How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThis camp is right amongst the dunes, and was walking distance to the highest dune in Chigaga, where we watched the sunset from. All the camps in Chigaga are lined up along the dunes and as soon as you walk up a small dune behind the camp you can see your neighbours, but when you're in camp you feel like you're miles from anywhere. We were the only ones staying there which we loved, but they definitely cater to bigger groups, with seating for 20 or 30 people. Had they been fully booked it may have been a bit too busy for us. Around sunset we went for a walk by ourselves through the dunes and as the sun dropped we spotted many dune tours and sunset camel riders. We certainly weren't alone in the desert, but it was still a lovely experience. We walked back after sunset with the desert dusk lighting our way and our host had come to look for us, but we were not far from camp by that time. We really enjoyed the stay, and would recommend the camp as being in the middle of the good part of the dunes.
The price for the camp doesn't include the transfer, which you need a 4WD to get there. We spent a long evening messaging back and forth with the owner arranging our transport and meals. Much of this arduous task was our own fault for not speaking French or Arabic, but it would be much easier if costs were transparent upfront. Our advice is make sure you arrange the transport and meals before setting off. We paid €140 for two people for the return transfer, which involves a lot of driving in soft sand, and our driver Hamza was excellent.

Verified reviewThe location was incredible. It took about an hour and a half to get to the camp but we were in the middle of the dunes and it was truly magical. The staff were wonderful and so accommodating. We were so happy with the everything. It was a truly unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend it.
There was nothing that we didn't enjoy.

Verified reviewVery friendly hosts guarantee a very authentic stay. The location could probably not be better: it is right next to one of the highest dunes in the desert. A must see in Morocco in my opinion.
Dinner was amazing, however a bit expensive (20€).
