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 KingdomThe hammam, room well there was nothing not to like
Serenity in the middle of the buzzing city. The host Ahmed and his brother were the nicest host ever encounters in my travels . The Riad is a little gem and should be kept as a secret.

PortugalWe had a very pleasant stay here. The riad is beautiful, clean and conveniently located in the middle of the medina. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, assisting with planning our days, arranging transportation and restaurant suggestions. Seeing as my greatest joy is finding nice restaurants and having good food, this was a major highlight. On the same note, a quite good breakfast featuring warm Moroccan pastries was served everyday in a gorgeous terrace. They were also kind enough to prepare breakfast for us in a day when we had to leave at ungodly hours. I would for sure book again. (:

Marrakech is one of my favourite cities. This was my third trip and the rest of my family’s first time in the city. The riad looks exactly like the pictures. The riad is a 10-15 minute walk from the main square (depending on how busy the pathways are). We arranged our own airport transfers and Ahmed liaised with our driver to meet us close to the riad, walked us into the property, showed us around, and gave tips on downloading Maps.me, places to eat near the riad, and activities to try in Marrakech. He answered any queries we had pre-check in and upon arrival. He was at our beck and call, and everything was dealt with and handled promptly. During the night, Ahmed’s brother Mohcine was there for us, from welcoming us back in the evenings after a day of exploring to making mint tea for us before bed. I cannot fault the service the two of them provided. The service was exceptional. We only tried the breakfast, and you can tell from the food that the chef, Aisha, loves what she does. The food was always warm, fresh, and delicious. The riad was quiet at night, and you couldn’t hear the hustle and bustle of the Medina during the day or night. The beds were extremely comfortable, the bathroom clean, the shower pressure amazing, and the rooms spacious. Everything about our stay was excellent. I’m already planning to return to Marrakech for a fourth time and I'll definitely be staying at Riad Albatoul. I couldn’t recommend this riad enough.

FranceA perfect place to relax after exploring the city. A small, comfortable, quiet hotel centered around a pretty courtyard. The staff were wonderful, especially Mohcine who was always there to offer us tea or coffee at any time of day. The breakfasts were delicious. The manager was also very helpful with daily meetings to propose a personal itinery for the day. After the hustle and bustle of Marrakech this quiet hotel was just what we needed to unwind.

Genuinely the best stay I have had across several Riad's on my 4th visit to Marrakesh. The hosts Ahmed and Mohcine both are absolute sweethearts and gents from exact point of arrival ultimately till departure 3 days later. Helped me purchase a sim on the night I arrived, provided everything promised and went above & beyond to cater to any / every need. They are amazing people doing an outstanding job for this Riad.

What an amazing find! We loved everything about the riad. The location is perfect for exploring the souks and all the main tourists attractions. Considering how close it is to the centre, it is so calm and quiet- the sunset from the roof top terrace was especially beautiful. The hosts Ahmed and Mohcine were so helpful and really made the stay very comfortable. The riad itself is beautiful and the breakfast was a highlight!
