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 reviewFresh bread every morning with jams, eggs, coffee and orange juice. Beautiful big pool and very calm and serene property. The staff was all very nice. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday.
The bed was a bit caved in and uncomfortable. Not a lot of options for food considering the location of the villa is far from the centre.

Verified reviewThis place is an oasis of calm! The two nights we stayed were bliss. The pool is particularly nice. Jeff and the small team make you feel welcome and are always on hand to help. Communication before and during the stay is great! The location is very quiet but it’s the perfect place to base yourself and explore. We were attending a wedding at the source hotel just up the road. Jeff was helpful in arranging us taxis with Amin, who was reliable. We only had one breakfast poolside, loved a croque monsieur sandwich at lunchtime. It was the perfect quiet chill out place by day.

Verified reviewOur first impression was WOW , the building was amazing,the details incredibly jaw dropping, the owners have done an incredible job bringing back to life with wonderful antique furniture especially the chairs in the entrance The bedroom was extremely spacious and the beds super comfortable. We had a massive balcony that overlooked the gardens which were very pretty and colourful Our Hosts Jeff and Felicia were engaging and extremely welcoming. Jeff was really helpful when we told him we wanted a tagine. He personally took us to a local seller to buy the tagines, then not only packed them carefully but also took us to the transport company to have them shipped over. Felicia cooked supper for us on the nights we stayed which was really delicious. All in all, our stay was perfect and we would come back hopefully with our family who we've praised our stay at villa kashmere

Verified reviewThe property is simply amazing. It’s like being in a mansion in paradise. The place is beautiful and so peaceful. The hosts are wonderful people, they helped us sort it out any problem or request in a timely manner.
Maybe having a cooler next to the pool where the guests could retrieve paid drinks from would make thinks easier than having to request it every time.
Thank you so much for this nice review Felipe. We hope to see you again guys. You will be more than welcome ! Cheers

Aside from all the help Jeff with everything you can think off Jeff is a nice person to have a chat with. The facilities were perfect.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay! The place is peaceful and truly magical – you wake up to the sound of birds singing, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The swimming pool was beautiful, and the beds in the room were very comfortable, making for a perfect night’s sleep. It’s a bit remote, so having a car is definitely a plus, as there isn’t much around within walking distance. But after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, this was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some peace and quiet.

Verified reviewAn Experience Beyond Compare My partner and I recently spent 8 unforgettable nights at Villa Keshmere in Marrakech, and I can say without hesitation that it was the best holiday experience we've ever had. The Villa From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of this grand property that feels like a genuine Moroccan palace. The villa is beautifully decorated with authentic Moroccan touches throughout, creating an atmosphere that's both luxurious and deeply cultural. Despite its grandeur, it quickly felt like home to us – a testament to both the property itself and our wonderful hosts. The room we stayed in featured the most impressive balcony view we've ever experienced, offering breath-taking vistas that we'll remember forever. The Dining Experience Breakfast each morning was absolute bliss – enjoying homemade, garden-picked jams and fresh fruit while sitting in the sunshine became our favourite way to start the day. We also ordered lunch several times, a refreshing tuna salad that was always promptly prepared and served to us poolside. The evening dining experience deserves special mention. Each night, we were treated to a thoughtful three-course meal, beautifully prepared by our host's wife, who is hands down the best chef who has ever cooked for us. With my partner being pescetarian, each meal was carefully created to accommodate her dietary preferences without requiring me to eat the same dishes. Every course was explained to us in detail, adding to the personal touch that made dining here feel like a royal experience.
(Review continued) The Hosts: What Sets Villa Keshmere Apart While the property itself is stunning, it's Jeff and his wife who truly elevated our stay from excellent to extraordinary. Jeff was in contact before our arrival, ensuring we knew everything ahead of our trip and arranging for his driver to collect us from the airport. Upon arrival, Jeff made us feel instantly at home, showing us around and making sure we were comfortable. Throughout our stay, he was extremely polite, helpful with recommendations for activities in Morocco, and attentive to our every need – whether we were lounging by the pool or planning an excursion to the Atlas Mountains. What touched us most was the genuine connection we formed with Jeff. This wasn't a robotic, overly professional hotel experience – it was warm, personal, and heartfelt. The homely atmosphere was enhanced by their friendly cats who greeted us each day, making the villa feel even more like our home away from home. Heartfelt Goodbye The fact that I became emotional when it was time to leave says everything about our experience at Villa Keshmere. We truly felt like we were leaving our Moroccan home and saying goodbye to friends rather than hosts. I will genuinely miss Jeff, his wife, and Villa Keshmere. This wasn't just accommodation – it was the heart of our Moroccan experience, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Jeff, for creating memories that will last a lifetime. Villa Keshmere is a true 10/10 experience that anyone visiting Marrakech should have the privilege to enjoy.

Verified reviewBeautiful stay at villa Keshmere, located about 12 km outside of the Medina! Big spacious rooms and a huge bathroom were a nice change to the rather small rooms of the riads, nice swimming pool in a beautiful garden! The owners are very friendly and helpful! For all those who like to escape the busy life of the Medina for a couple of days, this is THE place!
Thanks for your review. We are happy you enjoyed the place, the service and the staff. Be careful with the location on your next booking, which seems not to fit you, which will avoid our future colleagues to get such a bad notation about their location.

