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 reviewI loved everything about the property! Beautiful architecture, the rooms were well decorated, the riad was super clean and so comfortable! Jamal and his team went beyond hosting me! Jamal helped organise a 3 day trip to Merzouga, I could even leave my suitcases there so I could only travel with a small bag. On my way back, I couldn’t book my ticket for the bus to Essaouira through my phone, Jamal went to the station and booked one for me so I don’t have to worry. I simply have no words for how helpful, kind and welcoming Jamal was! I felt home and even came back for another night after my trip to the desert! I will absolutely be back to Riad Dar Elma and I 100% recommend it! Choukran Jamal and team!!
Nothing, I loved everything!

Verified reviewAmazing stay!!! Highly recommend. I stayed at a few riads in Marrakesh and this one was definitely one of the best! Jamal and his team was SUPER friendly and helpful. The room was beautifully decorated, bed was comfy! Shower was super good and had hot water. I also loved that it's a small road - they only have 4 or 5 rooms. Will definitely go back!

Verified reviewThe staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, they welcomed us warmly and showed us on a map where all the sightseeing activities are and what to look out for. On our last day, we had to leave early, but that was no problem. They made us breakfast at 7 in the morning as per our request. The food is great. The location is very good; it is in the center of the old city and all sightseeing is within walking distance.

Verified reviewThe riad was beautifully designed and very peaceful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the central courtyard was a perfect place to relax. The location was also convenient—close to the souks but still quiet enough to feel like a retreat. The room was clean and well-decorated, and the breakfast was delicious.
The room was a bit humid at night, and the water pressure in the shower could be stronger. Also, it took a little while to find the entrance the first time.
