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, Hussain went above and beyond to cater to us at our stay. He was very helpful with local suggestions and set us up with local guide on our first night. He would check in with us to see if we needed anything and he was fun to talk to and get to know and entertained us with music. Breakfast was fantastic! We were served a variety of foods and very large portions. We enjoyed the breakfast on both the downstairs patio and the upstairs terrace. Hussain also arranged a private dinner for just our party the first night which was nice since were tired from the travel day and the food was delicious. The rooms are very nice and the bed had a nice firm mattress and firm pillows. The downstairs bedroom had a smaller bed and a low ceiling in the bathroom but worked fine for our one shorter guest. The AC in each bedroom worked well which was nice when it's very hot outside. Thank you for this wonderful stay, a trip we will not forget!
The only downside to this property was the Wifi was very poor.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that Hussain was able to make your experience special. He truly loves taking care of our guests, and he’ll be very happy to hear your kind words. It’s great to know you appreciated the breakfast, the private dinner, the comfort of the rooms, and the cool air-conditioning during the hot days. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the Wi-Fi — we’re already looking into ways to improve it. We’re so glad this trip left you with great memories, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Marrakech!

Verified reviewOur stay at Riad Babmoon was simply wonderful. The structure is welcoming, well-kept and immersed in the magic of Marrakech, but the real added value was Elhoussain, an empathetic, kind, helpful person who is always attentive to every detail. Every morning with Nezha, he pampered us with delicious and varied breakfasts, prepared with care and a genuine smile. The magic of his voice accompanied us in a delicious dinner prepared by them. He supported us with precious advice, helping us to experience the city in an authentic and serene way. Thank you Hussein for your discreet but fundamental presence: you made our experience special.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt review! We’re truly touched by your kind words. It means a lot to us that you felt the warmth and care we strive to offer at Riad Babmoon. Elhoussain and Nezha will be especially happy to know that their attention to detail, delicious breakfasts, and warm hospitality made your stay so special. We’re also glad you enjoyed the dinner and the magical atmosphere that Marrakech has to offer. Your appreciation of Hussein’s presence and support is deeply meaningful — he always gives his best to ensure our guests feel at home. We sincerely hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable experience.

Verified reviewBreakfasts were good with lots of local breads and pastries and eggs. Freshly pressed orange juice, water, tea coffee etc. They shopped for fresh items each day and cooked an excellent meal for us on the first evening. They introduced us to an excellent off-line mapping app which was far better than google etc. for navigating by foot in the medina and souks. They also gave very useful sightseeing and restaurant recommendations and highlighted the locations within the app. We had a late flight home and they were happy for us to stay much later than the check out time. The pool, although a little small for serious swimming was clean, refreshing and cool in the heat of the day.
Nothing to put in this section!

Verified reviewRiad Babmoon is an enchanting blend of traditional Moroccan charm and modern comforts. Very close to the vibrant medina, but with a serene atmosphere providing a perfect escape from the bustling streets. The décor is stunning, with intricate tilework, cosy courtyards, and elegantly furnished rooms reflecting authentic Moroccan craftsmanship. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming, providing attentive service and Houssine provided us with helpful local tips. We enjoyed a delicious traditional breakfast downstairs but we could also have had it on the rooftop terrace. Riad Babmoon was Ideal for us and anyone seeking an authentic and relaxing Marrakesh experience, would not be disappointed!

Verified reviewBeautiful property and excellent location within the medina. Great terrace with plenty of seating areas both in the sun and covered. All the rooms had their own bathrooms with toiletries provided. Our host Houssine was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He helped us to organise a number of trips. Housekeeper was good and welcoming.
Breakfast variety could be improved to include yoghurt and eggs, to balance out the sugary options.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the riad’s location, the beautiful terrace, and the comfort of your rooms. It’s great to know that Houssine’s help and local knowledge made your stay even more enjoyable — and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with him and our housekeeper. Regarding breakfast, thank you for your suggestion. We would just like to mention that our cook and Houssine did their best to accommodate your preferences and even prepared the items you requested. We always try to be attentive to our guests’ needs. Our breakfast is traditionally Moroccan, with homemade pastries and local specialties, but we are continuously improving it based on guest feedback. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again for another authentic experience in Marrakech!

Verified reviewIt was very beautiful; all 5 rooms were wonderful; large beds even though some of the mattresses were rock hard. The roof terrace was amazing and the finishes and design super! Rita was amazing! Kind, positive and cheerful; happy to engage and really looked after us! Hussaine,forgive the spelling, was a joy! Picking us up, helping us with choices, advice ; always on hand. One night he came and played the guitar, sang Arab folk songs and stories to go with it; very special to us! Regards, Marianne
So cold! In the bedrooms fine but breakfast around the table when it’s just 6 degrees is a bit of a trial; we took to closing the roof awning to try and preserve a bit of heat and ate with our coats on; needless to say we couldn’t use the pool; a thick curtain for the loungie nook and some sort of heating down stairs would be great and heat the pool during the winter. Also, where the bathroom is small, do create some kind of screen; easily achieved but it would prevent the rest of the bathroom getting soaked including guest’s belongings. Regards, Marianne

Verified reviewIt's a really beautiful private Riad off the main streets in the centre of the Medina, so very central and close to everything but still quiet. Houssine is your insider to Marrakech, and gave us a very warm welcome and was always available and responsive via WhatsApp for tips. We were only two people so had 5 bedrooms & bathrooms to ourselves. It was December so a bit too cold to use the pool, but it looked inviting. The terrace is huge and the roof of the Riad opens up so I imagine it would be great when it's warmer. Ghita the cook and cleaner is available to come to the Riad every morning to make breakfast and tidy and is very friendly. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.
