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 reviewAuthentic riad experience and fantastic service from the team
The only thing that is difficult is the noise from other guests and the steep stairs, but both of those things are typical of any authentic riad and cannot be changed. I loved my stay!

Verified reviewSuch a welcoming host, pity the place is not well kept at all. It has potential.
Very, very bad smell.
Dear Guest, While I appreciate the compliment about my hosting, I find it curious that some guests expect perfection in an 800-year-old property while overlooking the character and charm that make it unique. Regarding your comments about smell and upkeep, these seem more exaggerated than accurate. We maintain high standards and always encourage guests to voice their concerns during their stay, not after they leave. Constructive feedback is welcome, but baseless negativity is not.

Verified reviewThe location is convenient as the riad is situated about 10 minutes walking distance from the parking lot. Tajeddine, the receptionist was very kind and helpful during our stay! He was a pleasure to meet. Even though it is stated that cash is the only accepted form of payment but I was able to pay with credit card.
The lighting of the room was very dim. There was no shower head holder and the toilet was very wobbly. The shampoo and body wash was not the best quality as it was hard to work up bubbles during showering. Consider bringing your own products.
Dear Yu Lian, Thank you for your valuable feedback and for highlighting the convenient location and great service you experienced during your stay. We are delighted to hear that Tajeddine made a positive impression with his kindness and helpfulness. Regarding your concerns, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. For the lighting, we will review and make adjustments to ensure a better experience for future guests. Concerning the shower head holder, it is available in the room, but it seems it might not have been noticed during your stay. Additionally, we take pride in offering good-quality toiletries, but we will certainly reevaluate them based on your feedback. Your comments help us improve, and we look forward to welcoming you again for an even better experience. Best regards, The Ryad Zahrat Fes Team

Verified reviewThe staff is really professional and welcoming! The location is really good, breakfast is rich and delicious. The terrace has a lovely view. We also booked the hammam experience and it was great, the lady is very professional. We spent 3 nights here and it's great value for money. Kudos to all staff members.
The blue room was a bit too dark because of the blue paint, it definitely needs better lighting, especially in the bathroom. We did say it to the reception and they offered us another room, which was appreciated. We were just too lazy to move.

Verified reviewWe stayed three nights in this beautiful Riad with my family in the medina. It's very close to the labirinth of little streets and also close to the road reacheable by cars so it's in a very good position. The brothers running the Riad are very nice, kind and always smiley and ready to help you whatever you needed. The rooms are very nice and big and also the breakfast included was massive and delicious. Close by there are also some nice restaurants like yalla yalla. It's been a great experience and I would come back here! Thank you again 🙏🏻☀️ Lucia

Verified reviewThe riad is a place of peace to rest amongst the chaos of Fes. The staff were warm, welcoming and friendly and could do nothing more to help us with our stay. We were welcomed with mint tea until our room was ready and shown around the riad. The upstairs terrace is where breakfast and dinner is served and looks over the rooftops of the medina. The breakfast was delicious and presented so beautifully. The riad is just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of the medina and so perfectly placed. The stand out bit for us though was the staff they were so attentive and friendly and made our stay for us. Thank you!!

Verified reviewWe stayed in this Riad for a night before heading to the airport early in the morning. The staff were all extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful - they woke up in the morning before our flight and prepared breakfast for us to take to go. There is a beautiful terrace with a view of medina with amazing atmosphere, which was great for spending the evening. Would highly recommend.
