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.).

IcelandShower can be improved, should be better. Breakfast a little monotonous, some variation might be good. TV channels not up to standard, hardly possible to watch any news and football games only available in the lobby.
The view from the room was marvelous. Location in the Medina is brilliant. Room was very good, exactly what we were looking for. Balcony was nice but normally a little to windy to enjoy it to the full. Breakfast is good, recommend the mynte tea. All in all, hotel is comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and service is fine.

A real piece of art in itself. It is beautifully designed and decorated. The view on the ocean is the best ever. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The sound of the waves was calming. Staff was helpful.

United KingdomEverything was outstanding.
A beautiful traditional Moroccan Riad with the Atlantic Ocean for our garden! We loved the vibrant colours, the beautiful tiles and the whole peaceful ambience. The roof top restaurant was stunning with its panoramic views over the ocean. Watching the waves crashing on the rocks…. Fantastic photo opportunities. Absolutely breathtaking. There are no cars within the Medina walls as the streets are narrow and lined with the wonderful markets, so they have friendly locals with large barrows to transport your luggage to and from the Riad, for a few Dirhams. Very handy when your bags are full of the gorgeous wares sold in the markets. Take an empty suitcase!!

PolandThe biggest problem we found was that there were not enough electrical outlets in our room. All were dedicated to lights, tv and the like and so you have to unplug something in order to charge or use the outlets.
This road has one of the best views you could ever want. modern good facilities with helpful staff. As with all riads it was a little dark in our room and a little cold. The breakfast was good and plentiful. Staff are always there to be helpful and meet your needs. They were not pushy in finding activities around town.
