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...).

IrelandI knew what to expect from reading reviews before booking. It is true that the blue room was extremely dark, and that it smelled damp (like a castle or cave) but that was because it is very okd and it had recently rained. It was also true that the bathroom wss only slightly screened from the bedroom. I wasn't keen on any of this, but the overall place was so cool, I overcame my misgivings.
Our host was very attentive. He seemed genuinely interested in us and we enjoyed his company. The location was superb overlooking the Atlantic, the layout of the Riad was like a labtrinth - with little seating areas up and down every stairs and around every corner. There was fabulous art everywhere and amazing roof terraces. The bed was very comfortable, the bedlinen, towels, pillows etc were all fresh.

IndiaThe room doesn’t have a fan/Ac so it becomes a bit warm at night.
The location was very good, right in the heart of the medina but away from the hustle. The breakfast and the staff were genuinely caring and absolutely wonderful! This was the highlight of the stay. The view outside our room was gorgeous with the ocean just a stone’s throw away.

United KingdomSix of us had a hammam in the Riad, it was OK but not amazing for the price (900 dirham per couple) eg. the first couple did not have enough hot water and the massage table was not set up so they had to help with that (!) and the room for the massage was cold, the middle and last couple just had one masseur so ended up with a v short massage each where it is described as 30 min hammam and 30 min massage. The hot water ran out for the last couple. The hammam was clean and the staff were lovely but we were a bit disappointed, especially given the price (works out at £37.50 per person but for the hour you have a lot of waiting around as the woman attends to the other person so really you are only getting 15 min hammam and 15 min massage per person).
The Riad is beautiful inside - really clean and very tastefully decorated. Amazing shared spaces where you can sit to chat, read, eat etc. (see photos) - the roof terrace has amazing uninterrupted views of the sea and you can hear the waves crashing from your bed. The rooms are comfy and clean with towels, toiletries provided. We had a twin room with en suite and then 2 interconnecting rooms with a double bed in one room and a single in the other with a little shared en suite. This was perfect for our family of 5, which includes 3 teenagers. The Medina is outside and is quite chaotic as they are, but the Riad is on a quiet street with a v good coffee shop opposite (see photo). You can't drive to the Riad as you have to walk through the streets and alleys of the Medina, which can be confusing when you first arrive - the best thing to do is to ask a man with a barrow to take your luggage and guide you there (we gave them 40 to 60 dirhams to do this). The breakfast was nice, the usual things - omelette, fresh OJ, bread, yoghurt, pancakes, honey, jam, bananas. The Riad is perfect for visiting Essaouira, especially if you want to stay within the Medina. The best food we had the whole time in Morocco (not just in Essaouira) was in Triskala just around the corner from the Riad.
