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 have stayed in a few, and all I can say is this Riad is something special : architecturally, imposing with its colonnades, glorious patio with pool, orange trees and fountains. Beautiful terraces with stunning views. Superbly decorated down to each individual room with their own signature names and their own decor. The staff were superb, catering for every wish and extremely attentive. Always with a smile on their face. Thank you Omar, Wafa and Abdu. The area is also fascinating: It is Authentic Medina where Moroccans still reside next to the famous mosque built for the patron saint of Marrakech, Sidi Bel Abbess. The Riad is ideally located 15 minutes walk to the new city and Jardin Majorelle and 15 minutes walk to the heartland of the Medina and the souks. I cannot recommend it more highly.

United StatesBreakfast was filling and delicious. We also purchased the dinner and it was lovely. The riad was a beautiful and quiet oasis in the chaos of the Medina. In everything, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our time in Marrakech. The private car hire to/from the airport was right on time and made for a stress free experience in finding the Riad.

The Riad is particularly well situated and a short walk into the Medina. The staff are very warm, welcoming and are more than keen to accommodate your every need. Emberiza Sahari is pleasantly decorated and most comfortable. I you want an authentic stay close to the city centre this is the place to go. Highly recommend a sojourn here; an oasis of calm in what is otherwise a frenetic city outside the Riad’a doors.

NorwayThere was no locks on the doors. The staff assures that it’s safe and yet nothing happened - you never know and can never be sure with other tourists staying at the riad. We wished also there were curtains on the windows, especially in the bathroom, but also in the room if you’re a person who likes it pitch black at night. The location, even though it’s in the old Medina, it’s not a premium location. It’s far from main attractions and at night it seems sketch.
It’s a wonderful property. The best thing is the decor, especially the beautiful patio in the middle - it’s just like the pictures or maybe even better. They always played nice piano jazzy music in the patio which gives it a nice vibe. Beds are big and very comfortable. Also it’s very quiet inside the riad, which we loved. The staff was really great! Very nice and smiling all the time.

United StatesOmar, Wafa, and Abdul are amazing! The riad itself is beautiful and beautifully maintained, but the people who care for it and its guests are incredible! Wafa's meals were absolutely delicious – sumptuous tagines and an incredible couscous meal! I'd love to take a cooking class from her! She is so sweet and kind, and she suggested and then helped us make additional tour arrangements, including our wonderful hamaam experience. Abdul met us on our arrival, prepared our early breakfasts, served us our meals, and even brought us our final glass of mint tea before our departure. He is thorough, thoughtful, and kind, and his smile is infectious! And finally, Omar ensured that every detail of our travel experience was executed perfectly, from our room, to walking tours and directions to Marrakech sights; he booked our taxis, ensured our tour guides arrived on time, served us our meals and helped us choose delicious Moroccan wines; there was no detail too small for his discerning and professional eye. His thoughtful consideration ensured that our trip went smoothly! Our stay at Riad Emberiza Sahari was wonderful.

ColombiaMy friend and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Riad. Alexandra, Omar and all the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and make the most of our short time in Marrakech. The location is perfect as it is just outside the more commercialised part of the Medina, but close enough that most attractions are no more than a 20-30min walk. We felt really at home after one day and really well looked after the whole time. Thank you for making our time in Morocco so easy and memorable!
