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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Spainthe only negative point is that the lock on the door make a lot of noise, so when sone come back at night they will surely wa you up weh they open their door.
for a woman alone, this Riad was perfect, I couldn't have felt safer. Ayoub made sure I found my way, helped me with everything and gave me many advises and where to go and what toa void. the Riad was in the middle of the old town and I felt safe in the neighbourhood and inside the Riad. I cannot be more thankful about that. Breakfast was onpoint, they even adjusted it to my preferences, and compared to where my friend's Riad, I had a richer, more nutritive one. the was no noise from the street,

United KingdomFrom start to finish , this booking has been nothing short of delightful, the host ayyoub has excellent hospitality and made us feel like we were at home. Breakfast every morning was at the time we required and was very tasty. The beds were comfortable and the whole riad was very clean at all times. Definitely recommend this RIAD if you want a nice quiet place to stay not too far from the hustle and bustle . Will definitely be back Insha Allah!

United KingdomWe booked late and had the smallest room, which had louvred doors with no real soundproofing, which felt like every cough and sneeze would be echoing around the courtyard! That said, they are traditional so I'm not sure what the remedy would be (other than I've booked a bigger room for next time!).
Breakfast of traditional Moroccan pancakes and pastries with dips and yoghurt-cheese, coffee, juice, mint tea, impeccably served by our host Ayoub along with an explanation of why the tea had to be poured from a great height! Cosy bedroom with traditionally decorated en-suite bathroom, use of the courtyard, a first floor chilled seating area in the shade and a roof terrace. Service attentive but not intrusive - it was like having your own butler. House cool despite high temps outside, excellently located in a proper working neighbourhood and within walking distance of many of Marrakech's notable attractions. The area felt very safe provided you keep your wits about you for the many scooters and mopeds that come bombing down the lanes! It was nice to feel "part" of the city rather than just a tourist, and Ayoub was able to furnish us with local knowledge

FranceThere was nothing we didn't like
The host Ayoub was exceptional. He was welcoming, very friendly and always present, always making sure that we felt comfortable and got everything we needed. On our first night he stayed up very long because we came late at night and he made sure to pick us up and bring us to the location and even cooked an excellent 3 course meal for us. The facilities were amazing too. It was a wonderful traditional riad, very clean and very comfortable with a beautiful rooftop terrace. The location is amazing as well, it is very quiet but not far from the center. Once you are in the riad you are in your own oasis and are able to relax and enjoy some quiet time after the chaos of the markets. We loved everything about our stay and would always come back!

Great and safe location! Close enough to walk to everything, but far enough to have some peace & quiet. The property is very nice as well, extremely comfortable with plenty of places to relax (including a great rooftop terrace). The hosts like to have some nice music on during the non-quiet hours and are friendly and easy to chat with. They make a nice breakfast and will offer you delicious Moroccan tea whenever you need.

I doubt you'll find better hosts in Marrakech than Ayoub and Said. As a female solo traveller, Marrakech can feel a bit intimidating at first, but Ayoub and Said were incredibly kind and helpful and provided invaluable knowledge of the local area, booked my spa for me and printed out my flight boarding tickets. They really went above and beyond to ensure my stay was pleasant, comfortable and safe. Thank-you!!!

PortugalNoting that I truly disliked anything, but I was not prepared for occasional noises coming from guests chatting in the courtyard when I needed to sleep, and the morning muslim prayers recited over loudspeakers in the neighborhood. Having said that, I am glad that I was able to enjoy a truly authentic experience in Marrakesh.
The hospitality was beyond expectation. Our host Ayoub catered to our every needs and he even printed our return flight boarding passes because the Marrakesh airport does not accept electronic tickets. Also, the owner, Said, arrived from time to time and he also provided valuable information regarding tours and where to save money while shopping for souvenirs. Overall, Riad Azawan provided excellent service and an authentic morrocan atmosphere.

United KingdomMy recent stay at Riad Azawan in Marrakesh was a delightful experience, largely thanks to the welcoming atmosphere fostered by hosts Ayoub and Teresa. Teresa with Her warm hospitality and exceptional patience made us feel right at home. She graciously addressed all our questions, no matter how trivial, and her valuable recommendations enriched our time in Marrakesh. Teresa's personal touch ensured that my friend and I were not only comfortable but genuinely looked after during our stay. The combination of Riad Azawan's convenient location and Teresa's attentive hosting made for a memorable trip. In addition Ayoub's culinary skills were fantastic, and he was always friendly and ready to assist with daily tasks. What stood out was Ayoub's kindness in helping with language barriers and we are incredibly grateful for his unwavering assistance. I left Riad Azawan not just with fond memories of Marrakesh but also with a deep appreciation for the genuine hospitality provided by Teresa and Ayoub. In future, when I return to Marrakesh, booking with Riad Azawan and reconnecting with these wonderful hosts will be a priority. Highly recommended for a personalised and enjoyable stay in the heart of the city.

NorwayThe double room is directly adjacent to the atrium of the Riad - the doors to the room are right next to the breakfast table - and you can hear everything going on in the main space as if it's happening in the room with you. The same is true the other way around: you can hear everything from within the room from the atrium space. Not a problem for us but those seeking a bit of privacy or quiet might want to book one of the suites instead.
Phenomenal place to stay in Marrakech. This Riad was small and felt private, but was right on the edge of the Kasbah district and next to the palais. The bedding was extraordinarily comfortable - rich cotton sheets, plush duvets and proper pillows - and the breakfast was wonderful. There's also a great roof terrace and balcony to use and enjoy. The standout here was that the service was phenomenal: attentive but very chilled and welcoming. We felt right at home immediately.
