Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNot a single thing.
This is a beautiful Riad in the Medina (Old Town). It is in a quiet lane away from most of the main attractions but easily walkable. Marrakech is very safe as well. The hosts Youssef and Barbara were very helpful with information prior to our visit and I would recommend booking a taxi through them to get to the Riad. The rooms are compact but more than enough room for a short stay with a great bathroom and shower. The room is cleaned every day with fresh towels. There is plenty of seating in each floor and a nice rooftop terrace. The biggest compliment is I couldn't fault anything.

United KingdomJust to be aware the property is in a residential area which is a little more conservative,was about 5 minute walk to an ATM and about 15 minute walk to the main square which was fine for me. Might be better to get a taxi back if you are staying out at night rather than walking.
The property is stunning and immaculate,the owners here are really lovely and friendly,they also have a really cute sleepy puppy. The room was really comfortable and everything is so clean beautiful. Breakfast was served on the terrace which was lovley,the coffee was so nice. The owners are really helpfull too and were happy for me to keep my luggage there after I checked out and helped arrange a taxi to the airport for me.

SwedenWould 100% recommend. Host Youseff was amazing, welcoming and helping us with everything. From serving beautiful breakfasts on the roof terrace, to ordering us cabs when we needed it most - always with a smile! Great typical riad in the heart of Marrakesh on a calm back alley. Easy and walkable everywhere in the city.

Everything! It's quite simply, Incredible. Youssef was like a brother to me, someone who helped me from the moment I arrived. Both Barbara and Yousseff worked so hard to make sure that every little detail was taken care of so that I could simply enjoy the delights of the Riad and Marrakech. Also, the breakfast - Wow!!! Thanks so much Barbara and Yousseff for making my trip to Marrakech and your amazing Riad an experience that I will remember forever. You are amazing people and I feel very lucky and humbled to have met you both. I can't wait to return with my wife. All the best, The Marrakech Marathon Olympian

GermanyOur stay at this Riad was nothing short of perfect. The place is even more stunning in person, with a truly charming and cozy ambiance. Everything was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was outstanding, leaving absolutely nothing to be desired. The location is ideal – everything is within walking distance, making it the perfect base to explore Marrakech. The host was one of the best we’ve ever encountered. Super friendly, welcoming, and warm, he made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble; he was always ready to help with anything we needed. We were celebrating a birthday during our stay, and to our surprise, they even prepared a small cake for us – such a thoughtful touch! Honestly, I cannot recommend this Riad enough. It was an exceptional experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Marrakech. Thank you again for everything!

United KingdomThe riad is conveniently located in a quiet street of the medina, close to the centre but away from the crowd and the noise. It is beautiful, very clean, and very comfortable room. Youssef and Barbara are so kind and attentive and go out of their way to make your stay "the perfect stay" and make you feel at home. They helped me on every question I had from getting a local sim card to tips to visit Marrakech. They serve a delicious breakfast, all freshly made. I also had dinner at the riad, deliciously home cooked meal. Highly recommended.

BelgiumEverything was perfect.
Both hosts Barbara and Yussouf were very kind and helpful. The place is very clean and quite. There is daily cleaning service. The facility is beautiful and very autentic. The owner thought of every single detail in the room and in the whole Riad. Breakfast is delicious, every day it is slightly different. I would suggest maybe something salty like an egg, just to add some protein. It's in Medina with 15mins walk from Souk and with roughly 25 mins walking from the main Square. Thank you to both hosts for making our stay so beautiful.

Breakfast is absolutely delicious on their magnificent sunny terrace (birds chirping galore). There is nothing more I could have asked for from our stay! Thank you so much Riad Dar Barbi.

United StatesNothing to add.
Our family recently stayed at Riad Dar Barbi for two days during our travels through Morocco, and it was an absolute delight. This charming Riad exceeded our expectations in cleanliness and hospitality. While some reviewers mentioned the rooms being small, we found them cozy and well-appointed, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The true gem of this Riad is its stunning courtyard. After a bustling day exploring the city, it provided a serene oasis to unwind and relax. Surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with traditional Moroccan decor, it was the perfect spot to sip mint tea and soak in the atmosphere.Additionally, the location couldn't have been more convenient. Just a short walk to the main square or a quick tuk-tuk ride away, it offered easy access to all the attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.Overall, we highly recommend Riad Dar Barbi to anyone visiting Morocco. Its combination of cleanliness, friendliness, and beautiful ambiance make it a standout choice for accommodation in Marrakech.

PeruWe were surprise that there was no door between the bedroom and the bathroom but a curtain. Even though the terrace is beautiful, we would have loved to have a view of the city.
The location was perfect because we felt safe and it was a very local neighborhood, not a touristic one. The house is beautifully decorated, tidy and clean. One can notice that they put a lot of thought into the enterior design. The environment inside the house is quiet and relaxed, we slept very well. We could hear birds every morning.
