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.).

NetherlandsAmazing location and very friendly and welcoming staff! You can walk into the dunes from the terrace. They’re still working around the place. Airco and plenty hot water in the shower. Only downside was the food, didn’t seem really fresh.

SlovakiaThe WiFi worked intermittently.
The location is absolutely perfect, right at the beginning of the dunes and away from the busier areas. I recommend this accommodation for families with children in the summer due to the pool. The room was clean with basic amenities. There is an option to order drinks or have dinner prepared. The breakfast was excellent, served as a buffet. The price-to-quality ratio met expectations.

RomaniaEverything was great!
Just spent a really awesome night in the Sahara desert at Kasbah Erg Chebbi. The place is great, right at the start of the Erg Chebbi dune, you couldn’t feel more close to nature than this! I enjoyed the traditional vibe of the kasbah, the lounge spaces, the garden, the terrace in front where you can look at the stars. My room was spacious and very clean, with a big bed and good shower pressure. I have to admit, I was skeptical about going to the desert in July, but they have AC running non stop in the room and the shared spaces, making the experience so much easier! The staff is friendly and they served us a really tasty dinner last night, the best tagine I have eaten in Morocco so far. The pool is big and clean, maybe needs a bit more loungers and stuff, but I couldn’t care less. I took a dip in the afternoon and it was perfect on this heat. Big like for Kasbah Erg Chebbi!

FranceIt was a bit to touristy for us which is not really our type of location (but that is a matter of opinion). The welcome was less welcoming and based more upon the formalities. The location has more potential than what is exploited and could do with a little maintenance (mainly in the outdoor areas).
Located right on the edge of the dunes (away from the main tourist center). It was really nice to walk out directly onto the dunes and enjoy the desert. The rooms were huge, clean and comfortable. The communal areas were pleasant. The food was very nice and the kitchen staff were friendly. The pool was great to freshen up – be it cold! The staff helped arrange a camel ride a sunset which was the highlight of our stay. Our guide, Mohammed was a lovely humble person who was a pleasure to spend time with.

FranceThe road getting to the property is quite rough for a little car, but not too much of a problem. The hot water pressure was sometimes nonexistent. The drain in my shower was not draining... Also, only a transparent "mesh" curtain in the room, so the room got super bright early in the morning... This was a bit odd. All minor issues though, but overall, I was super happy! I would be happy to book again.
I stayed for three nights at this hotel and really enjoyed myself. The location is probably the best you can get in the whole area. You step off the terrace onto the sand and can walk directly to Erg Chebbi dune. Super comfortable bed! The staff are all young, energetic and helpful. The dinner room was beautifully decorated and the dinner service was really good. The best breakfast I also had in my whole trip in Morocco. Really good value for money and top location!

United KingdomThe reason to choose this place was its location just at the desert and swimming pool but the pool was very dirty and impossible to use. The aircon was on only between 6.30 pm to 6.30 am. The air conditioner in the family room was not working so we were given two rooms.
The location was excellent. The breakfast was unlimited with the Berber omlet and fresh orange juice. Everything was very tasty. The staff were extremely helpful.

SpainIt was a very fun experience and the staff were great - young and friendly. However there were a few funny things here and there - not much communication over when breakfast/lunch/dinner was supposed to be, no menus, sometimes meals took quite a while (1 hour) but that’s the norm for Morocco. If the staff and hotel wasn’t lovely in general, this would have been problematic, but it was great.
This place is right on the dunes which is perfect for walking around the dunes. The photos of the room don’t do it justice - it looks much better in person. The food served is also very good. It was a fun experience staying here.

United KingdomThe hotel has the potential to be an incredible place if a little money was spent on it which I think they're doing because theres a lot of construction going on. The price is good for what you get and if you're all about location and don't mind a bit of rustic then this hotel is a hit.
The location couldn't be better next to the sand dunes and the staff were great especially Omar who made us feel very welcome and was very attentive. It has family feel to it which we liked, everyone was very nice. We loved the live music too.
