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.).

NetherlandsSome points of attention; glasses and cutlery not always very clean. Cork in the wineglass and the waterpressure of the shower sometimes very low. An Egg, some cheese, and tea for breakfast would made it perfect, we missed this now.
We loved our stay at Riad Pachavana last week. 3 nights in this beautifull Riad. The driver of the Riad has waited a long time for us at the airport due to the long Passport controls, and brought us to the riad, so nice. Our room for 3 persons (Onyx) was very big and beautifull, the (much needed) airco works very good and the wifi was perfect. The very cold swimming pool was great after a warm and hot time in the city. Drinks (soda, beer, wine) was available. When we were very tired after an early flight it was no problem to eat dinner in the Riad. There are several beautifull spots where you can relax and chill in the Riad. The staff is great, very friendly and nice to us and with our boy. When we departed very early the made an early breakfast for us, very nice. The location was perfect for us, a 10 minute walk to the medina and some nice restaurants (Le Jardin, Atay Café). Pikala Bikes, for great bicycle trips are around the corner. We would recommend Riad Pachavana to everybody and we will defenitely come back. With love from the Netherlands.

United KingdomBreakfast was good but essentially mostly sweet things -- you can ask for something else but doesn't seem that there would many other choices other than the eggs maybe.
Very welcoming, responsive and accommodating staff. The place itself exceeded expectations - - lots of place to roam and relax. Hotel was fully booked and yet it felt quite and private. Location was good -- 10min walk to the heart of medina. Recommend to arrange trips with hotel as the service was excellent and safe. Quality of food and drinks was great and priced in line with restaurants in town or even slightly cheaper. Overall a truly great stay and would highly recommend.

United KingdomIn some respects, the room / property was a little run down but this, in no way, spoiled the break and if anything added to the charm! Nothing to do with the property, but if this is your first trip to Marrakesh, ensure you are at the airport PLENTY of time before your return flight. We arrived approx 2 and a half hours before our flight time and barely made it with over 15 people missing our flight! This is down to a lot of queuing for each of the security aspects. Not a problem; just something to factor in!
The Riad is beautiful. It is set within the medina and only a few hundred metres from the busy souks. However, behind the huge wooden entrance door, the property really is a haven of peace and tranquility, the perfect place to rest and recharge after visiting the incredible sights Marrakesh has to offer. It was so nice to be surrounded by bird song!There is a gentle informality about the place which is down to the fantastic staff team who make you feel like you are one of the family and that this is your home, whilst at the same time allowing you the space to relax and chill. Our room was spacious with a really nice shower room. We were on the first floor. Air conditioning worked well. Everything was very clean. The small pool is delightful. It was the perfect way to cool off during the heat of the day. (Whilst we were there, daytime temperatures got above 36 degrees!). The seating areas around the pool and on the roof top terrace allow for space to sit whatever the weather and staff were available to serve a glass of wine , beer or soft drinks when required. Breakfast was particularly lovely, served on the upstairs terrace. Khamissa and Ashraf were incredibly helpful; providing advice about places to visit, restaurants and travel information. Khamaissa is also a talented henna artist!

GermanyI have to emphasize there wasn’t something we specifically didn’t like . We had a big r ice room which had an air conditioning in the hot days which was perfect. If I have to say something it would’ve we wished to have more storage place for the clothes coz we were a family of four. N may be a tv would have been nice. But this wasn’t a big deal breaker for us anyway
The staff were the best thing about our whole stay in Marakesh. They were very accommodating, gave us tips even if how to deal with the locals , where are the places to visit etc. we came here during Ramadan and were fasting, they made sure that we have a delicious iftar every day. We can’t thank “khameesa” enough. She was amazing always attentive to every detail and was a great factor in enjoying our trip. The kids loved the little swimming pool. The place is quiet and we could reach every sightseeing we wanted like madras bin yousef, the souqs , main mosques on foot.

United KingdomThe only thing to mention is that It would have been nice to have some tea/ coffee making facilities in the room.
Recently stayed for 4 fabulous nights at the riad with my husband. Achraf was very helpful and the manager Khamissa was exceptional and gave us so much help with local knowledge and advice. She even personally decorated our bedroom for our anniversary! The room was comfortable and the breakfast was great. The weather wasn't kind to us so unfortunately we weren't able to make use of the loungers on the roof terrace but we will be back! The hairdryer broke and they replaced it straight away. Lovely toiletries and bath robes. Khamissa gave us a map and recommended an app to prevent us getting lost in the medina. It was in a great location, only 10/15 mins to the main part of the medina. They also arranged transport to and from the airport for us. We thoroughly recommend Riad Pachavava.

ItalyOur experience was really great, we arrived in the late evening and we had dinner at the Riad (previously arranged). On the first day we wanted a private tour of the Medina and even if it was last minute they were able to organize it. On the same day once the got back to the Riad we found an amazing decoration for my birthday. I recommend this property!

CanadaRoom can become a bit musty but this is similar to most riads. When showering, open the window in the bathroom so the steam doesn't enter the bedroom.
The staff were great, Khamissa was so helpful with answering questions even after our stay had ended. The place was great value for a one night stay and was close to main square, the taxi drove us nearby and someone assisted in meeting us there to help with our bags. It was where we stayed for our first night in morocco and made a great first impression. The place was clean and beds were comfortable. It was also SO quiet.

United KingdomHotel is very deceiving from outside initially. Once we entered it, it was stunning , typical Moroccan style. Manager & staff couldn't do enough for us. They gave us a map and all the information we needed to enjoy our staff. So we was very grateful.
Not knowing where the hotel was exactly located, wasn't in a desired location old town. As two females felt very vulnerable at night , going to and from the hotel. Down a dark passage , I would have never found it at nighttime. Taxi from the airport was useless, dumped us off, and said, Follow them guys they will show you. when he did, they tried to scam us for money, more than the cab fair from the airport £20, but we were not having it, told them to jog on. They said inappropriate sexual things , wasn't happy.

MoroccoYou need to pay attention to your hot water consumption, you need to wait for ~ 15 mns for the water to get warm again after it runs out. The only negative thing, when we came we received tea and the cups were dirty with clear traces of someone’s lips and wet chewed cookies on the top of cup… However during breakfast everything was clean.
The location is great, the Riad itself is beautiful and cosy. Very friendly staff.
