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 reviewWe absolutely loved our stay at this Riad! From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were staying with family. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They truly made our experience in Marrakech feel special. Special thanks to Anwer and Aziz. Also Houssaine, Fatim Zehra, Ghizlaw. The location is also perfect. Tucked away in a quiet alley, it's a peaceful retreat from the bustling medina, yet it's just a short walk to all the main attractions. We were able to easily explore everything on foot. The access alley is narrow,. as is for many Riads, which can be intimidating, but we walked back to the Riad late at night and always felt safe, no problem. Our room was beautiful and kept impeccably clean. The Riad itself is stunning, with a lovely courtyard where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning. This Riad is a true gem and we can't recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!

Verified reviewVery beautiful quiet riad, in a great location inside the medina. The alley may through you off a bit but it’s not dangerous. The breakfast is definitely worth it; very good quantity and lovely orange juice. There is a beautiful terrace with a nice view and privacy. The best thing about the riad is definitely the two hosts, Houssaine and Houssaine which they were always very helpful. We had lots of lovely chats with them and feel like they made our trip very special. This is definitely not a goodbye!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the riad, the breakfast, and especially the time with Houssaine and Houssaine. It was a pleasure having you—until next time!

Verified reviewOur stay at this charming Riad in Marrakech was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with exceptional warmth and courtesy by the staff, who consistently went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their genuine hospitality truly added a special touch to our experience. One of the highlights of the Riad is its beautiful rooftop terrace. With a panoramic view over the city’s rooftops and the distant Atlas Mountains, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Whether you're sipping mint tea at sunset or enjoying a quiet morning, the terrace offers a serene escape with stunning vistas. Breakfast each morning was another treat — generous, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. From traditional Moroccan breads and pastries to fruit and yogurt, everything was delicious and nourishing, setting us up perfectly for the day ahead. Just a short note about the Riad's location. While pointed out as somewhat "difficult", it is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby streets, and offers a calm and secluded atmosphere, yet remains just a short walk from the main attractions. It’s a true oasis where you can enjoy the best of Marrakech while retreating to a quiet, relaxing space when needed. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authenticity, comfort, and a touch of Moroccan charm.

Given the location within the Medina, the Riad like many others is located down a couple of side alleyways. A sign referencing the Riad would be helpful

We mistook the water pool to be hot and it wasent , so not sure if that was us reading wrong but the time of year we went , it wasent ideal but visually, its a beautiful small pool that in the summer heat i imagine would be a great asset.
