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 very liked the staff and the warm welcome. Pool was obviously amazing and good place to relax after the day’s heat. The excursions were great and staff even helped to plan in a day before (in the evening) so it was quite good. We really liked the traditional aesthetic. The room itself could have had a better bed, ours was really cranky and made loud noises even if you just sit down on it. AC was a life saviour, shower was good, cleaning services was outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and full filing.
Prices on the excursions might differ at the end.

Verified reviewYoussef and Khalid as well as the entire team were perfect hosts. Always willing to help, chat, and discover the culture and way of life in Marrakech. My friend and I felt like the riad was our home.
The only thing I didn't like about this accommodation was that the money was taken from my card immediately after booking (a month and a half before departure), even though it was written that you pay at the facility when you arrive, and even though I filtered in the search bar only facilities where you pay after arrival.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We’re truly delighted to hear that Oussef, Khalid, and the entire team made you feel at home and helped you discover the beauty of Marrakech — your appreciation means a lot to us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the payment. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially since you expected to pay upon arrival. Please know that this is not our intention to cause confusion, and we will review our booking information to ensure it is as clear as possible for future guests. We truly hope that despite this, you and your friend left with good memories and that we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back again one day. Warmest regards, Riad Les Etoiles Berbères Spa

Verified reviewWe stayed in a couple Riad’s in Marrakech and this one was by far the best! The beautiful, convenient and quiet location considering we are in the middle of medina, the activities they offered and smoothly organised (desert experience, mountain hike, medina tour and Hammam and massage) all organised by the beautiful and lovely staff. The breakfast was amazing, the rooftop was unreal, the rooms so clean and spacious and above all the lovely staff, in particular, Khalid, Sofiane, Mustafa and both Mohammad’s made the trip one we will never forget. Thank you Riad Les Etoiles Berberes. I will recommend you to everyone we know visiting your lovely city.

We are honored to have been a part of your journey in Marrakech, and your recommendation means the world to us. You will always be welcome here your home in the heart of the medina.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at the hotel and want to give a special shout-out to Khalid at the front desk. He was incredibly helpful throughout our visit – he arranged taxis for us, recommended fun activities in the area, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. His warm and professional attitude really made a difference. We’d also like to thank Ayoub, who kindly helped me when I got a bit lost – really appreciated! The service overall was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff. The hotel itself was very clean and modern, with comfortable beds and a great atmosphere. The location was convenient, and we felt at home right away. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and secure hotel experience. Thanks again, especially to Khalid!

Verified reviewThe entire experience was perfect, largely thanks to the wonderful team at the Riad. From the manager, Idriss, to Ali, Youssef, Ousman—and apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone—they were the most welcoming and hospitable hosts we have ever encountered. At the start of our stay, they took the time to explain everything about the city, offering thoughtful recommendations on how to get around and what to see and do. Each day, they were always available to answer our questions and accommodate our requests, always with a warm smile and genuine kindness. The Riad itself is absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, and our room was fantastic. The ambience was truly magical: soft Moroccan music playing in the background, the fragrant scent of Moroccan spice oil in the air, and birds flying and singing, all combining to create a little haven in the heart of the bustling Medina. The location might seem a little unusual or even slightly daunting at first glance, but I can assure you that everyone living in the narrow street leading to the Riad, and in the surrounding area, is genuinely kind and welcoming. From adults to young children, everyone greeted us with a smile and always ended with, “Welcome to Marrakech.” Truly exceptional people. I wholeheartedly recommend this Riad to anyone, and I will certainly be returning soon!
Everything was exceptional!
Dear Kyriakos, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review. On behalf of myself, Ali, Youssef, Ousman, and the entire team at Riad Les Étoiles Berbères & Spa, it was a real pleasure to host you. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re incredibly happy to know that your stay with us was such a positive and memorable experience. We’re especially grateful that you took the time to notice the little details — from the ambiance of the riad to the spirit of the neighborhood and the warmth of the people around us. We always do our best to make our guests feel at home, and knowing we succeeded with you is the greatest reward. We sincerely thank you for your trust and your recommendation, and we will be waiting to welcome you back with open arms on your next visit to Marrakech.

Verified reviewThe Riad is slightly out of the super busy areas which is great, its really peaceful, easy to find with signs leading you the way, and still a 15 min walk from the souks and other sights. Its clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful, breakfast was always great with mouthwatering smells coming from the kitchen every time we passed by it. The room was nice, comfortable bed and clean bathroom. And the roof terrace was really nice, it was amazing to soak in the sun and rest a bit from the crazy energy you find on the streets.
Cant say my partner and i had any problems.

Verified reviewFantastic staff. Loved the hamman (sauna and body scrub) and then a massage bed set up in our room. Perfect way to end a busy day. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.Bed was very comfortable and the whole place was lovely and clean.
It’s not easy to find especially as the signage was for the previous name of the riad ( Med Jad). New signs are definitely needed.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed our location, rooftop terrace, and breakfast. It’s especially rewarding to hear that our staff made your stay memorable. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Verified reviewWe liked the friendly staff (Oussam, Youssef and all the others - thank you for making this such a great experience!), the room related to this booking (Note: Not all rooms are the same) which was beautiful and comfortable, and also the food that was being served. In addition to the Riad being an exotic gem in the old town and well worth a visit, the caring staff made all the difference.
A general challenge when travelling in winter: the Riad is cold in winter, and there is no central heating. This was the case in all the riads we visited, not only in this one. Be prepared and bring a warm nightgown.
Dear Ktlen, thank you for taking the time to share your satisfaction. We hope to see you again very soon! Big thanks from all the Riad Les Etoiles Berberes Team🙂
