How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewProperty is away from the main tourist area. Lovely quiet Riad. Staff were excellent and super helpful.
Wifi was a bit patchy

Verified reviewIt’s a nice cozy space with a beautiful terrace, walking distance from some of the main attractions.
While booking it says “mini bar included” but we didn’t have any mini bar, not even drinking water, had to buy from near by shop. We also had to pay 100MDH as “tourist tax” which wasn’t mentioned while booking. Otherwise the stay was fine.

Verified reviewRiad Merstane was a truly beautiful stay. Something so noticeable was how quickly it felt like home. Rachid’s casual and caring attitude combined with a high standard of service made for such a warm experience. All of the staff were brilliant - with a special mention to Mohamed the night guardian, who made us feel so safe and welcome throughout our stay, as well as providing friendly chats. Rachid also gave us some great recommendations of things to do in town. The room was gorgeous, spacious yet cosy with a traditional feel, and clean. The riad itself is a stunning example, a true oasis in the chaos of the medina. I wish I could be having a delicious breakfast there every morning. The interiors have such a homely feel, after a while it’s like you’re staying in a distant family member’s place. Well located around a 20 minute walk through the souks to the main square. We loved staying here and you will too!
AC in the room could have been a little better for the hotter nights. Bit tricky to find, make sure you call them when you’re nearby!

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly, nice accomodation, very clean! Around 15-30 minutes from main places Breakfast was good too
We arrived at night time, was really hard to find it! We lost like one hour tried to find the place! It’s safe, but if you dont know where to go, you can feel scary once the streets are dark.. They could put more signs on the streets or provide better intructions

Verified reviewThe staff was very kind and helpful. The rooms were nice and quite spacious. The bathrooms were some of the nicest we've had since arriving in Morocco. The common area and terrace of the riad were lovely.
The location was a bit rough. To get to the souqs and shops we had to walk for about 10 minutes along some rougher looking streets with quite a bit of traffic. This made it a bit harrowing, getting to and from the riad when we would go out for the day. It was even worse in the evening when we'd go out for dinner and come back in the dark.
Hello, Thank you for your review, Regarding the riad location, our Riad is located in a perfect location near to the most Marrakech attractions, it’s around 10 minutes to the famous souks, secret garden and the vitamin school, and it’s only 17 minutes to the jamaa Elfna Square as well as the Majorelle garden, the area where the Riad is very quiet and peaceful and it’s a perfect place to escape Medina noise after a long day.

Verified reviewRiad Merstane was the perfect place to stay in Marrakech! Rachid was the perfect host, he couldn't do enough for us. We were collected from the airport, shown to the Riad, given a map and advice for local restaurants and sights. The Riad was beautiful with a great roof terrace and a lovely room- just a short walk into the centre of the old town. Breakfast was also fantastic. Cannot recommend Riad Merstane enough! If I visit Marrakech again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here :)
Nothing- it was great!

Verified reviewLovely Riad with a very kind and friendly host. It’s right in the Medina so feels very authentic. Not easy to find so I’d recommend a shuttle or a taxi driver who knows where it is. Overall it’s a lovely place. My only comment which isn’t a criticism is that it’s in one of the quieter slightly less touristy areas of the Medina. But that also means you’ll get so see some very authentic areas and markets.

Verified reviewAmazing host rachid and mouhammed were so helpful in guiding you around Marrakech. My fiance actually had an allergic reaction one night and mouhammed walked me the pharmacie to get her medication late at night as it’s easy to get lost in the medina. Inside hotel is also amazing with great rooftop would 100% recommend

Verified reviewThe staff was very nice and welcoming, giving us tips on how to go around the city and what to visit. The room was beautiful and clean, we had clean towels and the bed sheets were clean as well. The breakfast- exceptional! Traditional, tasty and huge ☺️ I’d just recommend to bring some shower gel and earplugs because you can easily wake up at the morning prayer call, but that’s just how it is in Morocco ☺️ We’d definitely come back
nothing!

Everything was great except for the shower. It was warm, but the pressure was very minimal. Nonetheless I would definitely go back!

Verified reviewExceeded expectations. The riad was beautiful, the staff all friendly and the room great. Area was a nice alternative to the Main medina and felt very safe despite the tunnels and quite roads!
Walls are a little thin so you can hear what’s going on in the hotel. Thankfully it was very chill and there is zero noise from roads etc
