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...).

AustraliaNot so nice was, that there is smoking allowed in the sitting area near the kitchen.
The hostel is in the heart of the Medina and all of the sightseeing and the beach are in walking distance. Lots of cheap restaurants in the area. The hostel also has a functioning kitchen and a rooftop sitting area

ItalyNothing against this place in particular, but personally I never like when a hostel is also a restaurant. The common area in the rooftop could have been bigger if they wouldn't reserve such a big space for the restaurant.
Nice place, central location, great and friendly staff. Good value for money, nice rooftop. Small but functional kitchen available.

The view over both beaches of Essaouira and the City is great! The Hostel is in the middle of the Medina, the Restaurant is great (except for some wind). The vibe was amazing and we got to meet lots of travellers in the same situation.

PhilippinesStairs going to the upper floors but considering the location it doesn't matter to me but it is not pwd friendly. Upper bunk is higher than the usual so it's a bit of a struggle for an Asian like me. Tend to be noisy because you have 3 dorm rooms in our floor
Very welcoming staff. Firm bed. Clean toilet tissue provided. Curtains for each bed which was good for privacy. Location was perfect

MoroccoThe atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, with a vibrant, friendly staff who went out of their way to make everyone feel at home. The common areas were clean and comfortable, perfect for socializing or relaxing after a day of exploring. The dorms were spacious, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable for a hostel. The facilities, including the kitchen and bathrooms, were well-maintained and easily accessible. Location-wise, it was ideally situated, making it convenient to reach major attractions. Overall, Atlantic Hostel offers excellent value for money and is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for a blend of comfort and community. Highly recommend

FranceThe bathroom wasn't the cleanest and had this broken window that let the strong wind of Essaouira come in, not super pleasant during the shower. We could use bigger lockers in the room.
The location is perfect and the staff is super friendly.
