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...).

United KingdomThe toilet in the design room can be viewed from the inner courtyard at night ( should consider an alternative blind).
The location is in a quieter area of the Medina but within walking distance of the square. We only stayed one night to experience a Riad. We enjoyed the stay and made use of the pool and spacious roof terrace. We also had dinner which was fresh and well made and we enjoyed the experience. Host and staff were friendly.

AustraliaWe had the in-house massage. That wasn't so great. We were left alone at the end for a long time. There are better massages in the heart of the Medina.
It was a great location if you are after more of a local experience. It is at the end of the Medina market place. The riad was a great place to retreat to after a hot and hectic day at the market. The parking is close by for 9euro a day. The GPS and google map will take you right to the accommodation. Avoid this as it is scooter territory and not much room for a vehicle. Google map to 'parking sidi Ayoub'. The accommodation is about 250m walk from here. The staff were excellent and very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it. Try the local street food near the car park. We had a great experience with the locals.

United KingdomBeautiful property with friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond. Breakfast is filling and served in their lovely inner courtyard. We made good use of the roof terrace and sun loungers (the pool was also great to have of course). I made use of their hammam too - reasonably priced and good service. I’m surprised by the comments from people complaining about the location… how lazy do you have to be to be unable to walk 15-20 minutes…?! Appreciate some people have mobility issues, but it really shouldn’t be a problem for most.

For a riad in the medina, Ballamane was very peaceful, spacious and had excellent air conditioning. It was also set in an easy to find position near a souk used by locals, and the staff were great.

SpainSome of the decorations of our room collected a bit of dust. Perhaps it’d be better to remove them. Wifi was quite slow.
We couldn’t have asked for a better hotel in Marrakech. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quaint riad, Bellamane is the place to go. Its location may not be the most central, but we actually loved the area and the shops around as they were cheaper and more authentic than those in the souk. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Our room was the Antiquare suite, which was spatious, comfortable and nicely decorated. We booked a hammam treatment in the riad’s spa and enjoyed every second of it. I would highly recommend staying here to make your stay even more memorable!

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at this beautiful riad. The atmosphere was peaceful and charming, with lovely traditional design throughout the space. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and offering great recommendations. The breakfast was very good — fresh, tasty, and a perfect way to start the day. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable experience and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech. It’s a great combination of comfort, hospitality, and authentic Moroccan charm.

Fantastic riad with very nice historic features in the beautiful rooms. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was so helpful with what to see, transportation and places to eat. The location of the riad is quiet but still within walking distance of the central square. We give Riad Bellamane our highest recommendations.

United KingdomThe property itself and the staff were absolutely lovely and as described in the blurb and online comments. Recommend getting a local sim card so you can pin its location to find more easily after a day sightseeing. Not difficult to refind but the streets look a bit different when the shops have closed up in the evening and youre heading back in the evening. It is a bit further away from the tourist action areas of the medina if you have time constraints, but if you are able bodied and curious to see more of local daily life in marrakesh the walk to and from the tourist areas gives a good glimpse of this that is less apparent closer in.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful classic riad with a beautiful pool filling one entire side courtyard on the ground floor. Everything very peacefully decorated. Transfer from airport to the hotel worked well. Lovely spacious rooms. Nicest are probably on the first floor. The roof terrace was closed for the winter but looked as if it too would be lovely in warmer weather. Great that you could eat at the hotel if you didn't want to venture out ie if arriving late the first night. Breakfast is nice but doesn't vary so if you're staying more than a few days you might decide to seek greater variation somewhere in the centre. The location is more of a local moroccan residential area than a tourist hang out though there are some other hotels nearby. Therefore unless you are happy walking (i was) for 15 to 25 minutes every day before you reach the main tourist spots / souks/ cafes and restaurants you might want to factor in getting a tuk tuk to or from the main areas. The hotel can provide a tel number to call.

BelgiumGetting around this part of the medina was sometimes complicated. However, it was exciting to experience the everyday life of Marrakesh.
Great experience overall! We were happy with the room and the helpful and welcoming staff. The staff can book everything for you- from a taxi to an excursion.
