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 reviewThe lovely ladies were very friendly and helpful! And they made us a nice and fresh breakfast every morning. Besides that, the riad was very beautiful and pleasant to stay at. With a good location close to everything
The rooms weren't the newest, but that didn't bother us and made it feel authentic

The bathroom is outside the room, but you have the whole floor to yourself, so it wasn't really an inconvenience.

Verified reviewVery good value for money. Nice and traditional riad and amazing staff. Good room with a big and comfortable bed, A/C and very well located. The host was extremely kind, she offered free tea and biscuits for the entire stay and she even kept our luggage for few days. I really recommend this as it s a very good value for money and you are in the middle of everything (shops, square for taxis and markets)
The A/C was working well but it was quite noisy.

Verified reviewOMayma was an amazing host. She was very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. When we wanted it early, there was no problem. She did our laundry without any charge. We had a large, nice room. The shower had good pressure and hot water. It was nice to be a little away from the hustle and bustle of the main square. When going upstairs, we found the inconsistency in step height to be charming and fun, but it could be a problem for others.

Verified reviewThe riad is in an amazing location! The ladies were incredible! They came to get us at the entrance to the medina. There was tea and biscuits waiting for us. They also helped us find a traditional Hamman, walked us there, and got us settled.

Verified reviewBreakfast was great! We stayed here for 10 days. Every day there was some small variations, mostly including freshly baked bread, pancakes, yoghurt, jam, tea, coffee and warm milk. The sweetest women run the riad. Cummincation was easy, they make breakfast between 08:00 and 10:00, but if you need it at another time, they're very accommodating. The location is right at the edge of the medina, close to everything. We did everything by foot.

Verified reviewIt was a quiet Riad in the medina which was walkable to many of the key sites in Marrakech. The ladies who were running it (Fatima & Umaima) were friendly and helpful. We were given a complimentary welcome pot of mint tea and cookies. It was reasonable value for money. We felt safe there. The WiFi worked. The breakfast was good.
The taxi organised by the Riad was 15 Euros (significantly over the price of a normal taxi). It's quite difficult to find if it's your first time there, so booking the taxi through the Riad and having Fatima walk us to it from the road the taxi dropped us off at was essential. The rooms are in need of fixing & refurbishment (lamps broken, rails broken, bathroom very basic with either freezing or scalding water, broken tiles, etc). There is a smell of damp in the rooms. The pictures on the booking.com site may be older as it definitely feels like it needs updating. They asked for us to pay the taxi fare, tourist tax and breakfast cost in Euros rather than Moroccan dirhams (which we only had a limited amount of). I've put that it didn't meet my expectations as based on the reviews, my expectations were a bit higher.

Verified reviewDar Mchicha is a lovely simple riad tucked away in a quiet location on the edge of the medina. It is not luxurious but has character and everything we wanted for a short stay. The two ladies who run the riad are exceptionally kind and helpful and provide wonderful breakfasts. They also arranged taxi transfers for us to and from the airport.
Just be aware that some rooms are accessed via quite narrow and steep stairs, but that was fine for us.

Verified reviewRiad Dar Mchicha is just a perfect place! Perfect location, tasty breakfasts, comfortable beds and helpful owners! I am sure I will stay there again when I come back to Marrakesh and also will recommend it to my friends! Really good experience ☺️ We had a trip booked early morning and asked for earlier breakfast and they had no problem with preparing that for us, such a welcoming place!
Nothing!

Verified reviewThis is a nice classic riad type of hostel. Like in most places in Morocco your room will not have any windows. Otherwise most basic comforts like hot water are there. My room also had an heater that was very good in the winter time. They also have a tiny balcony upstairs. For 2 euros you get totally fine breakfast.
This place can be hard to find, but trust Google Maps, it is there :)
