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):
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.).

Mimoun was there to greet us when we arrived. We were late arriving and he made sure we got food and organised a full day of activities for us the following day. We loved the campfire and music in the evening. I would highly recommend The Ecolodge to anyone. A must see in Morocco 🇲🇦.

United StatesThe shower situation is not up to par. We were advised to let the hot water run for 3-5 minutes because it is solar-heated and takes a long time to get to the tap. Not only did it seem incredibly wasteful to let all that water go down the drain in the desert, but I never actually got any hot water at all. Our family in an adjoining room eventually got hot water but not through the shower head. Even though this was a bummer, I would still stay here again. It is charming and magical.
Beautiful dessert location away from the town. Facilities were tastefully designed in keeping with Berber tradition and set in a lovely garden. The chicken tajine with olives that we had for dinner was honestly the best tajine we ate in Morocco, and the breakfast tajines were also delicious; in fact, the breakfast was exceptional all around. Very helpful staff advised on things to do in the area. Exceptional value.

FranceBeing an ecolodge you have to get used to have a shower in the evening more than in the morning since the water is warmed via solar panel
Dinner was excellent on the live music after he’s just spot-on

United KingdomCold showers but that was to be expected and we arrived quite late so didn’t think to ask anyone for help.
Great location well outside of Ouarzazate (there was no lake though). Felt secluded. Even though the last 5 mins of the drive was off road, the 2WD rental car handled it fine. Room was huge with multiple beds. Food was yum (with a vegan option) as was the wine. Resident cats were very friendly to us, but not to each other.

MoroccoThe whole place is beautiful, large comfy apartments with a spacy yard/garden and swimming pool, plenty of room if you want to have breakfast outside with a superb view, or relax by the pool after sightseeing, or enjoy a great evening by the fire. The staff - especially both Mohameds create a fantastic atmosphere - they are smart, very helpful and attentive to your needs - a huge asset to this place.

United KingdomThe only slight negative is the approach road, 1km unsurfaced which is mostly OK, but need to take it slowly in one spot. Otherwise nothing could be better.
Wonderful location, views over the desert hills and back to the city. Gardens and pool area well maintained - some reviews metion the pool being brown, the water is crystal clear, there is some sand on the bottom of the pool which is inevitable in this location. Breakfast was generous, buffet or at table service depending on how many guests there are. Dinner (extra) is good, well cooked and served. Hosts are helpful and eager to deal with any slight problem or answer any questions you might have. Rooms a good size, bed really comfortable. Wifi connection was good in the room despite a notice saying it was only available in the restaurant area. Power and hot water comes from solar panels, they have back up generators. Waste water in recycled to keep the gardens green.

CanadaThe diner wasn’t like we expected. It was a chicken tajine, but no vegetables, only fries. The breakfast was okay, but quite simple as well. The jelly wasn’t fresh, it was small packs. Service was fine, but it was slow. It should specify the road is bumpy and small cars need to be cautious. Also, we weren’t able to make the AC run, neither to have hot water for the shower.
The property is really nice. The room was super clean, and big. We enjoyed the green area and the pool, as well as the animals that stay freely at the location.

This location is very secluded, which for us it was just what we wanted, and the property and gardens etc was beautiful, but if you want to be closer to town maybe rethink staying here. You can get a local bus into town just down the road however which we enjoyed doing. Mohammed was so friendly and helpful! Thank you for everything. And the dinner was amazing, they catered to us vegans and the food was delicious. We would love to come back again one day.

After a long hike in the atlas, we booked this place to rest. It lived up to our expectations. Located outside the city around a desert area we felt like we were on another planet. The staff is very friendly. The accommodation was as per the photos. There is also alcohol on sale (a bit expensive but that's how it is there).
