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...).

FranceWe slept super comfortably even though our baby woke us up a couple of times in the night. The room is spacious and nicely decorated, with a good eye for matching details! We enjoyed the Moroccan breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the beach of Essaouira .. We’ll definitely come back! On arrival we got given a map of Essaouira with many special (local) recommendations. Thanks!

LithuaniaWe booked 4 riads, while travelling in Morocco, all were good, but this one is totally the best! Beautiful design, friendly stuff, good breakfast on the sunny rooftop terrace with beautiful ocean view. Room had much space and the balcony. Location is also very good. I would definately stay there again!

United KingdomNothing - just a note that you will need cash to pay tourist tax even if the room is already paid for.
Stunning Riad located in a quiet street but still in the heart of the medina. Recommend the rooms with a sea view as the afternoon sun will hit the room nicely. Lovely hosts who let us drop our bags earlier than the check-in time and had them waiting in our room once we came back after lunch. They also cooked us breakfast 30 minutes early as we had an early flight. Breakfast served upstairs with a view of the beach. Comfy bed with great quality bedding! Felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.

KazakhstanLoved everything about Chems Bleu, location is just perfect, next to the Bab Marrakech, which is in the Medina but not in the busy center of it! Staff is so caring and kind, shout out to Soufiane! The view from the rooftop is breathtaking, enjoyed it while having a very good breakfast! The room was spotless and very clean! The riad itself is nice and cozy!

United KingdomA bit of disturbance from outside the walls a couple of times. This was late at night and not too much of a problem.
What was there not to like. From the moment we walked through the door,we knew it was going to be a great place to stay. Fatima and Soufiane were great hosts who made us very welcome and were incredibly helpful. The whole team is very friendly. Our room on the ground floor was spacious with a good bathroom. Having direct access to the outside terrace is invaluable when all you need is a quiet moment to read. Breakfasts on the roof terrace were plentiful and very tasty. Everything is freshly made,including the orange juice. Cleanliness is definitely a priority. Everything is spotless !! The location is also good within the city walls,giving easy access to the medina or beach. There are plenty of very good restaurants and cafes nearby. Having stayed in Essaouira a few times,I would say this is my favourite and would be very happy to return.

United KingdomThe room said it was garden view, which we assumed was just internal facing. It ended up being on the ground floor, which we did not expect and would not have initially booked. It ended up being fine, but we would have happily paid more for another room on another floor.
We were greeted by tea when we arrived and very nice staff, it was a great location and the garden was stunning, the whole riad was very well laid out and lovely. The breakfast area was fabulous with great views and safe from the wind with massive windows. Would stay again in a heartbeat if going back to Essaouira.

United KingdomLovely riad in the medina of Essaouira. Perfect location for exploring the medina and the port. Our room had its own terrace with a view of the medina walls and the sea. The breakfast was served on the roof terrace and it was excellent - lots of choice and delicious food. The rooms were arranged around a beautiful inner courtyard.

United KingdomThe mattresses in the room had sunk in the middle. Toppers were in place but the bed wasn’t brilliantly comfortable overall.
We had a really nice time at this Riad and were really impressed by the room and the rooftop terrace. All of the staff were lovely and the breakfast provided was excellent: there’s even an option for more tea throughout the day to enjoy in your room or on the terrace. The staff were very communicative ahead of our stay too.
