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.).

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is we struggled to get hot water from our shower but it wasn’t a major issue.
The riad was stunning and a lot bigger than expected, it was super clean and had a lot of lovely details that didn’t go unnoticed - the staff were so lovely and helpful. The rooms were clean and huge!

United KingdomMeals should come with water. Please also be careful of the area around the riad, on a few occassions, people told us that we were going the wrong way, led us in another direction and asked for money. Just make sure you ignore these folks.
The staff were wonderful and we felt well taken care of. The breakfast was large and contained lots of variety, we really enjoyed it. The meals we ordered were also delicious. We enjoyed the hammam and the pool the most, great experience.

SingaporeLighting in the Fez room was too dim.
Was greeted by a gentleman called Said and he gave a good overview of what to expect in Marrakech (our first time). Very welcoming and the riad is truly gorgeous. We stayed at one of the rooms on ground floor for the first 2 nights (Fez); room was rather dark with minimal lighting. But this room has got so much character; rather amazing with a cave-ish layout. The third night, we had a different room (Dharkala) with better lighting but the switches work strangely; a master light switch that turns off your bedside lamps. It has a squarish layout and very conducive for luggage and bags etc A big shoutout to Hamzah, Said and Abdul for being hospitable and helpful. Thank you for all the assistance and answering our queries. Also thank you to the housekeeping staff for keeping things clean :) Pool is great. Take photos! Breakfast is good too - cooked upon arrival. Pity we could only enjoy breakfast at the top on only one day. You can get nice wraps and shawarma + grocery shop outside of the riad area; just 3min walk. There’s also a few shops that sells souvenirs if you need to shop last minute. Prices are decent. Highly recommended place to stay.

AustraliaMy single complaint would be shower/bath in our room probably needs maintenance or an upgrade.

You get your money’s worth and more. It’s not expensive but you get clean rooms and outstanding service from the staff. Public transportation in Morocco for a tourist isn’t easy so it was really helpful that the hotel offers private car services.

United KingdomThe bathroom was dark and the shower was difficult to use as there was nothing to hold it up properly so ended up holding the shower head with one hand.
Interior was decorated beautifully - it looks just like the pictures if not better - our room was stunning and the location was good (close to the markets and shops)

United Kingdom- The set up of the triple room was a bit strange, there was no door you could shut between the living area and the room. There was no privacy in the bathroom, from the living room you can see into both the toilet and the bathtub, it works well if you are with your partner but if not its very exposed. - The room needed some maintenance, we had a loose bathroom fixture over the tub that fell in the middle of the night that left glass in the bathtub, we had to screw down some of the screws (we used our key to do this) in the door to get the door locked. The triple room just needs a quick check and fix, asides from these, the room was very comfy
The room was very spacious- we had the triple room. The staff at the reception who welcomed us was also very lovely, he gave us a good explanation and a bit of the history of the city. They also helped us with all our luggage. The breakfast was also yummy and refreshing

We love riad palais calipau. Our second time visiting. We love the large swimming pool and roof terrace which is perfect for sunbathing with a lovely cold shower right beside the loungers to cool off. The staff are always wonderful, the two guys that serve breakfast and sayeed who was always on hand for any help we needed. We also came back to visit our little cat friend matteo, he is really the heart of this riad and such a hit with all guests. Our room was beautiful and so spacious and we love the kasbah neighbourhood the riad is located in.
