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...).

We were completely blown away by Dar Darma. We had initially booked a cheaper riad but changed last minute to this property and we’re so glad we did. It was worth every extra penny. The property itself is stunning down to every small detail- it’s even better than the photographs. The location is perfect for the best Marrakech has to offer. However, what makes this Riad truly special is the staff. Their service and attention to detail is beyond expectation and nothing is too much trouble for them. It was a week of total bliss and we will definitely be back.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaExceptionally beautiful venue designed with care and an eye for detail for every little corner. It felt like staying in a gallery or art history museum. Friendly, welcoming, kind, helpful, warm staff - no end to the good things we could say for them. Wonderful people! Peaceful and quiet escape from the medina. Rooftop with a pool to cool off and lots of private nooks and crannies with loungers hidden between the many beautiful plants. It felt like home!

Maria and her staff took excellent care of us. The location of the Riad is perfect for touring the Medina. Maria also helped us with restaurant reservations for our trips to the desert. Maria made us feel part of a family. See you next year!

FranceAirport transfer was severely delayed, meaning I arrived much later than I’d anticipated. I’d advise against using that service. I was also overcharged for a very average massage at 50 euro which I later discovered is way above what is a normal price for a massage at similar places. Breakfast was very average- a plate of unseasoned scramble eggs, when I asked for omelette having been given then option of scrambled or omelette. Other guests had more options which I was not offered.
Good location, nice room.

MexicoHonestly it was so scammy 25 euro for lunch ?! LOL WHAT. for chicken and salad. Do yourself a favor and walk down the street get the same thing for 60 dirham. Also I had a food delivery come for me since the food was so overpriced on location. The staff brought it to me because I am a solo female traveller and it was after dark I asked the staff member how much the delivery was he said 150 dirham. I checked the reciept after it was 105 dirham only. They also tried to charge me 100 dirham for the tax. It is only 2.50 euro. Don’t let them scam You. Double check everything. For such a high priced riad I really didn’t expect to be scammed during my stay. The staff were also not responsive to texts in a prompt manner for things like water and tea. Just overall terrible service for a riad at this price point. Nobody offered me advice or anything even when I asked some questions nobody even responded. Just would never stay here again there are nicer riads with better service for this price point.
The property itself is gorgeous, very nicely decorated although didn’t understand why a lot of the smaller mirrors were not on the wall. They looked misplaced on the floor. For larger mirrors sure but smaller mirrors a bit strange. However it was nicely decorated and smelled of jasmine.

SpainWe decided to have dinner in a restaurant ourside the Medina, for which transport was booked via the Dar Darma personnel. On our way back, the person in charge of openning the Riad fell asleep, meaning we had to wait 40 minutes deep in the night and had to encounter a couple situations that were not safe at all. We called multiple times, including the reservations team but we had no response. We had to call back our previous accomodation to try and secure a room for the night due to how bad the situation was becoming as people were aware of us being stranded.
Breakfast was very nice and well prepared.

United KingdomI found the service to be basic for a property of this type. In the room there was no fridge and the TV is very small and wasn’t working. Room service was very slow and I had to wait to get ice and drink. Breakfast was limited and on our second night we chose not to eat it. The area around the property is not great and difficult to access. The staff are fine.
The property is amazing, a real gem.

United Kingdomthe male staff was very rude and racist and we felt unsafe and uncomfortable because of his behaviour. we had to pay him for our dinner that he ordered for us on his phone the previous night since we arrived late, the next day we didn’t have cash on hand so suggested he come with us to the centre to an atm so we can pay him and leave, and he got upset and started yelling at us, I’m in extreme shock at this point. He restricted our taxi from arriving to pick us up and made us wait for so long and we only realised it later until we got on the taxi and the other driver informed us. We have recordings of his unacceptable behaviour. absolutely shocking tbh, I don’t recommend this place to anyone that wants to feel safe.
It looked beautiful, that’s the only thing good about it
