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...).

United StatesI always feel like directions to riads in medinas could be more clear--some turn-by-turn directions with photos could help! Shampoo in addition to body soap would be greatly appreciated.
LOVED my visit so much. I came to Meknes to visit my son who was studying Arabic and Darija at AALIM. Given my son's schedule, mine was all over the place and the team at El Ma was always there for me. I chose a lovely, large suite on the ground floor. Very comfortable. The care from the staff was so on point that I was surprised to learn that they were managers, not owners. IMHO, that's a testament to how much management cares about their guests. Breakfasts were generous and delish. Always m'semen. yum. And delicious fresh fruit. The terrace up top is gorgeous and the pool, while small was so refreshing on 107 degree days! The team connected me with a fantastic taxi driver who took me to Volubilis and on another tour through parts of the Atlas on another day. And the neighborhood was lovely--the businesses make embroidery thread from agave. Easy access from two babs and close to a great spot to catch a taxi to new town. Please, if you visit, feed the kitties. :)

United StatesThere was a miscommunication about settling the bill. I booked the stay on line and thought I could use a credit card but they required cash only. Something to be aware of.
Very sweet and helpful staff. The dinner they served was delicious. The rooftop pool was so refreshing and the garden on the rooftop was lovely. The decor and the Riad was gorgeous.

GermanyOne small thing to note: the early morning call to prayer around 4 AM was quite loud and did wake us up, but this is part of the local atmosphere and wasn’t a big issue for us.
This riad is nicely decorated with lots of attention to details. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the hospitality was exceptional—warm, welcoming, very helpful and attentive to all our needs and questions. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Everything was perfect - from the welcome messages from Francis with directions/suggestions and very quick answer to any of our messages, to the warm and welcoming attitude from all the staff on our arrival. They were very kind, very nice, always smiling, gave us some restaurant recommendations and took the time to speak with us, listening to our Moroccan experiences. Will definitely recommend 100%!!!!

CanadaThe building is absolutely stunning on the inside with incredible architecture. The pool and common areas are wonderful to spend time in and the rooftop offers a great view of the city. Unfortunately as it's located right beside the Grand Mosque you will be awakened in the middle of the night by the loud speakers right outside your window. Rooms are a bit smallish and quite dark which is good for sleeping in the in the morning. The Staff are lovely and helpful and did our laundry at no charge which was really going above and beyond. Would highly recommend.

BelgiumThe owner asked to pay in cash, either euro or dirhams. The price in euro is 75€ for the room booked, so in dirhams it would have been 750.. But she told me to give her 800 dirhams because they have decided that this would be their device conversion! This was really weird and I tried to tell her that this was not the proper conversion (everybody in Maroc uses x10) but she kept insisting.. The weirdest is that out friends paid the correct price (500 dirhams for 50€ bedroom). I find not nice to pay 6,6% more than the official price!
very beautiful and centered riad.

SpainThe bedsheets were worn, with fabric pilling, which made them uncomfortable.
Exceptional location in the heart of the Medina of Meknès. This beautiful Riad is just steps away from all the main attractions. The facilities are superbly designed with meticulous attention to detail. The staff is courteous and attentive, always ready to assist. The breakfast is truly outstanding.
