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...).

I loved the decor at the property. The beautiful authentic Moroccan decor added to the holiday experience. The staff were so kind, extremely helpful & welcoming whether it were early mornings, midday or late evenings. The beds were so comfortable, the en-suite was gorgeous & the rooftop lounge was spacious & open at all hours allowing us to rewind at the end of the night, meet and chat with other guests. Loved every moment staying in this hotel. Oh and the location was bang on in the medina, allowing us to explore the shops & cafes on our doorstep.

SwedenThe shower in the bathroom made the bathroom wet and was in a way pretty useless, especially since it messes up the electricity in the room with the spreading humidity after only a short shower session. Bed was not stable and squeaky, no good comfort but OK for the two nights we stayed.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Perfect location in the very city centre. Nice and cozy interior style. Nice rooftop terrace. Breakfast good for people who like sweet breakfast.

United KingdomThe place was good for 2 nights with family. However, any longer, it would be better to book elsewhere. The bathroom was ok, however, could do with improving and better cleaning.
The location was great, and the friendliness of staff was excellent. The owner/manager would go out of his way to help us. The breakfast served in the morning was amazing. They gave more food than we could eat and drink.

This was my first time in Essaouira and I was a little bit concerned about my host. However, Cavernd d'Ali Baba was the right decision. The staff was what I liked most. They were super nice to us in everything. Our triple bedroom was very clean and they cleaned it every morning. Location is great and everything is close by. Breakfast: what I can say, this is espectacular. You will enjoy it. I am sure that when I return to Esaouira, I will come back to this hostal again.

United KingdomThese are only small negatives. Our room was made up every day (apart from the beginning but I think this was something to do with Eid) but it would have been nice to have fresh bedding as we were there for 10 nights. We had towels replaced daily though. The breakfast was really nice and traditional. It would have been nice to have a little variety though. Sometimes we were given fruit but more fruit would have been nice or some yoghurt etc.
The location was excellent. Right in the medina and a short walk from the beach. There are modern coffee shops and traditional restaurants right on the doorstep. The room was lovely and had a window which was nice (some of the rooms in the riad do not). The host and other staff were always available, helpful and polite. The breakfast was generous and kept us filled for the day.
