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 lodge is conveniently located close to the surf spots, restaurants and there is a small grocery shop across the road. I liked the rustic muted decor of the rooms with blackout curtains, a firm matters and warm duvet. The staff were polite and helpful, trying to make my stay comfortable.
Complicated check-in process. The gate was locked when I arrived and there was no bell or nobody to let me in. I had to call them on the phone and ask to open the door. I didn't feel comfortable with communal eating at breakfast. You have to share a table with strangers like in a hostel, and it takes long time to get your food considering that the dishes are very simple and portions are tiny (one pancake and one piece of bread per person). Coffee was weak for my taste, and food was not very healthy - no fruit or vegetables. On two days I didn’t have any hot water in the shower. My room smelled of canalisation from the bathroom. Also, the position of the outdoor shower is very awkward. It’s right inside their coffee shop, with no privacy, you rinse and get out of your wetsuit while other people are eating and looking at you.
Hello Maria Thanks for your comment. We are very surprised with your comment regarding checking process. The procedure of the check in is sent automatically after your booking. There is a code on the door that you put to allow you going in… there is no complication… Also, and regarding breakfast, we have one of the best in Imsouane! Sometimes, People come in just to have it with us without staying at our place! Also, sitting in a big table all together for breakfast is the spirit of the lodge and Imsouane: share moments, discuss, meet new people… Hope you will have a better experience next time!

Verified reviewNice staff.
Way too expensive for the service. The room is not cleaned everyday, there is some humidity odor in the room, not possible to hang stuff in the room. Useless View on a disuse building.
Thanks for your comment. Among all our guests, you are the only one that don’t recommend our place. The disuse building you had a part of your view on (because the other part was a sea view) is a new building under construction. We don’t understand why it should be our fault… And there is no humidity in our bedrooms at all. You just had to open the terrace window, as the weather was a little bit humide and hot during the period you were in Imsouane. Also, our policy is clear. Rooms are not done everyday , it’s done very 2 days. But you can request towels change if needed. I Hope you will have a better experience next time in Imsouane.

Verified reviewThe staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. They even borrowed me a hairdryer. The design, interior and exterior looks very nice,
The bathroom is very small, so it would have been better that the door would turn towards the outside. There's no socket in it, the mirror is very small, there's not enough light and and we only got a peace of soap, no shampoo. When more people are using water at the same time, there's not enough pressure to take a shower.
Hello Astrid , Thanks for your comment. You booked the smallest room in the lodge. So, it’s normal to have a small bathroom. We recommand to book a bigger one next time if you would like more space. Hope to see you soon!

Verified reviewEverything! The location is ideal, just a few min from the beach. The room with the sea view is beautiful, big and cozy. The staff is great and extremely nice and going the extra miles to make you feel at home. I also appreciated the fact that you can pay everything with credit card (uncommon in Imsouane), which allowed me to easily enjoy dinner at the hotel (big kudos to the chef for the delicious meals!) and to book surf classes via the hotel. I’ll be back for sure!
I really don’t have any complain.
We really enjoyed having you at the lodge Melania. We are very happy that you liked your stay at the lodge. Looking forward to welcome you soon!

No cleaning services, very basic room for 3 pple to stay in, no variety of choices for food suggestions(breakfast so simple)
Thanks for your comment. We do have a cleaning service in the lodge. We don’t understand your comment regarding the cleaning. Our housekeeping team is there everyday to make sure the lodge is clean. And as per our policy, rooms are done every 3 days. Besides, we have one of the best breakfasts in Imsouane: eggs, moroccan bread and Mssemen, fruits and vegetables juices, home made granola, home made yogurt, different dips… Can we please understand what can we more offer on breakfast? It’s the first time we receive such a comment.

Sadly, much of the old Imsouane had been destroyed apparently to make way for new hotels... There was building work going on & lots of debris.

Verified reviewWe really loved our stay in L’Oued the Lodge. The place is designed with a good sense of style, the rooms are very comfortable and the staff is super helpful & friendly. It’s located in the heart of Imsouane and they can help you out with surf classes. They also host nice yoga classes on the sunny rooftop with sea view and the Moroccan breakfast is delicious. The atmosphere is very calm & relaxing. Would definitely recommend!