Verified reviewThe location is a bit outside of Marrakesh city and overall the area looks a bit scetchy but the place itself is very lovely. Personal is very nice and helpful. We recommend to take the dinners from them as well, the food was such a delight. Rooms are comfortable and have ac in rooms - so if you are cold or weather is too warm you can regulare the temperature easily. Overall the place is calm and quiet, with a lot of cats. We really enjoyed the stay, sunbathing and pool.
There is no small fridges in the rooms to keep your waterbottles but since they have additional services with snacks, drinks, dinners etc offered, it was fine.

His wife cooked a lovely breakfast for us and allowed us to try local Moroccan “pancakes” and bread. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city and very quiet and serene, a great holiday destination for those looking for a city break. He also gave lovely recommendations for activities we can do and places to eat. Overall, he allowed for us to have a wonderful holiday.

Breakfast was scarce and taxi service was a bit odd.
Thank you for this comment Ankli, even if I am surprised that it is a little severe. I dont understand the note for location notably since you wanted to be next to The Source (2km so good location for your special evening) and that we have transported you so far, at 11:45 pm on a December 31st day. From your taxi transfer costs, this is not my responsibility Im afraid, as Im not a taxi company. Also, with regard to breakfast (which is offered I remind you), we have done a little more than usual by offering the fruits (which should be chargeable). We offer coffee-tea + bread-crepes + honey-homemade jam + omelet + cheese-yogurt + fruit juice ... I think that arriving late, the last at the table of your group of five has generated a problem of sharing between you. Best wishes.

Verified reviewVilla Keshmere was an absolutely wonderful experience, thanks to its facilities, serene atmosphere, and close proximity to the Oasis festival. My husband, our friend, and I stayed for three days, and I’m excited to share our experience. We traveled from Marrakesh to the villa but initially had trouble finding a ride. Jeff, despite not having met us yet, was incredibly helpful. He arranged a large, comfortable car for the three of us and our considerable luggage at very short notice for just 200 MAD, a great deal compared to other options we found. The 30-minute ride was smooth, and upon arrival, Jeff greeted us warmly and even assisted with our luggage, alongside his driver/helper, Ahmed. The villa itself is stunning, nestled in a remote area with a spacious garden and a beautiful pool. Its limited number of rooms creates a cozy and friendly atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Jeff gave us a tour of the property, and the rooms were impressive—large, with comfortable beds, and elegantly designed, blending Moroccan and modern styles. The pool was clean and inviting, even after a day of rain when Jeff went out of his way to tidy up the area. Jeff also offered Ahmed’s assistance in transporting us to and from the festival. On the first night, Jeff personally drove us, and although we walked back, we asked Ahmed to wait for us the next two nights. Ahmed was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay, making the trips back and forth hassle-free.
As a seasoned traveler who has stayed in a variety of accommodations worldwide, I strive to be fair in my reviews. Unfortunately, my recent experience was disappointing. Firstly, the booking page didn’t mention restrictions on bringing food or alcohol. We only learned about this from Jeff while en route, yet the hotel’s menu offered overpriced drinks. This restriction was unexpected, as I’ve always been able to bring my own provisions. The breakfast was underwhelming—just eggs with processed cheese, not the advertised spread that included crepes. Despite understanding Jeff’s wife’s recent surgery, they should have had a backup plan for guests. Clear communication on the booking page would have allowed us to make an informed decision. Food at the pool was pricey and small in portion, and we couldn’t bring back leftovers due to the no-outside-food rule. When we finally tried their lunch, the chicken was improperly cleaned, and the fries were dry, making the meal overpriced at 600 MAD. Lastly, Jeff’s response to one of the criticism was unprofessional. It’s crucial to handle feedback gracefully and use it to improve. Honest reviews should reflect both positives and negatives, and guests deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of their feedback.
We were all disappointed and amazed at your opinion, completely opposite your compliments during your stay and when you leave. The reservation page mentions 'restaurant' which implies that you cannot bring your meals and your alcohol (and each room shows at least a photo of meal at the table in the restaurant). The continental breakfast that is offered (!) (Coffee, tea, hot chocolate) with local products (Moroccan Batbout breads, Moroccan M'Semen pancakes) served fresh of the day and at each breakfast, with omelet, homemade jams, fruit juice, is highly appreciated by our customers. Chicken badly cleaned? Do you think we kill living chickens in our kitchen to prepare them? We buy the chicken thighs at the Carrefour butcher's shop for their respect for the quality and the cold chain. The three meals for an amount of 600 MAD (60 €) (starters, main dishes and desserts, 20 €/person), have however been greatly appreciated by yourself, because you have not left a crumb. Thank you for this proof when the chef's quality of the cuisine. My criticism of your friend in his comments precedes above all that you have not had the politeness to give even 10 Mad (1 euro) to Amine (not Ahmed) who spent three nights to assist you in These back and forth between the villa and the festival. But we understand better when you think that our drinks (soda € 3, coffee € 2, etc.) are at exorbitant prices.
