing, is a big pain especially in winter when it's cold
- Staff was very kind and helpful - Price was reasonable for the location and space, especially at year end

Great spot. Really lovely people and place. Relaxed atmosphere and good vibes. Friendly breakfasts and I attended a special supper one night. It was delicious. Fresh local food, tagines of beef, dates and pine nuts; chicken; plus vegetarian, rounded off with a variety of salads. V.good. v.locale.

IrelandOn arrival one of the towels had rust stains on it but this was quickly changed once mentioned to the staff. Unfortunately our beds felt a little damp, my 7yr old described it as feeling sticky and on further inspection the mattresses were worn and torn. We decided to check out after 1 night despite booking for 2 as the state of the mattress left us feeling very disappointed. The staff were very helpful and refunded the cost of the second night. Overall we liked the Riad and feel with some minor changes such as fresher towels and newer mattresses with protectors would really upgrade this property, but felt that due to these minor issues we couldn't stay with small children
Lovely Riad on the main street in Essaouira. Stayed in 2 rooms on first floor with my husband and 4 children. The reception area is very welcoming and has a lovely Boho backpacker feel to it. There are couches, a coffee machine and an area to play chess. The reception staff were very welcoming and check in was quick and efficient. The rooms were bright and spacious for the property. The bathrooms were decorated beautifully and the rooms had a lovely quirky feel to them. Breakfast was on the rooftop terrace and consisted of coffee, orange juice breads and jams. It's very windy so a jumper was needed as breakfast area quite shaded in the morning.

United StatesWe have been staying at riads nearly double the price so have gotten used to thick high quality sheets/pillows. These sheets were old and thin enough to see the mattress with a faint smell of a man’s cologne. Aside from that, really cute/hip decor. I would stay there again. The kids loved it with access to view the busy street outside the window.
Fantastic location in the heart of the action.
