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.).

NetherlandsWe had a great time at this Riad. It's a 15 min walk to the Jemaa El-Fna square. I don't understand people's concerns about the neighbourhood. It might seem a bit unsettling at night but the neighbourhood is friendly and safe! The riad is open 24h, the amazingly friendly employee who has the nightshift helped us a lot. The room was amazing, felt really authentic and had enough space. The only thing to be mindful of in Marrakech is the fact that a lot of rooms are really noisy. The facilities are very clean and tidy. The shower feels like a mini spa that will make you feel refreshed after a long day of walking through the crowded and lively medina. The staff is super friendly, and the hospitality is great. They are really nice, relaxed and easy going. They are considered if you need to arrange things. This is a CASH only place so they said we could pay the next day. They booked a taxi to pick us up at the airport which was very nice. We booked the Merzouga 3 days 2 nights excursion with them. We paid €90 p.p. The experience was great, we could leave our suitcase behind while we were gone and they kept it perfectly safe. The departure for the tour is at 7am and they had breakfast ready for us! Our stay was amazing. I'd recommend everyone to experience it as well. Really comfortable and lovely experience.

ItalyThe staff doesn’t speak well English so it’s a pity that communication is a bit hard. The room heater didn’t work appropriately so it was cold night.
Nice riad close to the main attractions of the Medina, the breakfast with Moroccan traditional pancakes is good. Unfortunately just stayed for 1 night.

United KingdomNot much to not like, but if I was being picky, one of the showers in the bathroom had very slow drainage. Just meant that we had to wait a bit before the next person could jump in.

PortugalThe shower pressure is the only thing we thought could be better.
The Riad is beautiful and located out of the touristic bubble, in a local but safe area where you can easily walk to/from all the souks and the main square. Breakfast was delicious and Adil and his dream team made us feel welcome to use the common spaces of the Riad and to explore the city. They were very helpful and friendly and were available 24/7.

PolandThe personnel was friendly and helpful. Even when we had no chance of getting breakfast because we were leaving early the coffee was waiting for us. When we managed to have breakfast, It was really nice. There is a possibility of an airport transfer. We had arrived early, but we could leave our stuff before our room was ready. Definitely recommend!

BelgiumWeird and cold behaviour of the staff upon arrival and afterwards, whether I spoke in English or French. The shower was either dirty or moldy. Equally so, all the decorative pillows had stains once you flipped them to the other side. On our second day, the towels were changed for new ones but the shower gel wasn't filled up, they simply watered it down. After we checked in and went out to see the city, we came back to find our already unpacked stuff completely moved to another room because supposedly, one of the staff took us to the wrong room (she barely said a word other than bonjour during that entire exchange). We had a key to our room but not to the main door, which meant we once had to ring the doorbell for 15 minutes before someone finally reacted to our loud knocking.
I guess the inner yard looks pretty.

United Kingdom1. The manager was not very polite and quite controlling. Not feeling welcomed when arrived. 2. The bathroom in the room has no window, and it STINKS! Absolutely disgusting smell throughout the stay. Let alone the nasty condition of the bathroom. Visibly mouldy. 3. Its location is not the best / safest. More importantly, we waited 5minutes out on the doggy street before someone opened the door for us…! We also heard people aggressively knocking for a continuous 20minutes the second day. We don’t know if that was residents couldn’t get in or just people trying to break in. It was not very nice to experience and we texted the hotel on booking.com, they never replied. 4. As many comments mentioned, breakfast was very mid and everything was microwaved…. 5. Pool looks much smaller and you wouldn’t even wanna go in. Terrace has no view at all.

AustriaWe tried to reach the hotel for several days because we had a question. No answer. We were asked to bring a marriage certificate (it's my 9th time in Morocco and it was the first time) fortunately we had it on the phone but the guy in the hotel insisted on pritining it. As we struggled to find a copyshop he wasn't there anymore so it was all for nothing. Breakfast was the worst I ever had in Morocco. Very poor. All in all very disappointing. All the other Riads we stayed at in Marrakesh were much better.
