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...).

LuxembourgThis riad is the jewel of Medina! We enjoyed very much our 3 night stay in this beautiful place. The location is perfect, within walking distance to all the sites to visit. Every detail of the Al Azrak suite is breathtaking! The restaurant in the courtyard with it’s music is also very pleasant in the evening, do not miss to have dinner there. We appreciated the warm welcome of Omar! A big thanks goes also to Simo who served us the delicious breakfast. I definitely recommend this riad to all those who look for a special place with a soul!

My recent stay at Riyad Al Moussika exceeded all expectations. The impeccable cleanliness, luxurious amenities, and attentive staff made it an unforgettable experience. The attention to detail in room decor and the prompt, friendly service truly set this hotel apart. I highly recommend Riyad Al Moussika to anyone seeking a top-notch accommodation experience.

This Riyad is a gem. So beautiful with exceptional staff. Mr Hassan the manager was so helpful kind and ever charming. His staff, Sharif, Omar, Simone and all the others went out of their way in insure that we enjoyed a marvelous holiday. The restaurant Pepenero, is on the ground floor of the Riyad with 5 rooms above looking into the pool and courtyard. It was excellent with both Italian and Morrocan food. We enjoyed watching the dinner guests coming and going and we’re not bothered by the chatter and noise. Always quiet after 10 pm! We had one of the two suites with our own inner terrace and a beautiful huge private roof top terrace. It was all absolutely amazing.

CanadaThe only thing you need to be aware of is that the restaurant is in an open area below the rooms and you can hear the restaurant noise until it closes around 11:30. It wasn't a big problem but if you are early to bed you might find it annoying.
The Riyad is magnificent. The room was huge...and so was the bathtub. The staff were great and very attentive. The breakfast was excellent and make sure you have a meal in the restaurant.

IsraelThe Riyad was absolutely stunning. It felt as if the room was part of a museum. The staff was amazing, very attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to help us. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Medina. It's very easy to walk from the Riyad to the Souk and different sites. When we return to Morocco, this is the Riyad we will be staying at. A huge thank you to Hassan and his staff for setting the tone for the most amazing trip.

United KingdomVery little to dislike. Perhaps, a little more investment in the roof terrace - such as a plunge pool or cold shower.
Very well restored and attractive riyad in a particularly quiet location - yet only a short walk to the souks. There are only four guestrooms, so the place never feels crowded during the daytime. They are pretty well appointed too, but retain a traditional feel. The rooms are all on the 1st floor and offset, which is excellent, if you appreciate how noisy some riyads can be (especially on the ground floor). They are a good size also, and don't have a double bed wedged into a narrow space (if you are new to this type of stay, always check the pictures and avoid the ground floor!!). It's busier during the evening as the restaurant Pepe Nero is on site. This is a very well regarded Italian restaurant (with a few Moroccan dishes) and already features in the local good food guides. The diners are all downstairs and don't intrude on the accommodation. Additionally, I did get to see the kitchens, and they are spotless. Breakfasts are generous and the staff were very helpful. They will arrange taxis, book restaurants, exchange money... There is a free hammam on site plus associated treatments at extra cost. All riyads have their pros and cons, but this one does the important things really well.

United KingdomWish we would have known in advance that it was a public restaurant in the evening. This meant there was nowhere as a hotel guest to sit in the evening. And some guest info in the room would have been helpful.
Beautiful Riad with stunning architecture and decoration - room felt authentic but with modern touches (toiletries and lovely fluffy white towels). Very helpful and attentive staff,, nothing too much trouble for them to help. great breakfast, and restaurant food was the best we had in Marrakech

Austriathe music (always the same) at the restaurant was often too loud we were glad when it was turned off. the carpets in our room were worn out and dirty. it would add immensely to the atmosphere of the riad to get some beautiful berbers.
our room, the green room has its own loggia and its own stairs to a roof terrace where hasan the manager often served us dinner. he was very helpful in showing us spots of interest, arranging taxis and guides on request. we enjoyed cooling off in the pool.

SingaporeThe description said that there would be a hairdryer but there wasn't. I really needed that. As there was an Italian restaurant inside the Riad, there was Italian music playing loudly every night till about 11 pm (sometimes even later) and I could never go to bed earlier to get over my jet lag.
The staff :) the place is beautiful, the pool (though not for swimming, I asked). I used the patio for yoga. There are only about 5 rooms/suites so it's not crowded.
