Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyBreakfast was served and not a buffet, but it was still a good variation,
The room with the view to the sea was awesome! Very nice to listen even to the sound of the waves below your window... Comfortable bed and clean room. Breakfast is served on the roof top where you can also relax and enjoy the panorama view. Very friendly employees and all in the bets stay during my time in Marocco!

Everything. Great location, stunning city. The view from our room was magical (directly over the city walls and on to the beach on 2 sides) and waking up to the sunrise and the sound of the sea was just dreamy. There's a lovely rooftop restaurant and outdoor space. The staff were so helpful and kind making our stay magical and perfect for a surprise proposal!

United KingdomAt this price point, replace the (understandably) rusted bathroom bin and some threadbare towels. Also did not appreciate one of the guys at reception being a bit fresh with me (not the young bespectacled gentleman – he was always kindly and welcoming) – if I ask for new Wifi codes because the previous ones have stopped working, I do not want to be told with a straight face, multiple times, that I cannot get new ones, as a joke. I am generally quite good-humoured about such 'jesting', but as a solo female traveller who looks young, I get quite enough of it walking through the streets and do not need it in a relatively expensive hotel.
As others have said, paying more for the mini-suite with sea view is worth it. Sleeping to the sounds of crashing waves is a rare treat, all the more because short of a villa, most other countries tend to put an un-openable window in such rooms. Bed is comfortable; housekeeping excellent. Bathroom is modern with Moroccan tiles; good water pressure.Staff at reception are professional and discreet – understated but top-notch service. Staff on terrace and at breakfast are friendly too but seem more inexperienced. Breakfast is not the sumptuous feast you might expect of a traditional riad, but then again, Mimouna is really more like a fully-fledged hotel that is architecturally Moroccan.

The view was incredible, and the location of the Riad was in a great spot. It was centrally located and had incredible views from both the room and the rooftop restaurant and patio.

United States of AmericaI hosted a Moroccan Writing Retreat that started in Marrakesh and ended at Riad Mimouna in Essaouira. The property exceeded all of our expectations! Participants had their own spacious, private oceanfront suites. The restaurant and outdoor rooftop space had a panoramic view of The Atlantic Ocean and the Medina. We were near other restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, fishing boats, and the main square near the beach. We had a private dining room for a literary salon where each writer read her work. It was a GREAT choice for a group. None of us wanted to leave! At Southern Girl Gone Global you'll find videos of this property that can't be captured in photos or words.

MoroccoI would like to have a "buffet" for breakfast instead of the way it was. but overall the breakfast was okay. Also, I'd like if the check in time was a bit earlier, I think checking in at 3pm was a bit late, I'd like it was at 1pm for example.
Almost everything. It was really good.
