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 reviewSmall, refreshing pool, nice terrace to sunbath and relax. Breakfast on the terrace was nice too and the staff was flexible when we needed to leave earlier in the morning. Amazing location - pickup place for activities in 3 min walk, in the heart of the medina and surrounded by markets.
The walls are very thin - you heard EVERYTHING. We had cockroaches on the second day and told the staff about it - they were helpful and the cleaning lady used some spray or something against it. When we came back to the room and asked if the cockroach was gone, they assured us that everything was fine. We entered the room and found a cockroach in the middle of the bathroom, this time dead. We double-checked the whole room since then to make sure there were no cockroaches before we went to sleep. In the last night, we heard something falling done and turned on the lights again - it was another cockroach. We immediately told the staff, but nothing happened. Later we heard a crawling noise and found another cockroach - we insisted on getting another room. At first, this was not possible because the staff didn‘t know which rooms were free the next day but as we were about to leave to go to another riad, they gave us another room. We did not sleep a minute that night..

Verified reviewThe Maison Chadia Boutique Hotel & Spa is the perfect destination to immerse yourself into the local culture. A very ideal location to explore the local souks, which are right on your doorstep. As a female I felt very safe and was comfortable at this hotel. They also supported me with taxi booking and recommendations for food and activities. The staff were extremely hospitable. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a beautiful authentic destination in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech.
I did not experience anything negative during my stay.

Verified reviewReally convenient location for first-time visitors — you're in the northern part of the medina where there are lots of artisans around, but it's not as hectic as the souks further down towards Jemaa el-Fnaa. Le Jardin Secret, Medersa Ben Youssef, Maison de la Photographie, and Musée du Parfum are all less than 10 minutes away by foot, which is great. Our main point of contact during the stay was Marwan, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and always on hand to share helpful tips about things to see and do. We also appreciated that he's incredibly attentive and would keep an eye out for us, especially in the first day or two when we were still finding our way around. Every staff member we interacted with was lovely and kind, especially Rashid, who may actually be a ray of sunshine in human form. In terms of amenities/facilities, the complimentary breakfast was a perfect way to start a full day of exploring Marrakech, and sunset on the roof was just perfect, although we sadly didn't make use of the plunge pool due to how busy we were. We both slept extremely well during the trip due to the great soundproofing and comfortable beds. Also as two self-confessed cat people, we loved trying to spot where Caesar the riad cat would be napping every day.
Heat control in the shower was a little temperamental but we got used to it in the end.

Verified reviewIt was a lovely calm escape from the souks, the staff were lovely in the main. The place was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfy 😊
The apartment was a bit shabby and in need of refurbishment, the shower was hand-held as the fixing was broken and the floor was jagged and missing tiles. We had to wait quite a while at times for the door to be answered as there was no other way of getting in and out. The area is a bit rough compared with our previous apartment on the jemaa el fnaa square. Some of the staff could be a bit indifferent, breakfast serving guy was very surly at times, maybe he was not a morning person but he made asking for anything a bit awkward. Not the best value for money to be had in marrakech...

Verified reviewIt was not only so beautiful and clean, the aesthetics and the design of this riad was so modern and I believe it was the best riad we had gone to in Marrakech. The décor and the ambience was a 10/10, and coming from the world of London to Marrakech, this riad showed all the beautiful parts that make up Morocco while showing elements of elegance.
Everything was perfect!

Verified reviewThe riad was fantastic. The place is a beautiful oasis in the medina with a lovely roof terrace for sunset, the rooms are comfortable (including with aircon and wifi that works well), and the staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay - Marwan on the front desk was a star!

Verified reviewThe Riad itself was beautiful and so peaceful, we spent much of the time in the courtyard outside our room reading by the pool. Marouane was very friendly and helpful from the get go in providing recommendations, directions and advice. The room was lovely and comfortable with a large bathroom. The breakfast was also excellent with a variety of breads. They were kind enough to pack our breakfast on the last day as we had to leave before breakfast opened...much appreciated!
The bathroom had a drainage smell which we were told apparently affects most of the riads in the north part of the Medina. They did provide drain covers that helped a bit. I would recommend to the owners to find a permanent solution to this, as we did stay in two other riads in the north of the Medina which didn't have this problem. However, Maison chafia was the most idyllic of the three riads we stayed in.
