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 reviewWe loved staying at this property with its well planned design and ambiance well suited for spending a night in the desert. We had a big room with a balcony with a view of the swimming pool and the dunes. The staff was very helpful, the bed was comfortable, the shower worked just fine and we enjoyed the pre fixe menu for dinner. All in all, a very nice stay.

Verified reviewLocation, Breakfast, dinner, pool and room size and cleanliness were excellent.
There as a weird and loud sound just outside of our room that kept us awake all night. It sounded like a donkey-call and our room was situated very close to perhaps the staff quarters in the back? Our room was on the second level at the far-end of the building with our balcony overlooking the pool.

Verified reviewRiad Madu is one of the most beautiful places ive ever stayed in. There interieur is so beautiful en stylish. The view @ Sahara desert at swimmingpool is great. We also slept a night at Madu premium camp in the desert. Mohamed is the best guide. He deserves a 10! A great experience i would definitely recommend!
There was no choice for dinner in the restaurant in de evening. They served a more european-style dinner. Not bad, but having a choice what to eat has our preference.

Verified reviewReally nice riad! We had the chance to be upgraded, and the room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool and with a view on the sand dunes. The staff was very nice and the pool was a big plus considering the hot weather in Merzouga. The dîner served was the same for everyone and was not exceptional but fine. Overall, I strongly recommend this riad.
I would have liked one or 2 options for dinner.

Verified reviewRiad Madu was definitely an oasis in the desert. The Raid itself is absolutely beautiful, especially at night. From we arrived the staff were so attentive. They upgraded our room free of charge, and it was stunning. The food was excellent, very tasty . The pool area was great with spectacular views . We also took the tour into the desert that they organised, and it was magnificent i would highly recommend it . Wonderful place, wonderful people, and a wonderful experience .10/10
Nothing. This is not a criticism as the food was delicious and good value, but the portions could be considered small for some people . I was full after it, but my husband ( who has quite a big appetite ) wasn't. Again, it is not criticism as it was lovely but just something to note for certain travellers.

Verified reviewEverything about it! Car parked in the shade, friendly and helpful staff speaking English. The food was very good, the beds comfortable and the aircon was working perfectly. The fridge was a big help to cool the beers we brought earlier elsewhere. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The view of the sand dunes is amazing especially while you're refreshing in the clean swimming pool. Ideal both for couples or families with kids like us. They can organize for you any tour you like. We chose the camel ride at dawn. If I would go back for sure I would choose the same hotel
