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 reviewit gave a real feeling of staying in a Moroccan riad. Also, the room was pretty and nicely designed.
The receptionist was a little hostile and pressured us a little to book activities with him even though I explained to him that I already had activities planned.

Verified reviewAmazing value for money. They had no problem with us leaving our beds there for 1 or 2 hours after checkout.
There are tables by reception. We thought that we were to have breakfast due to plates being on the tables. We weren't told we can have breakfast on the roof top as well. The 1 minute walk from the street does not feel safe at night but no problem during the day.

Verified reviewNice room, good air conditioning. The staff are very nice and helpful.
The staff were cleaning the floor very loud outside our bedroom in the morning which woke us up. At breakfast, the dining room was full of wasps and it meant our breakfast was very stressful. We had to be moved to a separate area just to avoid them and enjoy the breakfast in peace. The mosque also nearby woke us up as 5am but this seems to happen throughout Marrakesh.

Verified reviewThe Riad is very well located, just a 5 minutes walk to the Souk. The amenities are great, very clean and the room had a nice shower and air conditioner. There is also a small lounge where you can chill. The breakfast is super good and the receptionists and servers were amazing super friendly and polite.

Verified reviewIt was very clean, safe and welcoming. The two men at reception were so helpful, informative and friendly. The two women masseuse were excellent also - I would definitely recommend booking treatments at the spa. Jamal helped us book the day trip to Agafay which was very efficient.
Nothing.

Verified reviewStayed twice - 10 days apart. Was a fantastic facility with comfortable well equiped rooms including modern air conditioning. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. Close to the main market in the Medina - easy walking distance. Great food for breakfast and dinner (which can be purchased). A very nice roof area to enjoy some sheltered outdoor space as well. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Marrakech
Nothing - it was the perfect escape from a busy outside world!

Verified reviewPerfect location and make easily walk to the principle square . Very nice rooftops where you can do breakfast and in general good building.
There was a terrible smell in the rooms. Before our arrival the staff told us the private bus from the airport to the riad was 35€, but, at the time of the payment we have told the price was the double due to city taxes without been noticed.
