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 reviewVery positive vibe in a beautiful old riad. The terrace on top gives a superb view over the town. The intelligent Youssef runs the simple place with empathy and care and has loads of humor even though he seems to be timid at first sight… he also helps for anything you ask. There is breakfast and diner avilable, the food is great! If we come back, we would love to stay there again.
I first had to get used that the rooms have authentic wooden grids above the doors, it let’s all sounds through but it’s very quiet in general and especially at night, we slept very well. Downstairs rooms don’t have a lot of light, you can’t see what the weather is like for example but then again: it’s part of the authenticity of the property and the ceilings are very high. None of this would withold us to come back!

Verified reviewIf you’re looking to experience the Fes medina in all its authenticity, this is a wonderful place to stay. The old riad is full of character, and while it’s not a luxury five-star hotel, it had everything we needed: comfortable bedding, a decent shower and exceptional hospitality. Youssef was incredibly welcoming, attentive and helping us all the way. The rooftop terrace overlooking the medina is amazing. Traditional Moroccan breakfast is nice and generous, and Youssef’s mum cooking is delicious – were honestly the best we had during our time in Morocco. We spent a great week here as a family — both adults and kids loved the experience. It’s a stay we’ll remember for the warmth, the food, and the feeling of being truly immersed in local life.
The house is traditionally designed to stay cool during hot Moroccan summers, so during our stay — which had a few cool and rainy days — it was a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings. Just something to keep in mind depending on the season!

Verified reviewOur stay in riad Ranya was perfect. Mr. Yousseff was very kind and always at our disposal. He made the best tea and offered us everything, like breakfast, dinner and an airport taxi. He even made sure we got safely to the riad, as although it is located right next to the R'cif gate, getting to the front door was a bit tricky, especially at night. However the views from the terrace were amazing. The beds and the bathroom were clean and very nice. Our time in riad Ranya was an awesome experience and we highly recommend staying there.

Verified reviewYoussef is attentive to his guests and made my visit to Fes very special. I will always remember his hospitality. He met me outside and offered to help with my luggage. His English is good and gave clear directions for free parking 10 minutes walk from the Riad which made arriving by car very easy. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean and a nice escape from the noise of the medina. The terrace provides stunning views over the medina and a great place for breakfast. I wish I could have stayed longer! Highly recommend if you are visiting Fes.
