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 reviewNoureddine, Saida & Adam were all great. Very friendly, accommodating, and professional. We really appreciated their hospitality and wished we could've stayed longer.
The location was just a little further walk from the main square than expected. But it's totally doable.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay at The Riad Dar Masai. A friend who had previously been a guest here recommended it and it did not disappoint! A beautiful, airy and spacious guesthouse with a cosy, clean and peaceful room. The staff were so welcoming. Our host, Noureddine was wonderful! So friendly and informative, going out of his way to be helpful and cheery. The chefs were amazing - breakfast was delicious and we opted for the three course rooftop meal on one night and it was fantastic. Great value for money and in a lively, rustic and central location. We will definitely be back!

Verified reviewVery friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds, great design and architecture. Easy walking distance to some main attractions. I was offered early breakfast due to needing to leave early for a tour.
Not very soundproof, and there is a mosque very close by, so expect an early wake up call. Google maps will tell you to walk down an incorrect alleyway to find it, but if you are walking from Bab Agnaou/Saadian Tombs, you will start to see correct signage when you are close and find it easily.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the comfort, design, and our team’s hospitality, and that the early breakfast was helpful for your tour. We appreciate your note about the sound and directions, the call to prayer is part of the local charm but can be surprising for light sleepers. Thank you also for the helpful tip about finding the riad, we hope to welcome you back soon!

Verified reviewA wonderful calm oasis tucked away in the midst of high energy Marrakech. The hotel is furnished beautifully with plenty of original Moroccan details and each room themed by colour - we had the blue room. The en-suite was roomy with stunning tiles, the bed was comfy and wide and the service was excellent; we had a delicious dinner of vegetarian tagine, and breakfast (the latter included in the price) which was a typical Moroccan start to the day served on a sunny rooftop terrace. We heartily recommend this hotel to travellers but book early as the rooms are limited to only five.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the peaceful oasis of our riad amidst the vibrant energy of Marrakech. It’s great to hear you loved the décor, the spacious bathroom, and the comfortable bed. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the vegetarian tagine and the traditional Moroccan breakfast on the sunny rooftop terrace. Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back! 😊

Nordin helped us throughout the stay, and he got good knowledge about the location. Food was prepared fresh and served hot. We totally recommend this place.

Verified reviewReally well presented and comfortable communal space and room. Breakfasts were nice. Staff were all really pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Well sheltered from the heat. Overall I had a really great stay, would definitely go back.
Was offered water/juice without being told I'd later be charged for them. Not a big issue but would be nice to have known that up front.
