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 reviewOur suite was very spacious and comfortable. The swimming pool was large and my children really enjoyed it. The breakfast room was very charming and delightful. The location was in a very beautiful, peaceful and affluent area, away from the hectic busy streets, shops and souqs yet within commutable distance by taxi. Our host Idriss was very friendly, helpful and kind.
Nothing. We were very happy.

Verified reviewThe riad is beautiful. The ornate tiles and intricate design of the room are amazing. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating.
The location is not close to the city center. Need a car or taxi. If you want to walk to the nearest restaurants or mini grocery, it is hilly. In the room, there is a lack of electrical outlets, and the couple outlets that are available, need to be fixed. They are just hanging on the wall - not very safe. The TV in the room was not working when we got there. The microwave in the kitchen was not working as well. It would have been nice to have hot water to make tea anytime of the day. Breakfast food is the same everyday.

Verified reviewThe Lady who made my breakfast and attended my room was exceptional and lovely.
Pool was advertised as being in working order, but it was not, and the same was true for the bikes and the heater in the room. I was brought a plugin heater which worked well.

Verified reviewWorst experience ever. The accomodation was in an unacceptable state: pool was dirty (health hazard), they didn’t provide enough towels and we had to ask for more. They then provided us 3 items: two damaged with holes, one was not even a towel it was an old used robe Bed frame was broken There was an awful smell from the bathroom that prevented us from using it There were flies in the room No bedsheet upon arrival we had to ask for them (!). We tried to discuss with the accomodation and they just denied all our experience claiming they provide top service. Stay away from this scam and look through the real human comments before booking.

Verified reviewNothing
The cleanliness, the room was very very dirty, missing towels and covers, we had to keep asking them to provide it. When provided, towels were dirty and had stains. The AC was automatically controlled, so at times you would die of heat or die of cold. There were bed bugs. And the toilet had no air ventilation and the pipes were clogged. Not worth the price paid. There is a pool but it’s very cloudy and dirty, not well maintained. Breakfast options very limited, and there were flies all over the food.
The suite you booked was perfect you ask for towels we give to you and air conditioning is good perhaps you didn't adjust it correctly you would ask our staff to do it for you. I am sur you have enjoyed our breakfast fresh typical and diversified.Be sure that our pool is always cleaned .

Verified reviewBreakfast buffet was large and provided many options including different breads, msmen, eggs, fruit, meat, amloo, honey, croissants etc. The room was clean though there were a lot of ants. Bathroom was clean, and the room was cleaned during our stay. Bed was very comfortable and air con was quiet so could be left on overnight when it was hot.
We were not given the room that I booked specifically. When asked I was told the room was not available due to some issues with electricity but I later found another couple in that room - so not impressed with that! Breakfast was nice in being a large buffet with lots of options, no warm bread or msmen though. Toilet had no bidet facilities. The balcony was attached to the toilet which meant it wasn't that usable (the room I had booked had a balcony attached to main part of room). When asked for, some tea was provided on arrival but overall there was nothing extra for the extra we spent on this property compared to others on our stay in Morocco. There were a lot of ants in the room but this may have been a summer issue.

Verified reviewI loved the pool. It was the whole reason why I booked this place and was quite pleased with it. A lot of chlorine in it is my only criticism.
Sadly this establishment if not taken care of will be run down. It feels like the love for this place is steadily falling and needs some love and care. I would hate to see such a beautiful house forgotten about and ruined
we appreciate your opinion but be sure that such heritage is very precious for us and we have done good restoration till now . That Guest house is a part of us and we care seriously about the authenticity of the building.
