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 breakfast is ok but only if you get early, if you get after 9 you might not have the chance to eat banana, tomatoes, cucumber and bread. They only do more coffee or tea, the rest is first come first serve.
Is the first time I'm in a room where you cannot close de door, anyone could go in and they don't use lockers. You only have 1 draw for keeping documents safe. The bathroom in our floor is literally next to the "reception" so just imagine having to use it while someone is doing the check in. The showers also without doors! So uncomfortable! The first floor is also terrible for noise because you're next to the street and you hear every night children playing, cats fighting and the call for the pray. If you're able to pay more please stay in another place!

Verified reviewThe room was as pictured
There is no WiFi and phone data does not work in the hostel, anywhere. The staff was very rude when I was upset because they advertise having WiFi. It was late and the owner told me to deal with it or leave. They didn’t offer anything and were extremely rude. I have traveled in 6 continents budget travel always and never in 15 years encountered such awful people, service, or treatment. Really do not stay here.

Verified reviewVery central in the Medina. Car can’t access but can get pretty close. My flight arrived late so I asked for an airport transfer and it was easily arranged, the driver was very nice and friendly and helped me to the door even though it was super late. The place was nice with a beautiful terrace. Breakfast included was plentiful.
The dorm was near the door and street so slightly noisier, but with earplugs I had no problems.

Verified reviewExcellent breakfast every morning and very friendly/welcoming staff. Overall a very hospitable and relaxing environment.
Can be quite loud at night due to people in the streets and potentially other guests near the rooms. It was also a bit hard to find when I first arrived.

Verified reviewThis hostel is super nice, the people working there are the best, so helpful and open, I learned a lot about Moroccon culture from them. The location is right in the medina, you can walk from the port in 15min. The breakfast is amazing, all vegetarian :)
It was very noisy during the night, around midnight a huge noise woke me up, very strange. I had to use earplugs, but so far everywhere in Morocco, so not the hostels fault.

Verified reviewThe staff were absolutely amazing! They were super helpful and would help you with anything and everything. They give amazing tips on where to go and how to get there. The location was great. In the old Madina close to the souks, everything is within walking distance. If I go back to Tanger i am definitely staying here again.
There was no fan or airconditioning in my room. For me it wasn't that bad because the weather wasn't super hot yet (around 20-23 degrees at night). But i can imagine it not being nice in the summer heat. The showers were shared, which was completely fine. But there was quite a bit of mold in the showers, which is unfortunate. Besides the mold it was clean and kept clean by the staff daily.

Verified reviewSimple accommodation with hardish beds ( that I liked) with nice rooftop places to sit out and a kitchen to make a drink or simple meal. Good value for simple accommodation in the city
Unfortunately the roof social areas are right outside the rooms and so unthoughtful guests and staff can make it too noisy to sleep. I had to ask guests to keep the noise down at 1am, yet staff had not asked them to do so, even though they were close by!

Verified reviewDormitory is ok, 4 bunk beds in the female dorm, with socket beside your bed; 3 restrooms in the property, comfortable and clean; good common areas (rooftop, terrace and a porch) with excellent wifi. Staff was friendly (i met Mohassine and a german volunteer)
Unfortunately breakfast starts at 9 and we should leave earlier, we weren't offered a take away solution even if breakfast was included, i suggest to give the possibility of a take away box that would help in case of early flight. The picture of the terrace on the sea is of another building in front of the property. The alley is narrow and a bit dark, at evening some unfriendly guys (but of course it's not the property's fault). I suggest a signal with the name of the hostel at the door
