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.).

SpainIt would be great to have more fruit with the breakfast. It was delicious but there was too much bread. We missed more fiber.
Hassan and his team’s purpose is to make you feel like home and he achieves to do so. The riad is brand new and super clean. The staff is kind, the breakfast is delicious, the pool is big and the whole place is beautiful. If we come back to Morocco, we will book Darchica again.

PortugalThe pool was empty on one of the days of our stay. After a day of walking on a hot and sunny afternoon in the medina, my husband and I arrived at the Riad eager for the pool, but we found it empty. When we asked, they told us they were replacing the water with clean water. We were really disappointed with the situation because the main criterion for choosing this Riad was the pool. We paid for an experience and did not get it. We also found it strange that they had to empty the entire pool to replace the water. Anyway... If the pool is an important criterion for choosing the Riad, I recommend confirming during the reservation if the pool will be available. This was the only negative point, and if it weren't for this, my rating would certainly be 10.
The Riad is new, the decoration is beautiful, the cleanliness is impeccable, and the breakfast is very tasty. The location is very good. The pool is larger than the average pools in other Riads. The standout feature is the staff, especially Hassan (the manager), who makes a point of treating guests with care and special attention, making us feel like family. I got a stomach illness, and Hassan took care of me with great affection and concern. If I had to summarize Riad Darchica in a few words, I would say it is a charming and welcoming place that makes us feel nostalgic when we leave.

United KingdomExcellent location, right in the heart of the Medina and within walking distance of most attractions. The staff were outstanding, making us feel at home as soon as we arrived - Hassan is the front of house manager and nothing is too much trouble for him, he is a truly great asset and now a great friend. The food at the Riad is exceptional, breakfast was great, standard Moroccan fare of breads, jams, honey, fresh orange juice etc. We also had tagines cooked for us which were delicious and the rooms are beautifully clean and tidy. If you are looking for a home from home but with 5* service, this is the place. The pool is an added bonus especially as it can get very hot in the summer.

TurkeyOnly downside was that my door opens to the pool where the rest of the guests are having their breakfast. I'd rather a room that I can freely open up my curtains.
I love the design and the color of this Riad. Staff was very polite and kind. Room was spacious, clean and bed was comfy. Overall it's a perfect deal, I recommend!

GermanyRecommendable to the fullest! We are so glad we found this riad! It was such a warm hearted welcome that made us feel like home. This feeling got confirmed during the stay. Hassan the man and host is doing his job at its best! He makes your stay so enjoyable, as well as giving you the places where to get the best impressions of Marrakesh. You can communicate really well in English with him, which makes it easy with the communication. The rooms look very nice and clean. Moroccan interior, what we were happy about! This is what we came for, when we decided to visit Morocco. With Soukaina in the kitchen and the rest of the team providing you an unforgettable stay, we are happy to chose this incredible looking riad! Such a great time :) We are totally recommend it. Hassan, we miss your moroccan vibe. Take care of Soukaina and hope to see you sometime in the future again.

United KingdomEverything was great and we highly recommend others to stay, our only small remarks were the door in the bathroom wouldn't close (just needs to be fixed) and there were noisy guys playing music during the afternoon and coming in late which woke us two of the nights - this was a shame because it took away from the tranquility of the riad.
We just arrived home from 3 nights in Riad Darchica and had a lovely stay! The location is perfect!! Easy to reach everything but quiet and peaceful at the same time. Hassan is very kind, welcoming and attentive. He really takes care to look after you giving advice of places to go and is genuinely interested about you and your stay. Breakfast on the rooftop was lovely (the rooftop is really beautiful!), with eggs, breads, pastries and fresh tea/coffee each morning and the rooms nicely decorated Lastly, don't skip the street to the right of the Riad, great for stroll and less touristy than other places.

A fantastic experience. Riad Darchica is an oasis of peace, tranquility and home. Close to the center, 10 minutes walk through the wonderful Moroccan market. Hassan is responsible for all of the above. Wonderful person, like an older brother who advises you, who introduces you to the wonderful Arab culture and customs. I recommend talking to him daily, drinking tea and exchanging opinions and customs. Thank you Hassan, your country is incredible and even more so, if possible, if you are part of it. Thank you for everything and… Ras Hanout! Sees it Alba & Rafa 🧡
