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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNo fridge in rooms. It would be good to put mini fridges in the rooms as it’s a super hot country. Kitchen is also not accessible as it gets locked after breakfast. A proper door in the jack n Jill toilet will be good instead of a shower curtain. The smell and sounds from the toilet is very entertaining 😂😂
Beautiful villa. We booked family room with entwined rooms. Nice decor. Tasty breakfast with good variety switched up daily. Cakes, pancakes. French toast, omelettes, yoghurts, fruits. Pool area was amazing we spent all day there. Good communication from the host

PortugalThe shower lacked power and there are no tea or coffee making facilities or any additional drinking water available except that offered on arrival which we really missed. The rooms were quite noisy unfortunately, you hear other guests especially the doors so we didn’t sleep well, however, I think this is quite typical of local Riads. Bring ear plugs and you will be fine.
A nice traditional Riad with character away from the busy centre but easily walkable with a lovely breakfast

United KingdomOur only issue with the property was the lack of windows in our room - everyone else seemed to have a balcony/ window but unfortunately we didn’t have one of those rooms. Beautiful stay though nevertheless.
The property was beautiful and was full of Moroccan charm! The pool was freezing at this time of year but clean and good for a cold plunge :) the room itself was beautiful and cleaned daily with fresh towels & toilet roll. The breakfast provided was very nice & the staff were helpful and very welcoming. My personal favourite thing about Dar Al Walidine was the resident pup, Samba, who was also very friendly and lovely.

Very tranquil being just outside the medina and lovely pool area. Staff were extremely lovely - especially Mustapha - who made our stay. Breakfast was lovely and best Moroccan tea we had!

SwitzerlandClose to the Medina, but still far from the areas of interest. Lacking a few equipment in the room (hairdryer,...). The toilet in the bedroom was not giving enough privacy.
Great environment, the riad is rather small making you feel close to the other guests while allowing enough privacy. Very kind staff making you feel like home.

United KingdomOur room had stunning views across to the Atlas mountains. Unfortunately the area almost directly outside the grounds of the riad is the equivalent of a "landfill". This is very obviously a council problem, and needs to be addressed for the sake of the locals. We left early {4.00 am} on the day of our departure. A taxi had been arranged by Yasmine at the riad, but did not turn up. Once again Mustaffa came to our rescue, helping us with baggage so that a private taxi could be waved down on the main road 5mins walk. from the riad. Disaster averted!
Dar Al Waladine offers a much needed sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The riad is well laid out with fantastic decor and good facilities. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Mustaffa was an absolute star, helping us with issues beyond his responsibility with courtesy & politeness. The swimming pool was kept immaculately clean.

South AfricaBreakfast was unimpressive. I did not receive breakfast on my last day as I had to check out early to catch my flight. The rooms were incredibly noisy, I didn’t sleep well once during my stay. The rooms were not clean. The location of the property was not good. I was told that a taxi had been organised to take me to the train station and it never arrived. I was also charged exorbitantly for these transfers.

ItalyUnluckily, there were way too many issues. Every day something came up, which made our stay feel very bad. The staff was nonexistent, it was truly hard to find or to contact any of the staff for help or to ask questions. Starting from the breakfast, it starts purposely way late in the morning, so people do not get it because they have excursions to do. We had only 1 toilet paper roll, which was not replaced daily, and again no one to get in touch to get it. The daily room cleaning was done. Now the WORST part, after we specifically asked for new towels, we found out at the end of the day, that they just rolled the once we already used! It was shocking, there was the same make-up stain that my girlfriend did the day before. There was no fridge in the room as well. The area where the building is located is in a 3rd world zone, you cannot walk, and you must take a taxi every single time. Other than that, the prices for the accommodation were way higher than the things offered. There are no services, and the ones offered, are literally 10 times more expensive than every other provider in the city.
The style of the accomodation was nice, both inside and outside.

AustriaThe location is very bad - looking at the city map the impression is that it is close to the Medina. In fact, you can walk from the touristic part of the Medina within ca. 30 min. but you have to cross very poor, stinky and unpleasant areas of the Medina; after the 2nd day of our stay we were coming back to the hotel by taxi. The hotel is a family owned business and the management is very weak. There is no reception, when you need some support you don‘t get it. Several days we did not see anybody from the staff except for the ladies servicing the breakfast; the prices offered by the hotel for taxi are double compared to other providers, e.g. booking.com; when available, the owners were not very guest friendly and even provided misleading information - e.g. when leaving the hotel we were asking about additional due payments and we got the information that everything is settled; 3 hours later when our son was leaving, he was asked to pay some still due amounts. In terms of cleanliness there is definitely room for improvement - e.g. we found clothes belonging to previous guests in one of the drawers. The furniture is good but not well maintained - drawers not opening or falling apart, etc.
The only thing we liked was the breakfast and the very kind service of the staff servicing it. Unfortunately, despite the fact, that the breakfast is included in the price, we got it only 3 times (out of 7) as it was served only after 8.30 -9.00 - so you either have breakfast or some other program for the day. There is even no coffee offered before 8.30.
