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):
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.
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.).

HungaryStaff was very friendly, they made us welcome at the property. During our stay, it was really quiet, so we could relax really well after a full-day trip. Pool was amazing, too! While at the pool, we also got some welcome mint tea served, which we really liked! The night sky was clear, so we could take photos of the stars and the hotel with stars, too.

NetherlandsNothing worth mentioning.
We had the privilege of being the only guests in this ideally located hotel, which is a mere 5 to 10 minute drive from Ait Ben Haddou. It is in the middle of nowhere, which we loved. Great views from the outdoor pool area. Huge dinner portions. Achmed was super friendly and cheerful, making sure we had a great time!

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff was the highlight — especially the kind and welcoming woman at the reception who greeted us warmly, explained everything clearly, and gave us helpful advice. The young men on the team were also very friendly — they helped with our luggage and served us a delicious dinner. The hotel is located in the middle of an empty road, which may seem unusual at first, but it gives the place a unique, cinematic atmosphere and beautiful views from the windows. We were the only guests that night and were kindly upgraded to a more comfortable room. The room was clean, with hot water in the shower, fresh towels, and everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and we had a great night’s sleep. Dinner was surprisingly excellent — even better than some restaurants we had tried before. Breakfast was also great: hearty and perfect before a long day in the desert. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at this place – a beautifully decorated Moroccan house with a lovely big pool outside (which we didn’t use, as it was a bit windy during our stay). Our room was very spacious and had a nice view of the river. The beds were a bit firm, but we figured that’s pretty common in Morocco 🙂 Breakfast was delicious, made with fresh, local ingredients. The staff were incredibly helpful and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We also had lunch at the hotel, and it was absolutely amazing – clearly prepared with care by the chef. A perfect spot to experience the beauty and hospitality of Ait Benhaddou!

Showers had the best water pressure of our whole trip and the breakfast was delicious. It was a little bit too cold for us to jump in the pool but it was looking very good. Would definitely recommend!

LithuaniaIt’s a very nice and clean hotel. I enjoyed staying there. The only sad thing was that the pool they have was too cold to jump in as our staying was in December :(. Other than that - all was perfect. Rooms are with the AC, nice clean bathroom. Our room had a stunning view into the mountains through the window. The girl working there, whose name is Nadia, was very nice, polite, she even served us late breakfast cause we overslept after a 10 hour driving. In total - it’s a place worth to stay in, definitely!

SpainThe toilet in our room worked so-so, but the place is almost in the desert after all.
The location is gorgeous, with stunning views of an abandoned ruin right across the valley (I recommend taking a short drive or a walk there to check it out). Value for money was really good, as the price is very reasonable but also there was a really nice plentiful breakfast every morning. In fact, not only that, but in the best spirit of hospitality to travelers, we were even treated sometimes for things that the staff did simply out of kindness. Very much appreciated. I only remember the name of Nuna, who speaks English fluently, but all of them were nice and friendly! A must-stay if you're anywhere near the area.

I was a bit hesitant at first because it's just a tiny bit on the outskirts but OH MY GOD this has to be amongst the best experiences of my very vast travels. The reception: amazing, personalized, and quick! The lovely young lady at the reception desk deserves a raise, my family felt very welcomed by her. The bed: super comfortable. Bathroom, perfect. The bride: unforgettable. There was security at night and our driver was able to park the vehicle without any issue. The star view is true and worth staying here. I personally did not have breakfast but my family did and they said it was amazing and very filling, enough to fill their stomachs all the way to dinner at the desert. I come back twice a year and am so happy I found this place amongst the vastness, I will be back to this site and will recommend.
