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 reviewThe pool area was lovely. The gardens were superb. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The restaurant menu is a little limiting if you have a seafood allergy or dislike. The photos are taken with a big lens so beds/rooms appear bigger than they are. Not a fault of the hotel, but there is a lot of litter on the beach.

Verified reviewIts location in front of the lagoon with a directly access to it. The intern gardens are very beautiful and well maintained.
There is no refrigerator in the rooms, it’s something essential especially during summer!

Verified reviewNice family run hotel in great location on the lagoon. Manager was helpful with organising boat tour.
Although recently redecorated, the property is dated. Restaurant could do with modernisation. Breakfast minimal and eggs were supplementary.

Verified reviewThe view of the Bay was very nice as the location is great. The staff was very kind. The room was of a good size. Outside parking is small but secured by a guard.
We found the price of a room with a view was high for that time of the season - late October. The A/C unit needs a clean up, and the shower needs some maintenance.

Verified reviewPerfect location. Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable room. Wonderful garden.
Extra large Double beds a bit small. Breakfasts a bit dull. The hotel would make their own lives a lot easier providing a buffet for breakfast... with more fruit, yoghurt, cereal.. Restaurant v good, but menu too large... pizza and pasta dishes not good, and unnecessary.

There was nothing not to like.

Verified reviewThe hotel is right on the beach and has magnificent views from the terrace. The highlight is the gardens which are absolutely beautiful and lovingly cared for by the gardener. There is also a super clean pool where you can relax in lounge chairs around it. The rooms are clean and cute with comfortable beds and modern bathroom fixtures. You can take a sightseeing boat trip right from the hotel or walk into town/around the point. We enjoyed relaxing here!

Verified reviewVery good location 👍🏻
The breakfast was disappointing : the room costs more than 1500dh / night, for that price we expect a decent breakfast (eggs, fresh bread, cheese…). The staff in not friendly : a lot of inappropriate sarcasm and laziness. Some staff members forgot to wear appropriate shoes, giving us an inevitable view on their fingernails during the breakfast…

Verified reviewThe Hotel was located on a nearby street accessible for a walk into town. It has a beautiful view over the bay, the pool was clean and delightfully refreshing after poolside reading. We did eat at the restaurant our first night and it was delicious. I also met the owner and he was very nice and asked about our accommodations, very lovely stay.
It was great, no negatives to talk about.

Verified reviewThe best location in all of Oualidia with great views of the laguna and direct access to the sea/sandbanks. Nice terrace and pool. The staff were very friendly. It’s way more beautiful than shown in the pictures! Recommend the boat tour.
The wifi is unreliable/bad. Drinks are overpriced.
