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.).

Our stay at this Riad was nothing short of exceptional. The entire place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and always filled with a pleasant scent. We were constantly in awe of its stunning architecture and timeless charm. The room was spacious and well-equipped, and waking up in the middle of the night to gaze at the intricate ceiling felt like stepping back into the era of Moroccan dynasties; absolutely breathtaking! The location is ideal; right at the entrance of the Medina; so there’s no need for a long walk to reach it. Mohamed went above and beyond to assist us with our luggage and made us feel truly at home. He shared wonderful insights about Marrakesh and the Medina, was incredibly attentive, and always greeted us with a warm, genuine smile. He was just a call away whenever we needed anything. Breakfast on the rooftop was a delight, fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to each day. I can’t recommend this Riad highly enough. If you’re heading to Marrakesh, don’t miss the chance to stay here; you won’t regret it!

Czech RepublicLeaving the riad
Amazing. The riad is located very conveniently, right at the border of the medina, easy access and authentic neighbourhoods, although very safe even late night. The rooms are very well decorated and maintained, super clean and recently renovated. Common areas are a big plus, the swimming pool, the terrace, everything is perfect. Food is excellent, both breakfast and dinner there, the best chicken Tajine we had in Marrakech. But the very best part is the staff, we have been warmly welcomed by Youssef and Mohamed, young, professional and very communicative. They were always ready to help, providing tip for the journey, helping with transport, recommending places to visit. Pleasant evening chat, kids loved them, they made us feeling home. Thank you guys, you are doing great job. Hope to see you very soon again.

United KingdomThere is absolutely nothing that I did not like about the property.
This riad was absolutely STUNNING! I have no words to describe how beautiful each detail was of the doors, sinks, bed decorations and so on. Yet it also felt homey not like a museum. The staff were so kind and took such good care of us. Also I HIGHLY recommend the breakfast and dinner at the riad! We had the best tajin (especially the beef) for dinner and it was the best dinner of our whole trip!

PolandEverything was great!
What an amazing place! If you want to stay close to the city most important attractions, but at the same time be surrounded by pure silence - that is the best option you can have! Beautiful place that gives you this great Marrakesh vibe! First of all - beautiful facility, very comfy beds and soft water what was important for me. On top of that you can have delicious breakfast at the rooftop or try traditional dinner there! If you need anything at any time - there are two amazing hosts - Mohammed and Youssef - they are fantastic hosts and very kind and helpful guys! I was looking at the reviews before and not even surprised why they have so many great reviews! Really worth to go there! ☺️

GermanyA key consideration in Marrakech is to stay inside the Medina or not, trading off comfort against nerves. This charming riad solves the problem: it is tucked away not far from Bab Doukkala gate, so you cut short walking distances to central attractions. Don't lose faith while shlepping your suitcase into the maelstrom, inside the riad an oasis of peace and quiet (and mint tea) awaits you. Our junior suite was immaculate. Breakfast is served on the splendid roof terrace. If you do drive into Marrakech, a Public Carpark ist not far from Bab Doukkala. Self appointed attendands still charge you 50 Dh per night (instead of the official 4 Dh), but get you a spot and keep an eye on things.

He went out of his way to make our stay absolutely perfect. All the staff were polite, attentive, and helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful riad. The ambiance was authentic and calming, the facilities were excellent, and the Wi-Fi worked great throughout. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the main attractions yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully served each morning. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the staff — especially Youssef, whose warmth, hospitality, and helpful guidance made us feel completely at home. Thanks to him, this has been one of the best stays we’ve had anywhere!
