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 KingdomIt was just lovely. A magical experience. Situated just inside the Medina, the calm amongst the chaos of Marakesh. Our host was delightful and kindly showed us his beautiful private collection of all things Berber etc within a classic setting. A fabulous experience and a memory for life Thank you to all the staff members at Riad KNIZA

CanadaMy favourite Riad so far. As someone who appreciates architecture and interior design, this riad felt like I was living in n architectural museum. There is a lot of history in this riad. The staff was really helpful

United KingdomThe breakfast was a bit carb and sugar heavy on my first day. But the next morning the staff offered vegetables and fruit and those were delicious. So kind of them!
Such a beautiful Riad in the middle of the Medina. Fantastic facilities, large and comfortable rooms, and the staff is so kind and attentive. The rooftop restaurant next door has a small selection of plates and they are delicious. Do ask for a tour of the owner’s private museum, it is an absolute gem which really gives a lovely insight into the Moroccan culture. My very favourite parts of the house were the rooftop at breakfast or sunset, and the little nook on the ground floor next to all the books where in the evening you could listen to the live music. One of the best experiences and will definitely be back

United StatesA long walk from the souks, museums, historic structures, but easy to catch taxis nearby.
Comfort, beauty of the historic Riad. Beautiful spacious room and spa-luke bath. Overlooking serene courtyard with pool and fountains. Private hammam and massage outstanding. Staff so professional and helpful and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Delicious breakfasts and dinners can be taken in your room or in the courtyard or dining salon. Live traditional musicians play during dinner hour during the week. Great, same day laundry service.

United StatesRoom 2 in the old section of Riad Kniza must be avoided. We spent three nights there a few days earlier. Small, cramped and noisy. Night and day difference between new and old rooms . Staff are uniformly outstanding.
This time we had room 13 in the NEW AREA, just five months after refurbishing. Excellent in every way. Breakfast is wonderful, and staff are special.!

SwedenWe loved everything! Something they cannot control is that it was a little bit loud during the night as there were some people outside but this is Marrakech :)
Exceptional! Exceeded all expectations. The staff were so amazing, I have never experienced such great hospitality. Every single team member was truly amazing, kind and friendly that made our stay feel like we were in the bubble of the best there is in this world. We loved the food, it was super clean and the smell of this place really creates an amazing atmosphere.
