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 AmericaWe were given a different room than the one we'd booked, and this change wasn't acknowledged by the owners. We didn't complain because the new room was comparable, although the specific amenities were different, and we'd already settled in by the time I realized the switch had happened. But it should have been cleared with us before it happened.
We had a nice room. The breakfast on the terrace was good. The staff were helpful.

There is a great rooftop with views over the town where they serve an amazing breakfast. We had a very early check out and they prepare a breakfast to go for us! We also used them for the Hammam which was absolutely amazing wide very good price.

ChileAbsolutely not their fault but it was very windy. Apparently Essaouira is a windy little town. The presence of Portuguese architecture makes the town quite unique.
Very good breakfasts. Extremely polite and attentive staff. The room is adequate in size with modern bathroom hardware and reliable water. The Villa is well placed in the town: close to everything yet very quiet. The staff took care of all our needs and provided useful information. If you have balance issues request a room on a lower floor. Though the terrace is charming it is a long way up.

NetherlandsBe ready to climb some steps to enjoy the breakfast on the rooftop. For us it wasn’t a problem, our room was also on the rooftop and we totally enjoyed it. The breakfast could have a little bit more of variety.
The staff were super friendly and helpful day and night. The riad was charming and in a great location in the middel of the medina, walking distance to souks, restaurants and beach. Very spacious room in the rooftop, very comfortable bed, nice shower and toiletries. Wifi just a bit slow in the rooftop.
