Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesMy partner and I disagree on how comfortable the bed was. It was very hard and firm. If you like that, you will enjoy sleeping here!
This riad is a lovely getaway - very close to the souks and the Jemaa el-Fnaa but on a quiet street with a lovely little courtyard and a terrace on the roof. The rooms are thoughtfully appointed: very simple but with everything we needed (including an individual air conditioner and a large bed). Mubarak was a wonderful host who speaks English well, is a fantastic cook, and a lovely human. We had a wonderful stay and wholeheartedly recommend Riad Laichi to others!

United KingdomEntirely depends on preference but I thought the lighting in the main area of the room was slightly dim; then by contrast the bathroom light was really harsh. A very minor note all the same!
Nice and secluded location, about ten minutes walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa. Mubarak was very friendly and accommodating, offering some mint tea upon arrival and letting me store my luggage until the room was ready. The riad is fantastic and I would love to stay again for longer in the future!

United KingdomLoved this small traditional accommodation, in the medina far enough away from the main square so it was quiet but close enough for a nice 10 minute walk to the square. The bed was the comfiest bed I’ve slept in, and Mubarak was a lovely host, warm, friendly and always there greeting you with a smile. As this is a traditional riad, it has all traditional windows and doors which are a little loud opening and closing so be prepared for some slight noise but it wasn’t bad enough to effect your trip.

GermanyThe door locks are in traditional Moroccan style, and are quite loud when opening/closing.
Riad Laichi is a small riad right in the center with all the traditional Moroccan charm! We were lucky to have the room on the top floor with direct access to the rooftop terrace - this made it very quiet, despite other guests on lower levels, with two windows (this is importing to note, as not all rooms in riads have “real” windows to the outside). The location is perfect, in a very safe neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants around on the way towards the medina. The owner was very kind and welcoming, even allowing us to store our big suitcase while we were on a desert excursion.

FranceVery nice hotel, in a convenient location to reach pretty much everywhere around Medina, but at the same time placed in a quiet street (which was important to us). Beds were big and very comfortable, we slept well. The staff were super kind and helpful, we enjoyed our stay very much thanks to them. Definitely recommended for a stay in the city.

Morad was an amazing host. He made our stay pleasant and enjoyable, helping us organizing our activities in Marrakech, and always available to support us. The room at the middle floor was nice and cozy, but the toilet needs few maintenance. The location was very good, since away from the noisy and chaotic center, but still very close to it (10 kin walk to reach the center)

FranceThere is no door within the rooms. Going with friends can be a bit complicated in terms of privacy. The Riad is not that close or far from the Medina (around 15 minutes walking distance)
Morat was nothing but a great person with us! He always checked on us and ensured we had everything we needed. The breakfast he prepared was good; he even sent us some when we needed to leave for the tours early.
