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 KingdomIt was great value for the price we paid and there wasn't really anything we didn't like about our stay at the Riad.
The staff was very helpful and very friendly. We interacted mainly with Samir and will remember his very positive attitude, his smile and the time he spent with us to help us and answer our questions. The location of the Riad is good and we found it good value for money. The small swimming pool on the roof top is great for children to relax after a day of visiting the city. Great breakfast in the morning.

IrelandNothing. Everyone was amazing and very helpful.
The staffs were all amazing. Samir and Abdullah are really kind and accommodating. They helped us a lot during our stay and the hotel really exceeds our expectations. For such a cheap price, we had a beautiful traditional room and breakfast was delicious. All are freshly made and we loved it. The place is also near of everything. The square, palais el bahia, place menallah are a few minutes walk away. The place is also safe amd has free wifi. Just look out for the motorcycles on the streets. At first, you would think that it’s scary because there’s a lot of narrow streets before the hotel, but that’s the beauty of it. My friends and I really had fun and will definitely go back again. Additionally, Samir helped us book a taxi going to airport even on his day off. He is such a sweetheart. I definitely recommend the hotel. Also, if you want to buy argan oils and anything for souvenirs, go to the store beside the cafe restaurant at palace menallah. Just on other street. Look for Isham. He is very good at explaining every product and will give you a discount! He such a good berber. I will put the image of his shop on this.

United KingdomWe got lost returning on our first night as the riad is very tucked away in a maze of alleys, but we were fine after that - and in the light! Abdul pointed out we should have rung him; he would have come to find us!
Immaculately clean and very comfortable with high attention to detail - great bedding etc Fantastic value. Lovely breakfast on the terrace, changes every day. We especially loved the yoghurt ( home made) and the honey. Best of all, though, is the level of 24- hour service . Nothing is too much trouble and it really made us feel so confident and happy in what was a strange city for us. Abdul met our taxi ( sent by the riad to the airport) to guide us and waited with us for the taxi to go back. Every advice and help was given by Abdul and Samir - how much things should cost, where to go etc. everyone at the riad so friendly and nice. I’d recommend wholeheartedly.

United KingdomBeautiful property which encapsulated the traditional architecture and beauty of Morocco. The property was kept clean and was a very hospitable environment. It was located very close to many of the main tourist attractions which made it convenient but also far enough to get a rest and some quiet from the hustle and bustle of the area.
