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 reviewOwners were very friendly and accommodating, giving us extra advice on travel tips. Good location for the beach. Nice and modern and felt looked after. Breakfast was superb. Would love to come back here again.
As it’s a new place, the bathroom door didn’t close properly and the shelves which the towels were kept on were awkward to get down, but very minor details!
Hello Rachel, Thank you for your review. Thank you for alerting us to the problem with the door. We hope to see you again soon. Sunny greetings from the beach. Simone

Verified reviewvery nice Hotel, perfect, not only for surfing. Close to a long and clean beach . Great for sunset etc. For us the best place to end our road trip, in particular as Agadir Airport is good to return rental cars and for taking the return flight (small airport, short queue) This small Hotel is run by the owners, which makes a great difference. Good neighborhood with nice small restaurants and coffee shops near by.
Hello Rieger, Thank you for taking the time and leaving a review. We loved having you and hipe to welcome you again, soon. Sunny greetings from the beach. Simone

Verified reviewWe were well looked after at Dar Makai and had a lovely stay. Simone and Rashid were great, communicating before the trip and organising a taxi from the airport for us.They also gave us tips about what to do in the area and further afield. Breakfasts were tasty and hearty! You will be well fed! The rooms were uber clean and decorated well, it's really is how you see it in the pictures. The terrace was the icing on the cake. It's one of the tallest in that spot so gets a lot of sun. Also really convenient for us was the exchange bureau which was a few seconds walk away, which was great when we needed to change more GBP. The hotel is also close to other restaurants, but Dar Makai also has its own. This really was a gem of a find and we'll certainly be back!

Verified reviewOur stay was everything we could have wished for—comfortable, private rooms, a fantastic location, and staff who treat you like family. My partner was unwell during the first half of our trip, so we ended up arriving late to breakfast most days. Despite this, the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, even preparing a Tea with remedies for colds to help him recover! Their thoughtfulness made such a difference. Any issues were resolved immediately with grace. Plus, the adorable cat was an added delight!
Nothing!

Verified reviewMe and my partner, we stayed in Dar Makai Hotel and we loved it. Rashid, Simone and all the staff are very friendly people. Rooms were very nice and clean, beds comfy and the breakfast just epic. We also had few surf lessons which we enjoyed a lot and in the end of stay everything ended with great bbq session. I definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to be back. Thank you!
Hi Veronika, Thank you again for staying with us! We loved having you two and hope to see you again next year! Sunny greetings from the beach. Simone

Verified reviewWe loved our stay. The staff is very kind, welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable. We had a different breakfast every morning. The location is also perfect. Tamraght is kind of on a hill - the hotel is based more on the bottom and closest to the beach, than most hotels. You can also easily catch a cab to Agadir or Taghazout, since it’s right close to the main road. The level of standard and service is also very western. We didn’t come across this in other hotels in Morocco. I highly recommend and I would definitely come back here!
From other comments you can read that the hotel is near a mosque. Though I’m a light sleeper, I still had the perfect sleep by using with earplugs.

Verified reviewRooms were clean and comfortable, love that each room has the name of an animal instead of a number :) Hotel owners are really nice and friendly, always ready to help and give recommendations. Location is perfect, near the beach but in town. Finally, breakfast is super good and was always different.
Mosque is next door, so occasionally you hear their prays 🙏.

Verified reviewSimone and Rachid are amazing hosts! We had a lovely stay in a beautiful and modern room. They really went the extra mile to make the stay super comfortable for our little one, providing an amazing cot, toys and finally a high chair for our little one meals. Dinner and breakfast were delicious as well. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks for the lovely stay.

Verified reviewThe location was really close to the beach and the rooms were really nice! The host was very lovely and caring, it's a family business and they really made an effort to help me out with anything I needed.
Breakfast was same every day so if you stay for a week it can get very boring, no vegan options at all, no free water. Other guests were really loud and the walls were really transparent so in the night you can here what's going on another floor actually. To sum up, a bit too expensive for the value that you get, at least for my taste.
Hello Guoda, Thank you for your review. I apologize for the noisy guests we had during your stay. Sadly we cannot control everything to your satisfaction. Since we just opened a few weeks ago, we are working on our menu for breakfast to give our guests more options. Which is an interesting task since every country has slightly different breakfast habits. So hopefully next time when you visit you will find it improved. We wish you a good year and hope to see you again soon. Sunny greetings from the beach, Simone

Verified reviewWe loved the place, Simone, Rachid, and the whole staff was very helpful and friendly. First we spent there just one night because we had plans for the desert as well, but after we had to go back for other nights because our kids enjoyed the place and the surfing course so much. I think we will come back again as soon as we can :)

Verified reviewThe property was super cosy and comfortable. Simone and Rachid made us feel at home and were extremely helpful with all our needs! I would recommend staying at Dar Makai whether you are coming to Morocco for surfing or any other activity as you will be extremely well treated and made smile. Rachid is perfect in terms of any guidance you may need. The breakfast is also delicious and completely worth it
Sometimes a little too much light in the room however that is just a sensibility of myself
Hello Ruben, It was lovely to have you as our guests. Thank you for your review. Also thank you for your feedback on the light in the rooms. We are looking forward to welcome you again soon. Sunny greetings from the beach. Simone
