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 reviewVery friendly and helpful hosts - the guy even washed our car, helped us with info about the attractions. We had a huge, tasty, homemade dinner. The leftovers were packed and we eat them as the next day lunch. The breakfast was also very nice and more than we could eat. The room was clean and quiet, the bed comfortable. Upon arrival we also received tea, dates, water. Excellent value for money.
Just some dogs barking at some point.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us — from the warm welcome and homemade dinner to the comfortable room and generous breakfast. It was our pleasure to help you and make your experience memorable. Sorry about the dogs barking — it’s something beyond our control, but we always do our best to ensure a peaceful and relaxing stay for our guests. We hope to welcome you again soon! 🌟 — The Dar Calme Team

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and found the service friendly and access easy. Regarding the warm water in the morning, I apologize for the wait. Due to the cold weather, the hot water takes about 3 to 4 minutes to come through. I’ll make sure to improve this for future guests. Dar calme

Verified reviewFamily run home. Very friendly and welcoming. Comfortable. Generous breakfast
The area it is in is a little off putting to begin with on the edge of town
Thank you for your feedback, although there are some doubts because it was not fair. I don’t believe it, because you had booked for two nights, and immediately after your arrival, you told me that you would leave the next day because you had plans to go to a place with some friends in Ouarzazate. You informed me that you would contact Booking.com to arrange the cancellation and refund. However, perhaps Booking.com refused this because you had booked the room earlier. This situation does not align with Booking.com’s policy. Therefore, you were hoping that I would provide you with a refund for what you paid through Booking.com, but this is not reasonable, as it falls under the booking policy. Since you booked the room for two nights, it was no longer available for booking by others.” Dar calme

Verified reviewHaving a night in a real Moroccan house is worth the experience. The owner was extremely polite, helpful.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing and luxurious place! The room was spacious with a seating area, a fridge, a place to put our belongings and an huuuge bed! The bed and sheets were so comfortable, better than mine at home! It was truly outstanding since everything was brand new and carefully chosen. Beautiful and timeless design and a big bathroom with plenty of towels soap and shampoo. And super clean absolutely everywhere and everything! We had to find a place to stay for the night more in a hurry because the big rains made it impossible to continue the trip we had planned. We were stuck on the road for hours and just arrived in time for check in. The very friendly owner would otherwise surely have let us in even later. We didn’t expect much and were amazed with one of the most luxury places we had stayed in within our 4 weeks Morocco travels. If around in the area, this is THE place to stay! Also the breakfast was delicious with so much food we could have never eat it all even though we would have loved to! Fresh juice, crepes, coffee and tea, cheese, jam, olives… we had it all! Thank you so much for this surprise experience as we where in a 5 star hotel! Such a pity we could stay only one night. All the best and hopefully more guests to be amazed :)

Verified reviewVery friendly host, offered us tea on arrival and recommend things to do on our route, delicious breakfast. The location is to the back so very quiet, the family lives on the ground floor, it’s all very lovely decorated
The bed is a little hard like most places in marocco, the shower doesn’t have a curtain so the rest of the bathroom gets wet

Verified reviewThe entire experience was absolutely amazing. The host and his family were so extremely welcoming, friendly and just overall an absolute pleasure to be around. We watched the world cup together and got to have a lovely bowl of soup despite us not having paid for any dinner. If I were to ever travel through here again I would most definitely be stopping by again to stay here and say hello. The rooms were lovely for the location and the beds very comfortable and the host made sure to inform us that if we required anything to let him know and he would sort it out. 10/10 man and his family are one in a million.
