How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room was quite hot with no air, would have preferred a thicker curtain on the window as I felt it was see through when the light was on, steps to the terrace were quite difficult to navigate
Mohamed was very helpful, breakfast was good, certainly enough to set me up for the day, lovely terrace area and room large enough for one and to do some yoga on the mat

The staff were all great as was the breakfast. Other rooms are probably different but I booked a single and it was small. I found it charming as was the doorway to it, which requires stooping. Some might find that a problem. The breakfast area is beautiful and the location excellent.

This Riad is located right in the heart of The Medina and so outside it was the expected hustle and bustle of Marrakech but once inside it was cool, quiet and peaceful. the two members of staff were great answering questions and sorting out our airport transfers. definitely recommend this Riad

The roof terrace needs some refurbish, some items are quite worn and dusty. it would be nice if the management gave out a bit more and different stuff for breakfast. The location is in a side street of an extremely busy and loud road with LOTS of traffic and Fußes.
The reception of Mohamed was very good and kind. His friendly service and Information about Morocco in general was so interesting. it was much more than just 'handing out the keys'.

The facilities need a face lift as the wall paint appears fading, and we have too many red curtains, which can be changed to a brighter colour to give the room a better appearance. But in all, Samera(apologies if I get the spelling of the name wrong) and Mohammed are wonderful staff who went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thanks both. You are wonderful.

I would have liked to have been able to open a window to let some fresh air in but it wasn't a major problem. My single room was dark but again not a major problem. I also think the red paint could be replaced with a lighter colour but this is just constructive criticism. Samira was so helpful before I even arrived. Thank you!
As a solo traveller I was bit nervous. Mohammad was amazing!. He walked me at night to the ATM because I was scared to go alone at night. He showed me a map and told me where I should and shouldn't go and what scams to look out for. Breakfast is 8- 10 but he got up early to make me breakfast before my tours. Mohammad went above and beyond for me and everyone else, he made my holiday more enjoyable as he was just a text away if I needed him. I came for a holiday and gained a great friend. Samira cleaned my room and always did a great job. When I return to Morroco I will stay at those Riad again. It was really authentic and the rooftop terrace was a bonus. I would highly recommend to others looking for a Riad in Marrakesh. They booked my transfers to and feom the airport and

Our room (as well as the reception next to it) smelled like fresh paint. However the hosts were more than happy to relocate us to a different room, so it worked out really nicely.
Everything was great. Friendly hosts, great location, parking nearby, beautiful terrace.

Last but not least, Youssef was incredibly helpful and accommodating! Anything I needed whether it was breakfast, taxis or recommendations he was there.

The WiFi was not particularly good however that did not bother me!
The property was lovely and super welcoming and authentic! Youssef was always happy to help and answer any questions! The setting is down a quiet street but is still only a 15 minute walk from the main square and most of the major tourist attractions! The breakfast changes every day which is nice as it gives a good variety.
