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.).

Once inside experienced an oasis of calm we were welcomed with mint tea the manager Khamissa checked us in and gave us maps and great advice on where to go and what to see . Our room was lovely and we had the best sleep in the most comfortable beds with crisp white bed linen . Our meal was lovely on our first evening. Throughout our stay we could not fault this hidden gem a big thank you to Khassima Ashraf Ahmed Abdul Joudia & Fatima they could not do enough for us . Breakfast was plentiful fresh and varied served on the roof terrace each morning . We would definitely return to Riad Pachavana and would like to thank all the staff who made our stay memorable!

Verified reviewThe staff was lovely. They helped us with activities we wanted to do in the city. They also helped with providing drivers of their trust to take us to different places. The breakfast was really good, freshly made and no processed foods involved. The room was also nice and cleaned and the location itself is as good as it gets.
Honestly nothing comes to mind. It would have been nice to be informed of the tourist taxes that we have to pay as we didn't expect it to be so high but other than that nothing to report.
Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review! We’re truly happy to hear that you appreciated the location, the cleanliness of the room, the quality of the breakfast, and the assistance from our team with activities and transportation.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very glad you appreciated our staff and the overall quality of the Riad. We’re truly sorry that your stay was affected by the behavior of other guests. While we always aim to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, as you experienced, some situations can be difficult to predict or control in a shared accommodation like a Riad. Please rest assured that we are reinforcing our efforts to remind all guests of the importance of respecting others’ comfort and keeping noise levels down, especially in the evenings. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in a calmer setting. Riad Pachavana

Verified reviewStaying at this Riad was an absolute dream. Tucked away within the bustling Medina, it felt like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary the moment we walked through the doors. The contrast between the lively streets outside and the serene, beautifully decorated courtyard inside was nothing short of magical. The staff were incredibly welcoming and warm—genuinely attentive without being intrusive. Every interaction felt personal and sincere, which made us feel right at home. Our room was tastefully decorated in traditional Moroccan style with vibrant tiles, soft lighting, and comfortable bedding. The attention to detail was evident everywhere—from incense sticks on the table to fragrant toiletries. Breakfasts on the rooftop terrace were a highlight: fresh fruit, warm bread, jams, and the most delicious mint tea... We also appreciated how the Riad balanced authenticity with modern comforts like air conditioning, and hot showers—all while maintaining a very local, artisanal feel. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend this Riad to anyone seeking a true Moroccan experience with warmth, charm, and tranquility. An unforgettable stay that made our visit to Marrakech truly special!
If there’s one thing to note, it is that at times the atmosphere was less tranquil due to noisy families with young children. We were lucky as we only had to put up with it on the last day of our stay. While understandable, it did take away slightly from the otherwise serene and romantic ambiance. I believe this Riad would be even more perfect as an adults-only retreat, ideal for couples and solo travelers seeking peace and quiet.
Thank you so much for your beautifully written and thoughtful review. We’re truly touched by your kind words and delighted to hear that your stay at our Riad was such a memorable and special experience. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the contrast between the vibrant streets of the Medina and the peaceful atmosphere within the Riad. We’re especially happy that you felt at home thanks to the warmth and attentiveness of our team, your comfort and satisfaction are always our top priorities. We’re also thrilled to know that you enjoyed the traditional Moroccan decor, the attention to detail in your room, and the breakfasts on the rooftop, we agree, there’s nothing like fresh fruit and mint tea in the morning sun! Regarding your comment about the occasional noise, thank you for pointing it out in such a kind and constructive way. While we try our best to maintain a tranquil and relaxing environment for all our guests, we understand how important this aspect is, especially for couples or solo travelers seeking calm. Your feedback is very valuable and will be taken into careful consideration as we continue to improve. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another peaceful escape in Marrakech.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the beauty of the Riad, its location, and the breakfast. Regarding your comments, we would like to mention that our beds have recently been renewed following high standards, but of course, we understand that preferences for mattress firmness can vary from one guest to another. As for the breakfast box, we are truly sorry for the misunderstanding, it is possible that the request was made to someone who was not in charge of morning preparations. We will certainly reinforce our internal communication to avoid such situations in the future. We sincerely hope to have the chance to welcome you again and offer you an even better experience.
