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 reviewThe landscape is truly stunning—gentle hills, vibrant greenery, and expansive views that inspire a deep sense of peace. It is the kind of environment that naturally encourages reflection and relaxation. Equally remarkable are the people. Their warmth, hospitality, and sincerity create an atmosphere in which one immediately feels welcome and at ease. This is an ideal destination for those seeking rest and renewal, far from the noise and rush of everyday life. I left feeling completely recharged, and I look forward to returning in the future.

Verified reviewEvery corner of the place was very beautiful and carefully selected with attention to every detail. The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful - the view overall was amazing! The staff was also very attentive and provided us with an incredible private dinner.
The place itself was perfect, but kids of the other families were very noisy which disturbed the tranquility - something we were not expecting from a place of these standards

We are delighted that you appreciated the beauty of the setting, the comfort of your room, the view, and the attentiveness of our team.

Verified reviewThis was the nicest place we stayed in our entire Morocco trip! The staff were truly exceptional, the view was outstanding and the overall hotel was faultless. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. We ate the set menu of locally sourced Moroccan food every night and it was the best we had on our trip, with something new and fresh everyday. The breakfast was also wonderful. All of the staff were fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us, a big thanks to Fatiha, Alaa, Kaoutar, Wahib, Mehdi and especially Hamza who despite our terrible french went above and beyond. Gorgeous pool, incredible sunset and a truly unique location.
The road up is a little steep but navigable and totally worth the view.
Thank you so much Kira for your wonderful message! We’re truly delighted that your stay with us was such a highlight of your trip. Your kind words mean a lot to the entire team — especially Fatiha, Alaa, Kaoutar, Mehdi, and Hamza. We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, the view, and the experience.

Verified reviewAbsolutely beautiful property and location. The hotel feels luxurious and peaceful, with fantastic views and high quality finishes. The staff were very attentive and common areas (in addition to individual rooms) were quite comfortable.
Wifi could be stronger (extend past the restaurant). Some mosquitoes, so screens on doors/windows could be good.

Verified reviewThe view and location is incredible. The staff is super friendly and helpfull and goes above and beyond to make your stay good. Its a hidden gem, like someone took a hotel from Bali and moved to Fes. The photos dont do it justice.
The road up to the facicilities is very bad, especially some shorter sections.

Verified reviewDar el Mandar was our favourite stay in Morocco. I wish we had stayed here longer. The whole experience was incredible: the friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you, the beautiful architecture and grounds, the stunning view, the deliciously fresh food. Although the staff spoke mainly French, there was no issue and they were eager to work things out. We truly loved our stay here and would come back just for this location. Thank you to the whole team.
