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 wonderful stay at this small riad in Marrakech. Dunia and Rashid welcomed us with such warmth and humanity — always kind, always ready to help. They were constantly available with great advice, it was nice to spend time with them. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the pool was a perfect spot to relax, and the breakfasts were truly delicious every single morning. We felt incredibly well cared for — thank you, Dunia and Rashid, for everything, from all of the Italian group!

Verified reviewFriendly helpful staff Roof top terrace and pool Comfortable rooms Good breakfasts and catered for food intolerances well.
The location was not ideal. A taxi can’t drop you off at the door, so navigating your way there in the dark lugging suitcases wasn’t ideal. The paving in the alleys leading to the riad were a bit uneven and often unclean, with food litter. We appreciate that’s not the riad fault, but part of Marrakech inner city living.

Verified reviewThe staff (Rached and Dounya) were both very nice and welcoming. Our room was comfortable with a great shower and very good wifi. The breakfast was good and plenty. On our last evening, Rached kindly organized our transfer to the airport for the early morning next day on a very short notice and prepared take away breakfast for us. The rooftop has a beautiful view and the architecture of the riad itself is very beautiful.
Location: the riad is located in less touristy part of town. We arrived at 21:30 (already dark) and were surrounded by a big group of children who followed us to the riad and kept asking for money. It was very stressful. No card payment: in the property, you have to pay the room in cash either in Euro or DH. As we did not have enough Euro in cash with us, the room’s cost was converted to DH with an unrealistic rate. We ended up paying 15€ more than Booking’s offer. Messy courtyard: It was impossible to enjoy the courtyard because it was messy; there were constantly things (bed sheets, jackets, boxes of water, etc.) left on the tables and chairs. The reception desk right in the courtyard also takes away the charming feeling most riads have.

Verified reviewWhat a cosy Riad this is! We had the Junior suit and felt right at home from the beginning. The hosts were amazing, welcoming and very helpful! The location was prefect to explore the Medina of Marrakech by foot. The rooftop was a great place to relax and take a break from all the walking around. We can only recommend staying here!

Verified reviewThe decorations of the riad are really beautiful. The rooms are cleaned and tidy every day. Rachid was an amazing host of our stay. Breakfast was fresh every morning and delicious. The location couldn't be more perfect, 15 minutes of the big square but also with loads of local shops nearby. The rooftop gives us an amazing view, and the pool is really nice too. Overall, our stay was very good and definitely enjoyed.

Verified reviewEverything about this Riad is great. The staff are amazing and so helpful, they make you feel as if you are at home. Rachid was the best host and did everything to make us feel welcome. We arrived very late at night after a delayed flight and they had arranged for a taxi to pick us up directly from the airport and we had dinner prepared for us which was the best start to the holiday. I would definitely recommend getting a meal at the Riad. The breakfast every morning was perfect and more than enough to start you off for the day. We couldn’t ask for anything more. The room was always clean and tidy, as was the whole Riad. It was a perfect location for us and we managed to walk everywhere no problem. The roof terrace is perfect for relaxing after exploring and I’m sure the pool in the hotter months would be great too. We can’t recommend this Riad enough, there are no faults whatsoever, thank you to the staff for looking after us! We would love to come back!

Verified reviewWe have had a lovely stay in Riad Soud. Dounia and Rachid were looking after us during the whole staying, suggesting different places to visit and making sure we were comfortable and safe. The Riad is 10 minutes walking from the Medina. Breakfast was stunning and very delicious with traditional Moroccan food. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to Marrakech.

Verified reviewVery nice staff, especially Hasis (not sure if spelled like that), he was amazing. Location looks quite strange when you first arrive, in a small alley, but it's super good. Nice riad with nice terrace.
We got the room next to reception, what I didn't like. It was loud in the morning and we felt little privacy since everybody colmuld hear everything and the receptionist is actually sitting like 1 m away form your bed.
