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.).

GermanyWe had a fantastic stay at Samira Riads in Marrakech! Samira Riads is a group of four beautiful riads, and we stayed at Reves d’Orient. The location is perfect—just a 10-minute walk to the Medina. The Riad is peaceful, charming, and very well kept. The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, especially with our kids. They made us feel right at home, even offering free tea (Moroccan whisky ☺️) and delicious cookies! Our 3-year-old son liked the tea a lot and felt very comfortable around the team. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech and will definitely come back on our next trip. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at your Riad—Shukran 🥰👌🏾

GermanyMaybe some more signs on the road, in order to find the hotel more easily, if you do not have an internet connection and google maps available.
This was one one the beste stays we ever had. The staff was very kind and respectful and always available. The breakfast was authentic, as well as the room decoration. Even if the temperature outside was above 45°C, the rooms were cooled to below 20°C. Cooled, filtered water was free, which is a very generous service from the hotel provider! Recommendable in every case!

BelgiumThere were really no negative points about this riad, but if I had to mention something, it would be that sometimes there was a sewage smell in the ground floor room. That said, I believe it’s more of a general issue in Marrakech rather than something specific to the riad. In any case, the staff was always attentive and did their best to resolve it quickly.
We had a truly unforgettable stay at this beautiful riad right in the heart of the Medina. The location couldn’t be better — just next to the Secret Garden and a short walk from all the main attractions like Jemaa el-Fna square. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness by the extraordinary staff: Abdo, Fatah, Fatima, and Fatiha. They made every single day feel special and treated us like family. Thanks to them, we really felt at home. Thank you very much!! The riad itself is cozy, charming, and tastefully decorated, with a lovely traditional atmosphere. The views from the terrace were a wonderful bonus — perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city. Breakfast every morning was absolutely delicious, and we also had dinner at the riad on our first night — a fantastic meal full of flavor and made with love. For those looking to unwind, there are also hammam services available for guests, just around the corner from the riad — another great way to experience Moroccan culture and relax after a busy day. We can’t thank the team enough for making our stay in Marrakech so memorable. Highly recommended!

TurkeyLoved breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Secret Garden. Loved that we were in the Medina but it was so peaceful. The breakfast was different every morning. Top marks for the spread. It's a traditional house so we would hear voices from the courtyard below, but they had a quiet time rule between 10pm and 8 am (i think) so it was never a problem.

United KingdomIt is hard to find. Be sure to call the owner when you are close by in the Madina, i.e. the narrow alley ways. They will come and meet you. Don't let a local guide take money from you to guide you in.

United KingdomWe just got back from Marrakech and I can't say enough positive about Zehar (Samira) Riad and the amazing staff. It truly felt like a family. Adnan was waiting for us right where the taxi dropped us off and helped us carry luggage to the Riad. It's located in the heart of the old city where cars can't go so you walk through the amazing market to the riad. Abdo welcomed us so kindly and helped us figure out our itinerary and best practices for navigating the city while serving us fresh tea and biscuits. The breakfast on the terrace is so delicious with a beautiful view overlooking the secret garden. We had a large group of 4 adults and 5 children (all 8 and under) and everyone treated the children like royalty. Ismael was our primary host and was so incredibly helpful. We went off to the desert for an overnighter before flying out and they allowed us to leave our bags and offered us tea again even after we had checked out. And Adnan helped us carry luggage and walk us to the taxi both times, and refused to take any tip (though I wish he had!) My heart is just filled with joy and gratitude for such wonderful people that feel like a part of my extended family now. Can't recommend Riad Zehar enough. Note that it is also referred to as Riad Samira, but Zehar is on the name of the door :)

My friend was bedridden with a very bad cold for a few days and the lovely cook made her several rounds of soup, totally out of the kindness of her heart! We didn't ask for it and we have no idea how she even knew my friend was so sick! Say no more! When we were welcomed by the wonderful manager, Ishmael, he told us 'this is your home' and it certainly felt that way. I also thought the breakfast was an absolute stand out - they served Moroccan eggs which I hadn't had before at any other Riads, and they were utterly delicious!

United StatesMy rooftop room ("Chawan") was small and I would have been very cramped if I hadn't been traveling solo. AC unit didn't work, so the room was stuffy my first couple of days until the weather cooled. Mosquitos were an issue, presumably due to the proximity of the garden. Tiny, inconspicuous sign made the property difficult to find when I first arrived. Despite advertising here that credit cards are accepted, required full payment in cash.
Very centrally located, right next to Le Jardin Secret, and within walking distance of all of Marrakesh's major sights and architectural monuments. Excellent, very abundant breakfast that differed from day to day. Nice views of the old city from the rooftop terrace. Attentive staff and diligent cleaning.

Both him and Abdo took care of us and help us in many details (transfers , hammam treatments etc). The founder also is a very strong brave woman helping other women. Very powerful example and message.
