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 KingdomKitchen could have done with some washing up liquid and a washing cloth in it. Also, one of the shower heads didn’t work. Neither of these things ruined our stay though.
We stayed in the 2 bed apartment and had everything we needed for 2 adults + 2 teenagers. Bedrooms were a good size with clean fresh sheets and duvet. Living space / kitchen were very welcome, as was the additional terrace at the top. Staff were very helpful, arranging quad bikes for us at a good price as well as massages in the spa downstairs.

United KingdomFor a family of 5 it was near impossible to hail taxis as they mostly only take 3 people max. The staff kindly ordered taxis for us this just meant it was 20 dirham instead of 10 but actually it’s easy to walk to the medina, along the beach in 20-30 mins, depending on your speed.
Really clean, spacious and comfortable apartment which was nicely decorated and opened out onto the lovely large roof terrace. The bathroom was modern and the shower huge and powerful. The living room/dining area with kitchen were larger than how it looked in photos. The staff were so kind and friendly. The kids particularly loved the reading corner, the games and the breakfasts containing lots of sweet items. The beach was a few minutes walk and the kids also enjoyed swimming in the pool on the ground floor. The restaurants recommended by the staff were excellent and the meals we had at the hotel restaurant were delicious. Thanks again for a great stay.

United KingdomReally beautiful place to stay, good facilities, friendly staff. Generous breakfast on a beautiful terrace, the lady at reception even let us come early for breakfast so we didn't miss out on our last day! We loved the shower, great design and water pressure! The location was perfect for us, less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and you can easily walk to the Medina or get a cab for around 10 dirham.

United KingdomQuite a long walk from the medina area (about 25/30 minutes), which we realised when we booked and didn't mind. Beach is just a few minutes walk away. The nights were particularly cold during our stay at the end of November and we were quite cold in our room despite a little heater. Unfortunately the cold weather meant we didn't make use of our terrace or the pool (obviously not the fault of the hotel!).
Very nice hotel in a quiet, residential area. A really lovely roof terrace. Excellent breakfast and helpful staff. We extended our stay to 3 nights rather than the 2 we originally booked as we liked it so much. The hotel is quite close to the CTM bus station (under 10 minutes walk).

United StatesNot a lot of bathroom privacy in our double room - a window to the bathroom area from the sitting room and a door that didn't go to the floor. But...in all three places I've stayed in Morocco so far none of them have very private bathrooms! Some noise from room overhead but clientele was mature and respectful, and no noise during prime sleeping hours (11ish-8ish)
It was great being outside of the Medina- much quieter and nice to walk along the beach in the morning to get to the central area.

CanadaOur room seemed bigger on pictures, but it was quite tight for 4 people and the bathroom was inside one of the rooms so everyone comes in. No windows really to ventilate the rooms (only the entrance and one that goes to another wall). Therefore, even with a floor fan it was quite hot a night. The bathroom and the room had see through windows to the other room, so not much privacy. It was very beautiful but I can’t imagine staying in that room for a very extended period of time.
It’s very beautiful and relaxing. Seems like there are many rooms but it wasn’t crowded or loud. There is parking right in front, the hotel is easy to find and it’s close to the beach. The breakfast was very tasty, although I wish they would start serving it earlier than 8:30. There is a beautiful rooftop terrace and swimming pool on the ground floor. We didn’t have time to check out their spa services unfortunately, maybe next time. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomThe shower didn't drain well so we had to stop mid shower. We could have done with more coat hangers and cushions on the outdoor seating would have been nice.
My family and I spent a week at Vent Des Dunes, We stayed in the family room with the terrace. It was a spacious room and was spotless. The shower room and toilet were separate and both had sinks. It was on the ground floor in a quiet corner of the hotel, perfect for families. The terrace was great for evening card games. The pool was small but spotless and we used it every afternoon. Breakfast on the roof terrace was delightful and the friendly staff did their best to accommodate my family's range of dietary requirements. We booked airport transfers via the hotel. And camel rides. Both were excellent and I would recommend arranging these via the hotel. My daughter and I also used the spa, it was wonderful, extremely relaxing. I would highly recommend staying at Vent Des Dunes.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything not to like! It was wonderful.
We liked everything about the property! The family room was absolutely beautiful!!! The grounds, the roof terrace too. The owner and the staff were very kind, attentive and available at all times. They gave us information on places to visit and what to do during our time there. I liked that we were treated like friends, not like we were customers. We didn’t have anything other than Breakfast as we were out for the afternoon/evenings but I believe the staff would have used very fresh produce and cooked with love and care.
