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 StatesBreakfast was great. Location was close to the market. A little confusing to find the first time but easy to get to after that. Ismail was really helpful and accommodating. He made our stay memorable!

PolandAt the first time it may be hard to find among the winding streets od medina.
Riad El Maktoub is a beautiful place in the heart of Medina. The riad is small but it has everything that is necessary to spend a pleasant time in Marrakech. The nice atmosphere in the hotel is mainly due to the amazing crew, especially to Ismail. Ismail was incredibly helpful whenever we needed something and also was a great partner in conversation, thanks to him we could have learned a lot about Moroccan culture and people of this country. The meal prepared by Kamar also was very delicious. The worth mentioning is also the cleanliness of the place, which is even better than in some European country.

I have to give rave reviews about the people who work at Riad El Maktoub who were just amazing. From day 1 Anas helped us navigate the Medina to help us get to the riad. And the other guy who was there was also amazing. thanks to them both for going over and beyond to accommodate our family.

United StatesRiad El Maktoub was incredible and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech looking for a comfortable clean place near the Medina and souks! Abdel made sure we were taken care of from the moment we landed in Marrakech. He helped to arrange airport transportation for us and was available to help make any bookings or arrangements for excursions. We left at 3:30 AM for our flight out, and Abdel made us breakfast beforehand and walked us to our taxi. This was such an amazing visit!

AustriaWe had the best time at Riad El Maktoub! The Riad is very close to the main square of Marrakesh and every major historic site and awesome restaurants are easily reachable by foot. Because the Riad is a bit hard to find at first I would recommend using the airport driver as suggested by the staff of the Riad. At the Riad Abdel made sure we felt very welcome and had everything we needed and asked for. He provided some exceptional chicken Tajine on our first evening in Marrakesh and served delicious breakfast on the beautiful rooftop terrace every morning. Our room (Mauritanienne) was very nicely decorated and cozy as well although I have to say you have to be comfortable with whomever you're staying there because there's no door to the bathroom. But all the other little details and especially the staff make up for the missing door big time!

ItalyI think it would be better to have the keys of principal door since many times guests come back at late night and the ring bell might be a bit annoying but nothing that bad.
Abdel welcomed us very warmly! he helped us during the whole trip with anything we needed and he had been a great host. All the stuff was kind and friendly which is a Must for me. The position is a bit tricky, but is just one small street further the one given by maps. Very close to the Jamaa El fna and all other sites. Beautiful riad really, breakfast and dinner are tasty and really traditional. They are super helpful if you have allergies as well!!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. A real oasis away from the madness of the square, but only a few minutes away.We were greeted by big smiles and a very friendly welcome by all the staff, Abdo,Hasna and Anas. They were happy to help you with anything you might need. Very clean, comfortable and breakfast was great. We loved the roof terrace to relax in-between walks around the souks. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again one day.😃🌞

Very nice Riad in a great, very central location. Not even 10 minutes to the Square, and quiet at the same time. Also very comfortable, nice and authentic. We'd like to especially thank Younes for making us feel totally welcome and for having taken care of everything we needed.
