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 reviewEnvironment, food , staff .
Extra city tax money added to the stay . Per night, 2.5 euro , which wasn't there in the advertisement.
Sorry for the misunderstanding but the city tax is advertised in your reservation also booking says that you need to pay it directly in the accommodation

Verified review- staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, easy to talk to and made us feel very safe as two female travellers. they also provided loads of i for about what we might enjoy doing on our trip -when we had an issue with our room in the middle of the night , the staff was really accommodating helping us solve the problem -breakfast on the terrace was nice - felt very safe, lockers were provided with keys -quick online communication -very clean and amazing location in medina -great quality for the price point
-small suggestion but having a signpost to make the property more visible at night might be useful to help locate it

Verified reviewThis hostel is a gem! Very well located and easy to find inside the Medina. Youssef was an amazing host, always helping when I needed and providing the best service. The breakfast is simple but enough (coffee, milk, tea, mermen, butter, fromage, jam, honey, bread and boiled egg). Wifi worked really well (I work remotely and didn't have a problem at all). The hostel is overall clean, enough bathroom for everyone and always clean. The terrace has a nice view as well! I didn't use the kitchen to cook, just made some toast but from what I could see you have everything you need to cook a simple meal.
I think a deep clean inside the rooms would be nice, and also a shelf for the top beds to put phones, earplugs etc (a book from the woman on the top bed fell on my in the middle of the night because there's no were to leave it when you sleep).

Verified reviewVery nice hostel with comfortable rooms, different common areas including a really nice rooftop where you can also enjoy your breakfast in the morning. The people working at the hostel are amazing and happy to help and show you around. We had a really good time and even got help after we missed our train and got stranded in marrakech!!

Verified reviewThe hostel had a very friendly atmosphere. It was quite and calm for beeing inside the medina. Rooms were spacious and cleen and the rooftop was nice with two floors. The hostel maneger was very friendly and generous with all his knowledge of both marrakech, moroccan culture and life in general. We missed our train and he helped us creating a new and much better plan for transport the next day - and we got to stay another night. Definitely the best little place in morocco.
