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.).

Hello Shayne, Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the water, we use a professional purification system and serve it in refillable glass bottles for €1, as part of our effort to reduce plastic waste. One bottle is offered upon arrival, and we are proud to contribute to an eco-friendly approach. Cleanliness is one of our top priorities, and this is frequently mentioned in our guests’ reviews. We’re sorry if your impression was different and remain attentive to any comment that helps us improve. Kind regards, Team Riad Argan

Verified reviewGreat location right in the Medina, our room was spacious, clean and very functional, and most importantly the bed and pillows were comfortable. The water pressure was perfect and there were no hot water issues. Our room was at the ground floor next to the pool and reception, but the other guests were respectful so the riad was not noisy at all (this was my initial concern when booking the room as I did stay in other roads in the past where sleeping was a challenge!). All the staff was lovely, polite, friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. They genuinely did their best to make us feel comfortable. The food was fresh and very good, which I didn’t expect despite reading previous reviews. We truly enjoyed both our diner and breakfast there and appreciated that snacks were also available to purchase throughout the day. The rooftop terrace, although small, is very pleasant and we did enjoy some time there. Definitely a riad we’ll go back to if we’re ever in Marrakech again.

Verified reviewWe loved the unique charm of this traditional riad. Beautiful architecture and decor with a tranquil courtyard and beautiful rooftop terrace. Great location - walking distance to all major attractions as well as providing a peaceful retreat (I loved the serene background music played in the riad) and delicious traditional Moroccan food. Fatima and all staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It didn't fail to provide a unique experience of the Moroccan culture and life. We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Argan.

Verified reviewVery central position, cozy hall/reception area with a decorative pool.
Despite using Google Maps, we had troubles finding the correct entrance. All the other riads on that street had signs - except for Riad Argan. A local boy who was "randomly" sitting along the street took us to the entrance and then asked for money, which we politely declined. It felt like a set-up, as the boy clearly knew the people who opened the door for us. The young man who checked us in, unfortunately, was not welcoming at all - he looked annoyed the entire time. That said, he did walk us outside at 4 a.m. to show us where the airport taxi was waiting, which we appreciated. However, communication the day before had not been easy, and we had to be very proactive to get the information we needed. We had higher expectations for the junior suite we booked. The room is located on the ground floor, right next to the building's entrance and the main hall. The windows of both the bedroom and the bathroom faced directly onto the reception area, and other guests could easily hear everything happening inside the room. It didn’t feel private at all. If you wanted to sleep with the window open for fresh air, guests walking through the main hall could literally see you lying on the bed. On top of that, the room became quite warm at night, despite cooler temperatures outside. There was an old air conditioner in the room, but we didn’t feel comfortable using it.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the arrival, please note that we provide a phone number (available on Booking and displayed at the entrance) so that guests can call the reception and have someone come meet them at the door. We’re sorry this wasn’t clear in your case, and we will work on improving the signage. As for the architecture, it’s important to note that in traditional riads, all windows open onto the central patio. This is part of the charm and authenticity of this type of accommodation, though we understand it might not be suitable for everyone. We would have been happy to offer an alternative room if available. We’ve also taken note of your feedback about the welcome and the comfort of the room, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your comments — they help us grow. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again under better circumstances. Best regards, The Riad Argan Team
