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 States of AmericaWhat could have been better? Well this isn't a polished five star Ritz Palace. Sure some amount of money could be spent on renovations. The stairs in particular are challenging. Narrow, railingless, steps of different heights and width. You could look at that as imperfections but I feel like it is part of the charm of the place. Also being at the end of the alley can give you an uneasy feeling if you are used to a retreat on a tropical isle, but everywhere we went we found the local people to be friendly and helpful, never threatening nor surly.
Location - In one way the location was excellent because of the proximity to both the medina and historical buildings south of there. On the other hand it is a the very end of a dead end alley. That was a bit intimidating for newcomers to Morocco arriving to the riad past midnight. That said, said we did not have to walk the alley alone. Instead Mohammed left the riad to come great us at our taxi in a nearby street. He insisted on picking up our luggage and led us back to the riad. As the perfect host he showed us our room but then took us to the rooftop for a relaxing sweet tea and a chance to look out over the medina before heading off to bed. Breakfast the next morning was plenty of Moroccan dishes already in place on the breakfast table while staff were there to pour coffee or offer up more food from the kitchen. Delightful. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for local character in your lodging this is the place. Unlike any place I have stayed in the states or in Europe I felt like our Moroccan adventure began here.

United KingdomBe prepared that riad has super thin walls, so you can easily hear your neighbours in the next room. There are about 4 or 5 rooms in total, so it was never loud or disturbing. But still we got the feeling you need to whisper in your own room when get back late at night, as neighbours sleeping. Another tiny issue is that you need to ring a bell when getting back to riad, as you are not given an entrance key. There was never a problem of waiting for too long for door to open, but when coming late it felt a bit inconvenient.
Location of riad is perfect - very easy to find as it is near the big road, but at the same time on a small and quiet street, which you need very much after returning from the chaos of Medina. Decorations of the common area and room is very much Moroccan style, so it was lovely. Breakfast was simple, but still delicious. But it is all about the people - Nourdin helped us with transfers, showed us on where to go, and in general was very nice to communicate with. Special appreciation to the cleaning stuff, room was cleaned everyday!

GermanyWe really feel greatful to have found this Riad, we were so warmly welcomed and had such a nice stay. It's a cosy place, wonderfully decorated with love and much detail. Most of the places you might want to visit are in walking distance. It is just around the corner from Jema el-Fnaa place and the Souk, but yet very quiet at any time. Vincent and his team made sure that we felt in good hands, every single moment. He gave us tips for our stay and helped with organizing a tour to the Agafay desert. The roof terrace is inviting for a rest after a day in the city, even so good restauants and rooftop bars are just aroud the corner. The breakfast was abundant and different every day. Everything tasty and home made, I just regret I didn't take a picture of the breakfast table. Thanks a lot, Vincent and team!

United KingdomI had some trouble locking my door but everytime it happened, a member of staff came to help.
The Riad is beautiful and the staff were extremely attentive and on hand whenever we needed. They helped us arrange taxis to the airport, gave restaurant recommendations and showed us where the nearest atm was, for example. The Riad is in a great location just inside the walls of the Medina and we liked being in walking distance of everything but not being right in the centre. It was fairly quiet at night and the bed was very comfy. The roof terrace is especially nice to come back to and relax after a busy day walking and shopping.

Riad Dar Khmissa has become our home away from home. The staff, Abdou, Maria and Brahim, were wonderful and we had the best time there. We both took advantage of the special hammam and massage spa treatment with Yasin, and felt more than refreshed - invigorated afterwards. The calm and quiet of Dar Khmissa couldn't contrast more with the noise, hustle and bustle of the city.

ItalyThe riad is nice and clean and in a perfect location. The terrace is super nice and relaxing and if you happen to have dinner here, not only you will enjoy the view on the Moroccans roofs and surroundings but you’ll get to eat very delicious food - actually one of the best food we had in Marrakech. Breakfast is also very very good!!! But what we enjoyed the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - they did make the difference for our stay, all of them!But a special thanks goes to Tariq for going the extra mile and making our stay absolutely perfect!
