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...).

TaiwanHowever, there were some hiccup when it comes to communication with the hotel. The airport pickup was arranged and confirmed in advance with emails. But no show at the airport and staff was not aware of the situation when we arrived. On the day of our departure, the staff confirmed she would help get some questions answered with our next hotel and got back to me through email. That didn't happen either. Although the suite we stayed was spacious and lovely with unique architectural details, the bathroom had sewer odor. I guess that might be to do with the old structure.
We stayed at the red suite, which is very photogenic. We feel we've take back into a different era in time.

ItalyThe property has its own charm and character, which differs from other Dar or Riad in Marrakesh visited so far, the staff is well trained, we found the beds extremely hard and a persistent smell of burned wood which was not very pleasant, breakfast is average Marrakesh style we expected something more.

CanadaThe home is so large, magnificently decorated, and old that it feels somewhat cold. While it is not a big problem and a part of the charm of the place, I would not want to stay for more than one or two nights as the accommodations (while lovely) did not feel like a homey, welcoming space. This is not meant as a criticism of the Riad itself, to be clear, just as a note on atmosphere. If you're looking for the warm, homey feeling that many riads have, this one isn't that. If you're looking for a beautiful, architecturally detailed, large old mansion to serve as a backdrop for your Marrakech trip, I highly recommend booking here.
Great location and a very neat, old home. It was extremely peaceful and quiet, and the staff were kind, helpful, and accommodating. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and the dinner we ate here on one night of our stay was also quite good.

Superb Dar with amazing rooms/suites and super friendly staff. My husband, 9 year old daughter and I booked this very last minute for our last few nights in Morocco and stayed in the blue/grey two bedroom suite. The location is great - very central but amazingly quiet and tranquil once you’re inside or even on the roof terrace. We stayed in July so we’re so grateful for the aircon in the rooms! The staff were amazing - very accommodating and keen to help. We definitely recommend this place.

This accomodation is pure perfection <3 We had a pleasure to stay here couple of days and nights. Riad is so beautiful! Staff is professional, nice and helpful, whatever you need. I cannot remember all the names, but my sincere thanks to all Dar Darma crew for making our stay so exceptional :) We enjoyed also very tasteful dinner in the rooftop and relaxed by the pool and had some sun bathing. You just cannot believe how peaceful it can be inside old buzzling medina. I hope I’ll come back soon!
