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.).

United StatesThe breakfast was a little hit and miss. Every day was different but the amount was very good and the juice was fresh and the coffee was strong.
Best part of this hotel/riad was the staff. Simo was an excellent host and helped us book several resturants and taxi's for us. The riad was great and they made our stay very comfortable. The location is ideal with a taxi stand 5 mins away from the riad but it is also central enough to walk within the old city.

United KingdomThe Riad du Ciel is one of the nicest places we have stayed at. We opted to be met at the airport avoiding the hassle of trying to find a taxi. We were dropped off at the front door where Simo was waiting for us. We had a delicious traditional meal at the Riad for our first night. Breakfasts were also excellent. Our room was very clean, large and airy with plenty of traditional features and included a large balcony area. The Riad also has a large roof terrace with sun loungers, couches and chairs with views across the rooftops to the Atlas mountains. Our hosts Simo and Rashid were always really friendly and helpful and provided recommendations for cafes and restaurants as well what sights to see and what to avoid. All excellent advice. The Riad is well located in the Medina and has some very good restaurants only a few minutes walk away.

AustriaNothing - except we could‘ve stayed a lot longer (-:
The property is exceptionally quiet, exceptionally clean and above all beautiful in every respect and you have the highest level of privacy. The Riad is also located perfectly…and the moment you enter, the buzzig city quiets down. Spacious rooms, wonderfully designed with hand-picked antique furniture, fantastic breakfasts and dinners…but above all and most important aspect: the service was unmatched - SiMo, Rachid, Aziz and all the lovely ladies in the kitchen took care of us as if we‘re family…they offer all great advice, share their deep knowledge about their country and can offer you wonderful packages to experience Marrakech/Morocco (in- and outside the city)…we cannot thank them enough, they made the Riad even more special and were the reason why we felt so safe and so at home…and the view from the rooftop is gorgeous too - enjoy the sun coming up and going down - it‘s worth every minute. We definitely want to return (-: Practical info: they have a strong and stable wifi all over the Riad! THANK YOU ALL!!

The Riad is well situated within the medina and walking distance. It is close but slightly off the main roads so quiet and enjoyable. It really feels like a peaceful heaven within the medina. Restaurants are close by and walking distance. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Last but not least, the staff is incredible. Kind, helpful, genuine, I cannot thank Simo, Rachid and all the staff. Thank you

United KingdomWe didn't stay longer....
Perfectly located and beautiful place to stay on the doorstep of the old city. Simo, rachid and the rest of the staff were so kind and welcoming - Highly recommend. We were welcomed on our first night by a homecooked meal, which was actually our favourite meal of the whole trip (highly recommend doing this if you have a chance). A very romantic setting for our first night away next to the cool pool and orange and lime trees. The rooms are great and were always spotless when we got back each day. The breakfast was also great, full of lots of nice treats - fresh orange juice, coffee, and breads/pancakes, honey, Moroccan peanut butter (peanut butter, argan oil and honey). We also arranged an airport transfer to and from the Riad, organised by Simo (far easier than booking our own). Thanks Simo and Rachid, you are great hosts!

United KingdomThe Riad du Ciel is in a really lovely central situation so it's really easy to safely walk to many of the tourist sites. The staff are really friendly and offer help and advice with bookings. Simo was particularly helpful and called around to many different hammams to find one that was available on the date and time we wanted. The breakfasts were generous, absolutely delicious and they changed daily so we had an opportunity to try lots of different foods. The rooms are large and clean and it feels like a real cool oasis of calm in amongst the bustle of Marrakech. I would highly recommend staying here as its a beautiful, safe, clean, friendly space.

United KingdomWe stayed in the Dorée Standard Double Room, it is situated right next to the street so some noises from the street do get into the room. Early morning could be a little noisy sometimes as it sounded like there was bin collector outside. The hot water can be a little temperamental as it could get cold when trying to run a bath. I struggle to keep the aircon running as it constantly switched on and off, possibly on some sort of timer.
The Riad is beautiful and peaceful. It provided us a wonderful escape from the hustle & bustle of Marrakech medina. The staff there are absolutely wonderful. They are very attentive and constantly offer us tea and snacks while we were around or back for a break from the medina. Everyday the room get a nice tidy by the staff and new towels and shower gels were provided. It also has a nice terrace, perfect place to relax after a tiring walk in the city. The Riad doesn't have a big sign from outside so if you are arriving late at night, do let the staff know as the locals might try to get money off you if you seemed lost and needed guidance. Overall, I will highly recommend this Riad as they make us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our stay.

United KingdomNothing, we had a great stay A tip would be to take ear plugs as the streets outside can be noisy from the mopeds. This would be the same for any Riad in the medina
Lovely accommodation in the medina, a short walk away from the souks and main square. Huge and varied breakfasts each day. Simo was so helpful organising taxis, tours and restaurant recommendations. He couldn't do enough to help which made our holiday easy and stress free. Would love to visit again.
