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...).

CanadaStaying at the four floor without elevators. Unfortunately we couldn’t open the windows to get a fresh air from the ocean at night because of the noisy from people playing around the beach. Lack of coziness in the whole apartment.
Location, proximity to the old city and beach. Nice view over the ocean. Very clean building and apartment and helpful staff.

United States of AmericaThe property is nicely located about a 10 minute walk from the city center and Medina. It’s very close to the beach, maybe a three minute walk to the beach. The space is bright and clean. The rooms were spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom had the nicest shower I’ve had in Morocco. There is a very nice terrace on top also. The owner was very helpful and accommodating! She is a fluent English speaker, which was nice for us. The woman who cleans was very friendly and helpful as well.

ItalyInside the apartment was cold and we asked to find a solution but they gave us a heater only the day after, there was no tablecloth, no scottex for the kitchen. One big problem for us was the method of paying, because they want cash, but according to me it is really better when one can pay through the credit card by Booking. I hope they will change the method.
The apartment was perfectly cleaned, the bed and pillow were soft. At the top of the building there is a big terrace where one can see the sky and the sea, in total relaxation.

United KingdomThis isn’t a dislike but disabled people should be aware that the property has 4 floors and no lift. The terrace is obviously on the top floor (with a stunning view). Fortunately I can do stairs slowly but if you can’t manage stairs at all then this probably isn’t the property for you. If you can manage some stairs then request an apartment on the first floor (that’s the lowest floor as there’s nothing on ground floor). The owner was very helpful in trying to accommodate the fact I struggle with lots of stairs.
The property is just one street away from the beach in a very handy location. The place was clean and comfortable. There are several restaurants/cafes close at hand.

The location was perfect because it was close to the medina, to walk there but always wonderful to return to La Galiote for peace. Little shops for daily things and local restaurants at your doorstep. And the marvellous beach of Essaouira only 2 minutes away. I felt as though I could blend in, but best was the hostess, Naima and all her staff .

SpainThe apartment where we stayed was fantastic. The views from the house are wonderful and the area could not be better. I have to highlight the human quality of Naima, our hostess. She helped us in every possible way. We even had a wonderful master class on how to make an authentic Moroccan couscous by Argia, the woman in charge of cleaning the accommodation (sorry if I misspelled the name). Naima also helped us with the transportation back to the Marraketch airport. The apartment is very big, super clean and well cared for. We have been super happy in this house. Hopefully we can come back soon!!!
