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 KingdomWe had no complaints whatsoever.
The property was beautiful. A secret oasis of colour and greenery hidden away in the old town of Marrakech. A huge amount of detail has been paid to the decor of the property. It is a stunning place. The staff were so accommodating, we wanted for nothing during our stay.

PortugalThe property is somewhat isolated from places of interest to walk to.
The interior spaces are incredible in detail of furnishings, artwork, landscaping details and the facilities are maintained to an unusually high standard. The rooms are everything you could possibly want for a retreat into old Marrakech opulence. The staff are eager to assist with any request, are available any time and are happy and cheerful to assist with any guest need. The in house restaurant provided some of the best meals we’ve had in Morocco and certainly has the best ambiance of any restaurant we’ve visited.

Oh the most beautiful Riad I have stayed in. And my room was like an apartment with lots of space, a big desk where I was able to paint, and stunning bathroom with a bathtub. Luxury. I stayed several days and enjoyed breakfast on the roof and staff were willing to let me have supper in my room. Heaven for a single women who wanted lots of time to paint and enjoy privacy. And the food was top notch restaurant quality. Thank you!!!!!

Hamam and Massage were amazing, relaxing and non-rushed. Restaurant food was great. Lobby is very cozy. Walking distance from Souk. On the way back we recommend to use app Indrive. Same as uber.

United KingdomWhat's not to like???
The staff couldn't do enough for us. Wonderful and so efficiently run. My booking turned out to have been wrong, but we ended up staying 3 of 7 nights. We loved it so much, we intend to return. Great location to br dropped off by taxi - just outside the Gate, 20 yes and there's the Riad"s door on the right. Once you step through that door, you step into an Oasis, a little piece of heaven on earth. Thank you, once again, to the entire team. front of house as well as behind the scenes. Inshallah, until we meet again.

United KingdomPossibly the pillows, but if that’s all I can think about, then clearly nothing much at all.
The authenticity. This is a beautiful Riad which has been thoughtfully decorated. It is very traditional, and truly Moroccan. It has everything you need, and the food is amazing. What really makes this place so special is the staff. They work very hard to ensure that your stay is comfortable and that you have everything you need, within the accommodation and also elsewhere. You cannot help appreciating their generosity and sincerity. They are just outstanding. A wonderful experience from all staff.

United StatesThe bed was a little too hard for me. My room did not have a shower, but the bath was lovely. Be warned, there a many steep stairs through out the Riad.
The Riad is absolutely beautiful. Small and quaint. The location was perfect, quiet with easy access to taxi. About a 30 minute walk to the Medina. Google maps works great. The rooms were so spacious and beautiful. The rooftop terrace was lovely. It was too cold for the pool. The staff were so kind, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was yummy. Dinner was delicious, one of the best meals I had in Morocco. They have a full bar.

United KingdomThe room was very dark and although we could open the shutters, it was on to a communal space. so not very private. The location of the Riad is at the other end of the Medina and is a 25 minute walk to the markets through the quiet end. We had locals trying to take us on a path to the markets and didn't feel 100% safe at times. You need to really get a taxi to the main squares and markets. We paid for a junior suite to include our 14 year old. At the end of the stay the invoice included another £100 for our son to stay with us. They did eventually take the charge off the bill, but it took a little to sort including a call to the owner. Booking would have confirmed the booking with the 3 people as per our confirmation so it was disappointing that they tried to charge again for the extra bed, when it was clearly detailed in the booking.
We had a warm welcome at the Riad which has a lovely ground floor dining /lounge space. The breakfast that was served each morning was lovely with a good choice for continental, we had homemade pancakes and omlettes. The room was very spacious and good quality bedding. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have bottled water every day not just for the first day. I don’t think the welcome folder informed about the air-conditioning. As the controls were up high and not noticeable it looked like the room didn’t have it.
Breakfast was very good with a range of options on the beautiful setting of the rooftop. Location was great as it was right near the gate which was good for taxi pickups and the riad’s hammam was an added bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches like Christine making an effort to talk to us everyday and the welcome drink and biscuits.

United KingdomWe would thoroughly recommend Riad Ayadina. Christina is a proper host, on site everyday, making a point of speaking with all her guests, giving help and advice and making sure they have everything they need. Her team of staff are exceptional, extremely warm, friendly and welcoming whilst remaining professional and respectful of your space. The Riad is beautiful, with a relaxed, peaceful vibe and the food is excellent. Though it is at the north end of the medina, it is only a 15 min walk to the start io the main souks area and Christina has helpfully arranged for blue ‘A’ arrows to be placed clearly along the winding streets up to this point, then you’re on your own! We loved staying in this beautiful little Riad and will definitely be back.

United KingdomNothing- we were a group of 7 and all had a great time. I would add that you need a reasonable level of mobility to access rooms and terrace as there is no lift, and stairs lead to all the bedrooms. We were all fine, but I felt it should be mentioned.
The Riad is just beautiful. We were met by Christine who is the owner on arrival and we were led to the restaurant area while waiting for our rooms to be ready as we had arrived early. Mint tea and beautiful pastries were offered while we waited. We all stayed in Junior Suites. All are individual and so comfortable. The Riad is comfortable with lots of little areas to sit and relax in on the Terrace and inside. Breakfasts are lovely and plentiful with great service. Eating on the rooftop terrace at the start of the day is great. The pool is small but provides a great place to cool off after a morning exploring. The staff at all times are friendly, attentive and helpful. We ate in all but one evening and the menu is varied, well cooked and regional. Look out for the resident cat Rambo who will seek you out and is super friendly , and the little House Bunting birds who will make their presence known with their lovely chirping!

IrelandThe pillows weren't very comfortable. There was a bit of noise from people sitting around chatting in the inner courtyard at night. It was Ramadan so we were advised staff might not be around during sunset. This was fair enough but at other times it was hard to find staff to help with basic things like call a taxi. Also we had a lovely Hamamm but we weren't advised when booking that the therapists needed separate payment by cash, so we felt bad that we couldn't pay them on the day.
The riad was very nice and an effort was made by staff to make us welcome. There was a lovely fireplace and the dining tables were set around the courtyard which was nice. The rooftop was lovely too but the weather wasn;t good enough to get much use. The suite was big and felt luxurious. The bathroom and it's products were great. I liked the security of the door being locked and having to ring the bell. The riad was near a gate which we used for taxi pick up and drop offs however it is worth noting that it's at the quieter end of the medina so a bit of a walk back in the evenings. We always took a taxi back. The breakfast was nice and varied a little every day which was great. Dinner on our first night was very good but not so good on our last night (Wednesday).

SwitzerlandThe Riad Ayanida is an exceptionally beautiful place, very clean with extremely friendly staff. The owner herself is at the Riad everyday, engages with her guests and pays close attention to their individual needs and wishes. All in all we were very happy. With the Riad located at the border of the Medina it marks the perfect location. Easily reachable for Taxis but still a doorstep to the heart of the city. The food was delicious, we've decided to spend most of our dinners at the Riad as it was during Ramadan and most restaurants were closed and the streets rather empty. They serve a different three course menu every day. The breakfast is also phenomenal and different every day too. They even have an alcohol licence. We loved our stay here. The spa is operated by contractors and very convenient. Definitely worth a visit, we booked the 60min couples massage and were very satisfied. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Marrakech.
