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 Riad is extremely charming, beautifully decorated and lives up to the idea of beautiful Moroccan aesthetics. The court, swimming pool area, rooftop and room look make you feel like you’re in a fairytale. Breakfast is also very good.
The water in the pool did not seem extremely clean and the storage options in the room are not huge.

Verified reviewWe wanted a bit of a treat at the end of our trip and this place did not disappoint. Easy to find. Taxi dropped us by Bab Yacout, and the Riad is about 30 seconds down the road. Behind the door is a gem of a place. We were welcomed into the serene garden and welcomed with tea before being shown up to our exquisite rooms. The decor throughout is simple, tasteful and luxurious. Beds are comfy, there's a safety box and aircon. The pool is a wonderful bonus, and the roof terrace is really pleasant with plenty of space to loaf about. Breakfast was impressive, with fruits, yoghurt as well as coffee, bread and jam.
It's a bit further out from the centre if you want to head to the Jemaa El Fna. The food menu looked amazing and we planned to eat at the Riad, so it was a pity the chef was on holiday. Next time!

Verified reviewI had a fantastic stay at Riad Spa Sindibad. I stayed here for one week as a solo traveller and found this to be the ideal location. Included breakfast was plentiful, the Riad was beautiful and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Marwan and the rest of the team working there couldn’t be more happy to assist with any questions or requests. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The place is clean, comfortable and made the perfect location for relaxing in the day/ evening when not out sightseeing.
At first I was a little bit apprehensive staying at the location as a solo traveller because it did initially feel like the Riad was in an unsafe area. However after experiencing enough of the city I soon realised I had nothing to worry about and felt very safe walking around the streets during the day and night. There are many other Riads located in this area so you will often see tourists walking around. I never had any issues when out and about around this location. You will be far safer as a tourist visiting Marrakech than you would be as a tourist visiting a big city in the UK.

Verified reviewThe hospitality was fantastic, the breakfast was excellent and dinner at the hotel restaurant was great in big portions. The bedroom was big and comfortable with a good AC and bathroom. The staff are very kind and sociable giving information and making sure that your stay is as good as it can get.
The pool could do with some more cleaning during the day.

Verified reviewLoved the authenticity of the place and how calming it was.
Only thing I can pinpoint is the bees on the rooftop terrace for breakfast. This can't be helped unfortunately and they do try to manage this .

Verified reviewGreat Riad, full of life, the staff is very attentive. The room was excellent, clean and cozy. Great terrace, pool and food. We stayed here during our last night and it was pretty much the best place we ever stayed in Morocco. We would definitely come back here.

Verified reviewThis riad, its atmosphere is created by the people working there. Especially if you are in Marrakesh for the first time, I recommend this place with all my heart. I literally felt at home here. Nothing was the slightest problem. I received help with everything I asked for. The entire team was warm, friendly and always smiling. Thank you very much for a great stay.🤗😁👌

Verified reviewThe room sizes where good.
We booked 4 rooms and was asked to pay a deposit via bank transfer which alarmed me but I did anyway. We were then asked to pay full balance before we even checked in, which I refused. We were then told we had to pay in cash as a card payment would incur a 3% charge. All of which is not detailed in the booking ad or policies. Breakfast was not good at all. Cold coffee, dry and stale breads and cakes. Bad smell of dirty drains everywhere especially in the toilet areas and roof top where we ate breakfast. Some rooms where as photos but a few where shabby with broken chairs and not to standard expected. The rooftop seating area smelt of cats wee and was covered in hairs. Overall the property is in need of some TLC. Disappointed for the price we paid we could have got so much better else where. It very much felt like a back packers hostel rather than a spa Riad as advertised. I have stayed in several places in and around Marrakesh and this was the worst. I would not return.
