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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing: we loved staying in this riad.
Being situated only five minutes walk from the main square and two minutes from our favourite Marrakech restaurant not to mention the souks and many street food options this riad's location is absolutely perfect, an elegant and spacious oasis of calm in the hectic medina. It's decor is of a high standard and is in a contemporary but still very Moroccan style. The staff were all charming and very helpful, offering all the information, help and assistance that you could require. The breakfast was in a typical Moroccan hotel style but done to a high standard and the coffee was exceptional. To begin the day in such oppulent surroundings was a delight. Proximity to a mosque and it's regular calls to prayer might be a problem for some (I'm a light sleeper) but we love the sound and thoroughly enjoy being immersed in this aspect of Moroccan life. The roof terrace offers somewhere peaceful to chill out and there are great views of the Atlas mountains (snow-capped on our March visit) on the horizon. We've been visiting Marrakech for over twenty years, always staying in the medina, and this is definitely one of best riads we've ever stayed in.

AustraliaWe stayed in the wonderful 4-bedroom house, which was honestly a magical stay. The rooms and facilities were fantastic. Location was prime, being only minutes away from the heart of the madinah and its wonderful chaos. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Hasan, who was so helpful and hardworking in getting our bags to and from our rooms. This was followed by Ayman, who gave us all the necessary information we needed for our stay. Our favourite though, the beautiful Jamileh (chef) that made our stay so extra special. Apart from her excellent breakfast/cooking each morning, her kindness was unmatched. If you get the opportunity to go to Marrakesh, I would highly recommend you stay at Riad L'Etoile D'Orient. Especially if you are a bigger group, staying in the 4-bedroom house would be the perfect stay in Marrakesh.

We got the bungalow for the couple of days we spent in Marrakech. This was a state of the art small house close to the Riad. Yakouts took care of provide us with warm food as we arrived late. Houda made us breakfast for us and made sure we had breakfast the following morning when we had to leave early to our tour. The amazing staff: Hayat, Ahibok were so lovely and hepful.

ItalyThe room is not the biggest I have seen in my past experiences, but I already knew it when I booked. I think riads in Marrakech are smaller than riads in other cities like Fez. Even though the room is small, it is functional, it does not smell, and there is a perfect working air conditioning
I liked everything about this riad. We had a great experience before departure as the communication with the staff was quick and easy (we already knew about the menu and the SPA treatments). It easy to reach since the main square is very close, so you don't have to walk a long distance with the luggage. The staff was amazing, friendly, kind, helpful, and they gave us plenty of advice about Marrakech. Dinner was amazing and delicious, and the breakfast satisfying. We also had a SPA treatment which was definitely worth it (hammam and massage)! The room is comfortable, towels are big, water is hot, there are a air dryer and a fridge, air conditioning works well. There is a jacuzzi on the top floor but we did not use it in December; the terrace is nice with tables and chairs

United KingdomThe rooms are not soundproof and you could hear people talking and their movements outside the room. Although it wasn’t an issue for us as we did not mind the noise and it did not affect us. The Riad’s are like home and you can’t expect sound proofing like hotels
The riad is located in the heart of the medina and is easily accessible to attractions nearby. The staff were very friendly throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent and perfect portion sizes. Lots of food options nearby.

United KingdomNothing major to note. Riads in general tend to be on the smaller side in size, and I normally prefer more spacious rooms.
The location is great, only few minutes away from the main square. The street is sketchy, but the riad itself is beautiful inside (normal for riads to be plain on the outside). The owners are exceptionally nice and very communicative, helpful about everything. They even woke up earlier to prepare our breakfast at 6:30 as we had a planned trip to the desert and had to leave by 7am.
