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 reviewRiad is in a very good location of Medina. It is close to everywhere by walking distance. Also all stuff was very friendly and helpful. Especially Ismael was very helpful from the beginning.

Verified reviewExcellent communication with the host who always replied promptly to all our questions prior to arriving and was always respectful. We were offered a private transport service, which was extremely convenient, and a home made dinner on the first night. Upon arrival at the riad, we were welcomed by Mohamed who very kindly checked us in, showed us around the riad and gave us a map of Marrakech. Mohamed also served us breakfast every morning and always went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. Samira, was also extremely kind and always greeted us with a warm smile. The tagine and tangia cooked by her on the first day were by far the best dishes we had during our entire stay in Marrakech. The location of this riad was particularly great, everything was within a 15-30 min walk. The neighbourhood was busy both during the day (with many tourists wondering around) and at night (with mostly locals). The room was fairly spacious and kept clean, we were provided a cot for our baby and the bed was comfortable. Overall, the staff were the highlight of our stay and made the whole experience so much better!
The transport service was more expensive compared to local taxis, however, we were happy to pay the extra fee as we were able to travel worry-free at a time that was convenient to us. The fixed menu, although delicious, was overpriced and there were no drinks included- for the price paid, we expected at least a glass of water (we paid separately for water). There were many restaurants nearby which offered delicious meals for a third of the price and far more options.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at Riad Jakoura in Marrakech. The place is modest but exceptionally clean and well cared for. What truly made our experience special was the warm and attentive hospitality of Mohamed and Samira. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, always with a smile and genuine kindness. If we ever return to Marrakech, we would definitely choose Riad Jakoura again. Highly recommended for those looking for a simple, clean, and warmly hosted stay in the heart of the city.

Verified reviewMohamed was very helpful, breakfast was good, certainly enough to set me up for the day, lovely terrace area and room large enough for one and to do some yoga on the mat
The room was quite hot with no air, would have preferred a thicker curtain on the window as I felt it was see through when the light was on, steps to the terrace were quite difficult to navigate

Verified reviewThe staff were all great as was the breakfast. Other rooms are probably different but I booked a single and it was small. I found it charming as was the doorway to it, which requires stooping. Some might find that a problem. The breakfast area is beautiful and the location excellent.

Verified reviewThe reception of Mohamed was very good and kind. His friendly service and Information about Morocco in general was so interesting. it was much more than just 'handing out the keys'.
The roof terrace needs some refurbish, some items are quite worn and dusty. it would be nice if the management gave out a bit more and different stuff for breakfast. The location is in a side street of an extremely busy and loud road with LOTS of traffic and Fußes.

Verified reviewThe facilities need a face lift as the wall paint appears fading, and we have too many red curtains, which can be changed to a brighter colour to give the room a better appearance. But in all, Samera(apologies if I get the spelling of the name wrong) and Mohammed are wonderful staff who went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thanks both. You are wonderful.

Verified reviewAs a solo traveller I was bit nervous. Mohammad was amazing!. He walked me at night to the ATM because I was scared to go alone at night. He showed me a map and told me where I should and shouldn't go and what scams to look out for. Breakfast is 8- 10 but he got up early to make me breakfast before my tours. Mohammad went above and beyond for me and everyone else, he made my holiday more enjoyable as he was just a text away if I needed him. I came for a holiday and gained a great friend. Samira cleaned my room and always did a great job. When I return to Morroco I will stay at those Riad again. It was really authentic and the rooftop terrace was a bonus. I would highly recommend to others looking for a Riad in Marrakesh. They booked my transfers to and feom the airport and
I would have liked to have been able to open a window to let some fresh air in but it wasn't a major problem. My single room was dark but again not a major problem. I also think the red paint could be replaced with a lighter colour but this is just constructive criticism. Samira was so helpful before I even arrived. Thank you!

Verified reviewMohammed was a fantastic asset to the riad. He made our stay there.
The room was very dark and not particularly pleasant to spend time in unless sleeping
Good evening dear customer regarding the lighting in this room, it was enough to simply point it out, we could have used a stronger bulb which is not always to the taste of other customers, but the customer remains king. Regarding the equipment, can you tell me what is missing? I would be happy to help. Kind regards
