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...).

MoroccoOtherwise the staff were very cold and unprofessional.they knocked on my door so that i will pay them the other night that was staying even though we agreed i will pay when i will be leaving. There was a crazy guy staying at the hostel who scammed me while i was thinking he works at the hostel but he was just staying there. They check in weird people. I did not feel totally safe as a solo female traveler. Will never go back again.
I would never stay at this hostel again. The only thing that was good about it is the cleanliness and the location

ItalyThere were so many ants in the room, including in the bathroom, and there was a sewage smell in the bathroom, which wafted through the bedroom. Also, there was mold everywhere in the room, there's a really high humidity. Our bathroom had a sort of high window which couldn't be closed and opens onto the outside so you can basically hear everything and everyone (this also means everyone can hear you).
The staff was kind, welcomed us and offered cous cous and also mint tea. The terrace on the top floor is nice.

My experience staying at the hostel was positive. After I checked in they invited me lunch and shared the most delicious tagine I had in Morocco. They made sure everything was comfortable. They provided me with my own roll of toilet paper, towel, and lock for the locker. They were able to answer questions about the medina and the city that made my exploring much easier. The room was kept clean. I had pillow, thin blanket, and thick blanket. I was able to take hot shower. No problem in the restroom. The place is conveniently located inside the medina walking distance to the attractions, beach, restaurants, money exchange, and bus station. I would recommend staying at this hostel.

ItalyDump, dirty, dark, zero ventilation, the owner speaks no English and has zero interest in his guests, the "receptionist" lays in the kitchen smoking all day, the kitchen itself is filthy beyond reason plus the smoking and the trash, disgusting ensuite bathroom in my dorm, the water is lukewarm at best and has no pressure, the stench in the whole place is disgusting, mouldy, poorly lit, rundown, neglected. Nobody cares, the pictures are a scam, it's nothing like what one would expect. The street is also covered in trash. Had I known I'd have never stayed. It's upsetting to see the sluggish attitude they have, they could look after the place but they just don't care, shameful
Inside the medina, my mattress was good and luckily had no bugs, the place is quiet. Sorry but this is all one can like about this dungeon.

My room was super clean with a private bathroom (shower and wc), sheets were neat, i had enough not to feel cold and i had my little window. I also had acces to a kitchen where i could cook and enjoy the terrasse during the lovely nights of Essaouira. Strongly recommend!
