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.).

GermanyI have no complaints. We had a room in the ground floor and sometimes you could hear the noises but otherwise everything was perfect.
The riad was very well located. You were directly in the medina and all the attractions were very close by. You could easily walk around. The riad was beautiful and very comfortable and also the host was very helpful before we arrived and during our stay. All the staf was great.

ItalyPerfect location, inside the Medina, a few steps from the blue gate, which becomes an excellent reference point to not get lost! Very characteristic riad, truly delicious! Comfortable, clean room. Excellent breakfast, excellent choice of typical dishes for dinner, obviously delicious! The staff is very good, friendly, smiling, kind. We felt at home. Catherine perfectly organized all the excursions, transfers to and from the airport, everything went smoothly. She pampered us until the last minute of our vacation as did the other members of the staff.

Excellent location near the Blue Gate, very clean, good facilities (serviced daily) including comfortable bed, piping hot shower and a jug. Friendly staff even took the wonderful breakfast up to the rooftop terrace for us to enjoy. Exceptional customer focused host, thanks Catherine. Really enjoyed the meal we had there, tasty tangines chock full of fresh vegetables.

Sri LankaI stayed at 'Dar Lantana' for a couple of nights. It is situated at the heart of Fes Medina, just a few minutes away from the cultural attractions & buzzing main street. I booked a transfer service through the owner of the medina, Catherine, to reach the riad from the CTM bus station. From the vehicle park, I was accompanied by a staff member from the riad. Since the vehicles can't reach the property directly, if you come with large luggage, it could be tiresome to carry them through the crowded streets of the medina. Catherine was very welcoming & greeted with a hot cup of Moroccan mint tea. The check-in process was smooth & the room I received was in the downstairs. The room was adequately spacious & had a couple of single beds. The room was equipped with a table, a couple of chairs, a cloth hanger, and an electric kettle. The bathroom was a bit small, especially the shower area. But it was clean and hot water worked without an issue. Towels, soap & amenities were available. Room service was available throughout the stay. The dining area was situated on the rooftop (literally on the 4th floor) and climbing the last few stairs had to be done with caution as it was steep. However, the rooftop had a panoramic view of the Fes medina. The fish Tajini I had at Dar Lantana was one of the best I had in Morocco & its portion was huge. Even the fish pastilla I had was tasty. I managed to get some laundry done through the riad for an extra cost. Furthermore, a tour to Volubilis & Meknes was booked through Riad, which turned out to be great. Catherine was communicating frequently & checked whether things were ok. Even the other staff members of the riad were friendly. Overall, it was a great stay at Dar Lantana.

IrelandCatherine is a great host, super organised, and she was always in touch with us via WhatsApp, ready to answer our questions. The riad is located in an alley of the medina, so it was quiet at night, and only 5 minutes walking from the Blue Gate. Plenty of cafeterias, restaurants and shops nearby. The space was clean, the room very comfortable. Staff was friendly. We also had dinner at the riad and it was delicious, with big portions. But most importantly, my travel companion is allergic to gluten, and Catherine baked a delicious loaf of homemade bread for her. Thank you so much Catherine!
