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.).

United KingdomOur stay at Demeures d’Orient Riad & Spa was an unforgettable experience that combined luxury, comfort, and authentic Moroccan charm. From the stunning decor to the peaceful ambiance, everything about this place made us feel like royalty. When we first arrived, we had a slight challenge during check-in as the staff member who welcomed us wasn’t very fluent in English, which led to a bit of confusion. However, once the main host arrived, communication became smooth and the language barrier was no longer an issue. From that point onward, everything was absolutely wonderful. The riad itself is breathtaking—elegantly designed, immaculately clean, and filled with the kind of atmosphere that instantly relaxes you. It truly felt like stepping into a hidden palace in the heart of Marrakech. One of the highlights of our stay was their beautiful in-house spa. The traditional hammam and massage experience was beyond incredible—Zoe and Hanna were absolutely amazing. They were so professional and made sure we felt comfortable and rejuvenated. The treatment was so relaxing and therapeutic that I went twice during our stay—each time was pure bliss and left my body feeling renewed. If you’re looking for a place that offers true Moroccan luxury, serene vibes, and top-notch spa experiences, Demeures d’Orient Riad & Spa is the perfect choice. Aside from the minor check-in issue, everything else was flawless. We highly recommend it and would love to return!

Very beautiful decor throughout with relaxing ambience. We stayed in the Byzantine suite - magnificent bathroom and spacious bedroom. The breakfast by the pool was wonderful. Staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us, a gentleman even accompanied us to the souks as we had limited time to choose presents. Thank you to the whole team for a memorable visit.

The Riad had been built to very high standards using local craftsmen and materials, the woodwork was exceptional. Our room was large , comfortable and well lit with plenty of storage. Breakfast was great and served around the pool on the central courtyard, evening meals was served around the pool or on the roof terrace, the food was very good.

SpainThe massage I booked was really bad and expensive. But that's just because the masseur was not really trained, and i'm very picky as I have massage every week. The owner was present during our stay, maybe a bit too obvious. The location is further up in the medina, not really central located, there is nothing to do outside; it takes at least 5 minutes walking through dodgy streets. Overall it is a very pleasant experience !
The Riad is a lot prettier in real than the photo, especially at Night once they put the candles on the central chandelier. The Riad is quiet, and not many rooms for a homy feeling. The staff was very pleasant and discreet.

United StatesThe only thing to be aware of is that the hotel is tucked away in a maze of small streets. Taxis can easily find it. But don’t plan to go out walking. Traffic on main streets is downright scary😁
The Demeures is beautiful, relaxing and well run. The courtyard around the pool is delightful- breakfast, lunch dinner or just hanging out. Food is delicious. We liked it even better than the other great restaurants we ate at. The staff is wonderful and simply superb! Nothing was too much trouble. Booking taxis, reservations, helping with everything! Rooms are large and comfortable. We met Zoë, the owner/manager who explained that her mother and grandmother had designed and built this special retreat and many of the staff have been with them from the beginning. All that love for their business and commitment to perfect service surely showed in our experience of staying there!

Absolutely beautiful Riad/room. The peace and serenity of the space. Wonderful relaxing breakfast. Lovely showers and toiletries (the best shampoo/moisturisers of any hotel spa ever). Such warm and friendly staff. Always welcoming.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't like is that I had to leave.
Everything about our six night stay was relaxing and perfect. Our suite was sprawling, beautifully decorated and ideal for me and my two teen boys: truly the most beautiful room we've ever stayed in. The courtyard was a magical oasis of calm. Staff was friendly and attentive (and refused tips), and Zoe, the owner, quick to help with our every request -- and even to hand deliver and administer a Moroccan cure for my son's upset stomach! Honestly, she made us feel so welcome and at home. The location was ideal, the kids playing soccer nearby in the medina a complete non-issue (they even passed the ball to us a couple times as we passed by). Bonus: expansive roof space for stargazing and listening to the call to prayer, and excellent dinners.
