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 reviewExcellent authentic Riad a short walk from the road. Fabulous staff. A special mention must go to Soumia who was absolutely delightful and made our stay and Ouafaa who was the brilliant chef. The food was delicious and very generous. The pool was a welcome place to cool down.
N/a other than beds firmer than we prefer.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had an excellent stay and enjoyed our team, especially Soumia and Ouafaa. We appreciate your input regarding the bed comfort. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Verified reviewWe loved the room and little outside space connected to our room. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. The room was very clean and very pretty.
We booked the room and this particular Riad to be able to use the pool, even though it was small. We arrived and were informed the pool was broken. It was a little bit disappointing.
Hello. The swimming pool is finally repaired. We got a leaking and we had to empty it for security reason. Thanks for all the great comments

Only thing is that the room windows all open into the main court yard reception and can be a bit noisy!

Verified reviewA magical little hug in the chaos of Marrakech! If you want a place that feels like home—but better smelling, better looking, and with way better breakfast—Riad El Youssoufi is it. Spotless rooms, tasteful interiors, a lush little pool to cool off, and a rooftop terrace that feels like your private slice of heaven. Every little wish I had was granted like magic (on request, I even got a local SIM card handed to me and installed before I finished my welcome tea!). The team is warm, welcoming, speaks perfect English and French—and always has a smile ready.
Zero drama. Not even a towel folded weird. What am I supposed to write here?

Verified reviewThe best part of this stay was the attitude of the staff - all were genuinely friendly unlike another place we stayed in, where the decor was much more plush but yet, ruined by ungenuine service. We also liked the fact that there was a lovely heater in the bathroom - that made a lot of difference when it's freezing cold. We also liked the fact that the water pressure in the shower was working just fine & the water drained away efficiently down the pipes. These are the things that are usually not mentioned but makes a world of difference to the comfort level of the stay. The homely riad is also conveniently located near the market area and yet quiet. Clean and comfy bed.
Breakfast could have been better.
Dear guest thanks for the nice review. We are also very happy you appreciated our staff that is a family for us. We really cannot believe we have some gap in the breakfast. Usually is the most appreciated thing beside our guests. We obviously keep in consideration your comment and thank you for the time you took to made your review

It is great for a Moroccan experience and the breakfast offers very god traditional food. There is no noise at night and the Riad offers a terrace and pool. The hotel also offers the possibility of organising guided tours of Marrakesh.
