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 reviewLocation was great and at a very reasonable price. Air conditioning in the room was life-saving
There were 3 of us staying together in one room, and one of us had to check out earlier than the other, so they went down to breakfast before the other two. As it turns out, breakfast is only provided once for each room, which we were unaware of, so the other two of us weren’t served as we thought we would be. If we had known about this prior then it wouldn’t have been an issue.

Verified reviewThe riad itself was beautifully decorated. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Includes breakfast which is a plus and the price is very reasonable.
We had the top floor, which meant all the hot air was there. During the day the ac worked fine and at night it didn't work, I really didn't sleep the air was very hot and tjr ac worked as a fan only for 1 bed.

Amin should adjust his behavior. This is not how a guest should be handled. Amin is rude.

Verified reviewThis Riad was really nice. Our host was the best guy ever to begin with. Breakfast was really tasty and cooked on the spot just for us. The terrasse has an amazing view of the Medina.
Unfortunately, the wifi in the room was not working. Also, the room was a bit dark and a little bit humid but these were minor inconveniencies .

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, nice breakfast, nice welcome and godbye, authentic riad with nice atmosphere. Standard ia similar to other cheap riads in Morroco.
Description of the room not very "accurate" and should be updated. No washing machine in the room (service additionally paid 10dh/Item). No way to park the car for free as indicated and generally no option to go by car as the riad is inside of old Medina. No walk in shower but old bath, with a bit blocked drain. "Soundproof" doors means wooden doors which are difficult to close. Wifi was not working at all. Nevertheless it was unforgettable experience to spend two days inside the old Medina.

Hello, we are at the reception at Riad Diwan. These customers have booked with us, and when they had breakfast in the morning, they asked us to let them spend another night in the hotel. We told them that we do not have a room, every room is booked. They left and moved the bags here and spent the whole day outside the city. When they returned, they took their bags and left and wrote this comment on us. I do not understand how this person speaks and how he acts with his mind. He does these things like this. I do not understand.

Verified reviewThe location was in an amzing location. Very close to most monuments and attractions. The breakfast included was a typical Moroccan breakfast and very filling. We also ordered dinner as we used to get tired after long days outside. The tajine was amazing but I must put pressure on the beautiful and delicious couscous. The portions are really big, but definitely a must try. The stuff members are amazing, they are ready to help and very welcoming. If you find any issue during your stay do not hesitate to ask them for help. I would also suggest you to go to the terrace for dinner and breakfast as the weather and the vibes are immaculate!

Verified review* Great budget experience of a riad * Amazing location - in the very heart of Fez medina but easy to find and on one of the main routes * Beautifully decorated * Amin and Omar were really helpful hosts (thank you both!)
* We still consider the place to be a good value for money but it could do with a bit of thorough cleaning

Verified reviewNothing.... It should not be listed on bookings.com
After paying on bookings.com in full the owner of the Riad laughed at me saying everyone there knows he has no bank account. We have to pay him again in cash and in full. This is a shock if you already paid and had to quickly get cash. This early evening so we said we will sleep one night then he said we will pay and sleep for the nights we booked or we have to find somewhere else to stay. We ended up paying again and still after 4 days no reply from bookings.com. The place was filthy. We booked a room with a private bathroom and ended up having to use the one on the ground floor for everyone which was really dirty and we could not even stand up right in it. The beds were terribly uncomfortable. We were not the only tourist with the extra payment experience, the same night 3 other ladies had the same.
Hello, we are in the reception at Riyadh Al Diwan. These customers booked with us and indeed we asked them to pay for the room because we do not have any other way to pay at home and we swore. Booking was informed of this information and spoke to them and they paid. We are now making a statement that we have taken the price of the room from the customers. We did not take it from any other way. We hope that Booking will return their money to them and that they did not speak to us in such a way on the site. We spoke and told them that if there was any problem, they should call us on the phone number and we called Booking and told them everything. Only a mistake was made and now their money is not with us at Booking. This is not true. This is how they treat us at home with a nice face and when they go, they make comments that are different from the home meeting.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed a couple of nights stay and were very pleased with the hotel. We got upgraded to a double room with personal shower free of charge. The room and shower/bathroom was relatively clean with some minor exceptions. The hotel has a nice terrasse from where to enjoy a good breakfast, and you are allowed to use their kitchen for cooking. Good wifi. The location is also great for travellers wanting to experience Fès medina. We felt that it was great value for money. The staff was very nice.
The room was quite cold when visiting in January, but the duvets kept us warm at night. Some minor issues such as with the drain in the shower.
