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.).

United StatesWhat a gorgeous property just a short drive from the Medina. The rooms are clean, spacious and beautifully designed. The food was delicious and the staff are so warm and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend if you're looking for something relaxing and unique in the midst of nature.

United KingdomI feel it’s a little run down in places. The pool needs maintenance. We were staying in the villa and it felt shabby. We had dinner on our second night and the food was a little ordinary although the dessert was delicious. Also dinner is served in the indoor restaurant, which is a shame as it’s a little lacking in charm and character.
It’s a very chilled out and relaxing place to stay. The staff are absolutely wonderful. So friendly and welcoming. Nothing feels like too much trouble. The buffet lunch is excellent.

This property is 10/10 picture perfect. It’s quite an amazing experience staying in the eco lodges. The property and grounds were beautifully maintained. The restaurant was phenomenal, we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the dinners were affordable and absolutely delicious. Could not recommend this property and experience more.

United KingdomThe bed was very firm, but you got used to it. Otherwise, it really was perfection.
A perfect 10 night babymoon, that felt like a retreat. The property and grounds are gorgeous. We stayed in the superior double room in the main house which had everything we needed. We stayed in February and on an evening it would get colder - whilst we were at dinner the staff would make a fire in the fireplace to enjoy when we got back into our room, which was a wonderful touch. We ate at the hotel nearly every breakfast, lunch and dinner. The evening set menu was never duplicated, they managed my dietary requirements with ease (including making homemade gluten free flat breads at every meal) and the bbq/salad lunch was incredible - we’ve never eaten so wholesomely. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt really looked after without it being overbearing. A particular shout out to our three servers: Khalid, Lufti and Sharaf - they are a real credit to the business.

United Kingdomthere was nothing to not like. Families might want to know that the bathroom in the bedroom does not have a door - we made it work and it was not a problem but some people might prefer to know that in advance. The room itself was brilliant and very spacious with a serrated twin room and a large dressing room too.
Amazing hotel, wonderful staff who looked after us so well. Breakfast and lunch delicious, easy to get into town with the transfer service, pool area lovely and not crowded. Room was beautiful and comfortable, with plenty of space for the whole family. everything was great! we had dinner there two evenings and there is a set menu but they were happy to make an alternative for the children when we asked.

United KingdomAfter a fantastic stay in Essaouira at the sister property "Villa Maroc" (also highly recommended) we stayed 1 night at this property for some relaxation before travelling home. The property didn't disappoint, set in the countryside just outside Essaouria "Le Jardins de Villa Maroc" was everything we wished for. From the room, pool area and landscaped gardens it was the perfect way to end our trip. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating especially the man that served us breakfast and lunch, very warm and professional service. All in all, just like the property in Essaouira we can highly recommend and both accommodation's have a winning formula!

United KingdomOur 3 year old eats like a small bird so paying for lunch for her (albeit half) felt a bit extravagant. Also a personal preference...I found the bed a bit hard! My only other comment is that it's a bit vague as to what you are getting for breakfast or dinner (lunch is a buffet) and not always consistent (eg cous cous one day and not the next, yogurt one day and not the next, bread one day and not the next...but when we asked, the staff were happy to get us what we wanted).
Fantastic place for families with young kids if you want something more peaceful than being in the Medina. Went with our 3 year old and felt very safe and looked after - the staff are lovely. The pool area is great and loved the lunches they put on. Breakfast was also very nice (although there is no menu, so had to ask if it was possible for eggs etc, which it was). It's a very relaxing place and loved coming back to a log fire at night (we went in December and stayed in the courtyard rooms). It would be ideal to have a car, but the reception has a shuttle you can get back and forth to the Medina and it was always very quick and reliable (with baby car seat). Also found Essaouira to be a great place - good restaurants (Caravan is a must), great weather and the people are lovely and love kids. Will be back!
