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 reviewOur host was unbelievable. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay even walking us to a restaurant and then collecting us and walking us back. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt more like relatives than guests. Amazing! Breakfast was good and the ladies in the kitchen were welcoming and attentive. The night porters were also extremely helpful.
There was nothing we didn’t like but maybe better lighting over the street door but that’s probably outside their control.

Verified reviewLovely traditional Riad, breakfast was good, we got an authentic Moroccan experience, shower was good and always hot
Literally no sound proofing between rooms, you can hear everything, room was a bit chilly and no heating available, it all seemed like they weren’t expecting us, we arranged an airport shuttle prior and it never turned up in over an hour despite messages through booking app saying the driver was on their way. Very basic needs met but that was about it

Verified reviewNice riad. It was hard to find. No light by the door turned on and we walked right by it using GPS. We noticed that if you walk right up to the door, a light would come on. Not well labeled.
Mr. Noureddine did not respond to our WhatsApp communication when he requested that we contact him.

Verified reviewAiry riad. Good Moroccan tea. Izzedine (the young man not the manager) is helpful and talkative. Bed and bedding was clean.
Room service is nonexistent in a 4-star stay somehow. The carpet in the bedroom hadnt been cleaned for years it appeared. Bad location. Other riads in the area with less stars rating (3-stars) had directions boards in the area. This supposedly 4-star riad did not and the location on google maps is even wrong. Breakfast was disappointing, not authentic Moroccan breakfast, just an egg, an apple banana orange kiwi, of the shelf butter and jam. Three days into 6 nights total stay, manager nooreddine tells me my booking includes dinner, when i wanted it at 10pm, i was made to feel like an inconvenience. It was eventually prepared and reheated when i came back at the agreed time. Bathroom didnt have any toothpaste or more than 2 toilet rolls the entire stay, i bought my own. Light in the shower area was nonexistent. No bum washer in the toilet. Most power outlets were not working in bedroom. Lighting in the bedroom is very foggy and dim.

Verified reviewThe staff was fantastic and Noreddine made us feel welcomed. The riad is located in the North of the Medina, 20minutes from the main Jemaa el-Fna square. It was great for us to walk from the riad to the main attractions, we did it many times and it is part of the experience. Breakfast was amazing and the kids did certainly enjoy the pool most of the evenings. The area is full of local shops, not as touristic as the main areas, but that was a bonus for us. Finally, we recommend to reach the riad through the Rue Bab Taghzout: it is easier and you have more things to see.
everything was great :)

Verified reviewThe space is great and comfortable, very well designed, and good ambiance, with a great staff who was very supportive and attentive, caring and delicious breakfast.
The street to enter the riad is a bit hidden and tricky to find and trust at first if you don’t know Marrakesh and the communication can be tuff if you don’t speak arabic or french, and with the cultural differences. It’s overall ok challenges, if you are open and willing to make work.

Verified reviewVery quiet and beautiful riad with a calm and cozy atmosphere. Nouredine, Salah and the whole staff were amazing, super helpful and very professional.
The only little perk was the Wi-Fi, which sometimes didn’t reach the room we were staying in.

Verified reviewLovely and calm interior. Excellent roof space for relaxing in the open air and dipping in the pool.
We could hear snoring through the connecting door to the bedroom next to us. The host is going to add soundproofing there so should be ok for future guests.
