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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaThe concept of staying in a Riad was new for me and I think one should experience it . Though it was in the middle of the old town it had complete silence and you wouldn't hear any noise what so ever . The roof top balcony was very charming .

Australia- Breakfast was disappointing compared to other breakfasts we have had in Morocco. (Coffee is cold and other things were lack lustre.) That’s the only negative.

It’s in the old Medina and a bit tricky to find at first, but once you locate the tiny door in that dark narrow street, what you will find inside is beautiful, spacious, exceedingly charming, and comfortable.

United KingdomEverything was excellent! I highly recommend this place and if I ever return to Marrakech, I will stay here again.
I spent 3 nights at Riad Dar Balthazar with a friend and it was a delightful experience. The riad is a beautiful oasis within the Medina of Marrakech. The location is just perfect to visit some of the main touristic attractions (Jeema el Fna square, the zouk, Bahia Palace, Majorelle Garden, etc.), all of them easy to reach by a short walk from the hotel. There are only 5 rooms distributed around a beautiful courtyard, spacious and nicely decorated, fitting comfortable beds and tea supplies. This riad is a quiet, peaceful and lovely place to stay while exploring Marrakech. One of the most amazing areas of the riad is the rooftop, where we enjoyed a delicious fresh breakfast every morning. I'd like to thank Adil for his attentions and valuable help. He kindly organised a guided tour for us, the return transfers (airport-hotel-airport), and gave us great recommendations about places to visit in Morocco. Merci bien Adil !! :) À très bientôt !

United StatesFYI they only take cash (euros or Dirhams) - you pay when you get to the property. The bathroom lighting was quite dark and the sinks/showers drained a little bit slowly, but never backed up.
This riad is beautiful! The owners of the riad were so welcoming and accommodating - it seemed to be family run. The riad is located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of the center of Marrakech, initially a little hard to find the path on google maps. However, it is an easy to walk to everywhere in Marrakech in less than 15-25 minutes. Our (twin) room was cleaned every day and was fairly spacious. They served a lovely authentic Moroccan breakfast every morning on the rooftop. They also arranged a 5am private transfer to the train station for our us for 20 euros (relatively expensive, but reasonable given the time of day, otherwise we would have taken a taxi on our own from a nearby taxi stand).
