Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GreeceThe street that leads to the Riad may look a bit scary the first time, but you easily get you used to it the next day, no need to worry.
As soon as you enter Riad Chams you are transported to a unique, relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Khalid, Youssef, Ali and Khaima (the beautiful cat), with their kindness and awesome hospitality make you feel completely at home. The riad is very clean and tidy, with a cozy feel and Moroccan character. The hammam bath was also an experience to remember. Thank you for making our stay in Marrakech so enjoyable and memorable!

PortugalLeaving to go back home :(
The Riad is located in the Old Medina, making it that all the main attractions in Marrakech are walking distance. They arranged our shuttle from the airport (for 15€) which served us perfectly! As soon as the shuttle drop us off at the square near the Riad, Youssef (one of the AMAZING staff) was there to take us from the square to the Riad. Now, what really made our trip special were the Staff of this Riad. Youssef and Khalid are the most welcoming and lovely hosts one can ask for!! I can’t stress this enough, as they really made our trip special. Everyone in the Riad is always available to help in any circumstances. We can only recommend this Riad to everyone who is visiting Marrakech, you won’t regret it :) P.s.: you’ll also be presented with the cuttest cat :)

EgyptHad a wonderful stay at Riad Chams Marrakech! The room was comfortable and clean, the rooftop terrace was beautiful, breakfast was great, and the place was all in all very tranquil! Khalid, Ali, Youssef, the ladies, and of course Khaima (the cat), were all so great and welcoming and made me feel safe and taken care of! They were extremely attentive and always ready to answer any questions I had! I had a room on the ground floor on the courtyard and wasn’t really bothered by any noise.

SloveniaFriendly staff that also gives you good advice for sightseeing of Marrakesh. Interior is clean and beautiful. They also have a very friendly cat that is part of the staff and is the star of the show. Breakfast is great, and staff is happy to accommodate even the picky eaters like us. Location is well placed, so we didn't need taxi or public transport while staying her, as everything is reachable by foot.

BelgiumThe road itself is located on the outside of the medina, in a rather calm neighbourhood. To reach it you have to go through a slightly sketchy alley, but in the end it’s all safe luminated!
The riad was beautiful and clean, friendly and very helpful staff. Youssef even guided us to the airport taxi in the middle of the night.

Great location and easy to get to the main center. The guys were really warm and helpful and made our stay memorable. Truly the hospitality you would expect from the people of Morocco. From waking up early to get us breakfast to arranging activities and even dropping us off to the taxi stand. Can’t ask more

IcelandThe dimly lit and low-ceiling alleyway leading to the riad is a negative. However, it felt safe all the time. There was a rooster living on the top floor of the next house - quite noisy in the early mornings.
The location and the friendly attitude of the staff are the main attractions of the Riad Chams. In other respects it seems like a typical riad in Marrakech.
