How it works
Several riads and guesthouses in the Essaouira medina show photos of premium rooms and rooftop terraces on booking platforms while standard rooms are significantly smaller or lack the amenities shown. Some properties describe themselves as "ocean view" when only one or two rooms (not the one booked) have a view.
