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.).

GermanyVery touristy, lots of people and street facing rooms had bad sound proofing. Facilities a bit dated.
The hotel team was amazing, especially Houssam and Sanae on the reception! Because of them my experience was much better and I even got an upgrade.

United KingdomSometimes there was a smell of cigarette smoke coming through the air conditioning. The shower is over the bath which might not suit everybody.
Spacious with a very good location looking onto the beach. The bar/ terrace is a lovely place to sit and have a coffee or beer if you don't mind the steepish prices.

United KingdomThe staff can vary from quite good (most) to a bit more negligent (a few). No heated pool at Christmas, gym okish but could be better (a bit small)
Nice and rather large bedrooms, the a-la-carte restaurant was very good plus a good quality room service reasonably priced , great location in front of ocean (the beach is extremely large and quite nice especially for long walks) in a quieter area still within easy walking from the Medina and Port

IrelandSome staff at reception and in the bar certainly could engage with customers more. Rooms expecially bathrooms, towels and patio tiles and pool furniture etc definitely needs updating. Aircon room 241 was totally ineffective and convinced it actually blew out warm air (when set to cool). We had the window open so not too much of an issue in February (although i did get some bites) but it would put us off staying in Atlas when it gets hotter. Room cleaning was not consistent during our 3 day stay, only one water glass for two people, wine glass/cuttlery not removed. Our room card had to be reactivated numerous times even when not stored close to phone. It's a silly complaint but like other reviewers toilet paper very poor quality and I'm not sure saving the hotel any money! .
Opposite the beach and a very handy 15min walk to the Medina or very easy get a petit taxi (10dh) on the main road outside. Spacious room with small fridge, good breakfast with plenty of choice and friendly staff in the dining room especially the lovely lady cooking omelettes and pancakes. Public areas are very well appointed with stylish furniture, lovely art and very relaxing. It was off season so it was very quiet and peaceful by the pool and day beds in the garden. We were able to check in earlier than 3pm and get a late check-out of 2:30pm which was great. We only ate once at lunch and bar food it was grand. It was lovely watching the sun go down in the evening at the front bar and drinks before/after heading out (great guitarist each night, not too intrusive). Overall Atlas exceeded our expectations as some of the reviews were quite negative. It was off season, hopefully they can improve before peak times.

United KingdomWe knew beforehand that the hotel was next to a main road, and therefore there would be some noise from the passing traffic - but the location and outlook met our needs perfectly for this part of our visit.
Accommodation was as described. Met expectations. Beach location with great outlook, 15/20 minute walk from Essaouira medina. Good to have more space and calm after extensive travelling, and staying in local guest houses where there tends not to be much light.

United StatesThere was absolutely no sound proofing in the rooms. Constantly heard doors banging and furniture being dragged on the floor above. The room was a "junior suite" but it was too cramped with all the furniture that was stuffed into a relatively small place. The accommodations felt generally "tired" and in need of an update.
The location of the hotel is unbeatable; right in front of the beach and within 10 minutes of the Medina. The breakfast buffet was great. The room had a great view and the lobby was quite impressive.

United KingdomThe swimming pool was freezing even though it was August. Perhaps solar panels could be used to pump warm water into the pool (it works in other hotels). The gym was hidden away from view, I used it. The bedroom had no drawers to lay clothes out such as T-shirts and underwear.
The lovely reception staff were helpful and friendly. The beautiful lady cooking omelettes for breakfast was marvellous, so patient with so many guest demands. The room was clean and comfortable. But why no drawers for unpacking clothes? A wardrobe is great, but you need drawers as well.
