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 KingdomLatifa is great! So welcoming and friendly, lovely lady! The whole Team was really nice. The atmosphere is traditional so you can feel the Moroccan vibes. The location is good as well - 15 minutes from most of places that we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend it.

Romania-
we really liked the decor and the location of the Riad. the room is nice and comfortable , wifi works very well, simple and tasty breakfast, terrace upstairs where you can sit and have a drink. Latifa is very friendly, helpful and she makes our stay very pleasant. We extended by one more night because we liked the Riad and the city of Marrakech.

Canada- the beds are typical Moroccan firm but the added pillows were a nice touch - everything else was great
- loved the location which is central to many sights in Marrakech. we walked everywhere - loved that it’s on a side alley away from the noise of the main streets - loved the live-in host Latifa who only spoke French but we communicated fine as she must understand some English - the room was spacious and we were on the main floor so we had easy access to the courtyard which was bright. no windows to the outside tho which is common in the Medina. only windows to the courtyard. - loved the rooftop terrace and the cats - there’s a large fridge for guests to share next to the terrace too - breakfast was good and served a bit early when we needed to leave for excursions - good wifi everywhere

United KingdomThe property is perfect for those who are looking for an accommodation with a Moroccan vibe or feel. The hosts, Latifa and Nabil, are very hospitable and they make sure that you are comfortable in your stay. The breakfast is excellent. Tours can also be booked through them. I’d definitely book the property again if I ever return to Marrakech. It’s in the heart of Medina, but getting lost is actually part of the experience.

United StatesI can’t really think of anything I didn’t like!
Everything! Location (walkable to SO much), breakfast!, attentive/caring host/staff, value for cost, excellent/functioning air conditioning, solid WiFi, nice bathroom, rooftop terrace and indoor main floor room, communal fridge to keep your beverages and foods cold (even alcohol, no judgement), charming old world style everywhere, non-smoking rooms and interior but you can smoke on the roof top, airport transfers available upon request (€15 either direction as of June 2022), host can arrange excursions and private tours- I got a half day tour of Marrakesh with my own guide (absolutely awesome), I also joined an all day excursion to Ourikos in the base of the Atlas Mountains (interesting and educational- bring good shoes for the waterfall hike). I’m highly recommending Riad Sesame to any and all independent travellers who want a great place to stay in Marrakesh!

United Statesthe courtyard was beautiful and relaxing. it was very clean and quiet. Latifa is the absolute best. she took care of me and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. She checked in on me in the morning and evening to ensure I was ok and see if I had any questions. She asked if I needed my room cleaned, made breakfast every morning, taught me a little friends and Arabic, let me pet the cat, and was just the absolute best.

United KingdomI didn't like was that the drain in the shower cubicle was small and the water took some time to drain away after having a shower. There could have been more variety in the breakfast.
The location of this riad is in the medina and is close to the main square. There are lots of shops, restaurant and a supermarket that was nearby. There was also a large mosque and a small taxi rank within walking distance from the riad. The room and the bathroom was also clean. The staff were helpful.
