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 KingdomRiad itself was beautiful, beds were comfortable and staff super friendly. Located just far enough so it's not too loud but still within walkable distance to the main tourist attractions. I personally really enjoyed the walk to the souks as it gave me an opportunity to see another side of Marrekesh, outside the tourist areas. We booked dinner for the first night which was delicious & hassle free after landing and having to queue 1.5 hours to clear customs. (The bottle of wine doubled the cost of dinner so I would suggest sticking to the soft drinks)

United KingdomWonderful stay. The riad is beautiful, clean, and quiet, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The pool area is a lovely haven from the heat. The dinner at the restaurant is absolutely delicious - the best food we ate in Morocco so we ate at the riad twice and highly recommend!

United KingdomLocation is around a 20minute walk from medina but we knew this when we booked and equally it was nice to be a bit away from the busyness. This would not stop us from returning as I believe this is well reflected in the price.
Extremely friendly staff, excellent tasty food (breakfast and dinner), nice and clean, comfortable bed and generally a lovely atmosphere.

SpainOn arrival we were a bit shocked by the area that the hotel was in, but in the end that was our nievety as we had never been to Morocco before. It felt a bit intimidating at first but within the first day we found the locals very warm and friendly, lovely people.
The staff were very welcoming and attentive at all times. The evening meal we had was excellent value for money, very authentic and full of flavour. The breakfast was a little limited but good quality and taste, ideal for the day ahead.

United KingdomThe Riad was perfectly peaceful and calming to enjoy our evenings away from the city noise. Our room was beautiful with a touch to Morrocan architecture and only 20 mins to the Souk. One of us was ill and the staff made sure to provide any medication, hot water etc needed. The dinner was delicious, one of the best lamb tagines we had tasted. We decided to eat at the Riad itself over and over again. The best part was the roof top with chairs to sum bathe in, watch the mountains or simply immerse in terrace views.

United KingdomThe only thing was the showers water temperature. We did have hot water but I didn't last for long. I'm used to a long hot shower. It wasn't a big deal as you can still have a hot shower just make it quick.
The hospitality was amazing from the moment we met our transfer (organised by the riad) to the moment we were checked out!

IcelandI would not mention anything disliking. The location is worth mentioning, with the Riad located in the outskirts of the Medina so you would walk through many different neighborhoods to get to the center of the Medina (unless ordering a taxi). But that was a part of the experience for us, to enjoy the culture and explore the local traditions :)
The breakfast was very nice and the service excellent! We had dinner at the Riad twice during our stay and really enjoyed the service, the atmosphere and the traditional Moroccan food. The service mentality of our hosts was top class and we would recommend the stay to our closest friends.

United KingdomThe doors of the rooms have holes in them which you can see through. We were on the ground floor we could see staff members walking around when the door was closed. If we could see them that means they could also possibly see us . Say if one was changing their clothes …. When mentioned to the staff members this was completely disregarded. Also one of the staff members tried tipping if off on one of the excursions he was charging double to any of the companies which charge half that price within t the market.
The property is beautiful. Looked absolutely amazing in all the photos and all. The staff members were polite. I truly enjoyed all the photos and memories I made at this hotel.

FranceNothing not to like, but I would say if you’re in a rush to get out or check out when you’re leaving, plan your showers as the shower in our room needed 15mins or so to ‘recharge’ once one of us had used it for 10mins, so just something to be aware of if you have dinner reservations for example.
What a wonderful find! The streets on the way there aren’t much to look at and when you first pull up you might wonder what you’re getting into but once you’re in and you close the doors this is such a beautiful place to stay! Clean, welcoming and so quiet considering the other side of the walls is the street hustle and bustle! We used the airport transfer they offer for both airport journeys so didn’t have to worry about taxis. The staff were so attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Having only 9 rooms means everything seemed very personal and we were always greeted with a smile and a hello. Breakfast was freshly cooked each morning (there was no choice of menu but it was still good), tea coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice too. We had dinner there one evening and the food was incredible, the chicken and lamb tajines come highly recommended! Rooftop terrace where the staff would come up to check whether you needed anything. Yes you can get beer/alcohol here (I know not all the Riads offer it). The room itself was spacious and clean, very traditional but still had modern comforts. Some people might find the location a little out the way but for us it was no problem, once you done the walk once (15/20mins to the main square) you could find your way easily. Yes you do have to walk down some side streets and you have plenty of locals to go past but we were barely pestered or spoken to, maybe a couple of times across all the times we went back and forward. I also had the 2 hour massage and facial and it was fantastic! Overall, if you want somewhere authentic, welcoming and great value for money, try this place out, you won’t be disappointed!
