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.).

United KingdomMy greeting from Abdo was wonderful. I arrived a little earlier than planned and he got me some tea and made me feel very welcome. He gave me a map to explore the Medina too, which was very helpful. Mustapha took over the evening shift and served me my dinner and also breakfast. He was lovely! I must say the chicken and lemon tagine as recommended did not disappoint! Overall a fantastic stay!

AustraliaThe hot tub was very cool but needed a bit of a clean and some things weren’t working. We couldn’t get any hot water but we also probably needed to run it longer - we were only there for a night so didn’t worry about it.
The food was incredible!! Make sure you eat here, it was the best tangine we’ve had in 1 month in Morocco. We only stayed here one night but bed was comfy, and the rooftop was beautiful. Room was beautifully decorated too. It’s close to a road if you need a taxi etc

BelgiumUpon arrival the manager suggested the possibility of a special dinner in the riad, a rare occasion as it is a weekly dinner in turn with other riads. However, this ‘special’ dinner happens every other day and is not of very good quality, further there is a musician present during the dinner and he is playing until 11.30pm making is difficult for our child of 2y to sleep earlier. We asked one time the manager to fix a taxi to the city center and to was the most expensive one during our whole trip.
We enjoyed our stay,the interior is in maroccan style, Nice warm jacuzzi, very child friendly housekeepers and chef. Breakfast was really delicious, but not very extensive (no fruit, …).

CanadaTheir lovely ginger cat, born in the early years of this hotel, is ancient and affectionate (and nearly blind) -- I will be sad when he is not there.
On the edge of the Marrakech Kasbah and surrounded by old palaces and gardens, this is an understated gem of a Riad celebrating local culture and cuisine.

AustraliaLoved our stay at Riad La Porte Rouge. Made to feel welcome throughout our stay, we felt like we were taken in as family. The location is fantastic, in a small local area but only a five min walk to the touristy part of town. Thank you Mustapha and the rest of the team! Will gladly recommend this riad to all friends and family.

United KingdomToilet isn't a closed partition between the room and bathroom, although seemed to be very common in Morocco. Location gets tiring after walking to and from the centre several times. Breakfast is predominantly bread, with option to pay extra for a complete continental breakfast. Drinks are very expensive inside the riad compared to local shops.
Lovely riad on the southern fringe of Marrakesh - about a 15 minute walk to the main square. Big room with air conditioning and lovely view over the central courtyard. Facilities in the riad were great including the jacuzzi and pool. Adil was particularly helpful and recommended several restaurants.

ItalyThe airport shuttle is overpriced for sure, 22 euro each way is ridiculous. I would suggest finding your own transportation prior to arrival.
The overall experience was good, not bad not phenomenal but good. The facility was good, cleanliness was good and the hosts were helpful. The Riad is really quiet though and seems like it's not as popular as it once was, but it wasn't bad. The location is a little far from the Medina but cabs are easily found right outside. Breakfast was traditional and decent. Bonus: the Riad has an old cat named Max who is extremely friendly and cute!

United KingdomFood and drinks were quite expensive compared to local area so my mother spent a little bit more when on her own than she might have outside. Shouldn't be a problem if you eat in the Medina. Would have preferred a room on the 1st floor/terrace but perhaps this is a higher rate room than what I booked.
Nice riad with good atmosphere, friendly and really helpful staff. Very quiet at night compared to the Medina.

United KingdomThe plumbing was a little temperamental and the beds are hard but this seemed to be the case in a few riads we stayed in during the trip, so maybe it’s common in Morocco? The wall between the bathroom and bedroom doesn’t go all the way up to the ceiling, which was a little weird but wasn’t an issue as the other person would just sit in the many common areas whilst one of us was in the bathroom.
This was the first riad we stayed in upon our arrival in Morocco and it felt like stepping into another world when we came in through the doors. It was beautifully furnished and felt very authentic. It appears to be family run which is rare for Marrakech, as we were told that most of the riads are owned by foreigners. We only booked the evening before and they got in touch right away to help us organise pickup from the airport. The driver walked us to the door so we can’t comment on how easy it is to find. Mustafa was so helpful and even ran to the nearby pharmacy to help us check if it was open. They have an alcohol licence so we could enjoy beers and cocktails in the courtyard. This was a nice bonus as didn’t seem common in other riads we’ve stayed in since. The rooftop courtyard is beautiful and there was a jacuzzi which we hadn’t expected. Max the eighteen year old cat was also stalking around in all his glory and we had fun playing with him.

United KingdomThe property is simply stunning. It features amazing Morrocan interior deaign,very authentic. We woke up each day to a paradise, opening the wooden shutters and wnjoying the dexor and size of our suite. The stay felt like being home, and the staff made sure to attend to our wishes and questions,they felt like family. Transport, hamman trip, and dinner were organised smoothly. Breakfast was always sweet and not too much, but always somehow enough. Mustafa made sure to make a freah mix of juices veey early in the morning, and even when we by mistake flooded the bathroom noone made an issue of it. The property is old charm, it is not without a beoken tile or a speck if dampness, but it is to be expected in Martakesh, and adds to its unique character. Sheets were clean and we had hot water all week. Thw property offers a luxurious brand of toiletries in the shower. Dinners were made with love and we ahd a pleasure to taste some nice Morocvan wine. I will miss the old cat Max which stays at this riad. Do expect some loud invites to prayers over the courae of the day as a mosque is right on the doorstep, which is quite exhilarating. I am so very happy we chose this beautiful friendly Riad, although it meant taking expenaive taxis to the main Medina if you did not want to walk some 20 mins. Just a gorgeous stay, vwry romantic. Thank you to all the staff.

Pretty riad from where you can easily reach the airport. Also it is easy to find by yourself and there is no gang of boys waiting trying to rip you off. I had a nice suit. WiFi is fast and stabile. There is a lovely heated small pool on the roof top and a Beduin tent with a cat sleeping inside. The decor of the place is traditional and well done. There are parkings in the street close by. Do not cross the white line on the street. There is always a cop close by watching this street (hiding behind the gate). There is also good and cheap street food close by.
