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 reviewLiterally, one of the cleanest hostels you will visit in your life. Big thanks to the charwoman for all the good job. Perfect terrace with overlooking to the outside, wonderful interior design : so simple and makes you feel comfortable. All the facilities of this hostel was top, wonderful bathrooms, excellent wifi, clean blankets, wooden lounge chairs on the rooftoop, comfortable sofas too... All the rooms on the 1st floor (the floor above the ground floor) are bright, airy, and have a view to the outside. Excellent location, 15-minutes walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa Square and accessible by car (which is a rare feature among riads in the medina). The owner Claudia, the manager Abderrahim, and the cleaning ladies (Hajar and the other girl) were just amazing and polite, they made this hostel feel like home. I got sick in my last night, and they did everything they could to make me recover well. I thank them very much for everthing. Special thanks to Abderrahim for his hospitality, his time, and his efforts. Best Quality-Price of the city so far ! I highly recommand this hostel.
I'm very satisfied ! There's really nothing to complain about. Since all the rooms on the 1st floor are airy and have a view to the outside, there is some noise if the windows are completely open (which is not the riad's fault), but as soon as you close them, you hear nothing. As the windows must be closed at night, having an air conditioner in the mixed dorm rather than a ventilator would make the stay 100% perfect, but considering paying 78 Dirhams per night, we really can't ask for more, it's more than fair. I will definitely come back.

Verified reviewI stayed at this hostel in Marrakech and had a wonderful experience. The riad is very well located, close to everything you might need. It’s super clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff are extremely kind and always ready to help, especially the manager who is very helpful and friendly. They also prepare amazing Moroccan tea which makes the stay even more special. I definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Marrakech

Verified reviewThe only nice thing about this hostel is the guy on reception who was very nice and helpful. Thank you for that. You can print your boarding pass.
We booked a double room - there’s no AC, but there is hot as hell. toilet is too small - you cant even close the door so you have to use a toilet with the doors open. There is no window - only window is to the kitchen where are another people. There is no storage - all our things must stay packet in our baggage - not even one shelf - nothing. Pillows were dirty so we had to use a towel. Room was dirty and the neighborhood is dirty as well. Maybe that hostel is ok when you get another room, but our room was the worst thing I have ever expirienced, even if I travel a lot. Don’t book it.

Verified reviewThe staff members were so helpful and supportive, the breakfast was really good and the roof top has an incredible view! They storage my luggage during my trip to the desert! You can arrive by car (what is not easy inside the Medina), but you should show to the driver because they would like to drop off you on the main square and you’ll walk at least 15 minutes in the middle of the market, full of people between narrow streets, with your entire baggage!
The AC was not working and when you share a room in a place with more than 30 degrees during the night is not a good idea!
