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 could not have been nicer, more welcoming, and helpful. They and one of the guests, the fact that I had 3 suitcases, and the maze of cobblestone roads were what kept me there. I felt physically safe, which is very important to me as a solo single traveler. Also, it was only €12/night. Abubakr, the manager, was the nicest dude ever. He helped me schlep my three (two of them very big and heavy) suitcases through the cobblestone maze and several flights of stairs on the day I left. I offered him a tip and he wouldn't accept it. He clearly works really hard and I really appreciated him. My suitcases sat unlocked on the second floor and nothing was stolen. Also, in at least two of the showers, the water wasn't draining properly. I told the owner and he fixed them immediately. If the place was worked on a lot more and I was on a tight budget and only had one small suitcase, I would consider going back if I ever went to Tangier again.
Disclaimer, this was my first hostel experience ever. Overall the hostel is just in poor condition and not the cleanest. The owner, Khalid, nicest guy ever, told me that this is his first business so I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement and I think he's aware and working on it. I think the toilets, sinks, and showers (not the hardware in the showers or not cleaned at all) were new but everything surrounding in the bathrooms was kinda gross. There was a cleaner who cleaned the bathrooms everyday, and bless her heart, she was having really bad foot pain (possibly more ailments) while I was there. I could tell she was really struggling. There were wires everywhere, not enough outlets for our phones and whatnot. The first room I was in was super cramped and stuffy. The third night I was there there were a couple girls coming in and out of the room and talking until after 6am. Not sure if they were having a family emergency or what was happening, but very disruptive. The breakfast offered is definitely not suitable for a gluten free diet, so I didn't pay for it. The roof area was okay. Lots of smoking up there and ashtrays. I would have spent more time up there otherwise. I did a load of laundry and it cost me 50 dirhams.

Verified reviewThe location is good and there is a fun terrace to sit and relax. Staff was very sweet, spoke english and gave recommendations as well. There's lockers to keep your stuff
The exact address is hard to find but asking locals helped us. The entire place could use some cleanliness including the terrace and kitchen area. The linens were not very clean either.

Verified reviewI recently spent 2 nights at this amazing hostel near the beach in Tangier, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality and helpful local tips. The location is absolutely unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach with stunning views of the sea, especially at sunset. The hostel itself has a cozy, laid-back vibe with plenty of common areas to relax, including a rooftop terrace where I enjoyed my morning coffee with the ocean breeze. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet at night. I booked a dorm and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and well-maintained it was. The shared bathrooms were spotless, and there was always hot water. What really stood out was the sense of community. I met travelers from all over the world, and the hostel often organized small group activities in the evening, including a communal dinner one night that was delicious and super affordable. Whether you're looking to explore Tangier's rich culture or just relax by the beach, this hostel is the perfect base. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning my return. Highly recommended!
