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.).

CanadaExtremely accommodating, beautiful property , they put me in a room that shocked me. It must have had 25 foot ceilings . The AC unit was outstanding , and every inch of the room was detailed by wonderful handcraft. If I come back to Fes I will be staying here again without a doubt. The free breakfast was genuinely good aswell.

BangladeshAs this is a historic building, some areas show their age, but we found this adding to the charm.
Riad Damia is absolutely stunning! The traditional Moroccan architecture is spectacular - intricate plasterwork, beautiful tilework, and that gorgeous central courtyard with the ornate chandelier. Every corner is Instagram-worthy. The staff were amazing, especially the concierge who is calm, caring and competent. Breakfast was fantastic - fresh bread, delicious cakes, freshly brewed Moroccan tea and coffee.

The staff, especially Asma and the other staffs (hope I got the name correctly) were very friendly, professional, helpful and accomodating. The Riad was gorgeous, our room was super big. Breakfast was plentiful and ordered dinner was better than the restaurant outside. It was a lovely Riad with a caring feeling.

SwedenEverything was great.
We really loved the place! So beautifully decorated, the room was spacious and comfortable, there was even a shared terrace upstairs with an amazing view. The host, Hassan, truly treated us like his family, helping us resolve any question or need, like finding a guide and booking a taxi, as well as giving us tips and just having nice and even philosophical conversations. This all made our experience in Fez unforgettable!

MaltaAbsolutely no complaints - just wish we had more time here!
The building itself is absolutely stunning - beautiful traditional craftsmanship marks every doorway, ceiling, chair and table. Our room was spacious and clean. Beds comfortable and the breakfast simple but delicious. The little patio on the roof offers some lovely views of the city, and the great location puts you just a corner away from the start of the labyrinth that is the medina. But the genuine, welcoming staff are what truly made our stay special. Most especially Hassan, who went well out of his way to accommodate us, give us recommendations and made sure our experience of Fez was perfect. I would also highly recommend the Hammam here-the ladies were excellent and made it such a relaxing experience. We encountered quite a few tourists traps while travelling through Morocco, but this was honestly such a breath of fresh air! I cannot recommend it enough!

NetherlandsDue to huge windows from the room to hall it was a bit lacking some privacy, there were curtains of course. Our room was on the ground floor. But it's something we can stand getting that luxury local experience!
Great place! Easy-accessible both by foot and by car. Really easy even for foreigners. Picturesque design, very spacious room with so many beds, 2 wcs, airco. We were not able to eat breakfast due to an early flight, but it was so sweet to get a take away pack. The staff was very friendly and helped us really a lot!

He was always available to answer any question or help us with anything we needed, from arranging taxis to giving tips on what to visit in Fes. The Riyadh itself is stunning, with beautiful traditional decor and a peaceful atmosphere. But what really made our stay special was Hassan’s care and kindness. We felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Thank you, Hassan, for your amazing hospitality — you made our time in Fes unforgettable!

United KingdomI had one minor issue with the Medina tour arranged by the Ria which, while perfectly acceptable, was a bit too focused on taking you to the guide's friend's shops!
All the staff at the Riad were wonderful, welcoming, and helpful. Particularly Azzedine who couldn't have been more helpful and was a fantastic host. The Riad itself was beautiful, with incredible interior and a spacious room. A relaxing retreat away from the bustle of the Medina. The breakfast at the Riad was both delicious and large!

United KingdomNothing, although the breakfast could have been more varied with perhaps some fresh fruit available.
Riad Damia is an absolutely gorgeous property and we had a lovely stay. The Moroccan decor was beautiful throughout the hotel. Our room was one of the nicest room we’ve had during our many travels. It was spacious and with detailed Moroccan ceiling paintings, wonderful tiles and beautifully painted and embroidered furnishings. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean, with a great shower. We stayed in the roof terrace which was delightful. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs. It is located on the edge of the Medina, which was fine. It was quiet and it was less than a ten minute walk to the center of the Medina. Fes felt safe despite the inevitable hassle by would be guides and vendors; very few were aggressive and the majority of people were friendly and helpful.
