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 had a lovely time at riad Sakura. Erico was a fantastic host and helped us a lot. The Riad is just a short walk to the tourist sites in the medina but down a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. Would recommend to stay here if you’re visiting Marrakesh.
Staying in a Riad gives you a more authentic experience but you don’t have all the modern conveniences of a hotel so it may not be for everyone.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was exceptional. The staff are super friendly and they all went out of their way to make us comfortable. I highly recommend this Riad if you are looking for a relaxing and comfortable place in the heart of the busy Madina.

Verified reviewVery calm and silent. You can fully relax after spending time in the bazaar. It is run by a Japanese lady who really takes care of you and provides you with all information. Great breakfast and location. Easy to get it.
There are many cats around the area and so e are sneaking inside. I am personally not bothered by cats but for people who are allergic maybe it. An be problematic.

Verified reviewAbsolutely my favorite hotel. The property is so well decorated. This is no plain vanilla hotel. The attention to detail is unmistakable. Seemed every inch was well thought out.
The owner was superb in making my wife and I feel comfortable, safe and welcomed. I wish every hotel could take lessons from her.

Verified reviewMy friend and I were very excited about our trip to Marrakech, and while searching for accommodation, Riad Sakura immediately caught our attention! Not only did it have excellent reviews, but it was also centrally located. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Eriko, the riad owner. She was one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve ever met. Eriko was incredibly helpful, offering valuable recommendations and travel tips for exploring Marrakech. The riad itself is charmingly small, with about 5-6 rooms, creating a cozy and private atmosphere. Breakfast was included with our booking, and it exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed relaxing breakfasts every morning on the terrace, where Eriko's staff were also very accommodating and friendly. Overall, Marrakech was one of the best trips I've been on, and staying at Riad Sakura was undoubtedly the best decision we made for this trip! I highly recommend Riad Sakura, and with Eriko as your host, you’ll be well taken care of and guaranteed a wonderful stay.
Maybe the best could be a bit more comfy:)

Verified reviewNot only is Riad Sakura beautifully restored and very comfortable but the owner/host is a lovely, helpful woman. She even let us stay an extra night while the beginnings of a construction project was going on! We were the only guests (she was actually closed for a few days.) The construction noise was minimal and we were very grateful.

Verified reviewYou won’t regret booking a stay at Riad Sakura whilst in Marrakech, in fact, it will probably be the best decision you make. There’s a reason why this Riad has over 40 perfect ratings. The location and amenities of this quaint space combined with Eriko and her staff’s exceptional hospitality will leave you wishing you booked a longer stay. Overall, I could go on forever, but I will spare the details because other reviews have covered them extensively. This was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had let alone in Morocco. You will not be disappointed. P.S Shout out to Momo-san and Guri-chan who made our experiences that much sweeter!

Verified reviewBeautiful riad location in the center of the old city (the medina). Very clean, with all the necessary amenities. The host was very helpful and responsive. Excellent breakfast was served upon our requested hours. Even though we had to leave early in the morning, the host made sure to prepare our breakfast earlier in order for us not to miss it. Transport from and to the airport was assisted by our kind host. Overall an excellent riad and definitely recommended. Thank you once again!

I wish the beds were a little more comfortable and sometimes our room smelled a little bit like sewage.
