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...).

New ZealandThe riad needs a lick of paint of a refresher, it's getting tired. Pictures in Booking.com appear to have been taken a while back and the owner needs to invest in replastering in places, repainting in general and replacing some of the furnishings eg. floor rugs with holes.
The riad is charming and after a hot dusty day in Marrakech it's the perfect retreat. Mohamed and Yousef were both great, Mohamed was particularly helpful.

FranceWe spent 12 nights at the Riad Zaouia 44 as a family with two children (11 and 8). The riad was the perfect place to stay in Marrakech and we would all go back at the drop of a hat. We stayed in the Salon Suite which was large, spacious and comfortable with an excellent balcony overlooking the leafy courtyard. The rooftop terraces were lovely places to relax as well as down in the courtyard, where the temperature was always nice and cool however hot it was out in the medina. The location is also great, not too far from the buzzing Bab Taghzout, where there are plenty of places to eat. Best of all though was the staff. Mohamed and Youssef couldn’t do enough for us, they were always on hand to answer questions or help out, and the kitchen staff provided an exceptional breakfast every morning. Thanks for providing us with a memorable stay in Marrakech!

PortugalSeems like the owner has not been around lately as the common living room is a bit carelessly taken care of and appropriated by the staff, the bathing towels are very old, the sofa bed is deformed,… Staff is ok, but does not show you around the riad when you arrive. They hang around as if they were at home.
Beautiful riad! Beautifully and carefully renovated and decorated. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The courtyard with its garden and pool has an amazing atmosphere!

NetherlandsThe Riad’s courtyard is very chilly in winter. It would be better to have breakfast on the roof top ;-) what we did last day. But in summer time this must be a wonderful escape from the heat. Also, the room had a heater so it can be warmed up to somebody’s liking.
Beautiful building inside and very comfortable room. The decor is very minimalist. It could use some more touches here and there to lift it up to a perfect and ideal spot. Nice roof terrace and good location in the north of Medina - close to the soeks and a “ real “ less touristy part of town. Very quiet inside, perfect for sleeping. The hospitality and kindness and high quality customer service provided by Mohamed was very appreciated. Our stay got a “personal touch” and it felt like staying at home with a friend that knows where to join in and when to give guests some space. We got lots of information about the city and safety. And help with arranging a shuttle when other hotel we stayed in just ignored our requests. Very professional.

United StatesOne thing that wasn't ideal, but is out of the control of the Riad, is that there is a mosque very close by, and the morning call to prayer around 6:30am is very loud.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. We had dinner at the Riad one night and it was the best meal we had during our visit to Marrakech. Home cooked and delicious.

Although the staff were limited, they went way and beyond to try to cater to our needs which we are very thankful for. Mohammed, the host was really good and he even gave us a heads up on what to do and what nots, directions and recommendations were provided. Good view for the sunset too!

United KingdomThe rooms did get cold, particularly in the evenings. It might be nice to provide some disposable slippers as the floor is very cold and consider little heaters.
The hosts Mohammed and Yusef were extremely friendly and helpful, which made the stay comfortable and smooth. The riad was clean and we liked the option to sit in the shade downstairs or the sun upstairs. The room was nice and clean too, although cold in the evenings so bring a jumper! Breakfast was simple but good. While not in the very centre of the medina we found the location good - 15/20 min walk to the centre, taxis could be picked up two minutes away and would drop you right back outside the riad door. There was a bank/ATM about 5 minutes away too.

United KingdomWe went in Feb, so the room is a bit cold so we had an electric blanket but only one one side so extra heating for cold months would be good. In the middle of the riad as it’s open, it’s open so also outdoor heaters would help too but I can’t fault anything else as everything was exceptional.
The staff were so warming and lovely every day. The riad is beautiful! The rooftop is breathtaking.

I’ve been in the riad for a week and the staff is very friendly and working hard for your pleasure! The riad itself is hidden in a small street just outside the marketcentre, you wouldn’t know it was there if you don’t have a map. When you need some shade you can sit outside on the ground floor and if you want to bake in the sun you can just chill on the rooftop. If you are in the mood for some wellness there is a possibility to get massages or a hammam as well, we booked the hammam and it was very nice! I really loved the stay!
