Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

MalaysiaThe room was little spacious but manageable
The hospitality! Ayoub took a very good care of us. It was very peaceful and great atmosphere inside the riad. We had the best chicken tajine with lemon. No other restaurants in whole Marrakech or Fes came close to that. The room was very clean and comfortable. Ayoub was very friendly. From serving us tea while explaining the Berber culture, showing us route to the main square, giving dinner recommendations he was there always to attend to all of our needs. We really enjoyed the whole stay here. The breakfast was good as well!

Place is bit hidden but a really nice stay with authentic Moroccan touch. Host very friendly, professional and accommodating. Breakfast is really excellent as yiu can request for anything that you want to have for your breakfast as we asked for traditional morroccan pancakes which really good! Ayoub was very helpful and informative. Really recommended. You should also asks about the excursions and day trip that they can provide. Will repeat if coming to marrakesh again

United KingdomAyoub was a wonderful host and makes you feel very much at home. A real asset to the Riad - great knowledge, superb cook and nothing is ever too much trouble. The Riad itself is beautiful and has a very nice vibe to it. Places to relax inside as well as a great roof terrace. I stayed in the normal double room and felt it was good value for money and should also be fine for a couple.

PortugalThe only downside was the proximity to a mosque, which had prayers at 5am. Outside of prayers, it was a cool, quiet and welcoming place. It felt like home!
Great location, 10 minutes' walk from the main square Jemaa el-Fna. The room and bathroom were spacious, clean and nice. The breakfast was bountiful and absolutely delicious. The service was also really good, information provided was accurate and everything was great or even exceeded our expectations. The Riad management also accommodated a special request to stay an extra night with late notice, which we appreciate tremendously. We were welcomed by Ayoub, one of the most helpful, friendly and dedicated people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! We had many nice conversations and interactions. He gave us a succinct and extremely helpful overview of the Medina and activities we could enjoy. He always welcomed us with a smile. We will remember him for the rest of our lives and hope to come back soon, if anything just to say hi and have a cup of tea with him.

United KingdomBeautiful Riad in a quiet part of kasbah. The neighbours are all very friendly. Felt very safe even walking late night. So easy to walk to main attractions and also super easy to arrange pick ups for day trips. The rooms had good air con and the entire riad was really clean. Good shower I loved the pressure. Beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Ayoub is a fantastic host. He was so helpful and genuinely a very kind person making him a perfect host. He is also very knowledgeable and will help out with any questions. On our last day Ayoub kindly prepared a breakfast slightly earlier than the usual breakfast time as we wanted to be at the airport in time. We really appreciated Ayoub for all the small things like that that make a big difference. He also makes a wonderful tagine! We ate twice in the riad and both times the food was very delicious and authentic on our last night we wanted to eat out one last time to soak up the city but the place we chose was disappointing their tagine lacked care and flavour, I regret not having our last dinner in the Riad, Ayoub also makes very delicious tea. Big THANK YOU to Ayoub for his hospitality we really appreciated his presence and warmth. Also, was not expecting to be sharing the riad with a tiny bird family! We love bird watching so this was a lovely surprise! I loved watching them at breakfast each morning industriously going about their day picking up twigs for their nest in the riad.

SpainThe location of the riad is great. The design of the communal spaces as well as the rooms creates a wonderful local ambience. It is well equipped and super clean. What makes the stay most special is the incredible welcome and hospitality of Ayoub, the best host. He is always there to help, answer questions and prepares absolutely delicious breakfasts everyday. We appreciate him so much and can confidently say we will return!

CroatiaThe riad is located on the very edge of the medina, in one of the backstreets. We personally had no issues with this, but some visitors might feel uncomfortable passing through the area at night.
I highly recommend this riad; it is beautifully decorated with a charming rustic touch. The hospitality of the hosts is exceptional – they responded to all our inquiries promptly. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent!

We had a fantastic stay at this Riad Azawan. The location was perfect, just a 20-minute walk to the center, which made it easy to explore. The breakfast every morning was delicious, and they went above and beyond to take care of us. It was so peaceful, clean, and calm — a true oasis after a busy day in the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

AustraliaThe hot water was a struggle every day. Sometimes the water had to run for 20 mins to just get luke warm. Also room size includes bathroom so the actual bedroom part is smaller than what is stated on the listing. (I have found most listings don't include bathroom size so was expecting a bigger room). It has a decent cupboard so you can put things out of the way it wasn't really a negative just letting it be known. The mosque is very close so call to prayer was quite loud. I feel like this should be stated in the description more clearly than it is currently. Silence broken by call to prayer or whatever the wording is is a bit misleading. It didn't affect our stay but people have a right to know and then choose accordingly. Having said all that I still give it 10/10 and would stay again.
The Riad is beautifully decorated, has a great roof top and the breakfast was unbeatable. Impeccably clean and Ayoub made sure all our needs were attended to. I like walking so it was in a walkable distance from all I needed to see.
