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 reviewFantastic location in the Medina, right next to Al-Hadeem Square. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly attentive, they even let us store a bottle of wine in their fridge. The terrace offers a lovely view over Meknes.
The property could benefit from some basic renovation. The towel holder felt loose when I hung a towel, and although the sheets were clean, the place would benefit from a thorough deep clean.

Verified reviewGreat location, fantastic roof terrace and lovely team. A handsome breakfast! Dinner was good too.
It would have been nice to have fruit at breakfast, but this is minor. The riad is slightly run down but thankfully not to its detriment - it’s clean, excellent showers and comfy beds.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect and staff was nice.
It’s an old very run down place. Everything is super dirty, all covered in dust or sticky. The bathroom hasn’t been maintained, reeks of sewage and is moldy. The room is damp and without windows. The blankets reeked of artificial strawberry. The breakfast was mediocre and the butter served was rancid and clearly past expiration date. To top it all off there was no running water in the morning when we had an early check out and there was no staff to be found. Can’t recommend this place to anyone, I strongly advise to go somewhere else.

Verified reviewMohammed and his staff were very kind and helpful. The location is in the centre of Medina and the terrace has a wonderfull view. Breakfast was good.
The airconditioning system was not working efficiently, so we were a little cold during the night. The bathroom was not cleaned, but after our request, was immediately and properly cleaned.

Verified reviewThe manager was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace with an exceptional view was excellent.
The distance from the nearest street is 150-200 meters over a bumpy pedestrian street in the old city making it difficult to roll in luggage

Verified reviewThe owner is great! If he wants to lead you somewhere, just go :) he has very interesting stories to tell and knows beautiful places. The palace of the professor with its terrace is incredible, go on the top for the sunset Big room and big toilet In the center of Medina
Our window is on the street: at 7 am we were awake and from 4 to 5.30 am we were also awake! Some drunk local dudes (yes) decided to stay exactly under our window to scream to the moon in Arabic.

The staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay there again.
