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 reviewSalah was very friendly. Reached out via WhatsApp to coordinate my arrival and check in. Breakfast portions are big and included. Room is spacious and clean. Mini fridge and AC worked.
Not having front gate key can be an issue when going out of riad and coming back late at night. Good idea to coordinate with Salah when you expect to be back so he can open gate. Some alleys in fes medina are not well lit so wandering about at night can feel sketchy, so be vigilant when random locals offer to be a guide or help. If you need a guide Salah can offer to book a guide for you.

Verified reviewThe Riad, its public areas and rooms, were splendid. The views from the enclosed roof terrace were great. The beds were comfortable, if firm, and we both slept very well for the three nights we were there. Air conditioning functioned well. The welcome was wonderful, the desk clerk was waiting for us at the gate into the medina to walk us to the riad at 1am (and was there in the morning to check us in) and arranged other services we required. He was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. The Riad, while not right on the two principal alleys down and up through old Fez, is close enough that you can reach them in 5-10 minutes. La Perle is excellently located for access by taxi, and close to some really nice restaurants.
We enjoyed our stay, so it would be details that could be improved. The breakfast could have had a little fruit, or even some tomato/cucumber slices, in addition to all the sweet breads. More than two hangers in the closet would be good. A bracket to hold the shower head would be useful. The current one is broken.

Verified reviewClose to the main attraction in Medina even though the small street is so confusing, but this is an excellent place to stay. Beside that we park the car in the free parking spot outside the wall but only 3 minutes walk.
Maybe make the restaurant bit more cozy and attractive! and maybe small bar, nice to hangout on the open terrace for coffee or tea and other drinks.
Dear Ricky, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our convenient location near the main attractions in the Medina. We value your suggestions regarding making the restaurant cozier and adding a small bar on the terrace. Your feedback is invaluable as we continually strive to enhance our guests' experience. We hope to welcome you back to Riad La Perle de la Medina in the future. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Best regards, Manager, Riad La Perle de la Medina

Verified reviewThe bedroom (King room, Fes suite) was beautiful and very large. The inside of the Riad was also amazing. Sala on reception and Said on breakfast were very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, due to the size and design of the Riad, anyone talking in the courtyard or leaving early could be heard from our room. The bathroom whilst OK was not to the standard of the bedroom. Lastly, whilst substantial, the breakfast was not as good as our Riad in Marrakech, but it was certainly plentiful.
Dear Julian, Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed our King room, Fes suite, and the ambiance of our Riad. We appreciate your kind words about Salah and Said. We apologize for any noise disruptions and the bathroom not meeting your expectations. Your comments on breakfast are noted, and we're working to improve its quality and variety. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience. Best regards, Manager, Riad La Perle de la Medina

Verified reviewService was fabulous - went above and beyond - even waking up at 2am to give us breakfast for our journey. Breakfast and dinner were excellent also. Room was spacious and well appointed.
As with most Riad's, being open, it could get quite noisy at times.

Verified reviewThe location was superb….very close to old medina but also in a quiet location and easy to find place. Traditional architecture and very spacious rooms. Breakfast was a little bit heavy on breads and on request they adjusted it to include fruit and salad. Manager and staff were amazing and helpful. It can take a long time for hot water to come through the system. Ask them to show you which way is hot otherwise it will take a long time to figure out.
There was a fair amount of noise from within the property itself but it’s worth speaking to the manager to see what they could do.

Verified reviewFirstly I want to mention the staff. Salah, the manager of the Riad, is extremely friendly and nice person. All the time he was ready to help and answer any questions. We felt like a family for this 3 days. Also he recommended us his friend, local guide Adil. And it was the best idea to explore Fes. Cause this two guys have opened the city to us from the all sides. The location of Riad is very convenient. 5-7 minutes to the Blue Gates. The parking is very close to the hotel that was important for us. The room was comfortable and spacious. The heating was working well. WiFi is fast. And the breakfast is various. Every morning we had some different features. Next time will stay here again
Nothing to mention

The staff are very welcoming thanks to Mohamed he was so attentive and willing to help . I loved the food, despite arriving late I was able to eat at the riad, very tasty tagin, also breakfast is nice in a beautiful terrace. I booked an excellent guide with the riad, he was excellent about Fes history and culture. I recommend to stay over than two nights because this place feels like home.
