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 was beautiful and clean. Our bed was super comfortable and our room was welcoming and clean. The staff were welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.
The bathroom was small with nowhere to put our cosmetic and travel pouches. The shower has no glass and flooded the floor. Our room faced onto the road and at times it was very noisy during the night. We didn't ask to change rooms but I'm sure they would have accommodated us. Our friends didn't experience the street noise so it was particular to our room. The location was a bit sketchy and difficult to find but once you walked in, it was a beautiful hotel/riad.

Verified reviewStaff were so helpful and attentive. They will help you find places. Enjoyed the Hamman and massage at the hotel. Lovely terrace. Pool is inside and small so no exercise in there. Nice breakfast but don't expect full English brekkie. Small side streets can be tough to navigate and had one incident with one guy wanting money but most locals are very helpful. 2 min walk to taxi stop is good. Walk to main square Jemma el Fnaa is 15-20 min depending on crowds, bikes, scooters etc. Overall we preferred our hotel on the edge of that square as it had a nice rooftop pool and was very quiet.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the riad. It was a pleasure having you. We would be honored to welcome you back anytime ;)

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful experience. The Grand Riad and Spa was a very nice property and the decor and architecture was beautiful. The breakfast was very good. The staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed to have a pleasurable stay at both the Riad and for touring in Marrakech and beyond. Special thanks to Ghizlaine, Marwan and Yuosef who were all extremely friendly helpful, warm and caring. They made us feel like we were family!! Overall, an excellent Riad and we would highly recommend it to other travellers.
Everything was great!!

Verified reviewThe staff! Ghizlane and the rest of the team made our stay very comfortable. They made great recommendations of how to plan our long weekend in Marrakech and were very attentive throughout. The Grand Riad and Spa gave the perfect picture of Moroccan hospitality at its finest.
Breakfast was lovely, but we felt it could have been more varied

Verified reviewA good hotel stay begins with a warm and caring reception, and we thought the staff was exceptional from the front desk, to servers and spa personnel. Marwane, in particular, was a wonderful resource and the lady concierge whose name I can’t recall, was incredibly kind and helpful. Our room was lovely, well-appointed and clean.
The only suggestion we have is to vary the breakfast options a bit. From the website, we were under the impression there would be eggs and different items each day. But what we received was very good! I do wish the riad was more centrally located, but it was also nice that it was peaceful.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We truly appreciate it. We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our staff and that you enjoyed your room. Your feedback about the breakfast is valuable, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration. We’re also glad that the peaceful atmosphere added to your stay.

Verified reviewA very personalised experience, Marwaane and Ismael are very accommodating and make you feel at home. They are very humble and are willing to help with anything you need, be it information or advice. The accommodation itself is amazing. From the outside you may be wondering where am I.... from the inside you realise it's heaven. Breakfast was excellent, the beds like sleeping on a cloud. A very safe and secure riad.
I didn't like the fact I was there for a short period of time. I wish I could have stayed longer.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience . It is also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the accommodation and amenities. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the comfort and security of the riad.

Impossible to rinse my hair in the shower :-( The water pressure in the shower is way too low; the handheld showerhead produced only a weak stream, making washing my hair nearly impossible. Also the wifi signal is rather weak, resulting in slow/unstable internet.
Thank you so much for your review! We really appreciate your kind words about our team — we're thrilled to know that you felt well taken care of! We also apologize for the issues you experienced with the water pressure and Wi-Fi. We’ll certainly look into these matters to make improvements.

Verified reviewVery good breakfast with a variety of yoghurt, fruit, bread and omelette. Very good coffee and tea. Ghizlane and her colleagues were sensationally good with extraordinary service and friendliness. Food in general was very good but the most striking part was all the attention and service given to our questions and needs. No ask was too small and we were serviced with transportation, dinner bookings, hotel bookings etc etc. The team organized a surprise celebration for our birthday jubilar with beautiful decorations, cakes and songs. Very mch appreciated. We were all very happy and will certainly be back at the Grand Riad at our next visit to Marrakesh. Thank you Ghizlane and staff

Verified reviewThe Grand Riad is a beautiful, calm spot amidst the hustle and bustle of the Medina. Perfectly located for strolling deep into the alleyways of the Medina and Soul, as well as walking to the restaurants and Jardin Majorelle in Gueliz. Ghizlane and the team are absolutely wonderful and cannot do enough to make your stay as comfortable as possible, as well as being superb concierges for organising taxis and tours. Having mint tea served to us on the sunny roof terrace after a day out was delightful! Food and wine were also excellent!
Being an absolute coffee addict, I'd have loved the opportunity to make a coffee in the room before breakfast but there was plenty on offer at breakfast!
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of The Grand Riad. We also appreciate your feedback about having coffee in the room and will consider it for future improvements. Thanks again for your lovely review :)

Verified reviewWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this accommodation. It is a beautiful riad, well located from the city centre. Safe neighborhood in between the locals. You're able to swim downstairs and sunbathe upstairs. Proper hygiene, the room and all the communal places were spotless. Not only the riad left a good impression but the staff made the stay much more amazing. We cannot thank the staff enough for all the tips and care! We recommend this riad. Shokran!
The wifi connection was sometimes weak.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing. They couldn't do enough to help. Even brought us a packet of cards to play with one evening when we were having drinks on the roof terrace. The Riad was beautifully restored. So clean and tidy. Breakfast included fresh orange juice, tea or coffee, home cooked pancakes, homemade yogurt with fruit and a selection of preserves.
The bathroom was a little small compared to the size of the bedroom.
Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to welcome you and your family to our Riad. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again soon :)
