Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

NorwayThis place is a gem in the middle of the medina. Peaceful and quiet, yet walking distance to everything. Beautiful room and bathroom,, nice terrasses and amazing breakfast. All the staff are wonderful as so helpful, but Adbo is exceptional! Felt very safe for single mother with teenage daughter. The narrow and intricate lanes of the medina are easy to navigate ones you start, and the riad is in a prime location. We loved our five days here!

GermanyRiad Ilayka is absolutely beautiful. The moment you walk through the door it is a peaceful oasis. It is a gem in the Medina. Our room was the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern conveniences. We utilized their shuttle service from the airport and were met outside the Medina and escorted to the riad. We enjoyed a refreshing beverage upon our arrival and a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff are exceptional and helped me tremendously with locating quality vendors in town. Their friendliness and innate hospitality made our trip so much more memorable.

IrelandNothing bad about the Riad. There was a celling fan in our room but I would get a room with air-conditioning next time just for some extra comfort. And I found the last few streets to the Riad a little claustrophobic... but that's just me.
Riad Ilayka is a beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina, Very peaceful. The rooms are traditional decor with dark wood and walls. There are outdoor areas to shade from the heat of Marrakesh and side areas in the courtyard. On the first floor, there are another few shaded seating areas.. There's also a seating area on the roof (covered), where you can see the rooftops for miles and sunbathing beds with umbrellas. Breakfast is a traditional breakfast a selection of mini bread rolls,, pancakes, flatbread and spreads, yogurt, fresh juice and tea, everything was tasty. All the staff were friendly and accommodating particularly Azzadine. The location is great and the Souks near the Riad are a little calmer than the main square and have a great selection of goods both modern and traditional particularly along the route to Rue Sid Abd El Aziz.

United KingdomFrankly there was nothing to dislike in this wonderful Riad. It was our first visit to Marrakech and I'm sure we'll return as there are many places to visit.
The facilities and staff were excellent. We enjoyed the breakfasts and all requests were met to our satisfaction. The rooms were beautifully decorated and we were upgraded on our honeymoon stay. The location within the Medina enabled us to get around easily.

The staff were all lovely and friendly, the riad was in the perfect location in between the Medina and Jemaa el Fna and we were also able to walk to the majorelle gardens and Yves saint Laurent museum from there (approx 25-30 min walk). The room was beautiful with lovely handmade shower gel and shampoo. Water and snacks were also in the room. There was a lovely welcome drink and biscuits too, gorgeous touches that made us feel welcome and special. The riad has a beautiful rooftop area too. Breakfast was really good, every day had a slightly different cake, pastries, pancakes, fruit, yoghurt and break as well as freshly squeezed juice and coffee.

SpainOur room on the ground floor was very spacious and cozy, but if guests use the stairs with suitcases, we could hear them. Same topic, around the noise, thanks to the nice trees in the patio, we could hear the birds at sunrise :)
Azzedine, Khadija and the rest of the staff have just been fantastic before, during and after our stay. Smiling and ready to help at all times, we were welcomed with a fruit juice and some traditional pastries. The Riad itself is a jewel, it's spacious, green, beautiful and very quiet from the streets' noises. The breakfast is very good if you are a sweet tooth. We would clearly repeat our stay there.

United StatesThe Riad was exactly as pictured online, but it was the staff that made it so warm and worth recommending. They met me at the outskirts of the gates, and took my luggage through the medina, and even sweetly came to get me late at night so I wouldn't be walking alone. As a solo female traveler, that added attention was a real benefit. The breakfast was great and the room was clean, bathroom was good by western-standards. In January, it was a little chilly, so prepare to wear a jacket at breakfast in the outdoor court (although they cover it). The location was good - central and easier to find than another riad that I stayed at later in the week that was ridiculous to find.

United KingdomAs our first experience in Marrakech, it felt a little intimidating at first but the staff at the Riad took care of every question and need my group had. We reserved 4 rooms out of the 7 available and it honestly felt like home that first night. They picked us up from the airport and once at the main square, we were greeted by another member of staff who grabbed our luggage and walked us through the market to the Riad. The place was clean, the staff were wonderful, the food was delicious. I have no complaints!
