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.).

Quiet oasis in the middle of the medina's chaotic alleys. Location is perfect for exploring the medina and still completely quiet at night. Super helpful and friendly host, Youssef even let me stay in a free room after i checked out so i could spend the hottest part of the day in a room with AC.

CanadaBooked into Riad Bensaid for a couple nights. The Riad was close to the main square and easy to find. Youssef was absolutely amazing and took great care to make sure all was well with my stay . The Riad was beautiful with lots of hot water and A/C although not needed at this time. Breakfast was nice consisting of eggs, Moroccan pancakes bread cheese, jam, olives fresh orange juice and coffee. Beautiful roof top to enjoy the sun or tuck away in the covered seating. It’s a great place to stay and I’m sure you will be happy with your choice.

United KingdomRiad Bensaid is a charming and authentic retreat in the heart of Marrakech's vibrant Medina. Just steps away from Jamaa El Fna, it offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. The beautifully renovated riad retains its rustic charm while providing excellent service and amenities. A true gem for anyone seeking a peaceful yet culturally rich experience in Marrakech

United KingdomReally enjoyed our stay at the Riad Bensaid! It’s located minutes away from the square and in walking distance to all the main attractions of Marrakesh, whilst tucked away on a quieter road. The courtyard is beautiful, breakfast was nice. The main highlight was the hotel manager / host Youssef who was very friendly, helpful and super lovely overall! If I had to fault anything - our room at the ground floor was a bit humid, but that was the only drawback, and even that wasn’t as bad.

TurkeyWe went to Marrakech as a group of 8 to celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I think we stayed at the best hotel in the city, Riad Bensaid. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Youssef, in particular, was incredibly supportive in every way. We would like to thank him on behalf of the whole group. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was quite satisfying. The location was very central, and everywhere was within walking distance.

The location is superb, you can step from the beautiful chaos of the busy market streets in the Medina, into a quiet relaxing space and enjoy a rest. The decorations are tasteful and evoke traditional moroccan culture Yusuf, our host was resourceful, attentive and friendly. His calm and reassuring attitude made our stay feel stress free and comfortable. I am going to recommend any friend who’d like to visit Marrakech stay at his riad!

Czech RepublicThe riad is situated in the middle of Medina, old city with very tiny streets. Don't rent the car, it is impossible to park it nearby. Use taxi, it is cheaper
The original and traditional guest house of Morocco - Riad was very cozy and clean, with very traditional architecture and furniture. The best way to fill the exceptional welcoming environment of Morocco. The personal was very kind and helpful. If you want to go to any excursion, ask the personnel in the hotel. You will get the outstanding high quality service with the prices cheaper than outside. Actually we have canceled all our excursions reserved before the trip and used the hotel services as they were 30% cheaper.
