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):
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.
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.).

Everything was perfect : the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the location was central and super convenient (less than 10 min walk of the main square from where all the excursions start). The place was stunning, the rooftop is so pleasant at night, the air-conditioning works perfectly. The cleaning is done everyday with such great care. And another note about the staff : they really really make you feel at home, treat you like family it's was really an absolute pleasure to meet them. We will definitely go back there when we go back to Marrakech 💖

ItalyNothing, all was perfect ❤️
Strategic location and not even 30 meters from the souk’s narrow streets, spotless cleanliness, and rooms that reflect a true and authentic Riad style. But the real strength of this place is the people who work there. Beyond their extremely valuable advice, they are warm and helpful — we spent a long time chatting with them, and they are truly fantastic individuals. Breakfasts on the terrace are spectacular and plentiful. The pool is small but refreshing. I’m totally satisfied with this experience.

I had a great experience at this location. The pool was lovely, and my room was adorable. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe during my stay. Yaya, a staff member, was absolutely fantastic. He is truly an amazing person who made me feel very welcomed and was exceptionally helpful. I will definitely return.

United StatesYaya was the host that greeted me when I arrived; he was incredibly welcoming and you could tell that he was passionate about ensuring his guests had a relaxing stay at the Riad. One of my favorite memories from my solo trip was just having tea and chatting on the rooftop for a little while after I checked in. He also had great ideas to improve the Riad, adding a room, improving certain furniture, etc. which showed me they are constantly looking for improvement even though the stay itself was already fantastic. The solo room I had came with a great view of the little pool below and it was a perfect size for one person.

ItalyNothing to complain about
I recommend the Riad 100%. Not only to mention the strategic position but also due to the way it is kept. Really clean, really peaceful(even being in the centre of Medina) and strategically placed near excursions pick up. How not to mention the terrace; a great spot to relax at the end of the day. The best of it all refers to the guys who manage the Riad. Super friendly and super helpful about everything you need. They will make your journey a better journey.

United KingdomWe had a great stay at Riad Sanwa. It is in a very central and convenient location. The Riad is just as described and comfortable. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Especially Yaya, who picked us up from the taxi and showed us his recommendations for a nearby restaurant and shop. The breakfast was of a good quality and very tasty. Would definitely recommend this Riad!

United KingdomNothing! Everything was perfect, beyond my expectations! ☺️
Riad Sanwa is absolutely amazing! It is at the centre of the Medina, a walking distance from most of the tourists attractions and restaurants in Marrakesh. The Riad is clean and serene which is great for when you have spent all day in the busy and sunny atmosphere of Marrakesh. Once you enter the Riad, there is no noise at all, which is great if you want to take a nap or just relax. I absolutely loved the decor of the Riad, I took so many pictures! 🤭 My room was perfect and the bed was very comfy! I wasn't expecting a lot when I booked the place and didn't know if the reviews were genuine about how hospitable the staff members were. I can testify that the staff members (Mohammed, Fatima, Yahia) were exceptionally excellent! They were very accommodating and ready to help always! They were very professional but friendly and they respected my personal space, which I really appreciated. Very polite and once again professional! The breakfast was enough and satisfying for one person. I always left the table very full and happy! I received sliced banana with my breakfast one morning, something that I really appreciated. I would suggest for fruits to be included as a standard everyday (this is just because I love fruits, maybe not everyone appreciates fruits though). I absolutely recommend Riad Sanwa! I can't praise it enough! Looking forward to visiting it again soon! ☺️

GermanyI had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Riad during a recent business trip to Marrakech, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, making it easy to get around and soak in the vibrant energy of Marrakech. But what truly set this stay apart was the hospitality. Hamza, Yahya, Mohammed, and Fati—each of them went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and cared for. From the warm greetings to the thoughtful little touches, their kindness and attentiveness made me feel more like a guest in their home than a visitor. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and I left with nothing but gratitude. Highly recommend this Riad to anyone looking for not just a place to stay, but an experience to remember.

AustraliaThe young employed host smoked in the lounge and on the terraces. He had trouble arranging our transport to our tour meeting point as we had lots of luggage.
The Riad was right in a bustling part of the medina which is fairly noisy at night as we opened our window onto the street. Breakfast was great up on the rooftop terrace.

GermanyOur room looked very nice, but being on the ground floor, it was rather dark and humid. We recommend booking one of the rooms on the upper floors if you have the choice.
The riad is centrally located in the heart of the medina, and very nicely designed. Our favourite was the super nice young staff, and the breakfasts on the roof terrace. We would come back any time - thank you so much!
