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 reviewVery dissapointing customer service. The lady on reception was rude and argumentative. Check in is 12 o clock according to booking.com but the room was not ready so instead of apologies she told us ‘do you want clean room or do you want it dirty? ‘ also she took extremely serious the ‘police form’ and literally made 4-5 corrections on my form , but again in a complete bossy style🤨. it took more than one hour for the room to be ready. The place feels dirty anyway, breakfast is very basic, i would definitely NOT reccomend this one. We stayed in another one 300 m away-same price- lot better.
I didnt liked the place and some staff.

Verified reviewGreat Riad, we were met by Rana who shown us through the maze of streets which was a great touch. She took time to go through where all the attractions were and what was available at the Riad. The room was spacious, with a great shower, TV and AC all working. There is a small pool for sitting in too cool off. Breakfast was served what time we wanted and was a traditional Moroccan meal which was lovely. We also booked a trip via Rana which was good value for money and very enjoyable.

Verified reviewGreat location, we booked a transfer and was met by Rana who was very welcoming and explained various areas etc to see. The room was comfortable, with good AC and big enough for the 4 of us. It has a great indoor plunge pool which we used to cool off in. Also breakfast was lovely. The Road is not so hard to find once you get your bearings, only a few minutes walk from the souks.

Verified reviewVery comfortable room with modern amenities and plenty of space.
The lighting in the bathroom was really poor and the shower was one of those old school static ones where the shower head doesn't come off or move up and down to adjust to one's height.

Verified reviewStaff very friendly, good service, help with airport lifts and places to visit. Location is nice and quiet compared to the rest of the area. Room was specious and clean (plus bed was comfortable) the sun terrace is lovely and the small pool great to refresh yourself when it is hot. Very nice breakfast. Excellent deal for the price I paid.

Verified reviewReally trying hard to think of a positive but there isn't one.
Asked for twin room, received double room. The ceiling light was flickering and broken. One of the wall lamps was flickering and broken. Breakfast was served well before agreed time so it was cold when indulged. The property tries to charge travellers a "commission" above and beyond the price agreed on booking.com, this charge is around 10%. Which is ludicrous as booking.com states all taxes, charges and fees are included. We were told to pay or to find another hotel.

Verified reviewthe Riad is very beautiful inside
from the start the staff was very unfriendly, made us feel uncomfortable and not welcome. it wasn‘t possible to pay by card we weren’t allowed to bring water to our room for hygiene reasons but would have to buy them at the reception (for 4times the normal price) there are security cameras all over the property surveilling the guest …. the riad is quiet far away from the main square especially at night when the souk gates are closed i had flee bites all over my body after the stay

Verified reviewIt was a nice location, in the medina but quiet so you could escape the madness of Marrakesh. The rooms were spacious and air conditioning worked a treat. It had a nice rooftop terrace to catch some sun. The staff were nice and helpful.
No signs to say the hotel was down a the end of an alley, but once you know its there it is fine. The breakfasts were nice but it was the same everyday. We booked a taxi to the mountains through the hotel and they added a lot on top, £25 extra. It would be worth avoiding doing this with them.

Verified reviewLocation was great, not too far from a parking place but easy to walk to the major sights and the souks. Rooms were quite nice. Breakfast was great.
The “pool” was a birdbath/fountain that was ice cold. Not for swimming at all as advertised. I was charged more than the confirmed booking price on the site. The staff was not overly friendly- just ok.

Verified reviewThe riad was clean and rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. Nice breakfast.
The reception staff were rude and not considerate or helpful. I was constantly stressed asking about anything and didn't feel comfortable doing so. The riad offered hammams and excursions but was a nightmare trying to arrange anything and nothing was what it said it was. Never tried the spa for the very same reason. Would imagine other places are better value for money.
