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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

CanadaThe facilities were great. Spacious room, comfortable beds, and a beautiful rooftop patio. The place was difficult to find, but after having experienced Fes, every place in the Medina is probably hard to find 😅 The breakfast was subpar but it was Ramadan, so maybe that was why.

BrazilThe place is very beautiful, a well decorated and super cozy Riad! The owner is simply incredible, I think he's the best person I've met in Morocco so far! The shower is hot and the beds and blankets are very good! I stayed in January so it is quite cold but the blankets are still very warm! The terrace has a really cool view of the city, it's worth going up to check it out! The kitchen is well equipped and clean, we can use the refrigerator and the breakfast is really delicious!! If you are coming to Fes, I highly recommend staying at Safir, I have already traveled to more than 20 countries and at this place I had one of the best stays, for sure!!

United StatesI had to wait 10 minutes outside the door at night for the host to come back after calling him, so I wish he would change the mechanism to allow for guests to enter on their own. I also was disappointed to see no tables or chairs on the rooftop... I recommend making it more comfortable and inviting up there!
The private room and bathroom were a great value for the price at a 50% discount. The place is beautiful, and it was quiet and calm when I was there.

Zaki the Hostel owner/manager was an excellent host. The hostel was beautifully painted with nice Moroccan features. It was always clean and tidy and felt homely. Zaki and I since there weren’t many in the hostel cooked meals together and spent time together. Zaki helped with whatever I needed throughout my stay

RomaniaThe location might be a bit difficult to handle. Nothing too bad, but just be aware that it is not in the centre of the medina and might not be for the faint-hearted to come back late at night
The owner will become your best friend

New ZealandFantastic hostel, super rooms and amazing value for money. My private room was a good size, very clean and the bed was fantastic. Pillows also good. Lots of light on upper floors, very convenient on lower floors. The owner Zak is amazing, one of the most helpful people you'll encounter in Fes, ready to provide above and beyond customer service and options and assistance. It's wonderful to be in accommodation that's run by the actual owner, and one who is so responsive. His English is also fluent. The terrace is great, and the location is peaceful. A really down to earth place to stay. Really highly recommended this place.

ArgentinaI stayed in a 3-bed room with a private bathroom at this lovely riad. The room was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. Overall the hostel was very clean and tidy. It has got a beautiful rooftop overlooking the medina. I was allowed to use the kitchen. The manager, Zakaria, was always very kind and friendly. Soon after I made the booking, he contacted me on whastapp, passed me the link on googlemaps to the exact location of the riad and explained to me how to get to the hostel from the nearby Rcif square. The location of the hostel is ideal in the heart of the old medina, only a 10-minute walk from Rcif square. There is a convenient variety of nearby restaurants and shops. I would def come back and I strongly recommend this newly refurbished riad.

MexicoThe place is not in Google Maps and is wrong in booking.com, I was trying to find it for almost 2 hours, I was already checking in at other place when I received a message from the staff giving me the right location. I had a hard time with scamers supposedly trying to help me but they just confused me even more and bothered me with money, it doesn't matter how much you give them they will ask for more. Don't accept help from the young guys in the medina, they are just scamers, ask old people they are nice people who actually care about turist that spend their time and saving in this beautiful country.
Staff is amazing, price is fair and location very good, strong wifi, good showers.
