Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing, it was perfect 👌
The whole house was very tranquil and relaxing with an excellent breakfast served on the terrace. The pool was lovely too to cool off in in the afternoon. Hassan was the most welcoming host we've ever met. He made us gorgeous mint tea when we arrived and was so helpful during our stay by recommending places to go and see. He made the whole place feel like home and we were so relaxed when we left.

United KingdomI had an amazing stay at this Riad — easily a 10/10 experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such warmth and hospitality. The Riad itself is beautiful, clean, and peaceful, with a lovely traditional design that gives you a true taste of Moroccan charm. A special mention has to go to the host, Hassan. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout my stay. Whether it was offering tips about Marrakech, making sure I was comfortable, or just checking in with a smile, Hassan went above and beyond to make me feel at home. His hospitality truly made the experience unforgettable. I would 100% recommend this Riad to anyone visiting Marrakech — not just for the beautiful setting, but for the incredible service and kindness that makes it stand out. Thank you, Hassan!

United StatesNone. It exceeded our expectations
The service is what we love the most. Special shout out to Hassan, he is the most amazing host I’ve ever met. Before we arrived at the hotel, he had been in contact with me and had arranged for transportation from airport to the riad, from the closest drop off point to the riad, since its inside the medina, he was waiting for us when we got there, helped us with our luggage and provided us directions and the recommendations on places to see, eat, and things to do. The breakfast was outstanding. The riad is sooo beautiful and clean. I loved our room. Rooftop was soo homey and has this relaxing vibe. Hassan and his staff is always smiling, friendly, and offering to help. He got us reservations to the best hammam and massage experience and also helped my boyfriend with his laundry, we were running late from dinner and had an early flight in the morning so he, without us asking, took out our clothes in the washer and hung to dry so my boyfriend can pack it in the morning. And when we were about to leave he offered to pack us breakfast and helped us again with our luggage into the van en route to our next destination. We went to Marrakesh, Merzouga, Fes, and Casablanca. Riad Darchica was our best stay in Morocco. We will definitely stay again if we ever go back to Marrakesh. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

During our stay in Marrakech, Riad Darchica truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived until we left, Hassan was an amazing host that provided us with great food and sightseeing recommendations, coordinated airport transfers, and greeted us warmly every morning. The breakfast is amazing and served as a great start to our day. Also, the rooms are comfy, and the powerful air conditioning sheltered us from the summer heat. Finally, the location cannot be beat, as it a short walk to all major museums, restaurants, and sightseeing destinations. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be staying here again in the future!

United KingdomThere wasn’t one thing I didn’t like and I’m fussy.
Absolutely beautiful Riad in an easy to find area. Hassan kindly met us after we arrived with our pre arranged taxi from the airport showing us where the souks were etc. checked in was quick and easy where we were shown a map of the area with complementary Moroccan tea and biscuits. Our room was massive and so comfortable. It was my partners 60th and Hassan had kindly written happy 60th in petals so sweet. The Riad had a beautiful rooftop where we spent every time we were back from our trips, the Riad was honestly so peaceful considering how crazy the road and souks are. Nothing was a problem to Hassan and his colleague always met with a smile and always did more than asked like we weren’t sure if it was safe at 5am to go get our balloon ride taxi and Hassan kindly escorted us to the taxi at 4.45am that was impressive and certainly the extra mile. Having the pool was great as it was hot when we were there so a great addition. The rooms were clean all the areas were spotless. We had breakfast twice and also an evening traditional meal which was lovely and so cheap too.

United KingdomThe only thing, but it is minor, is that the shower drainage was not very good in our room so the bathroom got wet if we turned the shower water pressure on too high.
Hassan the host was really friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond in terms of service and helped us with several arrangements during our stay. Thank you! The riad is beautiful, looked traditional but new, and quaint. Breakfast was good. I liked the location as it's still walkable distance to the city center and attractions but also it is not in the center of the medina and it is near a main road - this made car pick-ups and drop-offs much easier. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Marrakech! Room size was really good.

I liked everything. I would definitely recommend this place. Also to mention, I had to change my riad when i went to mountain and Hassan kept my luggage free of charge and kindly organized it to be shipped to my new riad, much appreciated Hassan 😌
