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.).

NetherlandsI liked everything
Fantastic place, both the space and the people. The Riad is very intimate which is perfect if you want to actually talk to local people and limit your exposure to too many tourists, and retreat in a place of serenity away from the sounds of the Medina. Very tasteful place, and it’s clear that it is cared for. The breakfast of Hamina is fantastic, I was looking forward to it every morning. It will be my go-to place for Marrakech.

United StatesThe property wasn't easy to find and the immediate area seemed a bit sketchy. I didn't feel comfortable coming and going by myself.
Hospitality was truly excellent. Upon arrival, which was early, staff immediately served mint tea and a snack and hauled luggage to the room which was up a floor. Day manager arranged a special tour of the Medina with Mubarak, who was extraordinary. Night manager handled all requests. She was still there at checkout the next morning and personally took me and luggage to a taxi several blocks away. This remarkable young woman was completing her undergraduate degree in physics while working overnight. Included breakfast was ample and tasty.

The Riad was at the heart of the Medina but still in a calm and quiet street. Zakaria, Yasmine and Mariam were all incredibly kind and accommodating and the rooms were equipped with everything needed. I will definitely be back here for my next trip to Marrakech.

Beautiful little Riad with a great location. A short walk from the main square but in a very quiet area. Very friendly and accommodating staff, I had some great chats with the manager at the front desk. They even prepared a to-go breakfast for me since I had to leave early for my desert tour. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Lovely small Riad a few steps away from the square. Very calm, quiet and peaceful. The room was tiny but cosy, very comfortable bed. Good breakfast on the rooftop. I also took a massage which was super relaxing. I would definitely recommend to stay in Riad la Cigale.

United KingdomThis quaint little riad really exceeded my expectations. It was s pretty and peaceful despite being so close to the chaotic medina. My single room was still very spacious and had everything I needed. And a special mention for the staff who went out their way to help me on my last day when I became unwell. I highly recommend La Cigale.

HungaryIt was just unusual that we didn`t get a key, so every time after 10 we had to text someone to open the main door. Otherwise it was all good.
The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were clean and the whole riad experience was unique. Also the staff always tried to adjust to our schedule when we needed breakfast or something.

The most beautiful riad! Incredibly comfortable bed, beautifully decorated. Breakfast was amazing. We were greeted on arrival with tea and water and a help sheet about Marrakech which was excellent for those visiting for their first time. Brilliantly located although do not follow Google maps to find the riad! Follow the instructions! (We absolutely got lost). Staff were incredible and so helpful. We can thank Yasmon enough for all her help!

CanadaJust as little noisy when other guests come home at night - only noticed because I go To bed super early!
The staff is amazing, the bed super comfortable, and all facilities were clean. The terrace is gorgeous! A little peaceful oasis. It’s a bit tricky to find the entrance the first time - if a staff offers assistance, take it! No issues after that first time.

ItalyEverything was fine.
What I appreciated most during my stay at Riad La Cigale was the dedicated staff—Nael, Yassmine, and Roqaya. Their incredibly warm and friendly hospitality was truly remarkable, going out of their way to ensure my comfort. The Riad itself is a true gem: it is very clean, quiet, and ideally located in the vibrant heart of the Medina. Each morning brought a fantastic breakfast that added to the experience. I highly recommend this riad for an authentic stay in Marrakech.

United KingdomGreat location, staff friendly and helpful prior to arrival and during our stay. Met at the airport on time and taken to the Medina, then walked across the square by a member of staff to the Riad. If you've not been to Marrakech before I'd recommend being met until you can get your bearings. It cost 20euro roughly double the price of a taxi (100 diram) but worth it. Breakfast was lovely and served with a smile. Room was ideal, comfortable, clean and tidied daily. May have been nice to have the option of a hot drink either kettle in room or basic drinks menu in communal areas. On arrival gave good advice and tips about the local area. No issues on check in or check out. Really appreciated being able to store our luggage at the accommodation on day of departure while waiting for an evening flight. Made to feel welcome throughout our stay.
