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...).

United States of AmericaThis hotel was a true gem. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, all our questions answered and told “you are home.” The concierge/owner(?) even helped us find a driver to take us back to Marrakech at a reasonable price the next day! Our room was beautiful, with fantastic views of the ocean. We made the excellent decision to book a hammam treatment and massage at their spa. The prices were fair and the treatment fantastic. When we return to Essaouira this will definitely be where we stay!!!!!

SwitzerlandThe breakfast service was a little long on the second day, but not too much. The safe in the room didn't work but there is no problem with security in this lovely Riyad.
Breakfast was delicious! All ingredients were "home made" (even the yoghurt on the first day) and it was more than plentiful! It is served on your table (not as a buffet). As there was a lot of wind on our two-day stay, we had breakfast inside the little room on the roof-top terrace. The terrace is certainly wonderful for breakfast a little later in the year: we stayed from 2nd to 4th March. The fruit was freshly cut to a small fruit salad, bread was toasted and other pastries ( neither salty nor sweet) were freshly made. You can also ask for eggs any style. Jam, honey and a special Moroccan argan oil-honey-almond paste mixture were delicious! The orange juice was freshly pressed and lovely, and Moroccan tea was also served. We enjoyed our healthy and delicious breakfasts. Our room was beautifully decorated: 1 comfortable double-bed, two lovely blue chairs with a round mosaïque table as "lounge", a beautiful old-style built-in cupboard including a safe (which unfortunately didn't open...), a Moroccan-style bathroom with lovely shower and body-lotion products and a "separate" toilette were perfect. The roof-top terrace was wonderful! A direct view onto the Atlantic Ocean, with sun-beds and tables and chairs. You can enjoy peaceful hours there, with just the sound of the ocean and the sea-gulls. The Riyad is very pretty: Moroccan lamps, precious carpets on the wall, and what impressed us most of all was the delicious dinner we enjoyed at the Riyad, made by the "manager-cook". Staff was wonderful! We also enjoyed a relaxing massage at the Riyad. Situated in the Medina, this Riyad is very well situated: calm but in the centre of all activities. We would return there any time! And recommend it to anyone who is looking for beauty, calm and wonderful staff at great prices. We also loved the "house-cat" Perle! Staff were wonderful! We felt totally at home!

United KingdomThere is absolutely nothing that could have been better!
We honestly had the best time at Riad Perle d'Eau. From the minute we arrived we were so well looked after by Ismaail and the team at the Riad. They were all so kind and caring and extremely helpful. Special thanks to Zeneb who organised taxis, horse riding, quad biking etc for us and was just so lovely! The evening meal we had and all the breakfasts were delicious. The attention to detail - beautiful comfy beds, crisp cotton sheets, luxurious fluffy towels, gorgeous rooms all helped to make our stay extra special. We had a hammam and massage in the Spa which was fabulous and such a treat! And we really loved Pearl, the Riad's cat - she was very cute and friendly. The location is perfect - we had a room overlooking the beach and it was fabulous to hear the waves when you opened the window. It's a nice walk around the Medina and onto the larger beach. We loved Essaouira - very relaxed vibe and lovely people. Couldn't recommend Riad Perle d'Eau enough - you'll love it! Thanks to all there for making our stay so fantastic.

United States of AmericaThe riad is located on the old fortress/city walls right on the Atlantic Ocean. Highly recommend taking an oceanside room. The view from these rooms is fantastic. Breakfast was served on the rooftop terrace, which also has an ocean view. We traveled through Morocco for 22 days, staying in 14 different riads and kasbahs. We both agreed that Essaouira was our favorite city.

United States of AmericaThe ocean view from our bedroom was fantastic. The waves come right up to the Riyad facade at high tide and when we opened the windows, we not only had the view but also the sounds of the sea. The roof deck with lounge chairs which also accommodates the breakfast area is wonderful.
