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 reviewThe Staffs Nadir, Mehdi, Mouad, and FatimZahra are amazing, and nothing is too much (and the older man too didnt catch his name sorry, great team!). They are warm, friendly and very helpful. We loved the special touches in our room as it was my birthday, that's was thoughtful.
We wasn't keen on the breakfast selection, could be better. The pastry/cake was very dry but mint tea was good.

Verified reviewBeautiful old Palais,comfortable bed,quiet,large terraces.Beautiful bird song in the morning.
The customer service was terrible from the two people doing front of house ,everything seemed to be for their convenience and not mine,they were very unwelcoming .They wanted me to pay cash for a room that wasn’t being vacated for another night at 10pm when I arrived back tired although I’d been in The riad all day .Usually you pay your bill at the end of a stay.They behaved as if I might run off without paying.There was a girl who apologised on their behalf because I said something to one of the men . The Shower head in bathroom needed attention and flooded floor.The food was ok but items were forgotten.Didn’t seem a very happy place.

Verified reviewI was honestly very pleased with my overall experience at Palais Tinmel. The staff was kind, we were treated very well since our arrival. The place is beautiful, a true oasis! The breakfast was also very good, with both savory and sweet options and the staff was always available to attend our requests on more fruit or coffee. We were blown away by the overall feeling of the place when we arrived: nice ambiance, incredible smell and a lovely welcoming tea with Moroccan pastries. We also hade one dinner at the hotel and the food was delicious, although a bit on the pricey side. In general I would highly recommend staying there and I feel we had a beautiful and positive experience in a true Riad.
I'm rating a 9 because, although the place is amazing and we loved our stay, there is still room for improvements. I would recommend making sure the lighting in the rooms is always warm (we had a couple of cold-lighted light bulbs which were not very pleasant) and perhaps a choice of lower pillows, since the ones we had were a bit too high for us. The location is also a tiny bit further away from the center of the medina — which for us was not really a problem, but for others less keen on walking could be.

Verified reviewGorgeous riad slightly on the outskirts of the medina, away from the very touristy spots and people trying to catch attention to sell stuff. Yet still very easy to walk to restaurants and the centre of the medina. We came back to Marrakech a week later and wished we stayed at Palais Tinmel again. Comfortable and clean.
Breakfast is decent, could be better for the price.

Verified reviewThe staff was professional and greeted us at our car and offered us tea and cookies while they asked us what we wanted to plan and gave us tips on having a wonderful stay.
What I didn't like had nothing to do with the hotel or staff. It was more to do with the Riad . The whole experience was surreal . I really loved my stay here

Verified reviewThe riad is truly beautiful with traditional tiled floors, Berber rugs, carved shutters and beautiful Moroccan stained glass lampshades. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had a family room which was perfect for travelling with two children. There is a small swimming pool which the kids enjoyed and places to relax and sunbathe. As soon as you step into the riad you leave the hustle and bustle of the Medina and souks behind. It's a haven of peace and tranquillity with birds singing in the courtyard.
It would have been nice to have a hamman/ massage at the riad. There was an offer of this but at another nearby riad.
