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 KingdomI had to leave!
Quaint, spotlessly clean, fabulously comfortable beds with luxurious bedding and amazing host and staff. My group opted for the hammam and massage too which was delivered professionally and beautifully. Our host Jamal tended to every need we may have with courtesy and professionalism. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this riad.

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay here! The location was great, the riad was very clean, and Jamal and all of the other staff members were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Jamal really made us feel at ease and provided us with a map of the area. The riad was a beautiful oasis, a place of calm away from the outside chaos, and the terrace was a sun trap. We also opted for the airport transfers which really helped make our stay a stress free one. The breakfast was tasty and we would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
Lovely riad with exceptional staff who are so friendly and welcoming. Shout out to Jamal in particular as he picked us up from taxi drop off as no cars can drive into the alleys leading to the riad. Checking in he welcomed us with Moroccan mint tea and cookies. Each time we saw him, he always has a big smile and happily engages in conversation with you to ensure you are OK, checking if we need anything etc. Complimentary breakfast with the stay was Moroccan style and very good. I love that each day is not the same items so provides variety. The riad is gorgeous and the beds were comfy. Fantastic stay and would highly recommend this riad to others!

United KingdomOur entire stay was great. We had a bit of struggle looking for the Riad itself but we managed to locate it eventually. It would be helpful for the future guests if the management could put more signs telling where the Riad is so that its easy for the guests to locate it. Staff were nice and helpful too.

The location is perfect, in a quite ally away from all the noise of the city, but close to all the action. We also made use of the hot tub on the rooftop and gazed at the stars. The room was spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this riad!

FinlandThere was nothing I didn't like.
I loved everything about the riad. Our room was one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever stayed in. I slept extremely well. The location of the riad is close to souks and a short 15 minute walk to the Koutoubia Mosque. The personnel were amazingly thoughtful and kind. We did a cooking class, tried the hammam and massage. This was the full Marrakech experience!
