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 reviewA traditional, well-kept Riad at the Medina. Rooms and building was good, breakfast was very good. Location is good, 10 minutes walk from Jemaa-el-Fnaa. Entrance is from a remote souk, sometimes in the night could feel awkward. Rooms very nicely decorated. The host, Roberto, was very friendly and willing to help.

Verified reviewService is impeccable and the team is extremely thoughtful and helpful. The location is amazing, a minute walk to Bahia palace and right next to the souks. The front entrance has a bright light and surveillance cameras installed, so we felt safe coming back at night.

Verified reviewMy partner and I just spent 5 nights at the superb Riad Azahar. Hats off to owner Roberto and his superb staff for giving us a truly memorable stay in Marrakesh. I don´t know where to start with the 5 star awards ceremony but I´ll try ... the owner Roberto is a gem of a host. You want to know anything about anything in Marrakech? ... ask Roberto. His staff are first rate ... Simu (sorry if I misspelt that) Ismail ... are a credit to the Riad, both extremely courteous and helpful. The cleaning staff were conscientious and at all times polite. And as for the Riad´s best kept secret of producing for us an evening meal (on request ... not advertised) we give a five star also to master chef-ess Wifu. The Riad itself is the height of charm. Clean, traditional, quiet ... just exquisite. A great location ... just off and away the bustle of the spice market. We´d go back to Riad Azahar in a heartbeat. We felt like part of the family. Just go and book!!
There was nothing that I didn´t like. All good!

Verified reviewThis Riad is superb. The location is very good in the Mellah sector of the medina. We stayed for 2 nights as a family of 4 (two teenage girls) in the Easter school holidays. Our room was absolutely spotlessly clean, as was the rest of the riad. The rooftop terrace was especially lovely, with amazing views over the city and of the sunset, and the plunge pool excellent. The staff were were helpful and attentive. We enjoyed just sitting enjoying mint tea and relaxing. The room was lovely and cool and there is air conditioning if needed.
Nothing - it was excellent.

Verified reviewBreakfast: loved the homemade yogurt & OJ Host/Owner: outstanding! Hospitable & genuine! Staff: All friendly & offer to help if you need anything. Water pressure was good too! Highly recommend this place!
It would have been better if the Garbage was collected once over the 3 nights we were there & maybe a refresh of hand towels.

Verified reviewThis Riad is a quiet haven in the middle of busy Marrakech. The staff are amazing, and recommended some lovely restaurants for us to try.
The area around the Riad is a little run down.

Verified reviewThe riad is very beautiful with well preserved traditional rooms. They also offer breakfast which was ok but only with sweet stuff.
A downside is that it is very noisy. We had the room next to reception on the ground floor and we could hear both the people on the inside of the riad and the ones that were gathered outside talking and all the motocycles. Another minus is the location which is in an area that looks pretty shady. Across the street from the riad there are the ruins of a house which was demolished. Moreover the room has no key look. We didn’t feel unsafe leaving stuff inside but regardless I would have prefered to have it.

Verified reviewLocation is excellent. 5 minutes walk from Bahia Palace. Quiet area (Melach). We could walk to most attractions inside the medina in less than 30 minutes. Staff was welcoming, warm, respectful, and attentive. Room was very clean and well updated with nice amenities. Comfortable beds, very nicely designed and decorated. The breakfast was delicious. We felt so welcome and taken care of.

Verified reviewIt was a very tranquil setting with moroccan architecture and tasteful decorations within the riad itself. The team first welcomed us with Moroccan tea, we were given a tour of the riad and a map of Medina was explained to us. The room itself was lovely with high ceilings and opened to the indoor courtyard. The breakfast served was different everyday and served at a time convenient to you. The hammam and spa was rejuvenating! Dinner must be tried here as it was better than what we had in many restaurants we visited. Everything was simply catered with the visitor in mind. Great thank you to the team who took care of us during our week of stay.

Verified reviewRiad Azahar is absolutely gorgeous! Beautifully decorated and in a good location for exploring the Medina. What makes it really special, though, is the staff. We received such a warm welcome from Ismail we knew instantly that we’d made the right choice of where to stay. Roberto, the owner, also greeted us warmly, and was a genial and thoughtful host. Simo looked after us so well at breakfast and when we returned in the evening that we truly felt at home. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so kind and generous with their time and knowledge.
Nothing!
