Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesThis is a gorgeous riad in a great location. It is just a few blocks from the heart of the medina, yet it is very quiet. The view from the terrace is amazing. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay. Essaouira was our favorite place in the country.

PortugalI think reserving an ocean view would be best. The room that is not ocean view allowing for the fresh ocean air was stuffy. A fan would be useful.

Beautiful room with the best ocean view. The decor of the room was beautiful and the staff were helpful and welcoming. The breakfast view was great. Food was good too. It’s a Riad and you have to go through Medina which can be a bit challenging but absolutely fun to walk in the Medina.

IndiaA tea/coffee kettle and a minibar would have been nice as the rooms have space for them.
Well located property close to the ramparts of the fort; the Place Moulay Hassan is just a 10 min walk along the ramparts. The interiors of the riad has been done up beautifully and has some rooms and suites. All are named after some gemstone. We stayed in the Topaz from whose windows we could glimpse the seawaters only when the tide was high. The room was quite spacious with super comfortable beds. The bathroom too was decent size with a bathtub instead of a bath area. The staff at the reception Ismail and Zainab were very helpful and friendly, the latter providing precise directions and map of the medina. The riad is at a distance from the medina walls and a porter would be needed to cart your bags from Bab Marrakech to the riad; Bab Doukala is closer but getting a porter from there may be difficult. Breakfast is pretty decent but the ocean views from there are excellent.

United StatesWe had a one night stay here. We knew we wanted to be on the ocean so this was a good option. We have a family of four so we had to get two rooms which made the price more expensive as there is no family room that fits four people. Our timing wasn’t great as they were doing work on the rooftop so it was not quiet and comfortable up there. The breakfast was very good.

United KingdomMaybe the breakfast room could be a little more vibrant and decorative. Some music in the breakfast room and on the terrace would create more of an ambience 😀
