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...).

New ZealandThe lighting in the room was very bad, and there ìs very little natural light. There is no proper balcony from the room despite what the listing says. Finally the wifi was very weak.
Staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful.

FranceThe other guests were a bit rowdy/our room only had windows to internal staircase so no privacy / sound barrier. Our shower was very smelly and we had nowhere to hang clothes but everything else was clean.
Traditional architecture, a bit more of a side street but close to everything. Lots of space on ground floor, rooftop doesn’t have a view but breakfast was served up there which was a typical meal of carbo items.

United KingdomThe terrace, where breakfast is served could benefit from some refurbishment and attention to detail. But it was good enough.
The location is perfect. The room was a bit dark during the daytime but perfect for sleeping at night, and also protected from external noise. Breakfast was nice and the staff was kind.

United KingdomRiad Beldy was perfect for our group of 4 staying in Essaouira for a couple of nights. The room was cute, clean, and spacious enough. Towels were provided, there were hooks and shelves for clothes, and the WiFi worked well. We especially liked the breakfast, which was included, that had a generous window of 8:30-11:30. The Riad has a lovely roof terrace, the staff were very nice, and all in all I would really recommend it for those on a budget.

TurkeyWifi was not working in the room, there is no separate shower in the bathroom, this created a problem. We couldn't go out to the terrace whenever we wanted, it was closed at some hours. There is not enough space to put stuff in the room. This is a problem especially in a room for 4 people. There is no equipment for heating, and there may be problems with cooling in summer.
Breakfast was nice, the terrace was very pleasant. The location is amazing, the price is very cheap compared to the location and it pays off.

United States of AmericaThe room was quite dark and it seems like the facilities haven't been updated in a while. Also the bathroom was quite small, and there wasn't any sort of barrier for the shower, so it was impossible to shower without getting water all over the bathroom floor.
Location was good in the medina and our room was spacious, beds were comfortable. Staff were all very kind and helpful.

CanadaThe upper loft in our room, Room 5, felt a little dangerous with the steep stairs and very low railing. The bathroom was quite tight and the shower is not separate so everything gets wet. There was only a tiny bar of soap provided. Other rooms were much nicer, we loved the hotel just wish we had booked a room with a different layout.
The riad was in the perfect location in the medina. The building and rooms are beautifully decorated and inviting. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot. The breakfast was the perfect start to our day. Essaouira is a beautiful place and we loved our stay.
