How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location
I received a dirty, ice-cold room with no heater. There was mould on the walls and I found animal poo (might be mice) on the bed sheets. It took a long time to receive a response from the owner. The accomodation was booked out and left after one night. However, I didn't receive a reimbursement.

Verified reviewI could not wait to leave. I did not want to waste what I paid, but I should have probably changed right away. I do not recommend based on my experience, but they do have better rooms from what I have seen. I was somewhere on the top floor in a 2nd building. A 2nd hotel in the same area - entirely different experience But here are the positive: - Owners were nice and friendly. I very much appreciated I got picked up the night I arrived (around 10PM) from the entry to the Medina. Also, they were nice to allow me to leave the luggage after checkout for a few extra hours. - They have 3 terrace areas with nice view, not all very clean, but nice to spend time there. 2 cats as well :) - The shower water was hot - Location is good, 5 minutes from the blue gate, a few turns from one of the 2 main streets. It makes it hard for you to get lost.
Everything else. - The room was the worse I have stayed in in recent memory, probably top 3 in all of my travels. Definitely the worse in Morocco and I have been to 4 other cities. Just unpleasant to be in, quite cold at night, old sheets, hair on the blanket, pillow case that did not look like something to sleep on (used my own towel over the pillow to sleep). Walls, floor, bed, light - all created an unpleasant environment. - The bathroom was absolutely run down, the smell was disgusting, the toilet was moving when you sat on it, there were tiles that were constanly wet in what looked like a nasty leak (likely not water). - Towel smelled like nothing you want on your skin. - Breakfast was the worse I had in Morocco by far - no substance. Bread, jam, butter and olives (plus tea that was too sweet to drink, and store bought orange juice). - Wifi was quite poor - probably because the network was bad on the top floor, and the network that had better signal did not work at all - 12am and 1am, 2 nights in a row, terrible loud noises coming from the water system or the boilers or something. Stopped after about 5 min, but disturbing.

Verified reviewWe were here with some friends first for one night. But hatim and omar were so great at helping us that we extended our stay. Riad abqari youssefi is reasonably cheap and has a nice accommodation, morrocan hospitality at its finest. Nice breakfast as well. Bring some earplugs with you, especially if your a light sleeper.

Nothing but the short limited time we had.

Verified reviewProximity to blue gate which is the meeting point for day trips. Nice cosy environment with a great host, Hatim, welcoming you with traditional Moroccan tea. Helpful for carrying luggages up to our room on second storey on our first day. And thanks for picking us up and showing us the way to the Riad on our first day. Housekeeping lady is friendly too though she can’t speak English. Body language is universal! Highly recommended for stay in Fes

Verified reviewGreat location, in the middle of the medina, but in a quiet corner. Friendly helpful people. Hot showers and big ornate rooms, clean sheets. We were glad of the warm and English-speaking welcome with traditional tea, plus advice with our travel plans, and decided to return here and stay again at the end of our trip. Note that you have to walk from the edge of the medina
