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 StatesEvery moment in Riad Dades Birds was joyful! We enjoyed chatting with Brahim and Mustapha in the kitchen, ate everything they cooked on site (delicious!), enjoyed the live Moroccan music after dinner, learned Berber history and language. We loved their dog Lulu's company, and named her two puppies Simba and Nala. The gated parking lot is plus! Thanks for the extra blankets and heater!

The place in general was amazing! I love how the Riad is decorated and it's even more beautiful than it looks in the booking gallery. Mustapha and Brahim were very kind and met all our needs, we were confused about the right place to stay in the desert but they They arranged everything and found an amazing place for us. The Berber food that we had in the Riad was delicious, you should make it in your bucket list! We also had some conversations about the Berber history and took lessons about the Berber language alphabet! Finally; hopefully we'll be back in April to enjoy the Roses season. Thanks for your hospitality! 非常感谢你们所做的一切,这是我们经历过的最好的经历。

IsraelWe stayed at Riad Dades Birds for 1 night, the service, rooms and cleanliness were excellent. The extremely hospitable welcome and delicious food were memorable. Mustapha is very good Birding Guide in Tagdilt track and around. In addition to showing the special bird species of the region, He also helped me a lot in the organization of our birdwatching trips in other cities We visited in Morocco and allowed us to communicate with local guides too. Highly recommend it.

NetherlandsWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Dades Birds. We would stay for 1 night, but in the end we stayed for 3 nights and we loved it! Mustapha and Brahim are great hosts. We felt so welcomed and looked after by them. The food they prepared was delicious. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had great conversations and made music together. The room was amazing. Spacious, lots of windows so air could flow through, beautiful decorated. On our second day we went on a guided bird tour with Mustapha. We enjoyed it very much. Mustapha is an excellent bird spotter and guide. We saw eagle owls, long legged buzzard and a falcon and many other little birds. Also in the Riad there is a lot of birdlife, because of the abundant plants and trees in the courtyard. We went regularly for a little walk outside the Riad into nearby fields and gardens. The Riad is quiet and peaceful, nice terraces! But most of all the staff were great company! We will be back!

ItalyDoor for the bathroom was a bit too low and you could hit your head. AC was missing. Shower had no water pressure.
Friendly family business with a terrace ideal for star gazing. We had dinner and it was delicious but not the best vegetarian option. Breakfast is plenty and with a lot of variety. Inner courtyard emanated a typical Moroccan atmosphere.

United KingdomReally enjoyed my stay here. A charming Riad designed primarily for birders but not exclusively. It had character and was a really comfortable place to stay. Breakfast and dinner were really tasty - was impressed with the effort made to create something different each evening. As a birder, I booked half a day guiding with (the excellent) Mustafa that included the Tagdilt Track picking up a few of the local specialities in the area . Am planning another visit to Maroc next year and would definitely stay here again.

US Virgin IslandsAn incredibly comfortable and good-looking place. Nice rooms, comfortable beds, nice food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a great terrace to rest and enjoy the sunset. Definitely a great bet if you are planning to sleep near Boumalne Dades. Besides, the owners of the place know so much about birds, so if you are keen on birdwatching, do not lose this opportunity. Highly recommended.
