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 reviewvery friendly stuff and a nice rooftop
really smelly room, even smellier bathroom, ac wasn’t working, brown stains on the toilet and yellow stains on the bed, and totally overpriced. we booked the double room with two beds as it was the only room available. the host was very friendly. but the room was a disaster. it was very smelly and super wet air, the beds and our clothes after a day were literally wet! the bathroom didn’t have a ventilation and the smell in it nearly made me throwing up… additionally stains on the toilet. in the room the air conditioning wasn’t working so it was not possible to get fresh air into the room. furthermore on the beds were yellow and orange stains. for that i paid 155€ ~1635 dirhams, which is way to expensive for that room. i’ve stayed in many good and bad riads in marokko already but this was definitely the wors! maybe the other rooms are better, but don’t book the double room with two beds!

Verified reviewThe location…it’s in the heart of the medina, so you get an authentic vibe of the city. The riad itself is beautiful and maintained its old world charm. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely, with a view of the sea. The hosts were friendly, cheerful and always ready to help.
We were on the ground floor, so lacked natural light. It could be considered a plus, as it was 36 degrees.

Verified reviewWe liked being in the Medina. It was exactly how we envisioned a Riad. And the staff made us feel at home. 100% for the owner who arranged a trip for us.
A bit confusing to find the Riad- take only light luggage through the Medina.

Verified reviewThe only 2 bed comments I have to make is that our bathroom smelled really bad so that we had to leave the door open to even be able to go in. Our door to the room didn’t really lock I mean the gab in between as so big that locking it was really just for the sake of it.

Verified reviewThe room very decent. Very Average. Not the best of the beds. Its great if you are spending the days outside and mostly come to the room to crash. Good for 2 - 3 days. We had a situation where we couldn't get to the hotel in time for check-out. And the sweet lady that works there packed our bags neatly for us. So we are thankful for that.
