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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IrelandBreakfast could be more varied as was exact same every day but was fine for us as we don’t eat that much in the morning. Also rooms could do with a little fridge just to keep water/drinks cold.
Staff were so helpful and friendly. Rooms were so cosy and really clean. Location was excellent.

SpainJust to mention something, the bathroom in our room had the walls open at the top, so it might be a bit uncomfortable sometimes. But it was absolutely fine for us.
When you walk around the narrow streets in Marrakesh, you don't imagine these beautiful hidden gems are there... a lovely and well decorated Riad, quiet and peaceful. The breakfast at the rooftop was very nice, enjoying the sunrise and tranquility at this time of the day. The room had a very good size, also beautifully decorated and with a balcony. Also the location was perfect, not far from the city centre, but also with nice streets close by, full of local shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!

IrelandThe staff at the Riad are very welcoming and attentive, in particular Adil and Hamzar. They organised our airport transfer to and from the Riad which I would recommend future guests avail of this service. The Riad itself is in a perfect location, a safe area and walking distance to a lot of the main tourist attractions. Our room was clean and exactly how it looks online. I would recommend Riad dar Balthazar to anyone looking to experience a Riad in Marrakech, great value for money.

MoroccoThe room lacked air conditioning, which made it quite hot during our stay. Being on the ground floor, privacy was also a concern as opening the windows allowed people outside to see in
The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to Jamaa el Fna and other major attractions. The Riad offers a cozy atmosphere, and the rooftop is a great spot to relax and enjoy meals

CanadaThe concept of staying in a Riad was new for me and I think one should experience it . Though it was in the middle of the old town it had complete silence and you wouldn't hear any noise what so ever . The roof top balcony was very charming .
