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.).

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Riad Botanica. The place is stylish and quiet and calm. The staff are great (friendly, relaxed, helpful) breakfasts on the rooftop are excellent and the location is perfect for getting around the city. I hope to be back.

Breakfast was lovely, the room was super comfy and clean and overall the Riad had a really chilled atmosphere. Angela & Mohamed were great with providing recommendations of places to eat/drink and what to do during our time in Marrakesh. Thank you for making our trip so special, we had the best time and would definitely recommend.

Amazing staff, nothing was too much trouble. The location was great, really quick to get into the souk but just outside the hustle and bustle of the Main Street so amazingly quiet. We had the family room, with a separate room with a bunk bed. Really spacious and our daughter loved the bunk bed. We ate far too much at breakfast every day, really delicious!

BelgiumThank you to Mohamed and the team for making our first visit to Marrakech unforgettable. We cannot speak highly enough about this place. The Riad is located in a very safe area, and all surrounding activities were within walking distance. Everything was thought out with a lot of attention to detail, from the beautiful sign of the taxi driver at the airport, to the daily altering Moroccan breakfast. Mohamed is such a caring and helpful man who genuinely wants his guests to have the best experience. I’ll definitely come back.

GermanyThe Riad Botanica surpassed all our expectations. This cozy and beautiful riad is centrally located in the medina, offering a tranquil oasis in the midst of bustling Marrakech. Upon our arrival, we were personally picked up from the main street and warmly welcomed. The level of service is extraordinary. We were greeted with fresh Moroccon tea and provided great recommendations for exploring Marrakech and explanations on a map where to go and what to see. The riad owner goes above and beyond, even rising early in the morning to ensure our safe departure for our day trip. We felt secure throughout our stay. The entire team is extremely friendly, professional and attentive. The riad itself is just beautiful, featuring a cozy courtyard with a pool and a breathtaking rooftop. The rooms are very pretty and fit perfectly to the colorful city of Marrakech. The interior is adorned with beauty. Each morning, we awoke to the melodies of singing birds and a beautiful orange tree grows in the middle of the courtyard. Additionally, the riad’s pleasant aroma is noteworthy. The breakfast is just delicious and we also had a delightful dinner once. We couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation and would choose Riad Botanica again for any future stays in Marrakech.

United StatesReally nothing was lacking at all
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Botanica. The attention to detail in the design and quality of everything in the Riad is top notch and made us feel like Sultans without paying a fortune. The staff are all lovely, professional, and welcoming. And they met our every need, from arranging transportation, to suggesting an out of town excursion, to answering all of our many questions about life in Marrakech and Morocco's history. I can't possibly recommend this Riad highly enough and would absolutely book again for my next visit to this magical and mysterious city. And the location within the Medina is excellent for walking and exploring, or for an easy walk outside of the Medina to get to Jardin Majorelle and Gueliz

United StatesEverything was great. I would suggest putting the slippers into rooms because the floor is a bit cold so it would be nice to have them.
It was one of the best experiences I have had in my life. They helped to organize the pickup from the train station. When we arrived, Mohamed met us where taxi dropped us off and helped to bring the suitcase. In the hotel we were welcomed with Moroccan tea and sweets. Mohamed gave us a map of Marakkesh and showed the main attractions, good places to eat, where to exchange money, some good hammams, etc. The room was clean, well decorated, very aesthetic, a lot of small but nice details. Room was cleaned daily. Breakfast was great. There was yogurt with granola and fruits followed by traditional Moroccan bread and variety of jam, cream cheese, honey, peanut butter + eggs + drinks (fresh orange juice - highly recommended, tea and coffee). Everything was fresh and cooked right before breakfast. Some more things I want to mention are all of our questions were always answered. Whatever we asked for Mohamed and the team always would help us out. For example, we wanted to wash clothes, they helped us to do it, we asked to help to get the taxi, they would help us with that etc. Thank you, Mohamed and the team. We definitely would come back and recommend this place to the friends who travels to Marakkesh.

United KingdomNothing.
It was a beautiful riad, a short walk to all the key areas in marrakech, but perfect to not be in a load location. Evening dinner on request was amazing. Breakfast each day was perfect to set you up for the day. Nothing was too much, whether it was arranging tours at the last minute or printing off boarding passes, arranging taxis, etc. We stayed in the family room, which was perfect. The deco of our room and the whole riad looked like it was from the cover of ELLE Decoration magazine. It was nice to book somewhere, where the pictures shown on Instagram, websites, and other sources were the same as when visiting the riad in person. Look forward to visiting again.

IsraelMinor thing - The space between the wall and the bed was very small
très chic! I loved it! Beautiful Riad just a bit smaller from what I expected from the pictures. The Room was irrésistible. I wish my bedroom would look like it... The rooftop and the breakfast - amazing. The staff was very very nice and helpful. I lost my suitcase on arrival. The guy at the reception recommended a mall close by. He showed us the way and stopped a taxi for us ( the only thing that this mall really have Modern Woman's clothes. If you are a woman losing your luggage, google maps for Zara)
