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 reviewBeautiful old home,gorgeous,y decorated. Lovely garden, where they grow vegetables and herbs. Enjoyed dinner and breakfast very much. We stayed there before glamming in the dessert. It’s 15 mins from M’Hamid. We just stayed the night but could have enjoyed another night there. You could walk into sand dunes from outside the property.

Verified reviewWe stayed in this little oasis before we headed into the dessert for our booked tour. It is an amazing and lovely place. The owner and the staff were incredible. The food was so delicious and came fresh out of their garden. We really enjoyed the beautiful dessert dune walk, right out of the back door. The place itself was very peaceful and beautiful. We wished we could have stayed there a little longer.

Verified reviewThis was probably the most unexpected experience of all the accommodations and hotels we stayed in in Morocco. A small hideaway run by an admirable lady and her staff. Dinner was freshly cooked, nothing pre-made or reheated. We will definitely be back! Our advice: Book it, you won't regret it.
The fact that we couldn't stay longer ;)

Verified reviewmy stay at the property was beyond my expectations. the place is a magical oasis in the desert created with love by Paru and her team. the gardens are lovely and maintained well with fresh vegetables fruit trees and even a natural swimming pool. all is in tune with nature as far as possible. there are magnificent views across the desert and shaded spots all around the gardens to sit and relax. my room was cool and well appointed with a comfortable with a terrace outside. the whole building is very beautifully maintained. the food is plentiful healthy and fresh- very tasty and Paru has even trained her team to make black ( English) tea and fresh yogurt. breakfast is particularly delicious. Paru is a wonderful host - very attentive and helpful but not intrusive and I had some very interesting discussions with her- she is very generous with her time and nothing is too much trouble. Her team are also lovely and very helpful. I cam highly recommend this wonderful place and hope I will be able to return one day.
