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.).

An oasis of calm. Superlative service and hospitality during our entire stay from the staff. The rooms were in keeping with the riad with lovely artwork adorning the walls. The breakfasts were homely with super coffee, jams and bread. The terrace is a great sunspot with great views of the city. One of our party had an unfortunate accident in the city and Ayoub was amazing in looking after her.

United StatesWe do not speak French and the owners English was only a little better than our French and there were miscommunications. An example, the owner reserved a taxi for us to catch the train in Marrakech. The porter brought our baggages to the parking lot outside the Medina but no taxi and the porter did not know what to do. I had to ran back to the riad trying to clarify the situation. It was eventually resolved but caused some delay and anxieties!
A beautiful place with nice courtyard and beautiful rooftop porch for breakfast. The owner are very friendly and helpful. The lady cooked breakfast egg and pancake for us and they were delicious. They also provided a lot of nice and fresh fruits which we did not get in other Morocco places we stayed.

United KingdomVery little to dislike except the acrid smokey smell at times think this came from kitchen downstairs.
Good location right in the medina, close to souks restaurants and the beach. Breakfast cooked to order every morning choice of pancakes, omelette boiled eggs with freshly squeezed juice, coffee, yoghurt and fruits. Very comfortable and homely riad with a spacious room large bed for two, good shower always hot water. No aircon needed as can kept large window open at night. Slept very well. Room cleaned daily. Fresh towels regularly. Beach towels provided. Free laundry service as stayed a week. Nice terrace can chill on sunloungers. Also being a cat lover, loved the three or maybe four riad cats especially the ‘wobbly cat’ she was gorgeous!
