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):
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.
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.).

Czech RepublicThe sea view is actually only from the terrace. We had an apartment in the ground floor - almost without windows. To be fair, the owner informed us immediately after booking. There is no comfortable place to sit (sofa, chair with backrest).
Location. Communication of the owner. Beds were comfortable.

United KingdomThe old charm of the building means that the centre of this property extends all the way up to the top of the building meaning you are exposed to a lot of noise from all the other properties. When I say noise, you can clearly hear others chatting and if they are louder it’s very disturbing. Unfortunately there was a lot of this throughout the night. The upstairs accommodation has some sort of water pump or heater that woke me up every time it was turned on as it was very noisy. The roof top terrace is very tired, scruffy and dangerous and it is not clear when you book that you have to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get to it. If you don’t want to use the outside space and sleep like the dead, it’s a good option in a great part of town at a good price. But, not for me!
The property was well located for all the main attractions. There was a old world charm to the property and the facilities were good. The wifi was very good. The property is good value for money.

United KingdomUnfortunately, there was occasionally a very unpleasant sewage odour coming from the shower drain in the bathroom. The big pillows were also very firm and not ideal for sleeping on, but the sleeping pillows alone were not thick enough. The cases on the big pillows did not seem they had been washed since the last visitors as they served more as decorative pillows.
Excellent location in the middle of the medina, but down a quiet street so was not too loud or busy. It was a beautiful apartment, and a very nice bright space! Lovely kitchen space too. Very comfy bed, and the view from the communal terrace space was outstanding. Very easy check in and checking out with very flexible hours which was much appreciated.

Apartment looking at the tiny street in medina It is cosy and clean We cooked, but it was not convinent. You do get access to the roof terrace, but it is not exclusively yours The view is not that great, especially on a foggy morning. Don't take sea view as the main reason to stay here. We parked for free near Bab Marrakesh along Av. de l'Hôpital It was convienent to stay connected via WhatsApp

SpainWell We didn’t like that the terrace wasn’t prepared to be seated at , the apartment mentioned with sea view but the table and seats were in bad condition and we couldn’t sit for a longer time enjoying the view ( the views were amazing ) The weather was hot during the day to take a nap and during the night is humid if you close the window and there’s no Fan or AC
First of all Aziza helped us with fast an professional communication before arrival and booked a parking for us because we arrived during the festival of Gnawa , also helped with restaurants recommendation And offered to leave our bags in the Apartement after check out time The apartment was sunny and lovely simple decor Hats off to the person who choose the carpet 😍 The location was amazing ( close to everywhere ) and you can hear the waves in the early morning when the city is quiet

United KingdomWe had to wash everything we wanted to use in the kitchen before we could use it. Had to make our own bed. The sea view is not from the apartment, it's on the roof of the same building up several flights of stairs (we didn't mind this but some might, it's disingenuous).
The location is great, just inside the Medina, a few minutes from great restaurants. Value-wise, it's a good option too. Two bed apartment for the price / location tough to match. The lady whose number we had was very responsive. Brought a new kettle within minutes when we needed it. Very friendly and professional.

AustraliaThe apartment is modest and same as the photos. The only thing not specified in the description is that the dining room is located in a ""common area"" where the other rooms overlook - being in the heart of the riad.

Czech RepublicI really don't like the name of this accommodation is ' home with the sea view'. There is no view, hardly any window. The only view is when you climb up narrow staircase to the roof, where there is a tiny terrace, not in any way comfortable for having breakfast, so the photo is also very misleading. My room has a bathroom outside which I do not appreciate either for the money. It is in the corridor to the terrace where other people go up and it is a bit smelly. The standard of the place is ☆☆☆
I received good info how to get there and the owner was waiting for me at the door. Good location in the middle of the medina. Quiet, simple, clean room.
