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...).

IrelandA small riad very near the main Blue Portal of Fes. A bit hard to find at first, but Google maps and local youngsters will get you there. Co-owner Violeta and her husband have done an amazing job of renovating and her art work lines the walls. Excellent breakfast. There are more luxurious riads in Fes, but this is great value for money.

United StatesMy wife would have appreciated more light in the bathroom. I hear it’s helpful when putting on makeup:)
The property was very close to the main streets of the souk. Literally less than a minute walk, but very quiet. Everyone there was super helpful. The owners Violeta and Adil were extremely accommodating, helpful, friendly and always available. We drove to Fes, and they had a porter take us and our bags from our parked car to their Riad. That was really helpful! They also recommended a guide for us. This was our best experience of the trip. He was very affordable ($55 USD for our entire family) and spent much longer than the specified time with us and even helped us barter for lower prices on the major items we purchased. The Riad was very comfortable and their cook, Ilham, cooked us 2 spectacular dinners. Breakfast included the usual tea, bread and preserves, but also eggs, which we really enjoyed.

United StatesReally great location in the old Medina in Fes in a restored historic home. Breakfast was very nice and dinner was good as well! Violeta was friendly and interesting to talk to. She even packed us snacks because we had to leave early and could t stay for breakfast. Very hospitable. She also arranged for a tour guide of the Medina. Her name was Fatima and she was fabulous. The best guided tour we had in Morocco! Ask for her.

United StatesNothing to complain about.
Specifically, we enjoyed the facility itself and the atmosphere created by the hosts. They were lovely and incredibly hospitable! The breakfast and dinner prepared by the Riad were fantastic and everything felt like you were part of the family. The information and reservations made by Dar Asama were excellent, particularly the tour guide (private guide Mohammad). The room was also very nice, with plenty of charging stations, comfortable beds, and great amenities (particularly the light fixtures). The hosts we interacted with, Violeta and Adil, were incredibly nice, helpful, friendly, and resourceful. We appreciated their ability to make our stay memorable!
