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 KingdomIt is a little noisy when there are people in the centre courtyard area, as our room was directly next to it but that can’t really be helped and we were very tired from our days exploring so it was never really an issue!
We loved our stay at Abelia Suites, the staff were amazing and so so helpful. The breakfast was very good and we even got a room upgrade to a slightly larger room which was great! The location was about a 15/20 minute walk to the main square, it is a little out of the tourist area and more in with the locals but we enjoyed that.

United KingdomI felt the breakfast was a letdown after reading such amazing reviews about it and I wish there was a bigger selection of foods to choose from but that might just be my taste! I also didn't enjoy the surrounding area of the hotel as once we left the hotel we felt unsafe and unwelcome by the locals. All taxis had to be paid with cash which turned out inconvenient most of the time so I wish there was another system for this provided by the hotel. We wished there was a cash point nearby too as the closest one was in the center and we felt this was of inconvenience which isn't the hotel's fault its just something to think about before staying here!
The staff was amazing and so attentive to all our needs. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from the center or a 100Dirham taxi which wasn't too bad and all taxis were booked conveniently by the receptionist at our hotel. Our room was cleaned and topped up every day which was lovely coming back to a clean room. The fountain in the main area of the hotel was beautiful. I would definitely recommend staying here however with a group of people or if you have traveled to Morocco before and know some of the areas already being two young female travelers we struggled with the local area, although beautiful and amazing to see! We were very happy with our stay and want to thank Ayoubl for his kindness and great hospitality and customer service.

United KingdomWe chose to eat in one evening. The cost is significantly higher (double+) than most local restaurants. Starters were good but the chicken in the tagline was tough to the point of inedibility. Desert (blancmange) was disappointing. The positive is that there are so many great, good value places to eat, for no more than £15 per head. A car to the airport is charged at €25, double the normal taxi rate, but certainly worth it on arrival so that you can find the riad!!
The staff were exceptionally helpful and keen to please. Breakfast was good, and the rooms were comfortable. As a location the Eastern Side of the old city is not the area most tourists stay, and although we enjoyed this some people might feel nervous about being away from westerners. The streets are busy, vibrant and narrow. Everything is within 30 minutes walk. We thought the price of the rooms was reasonable... Good value. We'd stay again!

IrelandINCREDIBLE SUITE! Super well decorated, super well equipped (There are air conditioning everywhere!) An office with computer and printer to work. A library with interesting books. Very nice kitchen, even if we didn't really use it. But it is well equipped for long stays. Television with hundreds of channels in all languages. But the icing on the cake is the private terrace which gives a magnificent view of the city! A perfect place to stay for a special occasion. The property is very very beautiful, Moroccan oriental decoration everywhere, it's really splendid. Special mention also to the staff! Ayoub & Mehdi are always smiling and do everything to make you feel comfortable and help you whatever the time or the request. I have never seen such nice and friendly people. We had a magical moment of relaxation in this Riad we will come back as soon as possible!

United StatesSuperb experience in this hotel - from entering to leaving. The room was large by Marrakesh standards and was extremely clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had sound sleep. There are many nearby small restaurants and shops that offer fresh, delicious take away food options that we enjoyed in the beautiful terrace. The staff at the hotel are probably the most important reason for so many nice reviews. Nothing is too much trouble and they will welcome you home like family. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great service in Marrakesh !

LatviaThere were problems with the air conditioning. Of course you can never rely on tehnical stuff, and Ayoub tried everything he could to fix them, but at the end it was winter time in Morocco and 2 degrees celsius at night so it was really cold, the conditioning worked only in 1 room, in the last day in 2 rooms. And the location the neighbourhood was quite sketchy and a little bit scary as well.
The extremely helpful staff - thanks to Ayoub!! He is the nicest person in the whole world. Helped with every problem we had, always was there in the property when we needed him, gave the city map and showed all the beautiful attractions and places to eat, he even walked us to the meeting point of the taxi on the last day to make sure we got there safely. It was really really nice. The every day cleaning was also really good, and the breakfast was really delicious and really fulling. And the apartment was bigger than expected and we didnt know we had 2 terraces!
