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 KingdomThere could be more brighter lights in the bathroom.
The atmosphere is amazing especially when you enter the riad with the amazing aroma. The rooms and bathrooms are great and very comfortable size. The traditional riad gives you a taste of the traditional Moroccan homes with great service.

GermanyRiad Livia is a very charming home in the middle of the Medina. The location was perfect for us, as it is located where a the locals stay, so you get a perfect impression about the authentic life in the middle of Marrakech. To reach the Riad you have to walk a small little road ( at night maybe a bit dark at the beginning, but you will get used to it ). This little road is basically used from the people living there and some motorbikes, like all over in the Medina.. so you will get the true authentic feeling of what the Medina in Marrakech is like. We love that! Once you enter the absolutely nicely and with a lot of love decorated Riad, you will have a lovely cinnamon smell in your nose, your eyes will turn around and start to discover all this pretty little things around accompanied by some lovely vibes either in form of the water spring or of suitable music from the background. The staff is absolut wonderful. Communication before arrival was very friendly, helpful and always quick and all the very kind assistance of the most wonderful guy being there all the time ( sorry I forgot your name 🙈 ) was incredible. Thank you sooo much for making our stay at Livia a most wonderful one! Well, our room was spacious, everything was just like on the photos, sparkles clean, and we felt very comfortable. The Riad itself, like I mentioned before, was very nice, especially the rooftop area with the littles plans pool... It is wonderful to spend some time up there to start the day with a fresh made breakfast while sitting in the sun and hearing the birds sing. Also it is a wonderful place if you come back from a long day trip walking and discovering the Medina to relax a while and get refreshed for the evening. Or for watching the set-set with a nice drink... All was perfect. We loved Marrakech and we loved Riad Livia😍. The lovely guy, which's name I forgot, added so much kindness, help and information that it was a most unforgettable time for my daughter & myself

NetherlandsYou would struggle to find a better Riad in all of Marrakech! The attentiveness of the staff was amazing, felt like we were their personal guests and with only 5 rooms you feel as though you have your own home away from home. The interior design is very well done, feels very fancy and clean. What a fantastic oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below

If you are into art and design you will love. They also have their own products so when you arrive you are blessed with the most incredible smells . It was the comfiest bed in morocco also . So boujee in a Moroccan way . I had a dunk in the rooftop pool for a morning and it was amazing and cooled me down . It was always like we had the entire building to ourselves

United KingdomTo walk from the Riad for the first time to the main square or to wherever you want to go to, you need a guide or very specific directions, as you cannot trust the intentions of every stranger who offers to help you and it is all too easy to get lost, even if you normally have a good sense of direction. Signs, maps (whether on paper or online) and GPS are not always as helpful or reliable as you might hope or expect. Believe me!
Riad Livia arranged for a taxi to collect us at the airport and take us to the Place Sidi Ayoub, the closest a car can get to the Riad. We walked through an arch with the sign 'Livia' above it, went on for a few yards, turned left and then right and continued along the narrow passageway past cats and kittens until we reached the door to the Riad, 100 yards or so along on the right. The Riad is just as beautiful as it appears in the photographs. It is in a quiet area, the silence broken only by the tweets of the birds in the shrubs and open areas on the terraces on the top two floors. Mohammed and Abdulafid, our hosts, were always patient and friendly. Breakfast was a pleasant experience. The plunge pool at the top of the building was small but a welcome place in which to relax and unwind after a hot and dusty day in the medina. Triple Room Ciel (Room 5) had plenty of room for a couple and has a splendidly large shower room, but I think three people holidaying together might find it cramped.

AustraliaNothing really. I suppose the breakfast was too generous for us to always finish? One time my egg could have been a little softer... see?
Our hosts and the Riad were gorgeous. It was an exceptional oasis of calm for our forays into the mind-boggling chaos and colour of the medina.

SpainThe best place we've ever been and the best hosts we've ever met. Our room was incredible, very clean and totally provided: hair dryer, fast wifi, water, towels, shampoo... Also add that beds were comfortable and breakfast was very tasty. We met Mohammed, he gave us tradicional tea and some advices to visit the city, then we met "Hafid", (too complicated his name), he was as charming as Rive, we had tea getting to know him and talking about all our experiences, learning a lot of words and things about our different cultures, we really loved spending time with him making jokes, we need to keep in contact and repeat. Also they help us with the transport to the airport during night and print us our boarding cards, all right. We have to thank them their kindness. Definetly there's some magic in this riad. MUCHAS GRACIAS!! 🥰
