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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsIf anything the fact that you are in a bit of a compound. Don't expect to go eat out on the fly because all the restaurants in the area work on a reservation-only basis. The town next to Jnane Tihihit is a bit of a slum, especially after the earth quake, but it probably wasn't great before either, without paved roads in the town. Hopefully the community will (re)build as it is currently a bit of a sad sight, with people living in temporary tents. Other than that it's a beautiful area. Don't expect a cheap stay btw, the prices are European. A three-day stay set us back some 1200 euros including food, but this was also due to the fact that we rented a second room for our oldest (they offered to place an extra bed in the Pavillion but we preferred an extra room).
It's a beautiful place, loved the accommodation. Great swimming pool, very friendly and helpful staff, helpful owner, fantastic food, especially the lunch. The farm animals are a great bonus. We rented a Pavillion for four and a double room (traveling with three kids). The pictures and description don't do it justice. The pavillion actually has two rooms and two bathrooms, all very nicely decorated and luxurious soft linen, thick walls that keep it cool even when it's hot, large private area in front of the pavilion with a fridge to keep water or other food cool. The double room was set in a charming little courtyard. All done with lots of care.

United KingdomNothing at all. *Only an info: You can book half board or eat a la carte. I wished we would have known the possibility to book half board which would have been more suitable for us. I only found it out at the check out by reading through the brochure. No TV in the rooms. WiFi didn't work at least during our stay.
+INGRIDIENTS: chicken meat, goat meat, duck meat, fresh eggs, fresh pomegranate juice, fresh orange juice, lemonade, fresh milk, cheese at breakfast, figue jam, orange jam, all the vegetables they cook with- ALL THAT COMES FROM THIS FARM! That is so impressive and such a rarity these days. +FOOD: beautiful, tasty, special 10* +comfortable large bed at least 180x200 cm +pillows comfortable, bedding natural fabric, duvet large and cozy +you feel relaxed and safe 100%. We never locked our room. +STAFF: polite, friendly, hardworking, really doing everything to please their guests +THE OWNERS: a lovely welcoming couple who made their vision to reality. Impressive to see that farm which is over 20 years of work. +POOL area is relaxing. Unheated pool. +Activities. We milked a cow. Saw a freshly born horse. Absolutely wonderful place for kids.

BelgiumLittle paradise on earth, close to Marrakech! We spend 4 nights with our two kids (one of 3 years old and our baby) and we had a wonderful time. I could cry thinking about it. We are definitely coming back!! Just walking around the place is a delight, the food is delicious, the staff is so friendly and there are so many animals and fruit trees and flowers ... it's stunning. Even more beautiful than the photo's here give away.The farm is 'self sustainable' so what you eat, comes directly from the land. And let's not forget about the view!!!! While you're on the terrace or at the natural swimming pool, you get blue skies and incredible views of the atlas mountains, with snow peaks. There are a lot of activities you can do; horse riding, donkey ride for smaller children, hiking, visiting Agafay dessert and watching the sunset, cooking class, learning how to make goat cheese.. and if you want to get into the city of Marrakech, you can, it's about 45 min away. You don't need to book a riad in the medina of Marrakech if your departure time is during the night or early morning. They fix you a taxi anyway! But if you really want to, the owners have a riad aswell, Dar Touyir

United KingdomEverything about this place is magical, the ethos, the mountain views, the animals and the team! We travelled with our toddler, they provided a cot and nothing was too much trouble - warm milk for her every night, when we asked for a small bath as she is scared of the shower, no problem! We walked to the lake along the dried river path, worth doing in the evening sun, the animals everywhere were incredible, our daughter made friends with the baby goats the peacock the donkeys, the cats! It's wonderful for animal loving kids! The pool is refreshing and the food out of this world and all (mostly) grown on site. If your vibe is agritourismo and you want to escape for some very chilled zen time this is perfect. We enjoyed feeling out in the middle of nowhere most days and when we wanted to explore a bit further we took a trip arranged by the team over to the mountain valley but honestly could have holed ourselves up here for another week at least!

A fabulous place to stay. In fact, we found it even much better than expected. Extremely nice staff, great little huts in the middle of the farm. The food was excellent. It is wonderful how lovingly this farm was built and maintained. We were also able to take an exciting trip to the Atlas Mountains and small villages with our own car. Highly recommended!

Best farm experience in Morocco. Cool owners that really make you feel at home and like family. Open door policy to their animals which is so cool! We felt super comfortable and welcomed. They have a lot of animals like cows, horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, cats, sheeps, chickens, turkeys, etc. All their staff is really sweet and strive to do their best. They also offer cool activities like milking cows and goats, making cheese, camel rides, horse back riding, Moroccan cooking class, activities for kids…They have heaters for winter time and hot water all year round for warm showers. I really loved it and highly recommend it!!!

United KingdomNothing. It is worth noting that this is very remote, if you don’t have a car you wont be eating out, you’ll be eating the (delicious) food prepared from the stay’s kitchen so factor this into your budget. I think its around £10 ish per meal (3 courses), well worth it!! Nicest food we had in Morocco (and good veggie options).
I travelled with my partner (both 25y, from England in April) and stayed for two nights. It was the most peaceful, relaxing place we have ever been! Great views, great staff, great food. I would really recommended this for anyone looking for maximum chill out- I will definitely be going back!! Also would like to point out that the pictures do not do this place justice, the little houses are lush and there is a whole entire orchard of pomegranate trees that you can sit between in the sun

United KingdomIt is such a shame to have to write this however it’s important to be honest in the feedback - the farm has huge potential but it just feels neglected. Overall the place did not feel clean or well maintained - some examples of just a few: in the first room we stayed in there were holes in the curtains, in the second room we could smell a bad drain in the bathroom and the basin didn’t drain property, towels and bedding are very old, there was litter around the farm. There were bones in the garden terrace that the cats and dogs would gnaw on during meals which was very off-putting. The furniture seemed grimy as the animals sleep on it.
This is an idyllic set up for children - our son loved the farm. The opportunity to get stuck into farm life was amazing for him. The farm is very rustic but it has lost its charm. The accommodation is functional, yet lacks finesse and style.
