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.).

no toiletries provided at all :(
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry if you felt something was missing in terms of toiletries. You had at your disposal rose-scented shower gel and shampoo, toilet paper, as well as both large and small towels. We're not sure what might have been lacking, and it's a shame this wasn’t mentioned during your stay. It's always more helpful and constructive to share your suggestions with us on-site rather than afterwards in a comment, especially when we haven’t had the opportunity to understand what the issue was. We provide all the essentials expected from a guesthouse offering good value for money, without claiming to deliver the services of a luxury hotel. We wish you all the best and many wonderful stays in the future. Isabelle et Mohammed

Verified reviewThe location was excellent for exploring the Valle des Roses and Dades valley, and the views stunning. Isabelle and Muhammed were so welcoming and friendly. Delicious breakfasts - everything homemade and plentiful. Muhammed kindly invited us to his family home to share itfar. This was one of the highlights of our trip, an honour to be included in this special celebration. Sadly the weather wasn't great for our stay - the wind was strong which meant that we couldn't enjoy all the beautiful outside spaces. The beds were very comfortable with extra blankets if needed.
It's hard to find fault when our stay was so enjoyable. A hairdryer would have been useful. The room was quite cold due to the wind, perhaps it would have been difficult to heat however the very British institution of hot water bottle would have been bliss. These are very minor things though.
Thank you so much, Cécile, for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, the warm welcome, the homemade breakfasts, and the special moment shared with our family for iftar. It was a pleasure to include you in this tradition. We’re sorry that the wind and the weather were not ideal – unfortunately, the climate can be unpredictable, especially during this season. We hope to welcome you again under clearer skies so you can fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. See you soon in the Vallée des Roses 🌹🌹🌹

Verified reviewWe spent a night as a stopover on the way to Merzouga, in December and had a special night. We shared a superb dinner around a big table with other guests, while the young host entertained us with Moroccan stories... A stay to be remembered.
The room was too cold. Ironically the host offered us an extra router to boost our wifi connection in the room instead of an electric heather. This is 2024, folks...
Thank you for your feedback and for appreciating our friendly dinner around a large communal table. Regarding your comments, we would like to remind you that our traditional Kasbah, built with pisé, offers excellent thermal insulation. Our rooms are equipped with high-quality bedding, including warm duvets and blankets, to ensure your comfort. The absence of air conditioning or electric heating is clearly stated at the time of booking, and we understand that some travelers may prefer accommodations with these features, which are generally available at higher rates. Lastly, our Wi-Fi is available throughout the Kasbah, although the signal may be weaker upstairs. There was no irony in offering you an additional router to improve your connection; it was simply a kind gesture on our part. Kind regards, Isabelle and Mohammed

They work very hard to make your stay enjoyable. The location: after the busyness of the Rose festival in town, it was so lovely to come back to the tranquility of this place. I enjoyed having breakfast and dinner on the terrace overlooking the red sandy hills and river of the valley. Watching the sunset every day was one of my favourite moments. The room: beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds, quiet. The food: delicious! I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you Isabelle and Mohamad.

Verified reviewMaison d'hôtes IZZA is a hidden gem! Isabelle and Mohammed are both amazing hosts. The property is removed from the center of town, but it is tranquil and serene, overlooking the valley. The decor was beautiful, bed EXTREMELY comfortable, and the entire property was exceptional. Do yourself a favor and make sure to secure dinner at the property because it is delicious! Every course was scrumptious and we were so full! Mohammed even made me rose and saffron tea which I still dream about as it was so so good and a perfect way to end the meal. Breakfast on the terrace was also beyond delicious. Mohammed helped give us great information on where to find rose products and tips for our journey the next day. We wish we could've had another night at this property but we are so so glad we found it. Thank you again Mohammed and Isabelle for the amazing memories!

Verified reviewIsabelle and Mohammad’s little homestay completely exceeded our expectations! Beautiful interior design and very warm energy throughout, of the people as well as the place. They were so welcoming making us immediately feel at home. We only stayed for a night, but gained a lot of insights into Berber culture through conversations with Mohammad about his mentality and mindset on life. Although we are very picky eaters we can confidently say that the Berber dinner with some french touches that Isa and Mohammad, as well as the berber breakfast that Mohammad’s sister prepared were the best food we’ve had in Morocco so far.

Verified reviewI've been in Morocco a month, this place is beautiful and exceptional in every way. Brand new lodging that has been tastefully and carefully designed with traveler's comfort in mind— it seems no details have been overlooked. Spacious rooms, that are as SILENT AS THE DESERT, truly, the walls are made from natural materials, so if you've been to the desert you know what I'm talking about, you feel you're in a little protected, safe haven of a cocoon that is so cozy and blissfully silent— I slept 12 hours a night and never wanted to leave. It was amazing. Their furniture is hand carved, lots of shelves to stay tidy, tasteful, simple uncluttered decor, screens on windows, rugs with no shoes inside so nice and clean, the softest beds, super comfy pillows and sheets, awesome super absorbent fluffy towels; slanted floors in bathroom to prevent the dreaded Moroccan chronic wet bathroom problem, the hot water DOES NOT RUN OUT OR GLITCH, soft lighting, sunset views, sweeping vistas outside, and the WIFI! I could write love sonnets about the speed and reliability of the wifi— everywhere— it is throughout the accomodation and it is incredibly fast. everywhere. I am in shock and awe and gratitude. Common rooms are lovely and creative. The breakfast was delicious, they put roses in their tea, and the body wash was amazing, and they were lovely, kind and helpful hosts. Really I can't give enough stars. I'd live here if I could.
they are still installing heating, so I was chilly walking about at night in my room in winter. no bottled water comes with the room which is unusual in my experience, you have to buy it.
We appreciate your praise! Receiving your positive feedback on our accommodation in Morocco fills us with joy. Your appreciation for the details and comfort of our rooms is a wonderful reward for our efforts. We are delighted that you found our home peaceful, with special touches such as hand-carved furniture and soft lighting. Your comments and suggestions are valuable, although we would like to explain that adding drinks to the rooms is constrained by our current rate, which already includes breakfast and a welcome drink. Drinks during meals are typically included. We hope this does not impact your overall satisfaction, and we look forward to welcoming you again for an equally enjoyable stay in the near future!
