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 reviewThe riad was beautiful and clean, it has a great location. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, we felt really welcomed during our stay.
A fridge would be a nice addition to the room but otherwise we cannot mention anything.

Verified reviewThe doors didn’t close properly . You couldn’t feel safe closing the door and leaving your staff in the room . The breakfast was disappointing and wasn’t nearly enough . Just one piece of cake , one croissant and one pancake for each person .

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay here. We had booked the suite, and it was more than worth it! The room was spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and roomy as well. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day, and each morning we were served a tasty breakfast. Some more variety in the breakfast would be a nice improvement. The staff was very kind and always tried to have a little chat with us, even if their English was not perfect. The night staff did speak good English and was also very friendly. We would like to thank all of them for everything. Also for preparing a takeaway breakfast when we had a day trip to Essaouira! 😊
Honestly, we liked everything. If we had to mention something small, it would be the slightly wobbly toilet and the fact that there was no toilet paper holder.

Verified reviewAn absolute gem, every detail was truly stunning. Great value for money, central location, right next to the souks. The mint tea we received upon arrival was devine.
The only thing we didn't like was that breakfast only included one glass of fresh orange juice, could've drank a liter.

Verified reviewRight in the heart of the Medina but was still very quiet at night. Close to all shops and restaurants.
Rooms weren’t very clean and AC didn’t work as there were gaps in the doors that let air in.

Verified reviewA riad in the heart of Marrakech, a fantastic location just a short walk from the Jemaa el-Fna square. The riad is a peaceful oasis in the middle of the medina—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the souks and the city’s wonders. The welcome was warm, and the atmosphere truly authentic. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewI definitely recommend this riad. The hosts are very friendly and hospitable, they helped us with arranging transportation from the airport to the riad and vice versa which made everything much easier. The riad is centrally located near the Jemaa el-Fnaa square but still on a quiet street. The terrace of the riad is very nice and it is very pleasant to spend time outside on the terrace. The architecture of the riad and it is decorated tastefully.

Verified reviewBeautiful riad in a perfect location next to the Souk and the old Medina. Such a lovely property steeped in antiquity and beautifully decorated in authentic Moroccan furnishings, art and crafts. Kind and very helpful hosts.
