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 reviewGood location and quiet at night. Nice staff and easy to find.
The shower head needed fixing, and they didn't clean the room for the 3 nights I stayed. I guess I should have asked as I think this is normal in Morroco.

Verified reviewIt was a nice building.
We had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Several things left us feeling misled and exploited. 1. Airport Shuttle – Overpriced: The hotel arranged a shuttle from the airport which cost €15 per person for a 15-minute drive. We were told this was the same as a taxi fare, but locals later confirmed we could have easily haggled a taxi for much less, even with separate arrivals. 2. Laundry Costs – Absurd: They charged €15 for just 5kg of laundry – the most expensive rate we’ve encountered anywhere in the world. No price list was provided in advance. 3. Sahara Tour – Avoid It: We booked a Sahara tour through the hotel and it was a major letdown. The hotel during the tour had no air conditioning, despite being told it would. No lunches included, but they only take you to expensive, remote restaurants where you have no other options. On the way, you are pressured to buy a scarf for €15, supposedly essential for the desert, but the material is barely worth €3. The camel ride was brutal in 40°C heat – and if you decline it, your only option is a €15 jeep ride. On top of that, no drinks are included at any meal stops. Even water in the Sahara costs €2 per bottle – and no one will give you any, even if you're showing signs of heat exhaustion. Overall, we left feeling ripped off and frustrated. The hotel seems more focused on extracting as much money as possible than on providing real hospitality. I would not recommend staying here or booking any services through them.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay at this Riad. The location is excellent. It is quiet while very close to the center and Jemaa el-Fnaa and square market. The person at the reception is very helpful. He came to pick me from the square place as it would be difficult to find the hotel without help. Much appreciated. I was welcome with a cup of Tea. The room was big enough and clean, with AC, hot water etc. Excellent experience.
Everything was great. Perhaps I could just mention that there are tiny stairs, not easy to use if you have heavy luggage. This is not an issue as you can leave your luggage near the reception.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms are very clean, and when I asked to change my room because the previous one felt a bit stuffy, the staff responded immediately and helped me without any delay. The staff is very friendly and always tries to give clear and helpful answers to any questions. The riad is quiet and peaceful, which makes it perfect for a good night’s sleep.

Verified reviewAwesome experience all around while traveling abroad.
Just make sure you put the name of the Riad in google maps and not the address. The address takes you to a different location. Make sure you get plenty of cash at the airport as they take a city tax only in cash!
