Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SwitzerlandNot very roomy for the luggages and the bed was made of two separate beds so not very comfortable
Everything from the breakfast with a view at the terrace to the cozy room. Staff was also helpful and nice. In our room there was a comfortable chair overlooking the sea. Parking is located near the gate of the city and you would expect to pay 70 MAD per day and night

We just spent 3 nights at the Chems Bleu.We had an amazing stay. Not only the property is beautiful and super clean, the staff is just amazing. They ensure you have a wonderful stay in Essaouira by providing you with tips and checking that everything is ok. We have enjoyed the breakfast on the roof terrace every morning. This is a gem! I would recommend it!

Hong KongWe stayed in the apartment close to the Riad and as we have a toddler we really enjoyed having the bedroom and a separate living room and kitchen. All rooms were spacious and we enjoyed the terrace too. The house keeper came daily and kept the apartment very clean. In the mornings, we would go to the Riad for breakfast, which was a lovely experience - the breakfast room was located at the top of the building with nice, sunny views. The food was plentiful and tasty - I haven't known our toddler to eat so much! The staff are super helpful and friendly.

United KingdomFriendly and helpful staff. The room was comfortable. When one of the light bulbs didn't work it was quickly replaced. Arrangements were made for us to have an early breakfast so that we were able to get the bus on time. The manager provided us with a wealth of useful information about the facilities in the town.

This Riad is the perfect place to stay in Essaouira. it's very conveniently located and easy to reach, it's extremely clean with lovely and attentive staff. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a small private balcony. Breakfast is served at the terrace with a great view. We will definitely come here again next time we stay in this beautiful city.

LatviaWe were in Rouge Double Room, and there was an unstable internet connection. You can solve it by going out on terrace or sit closer to the window.
If you see an available booking in Chems Blue - you are in luck. This Riad is 5 minute walk from Supra Tours bus station if you are arriving from Marrakech. Chems Blue is located in Medina but a little away from busy tourist streets so you can expect total peace and quiet. Owners of Chemns Blue gave us a warm welcome and care. Both the Riad itself and our room were super clean. It was taken care of by the excellent Riad staff. You will enjoy a rich breakfast on the top floor of the building, which will be prepared and served by the owner himself. We originally intended to stay here for three nights, but the place was so great that we changed our plans to stay one extra night. Thank you, Chems Blue, for your fantastic customer service.
