Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We loved this place. House is beautifully decorated with all little moroccan details. Location is top - just in the heart of medina. It was very warm, we didnt have to use the heater. Rooms are cleaned daily. Hot water with good pressure in the shower (not so obvious in Morocco). The couple that owns the place is lovely! We loved chatting with them and they were very helpful with everything.

United KingdomHusband is 6ft 4 and our bathroom was narrow so not comfy for him using toilet as knees on wall. Stairs big, uneven and steep (like a lighthouse) so not recommended if any mobility issues. Having said that we booked for a character authentic property and everything was great and very clean. The description did not mislead. We had the private bathroom separate from our bedroom. We knew this prior and big fluffy towels were provided so no bother for us.
Character of the property and furnishing, lovely managers. Roof terrace. Location. Kitchenette.

United KingdomWe loved everything!
We loved everything about this charming property. But a standout for us was the roof terrace, it is truly higher than its counterparts allowing for uninterrupted views of sunrise and sunset. Hassan was very welcoming and helpful. We also loved having an open fire for the chilly evenings and the communal kitchen on the roof terrace was very well equipped for our needs.

GermanyWe booked a double room with private bathroom. The bathroom was "private" in so far as we had it to ourselves, but to use it we had to cross a public hallway. The bathroom was nice and clean but tiny which made it a little complicated to get dry and dressed in there after showering.
Helpful and very friendly staff, great rooftop terrace.

United KingdomThe bathrooms were a little bijoux.. fine if you're short and slim!
Beautifully and tastefully decorated. Spaceous rooms, and well located in the Medina. Malouda is very welcoming and a warm host. The roof terrace is a wonderful place to watch the sunset, with great vistas over the old town and coast. Great value for money.

AustraliaThe staff were lovely and the rooftop nothing less than amazing. The property was well kept, clean and cared for. The design is artistically stylish with abundant space and high ceilings. Lots of art books, elegant lighting, fabulous kitchen and open windows letting in the sea breeze. Kitchen provided all the utensils of a homely kitchen. I would recommend this guesthouse to my friends and colleagues. Only one curvy kasbah street away from the main drag.

The view from the terrace is stunning and we loved the location as just off the main medina street. The owners and staff are so helpful and accommodating - we arrived at 2am and Hassan was up waiting for us. Highly recommend this place and hope to be back soon
