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 staff were amazing, Ibrahim especially was fantastic and helped us organise some things regarding our desert tour. Anything we asked for was never an issue. The place is beautiful, the pool and decor is amazing. They had a bar and food was delicious (we had multiple meals here). Would recommend to anyone 😃

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning Riad, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The property is beautifully designed and maintained, with a tranquil atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of Eastern hospitality. One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking view of the starry night sky and the moon from the swimming pool. It was truly magical. The pool area, surrounded by palm trees, was a haven of relaxation, and the warm, fragrant Eastern nights were a perfect accompaniment to a refreshing swim. I would like to extend a special thank you to Ibrahim and the entire staff for their exceptional professionalism and warm welcome. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this Riad to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in the heart of Zagora

Verified reviewThis property is like a small oasis, between the lovely staff, pool, and large garden. I really enjoyed my stay here. The food and drink was quality, room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was quite accommodating. I faced some challenges when my flight from Zagora became cancelled, but the staff was very helpful in assisting with my ad-hoc transportation needs to Marrakesh, helping me obtain a taxi upon short notice. I'm very appreciative of their support. Would recommend!
The Wifi wasn't as consistent/fast, but it was raining during my visit and Zagora is more remote so it wasn't necessarily surprising.

Verified reviewA wonderful ambience, peace and tranquility with beautiful garden and swimming pool area. Good food, good wines & and an excellent bar. Walking in the oasis that the hotel is in. For real privacy book the rooms with a terrace. They are not as large perhaps smart as the ones on the two lower floors but give total lovely privacy.
There was nothing to dislike.

Verified reviewA real highlight of our trip. A beautiful elegant building, filled with treasures and details to explore and appreciate, and different locations from poolside to rooftop. Extremely friendly, helpful staff - plus a welcome bar and enormously extensive breakfast - made this a fantastic showcase of Moroccan hospitality.

Verified reviewI liked breakfast.
The room, they need to remeasure, I swear it is not the size they claim. The location of the room is also poor you can hear and see people on the terrace, couldn't open the curtains as they could see in your room. The road runs right by the hotel and is very loud. The staff do not speak much English. The bed was uncomfortable, the bed frames are too large for the mattresses. The pool looked fine, that's the best I can offer.
