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.).

AustraliaThe biggest highlight was obviously the staff We had Nadir and Omar working the front desk and would do anything for you and then Nazra their cook who went out of the way to provide us with a superb meal after we arrived late after a full day tour -thank you all. As , you are staying in a property that is very traditional and beautiful it is very different to a normal standard hotel so be prepared to experience a differencece, it will be worth it.

It was really a home away from home, we stopped by many cities in Morocco and Riad Farah was the best place we stayed in. The rooms were clean and cozy, the breakfast was nutritious. Nadir and the team at the riad were really friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We want to come back again if there is a chance.

AustraliaIt was quite loud at night if you had the windows open but didn’t bother us with windows shut.
We were travelling as a group and we were all able to stay at the same place. They were really hospitable. Our 6.1ft son laughed at the low doors for his room at the top of the house. The view over the city and the breakfast all major highlights.

CanadaNadir and his team are excellent hosts. They arranged pick up at the train station for us and walked us to the Riad. All the staff we dealt with were very friendly and seemed to genuinely care about our experience at their property. The location of this Riad near the Blue Gate is excellent and right in the hustle of the largest Medina in the world. The room was as described on booking.com. The property is quite old but it's well kept and part it's charm. We loved having breakfast on the rooftop terrace which had a great view of the medina and surrounding areas. Hosts prepared a nice takeaway breakfast for us since we had an early start when checking out.

RomaniaBefore diving into the more "technical" aspects, we must first highlight the outstanding experience at Riad Farah, thanks to its incredible manager, Mohammed. A person of rare kindness and exceptional courtesy, Mohammed went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Always smiling, helpful, and attentive, he managed to solve every issue with ease and a positive attitude. His excellent command of English allowed him to not only explain the rich history of Fez and Moroccan culture but also offer valuable advice on where to find authentic traditional products. We were even fortunate enough to learn how to prepare Moroccan tea with him! Without a doubt, Mohammed was the best host we encountered during our travels, and by the end of our stay, he had become a true friend. ❤️ Now, turning to the more "technical" aspects: The Riad: While the Riad may not boast the grandiose scale of a "thousand-and-one-night" palace, it is undeniably beautiful and exudes a charming, authentic atmosphere that perfectly complements the surrounding Medina. Its intimate size only added to its allure, making it feel like a hidden gem. Location: The location was absolutely ideal for exploring the Medina. Situated right next to the Madrasa Bou Inania, it was easily accessible from both main streets of the Medina, and very convenient for reaching the Blue Door, which made transportation a breeze. Cleanliness: We were thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness of the Riad. Everything was impeccably tidy, and fresh towels were provided daily. It was clear that attention to detail was a top priority. Breakfast: The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had during our travels—traditional, generous, and satisfying. It offered a wonderful variety and set the tone for a perfect start to each day. Plus, the terrace view, overlooking the Madrasa, was a delightful touch.
