Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe only con is that the pool doesn’t catch the sun so even when it’s sunny if you do want to sunbathe you have to go to the 2nd floor- however this is just a small inconvenience, everything else was perfect!
Staff were friendly and very helpful! And the Road was beautiful! We felt safe and the manager spent time explaining Marrakesh and giving advice on check in which was really good!

United States of AmericaOnly concerns we had were: - all the doors in the room were very squeaky - which was quite an annoyance - the 2 room suite that we booked was also a bit smaller than we expected - the room had a door to access the toilet, shower and two basin wash area - this door was an annoyance as one had to close this door to access the toilet door, while the shower was open and water would splash into the common wash area - it might have been better and more comfortable if they had a door for the shower instead and left the access open.
Location was excellent, just inside the medina within an easy walk to the market square, and, at the same time, quick access to taxi stand. We dined in the market area one day and took a taxi to restaurants in the new town the next day. Both were excellent. The area was very well lit and felt quite safe when we returned late night both days of our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, with very prompt service to any request. Breakfast was sumptuous and very tasty. They even had a nice terrace with comfortable lounge chairs to enjoy the sun or the view. The hammam & massage was excellent - very friendly external team came to the riad, and, while their English was a bit light, service was excellent.

United KingdomThis is an excellent small hotel/Riad both for its location (the Saadian tombs, both Palaces whilst only being a few minutes from the Koutoubia tower and Jemma el Fna) and its facilities. It has a tranquil atmosphere in part created by its central courtyard and pool, whilst being exceptionally clean, with approachable and helpful staff. A credit to the owner. The hotel driver who will take you to the Majorelle gardens, airport transfer or other excursions is wonderfully informative. All in all, we found nothing to fault.

United KingdomBreakfast was repetitive, that is pancakes with jam, butter, cheese and honey. Additional charge for eggs etc. Food at the property was quite pricey too. No high chair for babies ☹️
Great location, just a 3 minutes walk to Saadian Tombs, 5 mins walk Bahia Palace and 12 mins to Jemma El Fnaa market square. Hotel staff was super friendly and very helpful. This is what made our stay enjoyable - note - the two guys at the concierge were the most helpful, sorry I forgot their names. The photos on Booking.com is exactly how we found it when we arrived, even the seating arrangements on the website was accurately presented upon arrival. The Riad was definitely the right choice instead of the usual hotel stays. The bedroom was cleaned daily and the beds were comfortable, we stayed at the family room. Though no TV in the bedroom, I get why there wasn’t on purpose. Wi-Fi was good too, reliable. Didn’t use the pool, though we were told it was heated. Roof top terrace with sun beds were a charm and was handy just to relax in. The property was safe and peaceful despite being so close to the souks.

MauritiusWe loved everything !
The riad is well located, next to everything by walk you want to visit, 20 min by car from the jardin majorelle, 45 minutes from the AGAFAY desert. Loads of shops and restaurant not far from. The riad is really nice like the pictures, the staff is great and willing to make your stay be great. A big thanks to the riad manager which organize during his days off my birthday dîner in the desert it was beyond my expectations ! And the riad driver Mohammed what a wonderful intelligent man, he loves what he is doing and you can tell it about how he will treat you and tell you about Marakesh around ! The diner there was so good, the breakfast also! The hammam spa with the lady so nice ! I recommend 100 pourcent this Riad and I will be back with more people next time! A big thanks

United KingdomThough breakfast was wonderful, we would have liked a bit more variety and could alternate between choices rather than having the same one for all 4 nights we stayed. But the taste was wonderful.
Excellent Riad and friendly staff. Manager Mohamad and his staffs Hussein, Hussein and Abdelmounaim were very friendly and courteous. Always at your service and polite. Mohammad helped us to get the spices at local rate rather than tourist rate where you get fleeced.

United KingdomMostly everything was perfect. I suppose the pool could have been a bit warmer, but it was unexpectedly chilly that week so I would not fault them.
I cannot express my admiration enough for Riad Dar Alfarah. Situated conveniently within walking distance of Kasbah Mosque and the Medina, the location is excellent. Hussain graciously picked us up and assisted with our luggage. The check-in process was incredibly smooth, with Munim taking care of us and offering Moroccan mint tea upon arrival. The culinary experience was outstanding, with chefs Mina and Hafsa surpassing expectations. They prepared a delightful dinner for us, a particularly welcome treat after a flight with three children. The rooms were impressively spacious and comfortable, and our request for a baby cot was accommodated. The staff went above and beyond, offering breakfast even after the scheduled time. From laundry services to childcare, taxi arrangements, and last-minute requests for amenities like hammam, spa, and manicure/pedicure, the staff handled everything with care and attention. We felt truly pampered and treated like royalty. The central pool, though initially cool, was promptly warmed up for our enjoyment. The entire staff, including Munim, Hussain, the cleaning team, and manager Mohammed, were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and courteous. They were instrumental in making our Marrakesh trip truly memorable. If I were to visit Marrakech again, choosing this hotel would be my unquestionable first choice.

United States of AmericaI don’t usually write reviews but there are so many positive things that I need to share about this Riad! Words can’t describe the wonderful experience that we had here. I have never experienced hospitality like this before! Mohamed and his team genuinely care about their guests, and they went above and beyond to make us feel at home throughout our entire stay. We were at ease knowing that if we ever ran into any problems or had questions, Mohamed and his team would find a solution. The Riad is clean, beautiful, and has such a calming energy. The rooftop terrace is gorgeous, and the pool was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the city. The location was great – walking distance to the main square and many attractions. Everyone gave us excellent recommendations of places to explore and sites to see in Marrakech. The food at the Riad was top notch. Out of every restaurant we tried in Marrakech, the meals at this Riad were easily the best. Every dish was made with fresh ingredients and was so delicious. If you are looking for a place to stay in Marrakech, I don’t think you can find a Riad better than this. It’s the attention to detail and kind, caring spirit of the Riad staff that really sets this Riad apart from others. I can’t stress enough how genuine, caring, and kind Mohamed, Hussein, Monem and the rest of the Riad staff were during our stay. We had an incredible experience in Marrakech, I’m so grateful for this place!
