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 riad is such an oasis of quiet on the edge of the medina. The staff were super friendly, catering for my dietary needs (lactose intolerance) at breakfast. It's a lovely place to hang out in the middle of the day during the July heat. Close to nice restaurants and cafes. The roof terrace is a lovely space to relax!

Verified reviewA beautiful calm little oasis in the Medina of Fes and just so thoughtfully laid out. The rooms are large and cool and a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Medina! Breakfasts lovely and the dinner was fabulous! Thank you to Omar and his team for a fabulous couple of days!

Verified reviewThe most beautiful finishes and the courtyard is a wonderful sanctuary from the busy medina. Breakfasts are generous, and the dinner available upon request and reservation was excellent
Like most places in Morocco there are many stairs, this is not a negative but advice to pack light luggage.

Verified reviewGorgeous place. Beds are super comfortable and it is centrally located to the Madina and nearby restaurants. Staff is SO nice and helpful. Great view from the bedroom. The AC/ heat worked amazing.
Shower didn’t drain well, not much common space. Didn’t feel like you could go relax at end of the day other than in your room unlike other Riad’s I have stayed in

Verified reviewWe loved this Riad and loved both the rooms we booked. One of them was a 3 person occupancy with a ccrib for child on the ground floor of the riad opening into the brekfast area and view. The other was a room with an attacked balcony and sweeping view of fez. Each room was well stocked with blankets, towels, toiletries etc and was very large for the price paid. We had dinner at the riad and the included breakfast the next day - both very exceptional and the dinner was probably one of the best we had in Morocco. The staff - Omar and the chef were very accommodating and helped with the food requirments and anything we needed for our child as well. The property itself was beautiful and we loved all the decor in the rooms and the courtyard. Perfect for a couple of nights of stay! Would highly recommend this riad in Fez.
Location is a bit hard to navigate and you definitely need porters if you have luggage which adds to cost. Would be great if the property could arrange this as part of stay

Verified reviewIt’s a lovely place, beautiful design and comfortable bed. Good room size and good location. Easy to reach to restaurants and markets. Breakfast is lovely and good food. It would be if they can supply some fruits as well.
The shower doesn’t supply enough hot water for two people at the first night. I had a nearly cold shower, somehow the toilet is a bit smelly.

Verified reviewNice riad in a great location and at a good price. There are many riads in Fes, and we were very happy with our location in comparison. Omar (the host) was very helpful e.g. with our suitcases. Breakfast was pretty good. Staff was always friendly, and riad provided laundry service.
Our specific room (Fassia) was a little dark, but we saw that they have rooms that are brighter. Maybe we could have moved but we got used to it. To access the riad, you ring a bell and someone has to open the door - we would have much preferred a key, but there was no problem.
