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.).

Verified reviewGreat location. Inside the old town but easy to navigate. Just a few minutes from the square. The staff was great and friendly and helped us with taxi and hammam reservations. Do yourselves a favour and book the hammam that they suggest. We stayed there our last two nights in morocco, and it really felt like home. We would definitely go back and suggest this to everyone

Verified reviewI liked it, it felt safe. The place is pretty. Breakfasts were very tasty and given on the rooftop. The host, Samad, was exceptional - welcoming, communicative, very helpful. He advised us on different topics regarding Morocco. It was a memorable stay.

Verified reviewIn the middle of the old town, Medina. Location was good. Lots of lovely shops along the street. Short walk to main square. Staff were excellent, breakfast on the roof terrace was good with great selection of breads, eggs, cheese, freshly squeezed oranges, coffee and Moroccan tea. We were able to leave our bags on our last day and pick up later in the afternoon.
There was nothing I did not like about the accommodation.

Verified reviewJust the location. They have a nice terrace but having to have breakfast there, where it was so cold, was the opposite of enjoyable.
Our room was small and noisy as it was on the ground floor, the bathroom and toilet weren’t actually separated from the room, so it scores on 0 privacy. The room is cold and they have very heavy and apparently dirty/old blankets. On top of it you can only pay in cash.
You had the room you reserved, if you wanted a nuptial suite, you had to book in a large hotel ... The bathroom and the bedroom are separated by a door, these are two different rooms ... At the same time, you have booked a room in a riad, not an apartment. There is heating in all the rooms, you did not want to be put ... As for the blanket you are a liar, she was not dirty. Paying in cash is indicated on Booking, so you knew it. You are a nasty person, is it because you wanted an additional night and I refused it because we are full? You were only one night and you note 3, I ask you to remove this note which is not at all justified.

Verified reviewWe met Somiya or Somia on our last day she’s very good, speak well in English and help us find the place she even accompanied us.
Staff doesn’t speak much English, giving us wrong instructions, Smells something not good not inside the room, Noisy guests you can hear them in the night when it’s time you want to rest or sleep.
Hello Jennette, you see, I will answer you in English... you were rude from the moment you arrived... no hello, not a smile, you wanted another room... no effort on your part. We served you breakfast, at your request, at 6 a.m. in your room while usually we serve it from 8 a.m. and on the terrace... the staff speaks English very well unlike you who do not speak any French or Arabic words. You don't even make the effort to do Google Translate, you have to put everything in English. Soumia even accompanied you to show you where to take the taxi even though she didn't have to... The Riad is very quiet at night, if you heard any noises, they are coming from the street... we do not have control of people walking around at night. I advise you to make your next reservation in a large hotel, you may have better services.

Verified reviewThe hospitality of Valerie, Thierry and Samad was first class. Their riad is so quaint, clean and beautiful. The rooftop is beautiful overlooking Marrakech. I would recommend Riad Dantella to anyone looking to stay near the square. There are restaurants really close by and they organised a private transfer to the airport for me. Such beautiful hospitality. I was made to feel at home. The breakfast was so delicious. An inexpensive riad with a homely feel. Highly recommend it 🫶

Verified reviewA nice place to stay for a few days in the old medina. We really liked the staff, they were very helpful during our vacation. On the evening we arrived, the guy at reception met us and even helped carry our 4 years old son. It was really sweet of them to try to assist us. Samoya, who served breakfast, was really friendly.
Hello Lina, thank you very much... looking forward to seeing you again with us 😊

Verified reviewThe staff were really good and accommodating to every needs. They served breakfast really early in the morning to accommodate our plan for the day. Location is very good.
The roomz was really small. The bathroom could be a bit more cleaner, the basin was loose and felt like nearly broken. There was no bin for the room. Only one in the toilet. Too small to keep luggage.

Verified reviewAn impeccably clean, thoughtfully decorated yet modest riad. The attention to detail was meticulous, and the staff were all incredibly welcoming and caring. Samad served us the best tea we had in Morocco, with rich leaves of mint and so much heart. A truly warm experience in a lovingly cared for space.

The owner didn't speak English at all. Luckily, my french was *almost* good enough to understand around 70% of what she was saying. The bathroom is not fully separated from the room. There is a curtain instead of a door.

Verified reviewThis riad was amazing, great value for money and the staff were superb. Breakfast was perfect and the lady that served it was extremely attentive and was moving the parasol so the sun wasn’t bothering us. People in reviews complained about the sun but realistically it’s not an issue considering it’s inevitable. We had a lot of clothes as we were there for a while so everything pretty much stayed in suitcases as there was only one wardrobe for us both, which was very small. Cleaner was superb. Every time she came we got fresh towels, our clothes were folded, shoes lined up, toiletries organised etc. I loved this!! The host was fabulous! We’d go to smoke on the terrace and he’d bring us tea and cakes every night at no extra cost. Tea was amazing and he was telling us how it was made and bought it up to show us. Breakfast was between 8-10 but if we said an early excursion he offered us earlier times we could come up to eat. Our last night he gave us a huge piece of the cake we liked (that came with the tea in the evening) to take home with us as well as offering us breakfast at 6am the next day before we go to the airport. Things like this made me glad I booked a Riad over a hotel. The location couldn’t be better. Central to the hustle of marrakech but once you’re in the riad it’s peaceful and quiet. Only thing to note is the wall facing the patio isn’t very soundproof. But isn’t a massive issue considering there’s only 2 rooms on each floor so don’t hear people outside very often. These are extremely small things to consider though and don’t bother me but something to keep in mind. We absolutely loved our stay.
