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.).

United KingdomWe loved our stay here, only comment is the entrance is slightly tucked away from the road it is in and can be hard to find at first!
We really loved our stay here. It’s a traditional riad in a quieter, local part of the city, which gave us a different and very welcome perspective on Marrakech. We happened to be the only guests during our stay, which made it extra peaceful, yet the staff were still incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The building is full of character and very well kept.l and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It felt calm, personal, and like a very genuine experience. We would definitely recommend it, and thanks again to the whole team for this incredible welcome!!!

ItalyThe riad was just a bit outside the medina (8 min by foot) but this detail did not have an impact on our stay.
Very nice and comfortable riad just outside the Medina. Breakfast was amazing, the room was very clean and the bathroom was very spacious (with everything you need). Our host was just amazing. Would recommend booking here!

IrelandIf I was on my own I think I’d have felt nervous walking back to the riad at night as it’s a little off the beaten track. But then I don’t like doing this at home either!
The riad is a peaceful refuge from the craziness of the Medina! It’s about a 15 minute walk to Jemaa el-Fna. The staff were really lovely, breakfast was good, and the room comfortable.

United KingdomI purposely booked a room with two single beds and they gave it to somebody else promised that I could have it back the next day but never forgot it so then I had to share a bed with my friend . Spent a long time finding a Riad I had single beds so it’s extremely annoying and uncomfortable sharing with a bed with somebody you don’t want to share a bed with. You really need to think about this next time.
Love the raid it was very well done and maintained
