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.).

FranceA perfect place to relax after exploring the city. A small, comfortable, quiet hotel centered around a pretty courtyard. The staff were wonderful, especially Mohcine who was always there to offer us tea or coffee at any time of day. The breakfasts were delicious. The manager was also very helpful with daily meetings to propose a personal itinery for the day. After the hustle and bustle of Marrakech this quiet hotel was just what we needed to unwind.

GermanyThe Riad Albatoul is absolutely well managed by Ahmed and his brother Mohsen and for sure highly recommended. The Riad is in the middle of the very crowded centre but you can almost hear nothing when you’re in your room. We had a beautiful stay and I’m sure we will be back very soon.

Genuinely the best stay I have had across several Riad's on my 4th visit to Marrakesh. The hosts Ahmed and Mohcine both are absolute sweethearts and gents from exact point of arrival ultimately till departure 3 days later. Helped me purchase a sim on the night I arrived, provided everything promised and went above & beyond to cater to any / every need. They are amazing people doing an outstanding job for this Riad. They should be recognised as excellent 5****

What an amazing find! We loved everything about the riad. The location is perfect for exploring the souks and all the main tourists attractions. Considering how close it is to the centre, it is so calm and quiet- the sunset from the roof top terrace was especially beautiful. The hosts Ahmed and Mohcine were so helpful and really made the stay very comfortable. The riad itself is beautiful and the breakfast was a highlight!

ItalyAlbatoul is truly a little gem. Renovated incredibly, its true charm lies in the service and countless attentions it offers. Impeccable cleanliness, 5-star room comfort, and a private hammam on-site with top-notch massage service. Special mention to Ahmed, whose care for guests makes organizing last-minute excursions effortless. The breakfast is simply outstanding.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my stay was the camaraderie fostered among guests. Ahmed's warmth and genuine care created an atmosphere where strangers became friends. It was a joy to connect with fellow travelers, sharing stories and experiences, all thanks to the inviting ambiance Ahmed cultivated.

United KingdomI don’t often write reviews but in the case of Riad Albatoul I felt that it was deserving. It’s in an excellent position just a few minutes walk to the Djemma El-Fnaa. restaurants and places of interest. The property itself is beautifully decorated and has excellent facilities. it is truly an oasis of calm after the chaos of the souk. The breakfast is sumptuous whilst home cooked meals were tasty and far better than some of the best restaurants in the medina. What really made our trip were the amazing staff. In particular Ahmed and his brother Mohcine who were helpful and couldn’t do enough to make your stay comfortable. I would definitely visit again and can’t recommend it enough for future travellers.

United KingdomNone.
We travelled as a family and booked two rooms at Riad Albatoul, the riad exceeded our expectations! The staff is incredibly nice and helpful (big thank you to Mohcine). The rooms are very comfortable, well equipped (i.e with a safe), bathrooms are high standards (compared to other riads we have done). The breakfast is generous and delicious. We slept really well, no noise and windows are well insulated (unlike other riads). It’s a small riad and therefore we found it peaceful and quiet. We would happily come back. Location is convenient as it’s within walking distance of everything in the Medina.
