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 reviewthe owner is very nice and friendly, open to help.
the bathroom did not have a door, but a curtain. The shower and the sink were full of hair of previous tourists, the bathroom floor was very dirty. the linen of the beds were smelly and stained, a lot of dust everywhere. For the cost we paid I was expecting much better. Very very run-down.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. If you found pet hair, if the cleanliness wasn't up to standard, why didn't you complain immediately? Why did you tell the Italian tourist that the riad was beautiful, everything was great, and you were having a wonderful time? You are absolutely right when you say the owners are kind because you were the last people to have breakfast, 35 minutes late. They were kind because you took the boarding passes. Free of charge. If the riad didn't meet your needs, why did you say, upon departure, that you wanted to come back?

Verified reviewGood location, close to the souk and the Secret Garden. Fresh tea on arrival. Big breakfast. Although hard to find initially, the owner then showed me white arrows marked on the walls leading through the maze of streets back to the riad - which was helpful. Lovely old building with beautiful tiling on the walls. It does have charm!! Feels safe and tucked away. Peaceful.
Very hard to find, at first. Owner tried to overcharge me and then claimed that the Euro must have fluctuated since that morning (not plausible given she was asking for £30 more than the agreed price on booking.com!) Dirty carpets and sockets hanging out of walls - all felt a bit grimy and run down. My room was on the ground floor so was small, dark and cold at night. Breakfast was big but just lots of types of bread. Information was drip-fed/only in response to questions (eg directions to the main street, WiFi, the fact that there's actually a roof terrace...)

Verified reviewThe property was beautifully decorated in traditional way.The hosts were very friendly and caring.
You cannot reach the location by car,It was difficult with luggage and kids. There was a bad smell in the room and toilet.
Thank you for the time you took to write this review. the riad is located in the heart of the old médina . so it is not possible for the car. you called us and we showed you the way by what's up and we explained to you how to come back alone. You forgot to say two things 1 you booked for 4 people and you were 5 persons. we helped you as you were a family and we did not ask you any extra money. 2 you asked us to book another night on the riad but the room was not free.

Verified reviewI liked how cozy and comfortable the riad was. The history behind it and old photos were very interesting.
It was difficult to find, however you can call Omar and he can direct you with the phone number linked to the riad.

Verified reviewA fantastic place to stay in Marrakesh—perfectly located in the heart of the city, yet remarkably peaceful, with only the soft songs of birds to wake you in the morning. Omar and Karima pour their hearts into making every guest feel truly welcome, ensuring a stay that is comfortable and memorable. With its authentic charm and very warm hospitality, this is more than just accommodation; it’s an experience, a seamless immersion into the essence of Morocco.

Verified reviewAuthentic Riad experience hidden in the tight alleyways of the Medina. Just getting there is half the experience. Great family run Riad with the best breakfast I had in Morocco (also the best amlo) and very welcoming hosts. Almost felt like you're part of the family.
Shared bathroom might not be for everyone...personally I was aware of it, but for someone might be a deal breaker. The facilities where very clean.
