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.).

United Kingdomkept the hot water taps open for 10minutes (suggested from reception) and still no hot water. we had to take cold showers. Bathroom / Bath tube really needs some TLC. Pillow cases were stained, hair from previous guests were everywhere on the sheets. The reception changed the pillowcases for us so that's good.
Location is perfect at the entrance of the old city. Very close walk to the beach. 3 mins walk from private very cheap PortSide Parking. Room was large and bed comfy. Free Wifi works great. Good for a short stay, especially for the price.

United KingdomCompletely unprepared to provide change for the cash payment on arrival demanded - their initial expectation (later resolved) was on the guest to provide it, and to foot any shortfall. Exchange rate initially proposed (also resolved) was higher than market rate - unheard of, in 2 months of travel here! Non-smoking room had an ashtray in the suite area! Traditional layout means windows face corridors; noise and the smell of incense (provided in the rooms) travels up from other rooms, and even outside. Had issues with the hot/cold water mix constantly changing in the shower on my second morning. A mattress protector would improve the comfort of the bed.
Moved here from another property in a similar price range and I'm so glad I did! Incredible space for a "Single" room, never mind by Moroccan standards! Loved the traditional feel and decoration.

GermanyThe room was super-wet, literally anything, the blankets the furniture etc etc. There was a bell ringing every couple of minutes and I never ever heard such a weird "Adhan" like there... In general it was noisy and there were some drunken guys arguing not far from the hotel also another drunken guy was begging agressively for money. In general not a save experience after sunset.
Everything was close, the staff was really kind.

United KingdomInside hallway rooms are all damp so you'll need to book a front window room. But then there's the problem of the Medina clock bells ringing loudly every 15 mins,all night! Apart from that,good location,right at the entrance to the Medina and 5 min walk from the beach!
The price was ok.

MoroccoFrom the moment we arrived, I was surprised to find that there was only one receptionist on site — no other staff in sight, which is quite unusual for a hotel. Upon check-in, the receptionist handed us our towels and kindly asked us to carry them ourselves to our room on the 4th floor… with no elevator. No help was offered with our luggage, which made the arrival quite exhausting. The problems continued with the lack of hot water in the room. After an hour of waiting and failed attempts to fix it, the same receptionist eventually moved us to another room. Unfortunately, cleanliness was not up to standard either — there were visible stains on the bedsheets, which is always concerning. It might be okay for a one-night stay if you have no other option, but I wouldn’t really recommend this place.
