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...).

ItalyThe shower could be improved (the was a small issue with the handset and low pressure). Curtains are not long enough to cover the entire windows. But these details are easy to fix, nothing to be worried about given the cost/benefit of the entire experience.
Fantastic experience thanks to the amazing hospitality of Thierry and Nadia. Very helpful in their way of welcoming us. The place is perfect and so is the breakfast. Super clean. The place is particularly adapt if you come to Essaouira by car, as you can easily park nearby (instead of ending up paying the parking near the old medina). It's definitely more quiet than the old medina. Rooftop is a nice plus! Very good vibes!

United KingdomThere wasn't anything I didn't like, actually it took me a while to figure the keys, they turn differently in Morocco but it wasn't a problem.
It's very peaceful, it's in a local & safe area, it's a pleasant walk to the centre of the old town. The roof top has plenty of space for all occupants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, I had a bedroom, bathroom and lounge, enough space for me!! The breakfasts were delicious and ample

United KingdomThe Riad is located a little away from the Medina and sea front, which meant a reasonable walk (or very inexpensive local taxi) to get to the areas you might want to visit. It is not so far to be a problem if you are healthy and mobile - and actually helps to keep you fit!
Nadia and Thierry were lovely, very welcoming and helpful. They gave us good local information and tips to help us make the most of our stay. Nadia arranged transfers for us to and from the Riad without any fuss and which worked perfectly. The room was very spacious and the breakfast was really tasty and served in the beautiful setting of the Riad courtyard.

PortugalI highly recommend Riad Salmiya Dune for all the reasons! I start with the location: a quiet street with easy access to the beach and many services. The accommodation is wonderful! Everything is very clean and well decorated, with a magnificent atmosphere! The facilities are many and make us feel at home. The rooms accommodate families with children very well. The breakfast is incredible, very filling, quality and delicious. Nadia is a very attentive and receptive person and we will certainly return. :)

We're a family of four and had a wonderful stay at Riad Salmiya Dune, The Riad was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The roof terrace was a great place to relax after long days seeing the sights and before heading in to the Medina for dinner. Nadia, our host, was wonderful and helpful. The beach was only a 10-minute walk away and a further 20 mins along the beach was the Medina. The sunsets were simply incredible! We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

Croatiaeverything was good. The only thing was a family with small children, the youngest of which was crying and shouting and that family behaved as if they were the only guests in the hotel. Without any regard for others. But that has nothing to do with the hotel and the hosts, who are really pleasant.
romantic small hotel. A good hostess who gave us super useful tips. Very nice breakfast

United KingdomWhat a magical place to stay. The owners were so friendly and helpful; the Riad is stunning and comfortable. It is not inside the medina which we liked very much: it was quiet, with local shops around, close to the beach, and parking spaces. We can not recommend enough this place to stay in Essaouira. Thank you for making our short time there very special.

NetherlandsThe owners of the Riad were so friendly and helpfull. The last morning we had to leave early to the AirPort, so they prepared a breakfast tray for us. The location is just just outside the medina in a quiet neaborhood, we could walk to the beach and the medina. Our room was very comfortabel. We recommend this place.

United KingdomThe Riad is very nice and typical and the owners are so helpful and do everything to make us comfortable! It’s conveniently located in between the beach and the old town, and also there’s parking in front which is handy. The family suite was very convenient for the 4 of us, and we alternated beach ( with quad), and exploring the gorgeous old town. A very good trip and we would highly recommend the Riad!
