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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesSteep stairs to upper floors and the roof terrace where breakfast is normally served. One elderly member of our party had breakfast in the comfortable lobby to avoid the stairs, and the staff was very happy to serve her there.
Location was great. Staff was outstanding and made us feel like old friends. Otman was extremely helpful and really went out of his way to make our time in Fez wonderful. He also coordinated daily tours and taxis for us. Would definitely stay here again. We recommend Dar Borj very highly.

IrelandNot a dislike, but info for other travellers - lots of stairs to rooms on higher floors, and also up to the terrace.
This was a beautiful riad, located in the medina, a few minutes walk from the Bab Boujloud Gate. We were met by a staff member at the gate and directed to the riad, as well as assisted with our bags. The staff were exceptional (Otman and unfortunately I did not get the name of the other man). The room/suite was beautifully decorated and spacious, with a double bed and loft with single bed (3 adults). The terrace was lovely, with the dining area attached to the terrace and complete with panoramic windows. Breakfast was outstanding, with a good variety and tasty breakfast foods. We were offered dinner but declined as we chose to eat outside the riad.

CanadaIt's always tricky navigating large luggage items up the stairs in a riad, and this was no exception. Glad we were just on the second floor! But this is just the nature of staying in a riad, of course.
The property was beautiful, and it had a lovely rooftop terrace -- partly open, and partly enclosed where breakfast was served. The service was excellent, and the overall experience was great. Breakfast was also really good.

Staff was super nice. Ottoman came to the blue gate to greet us and helped us with luggages. He and his colleague were very friendly. The room was clean. We stayed two nights and their housekeeping was very good. Breakfast of both days were delicious. Ottoman also helped me booked a private tour to Chefchaouen, Rabat and Casa. The tour was fantastic. Highly recommend this hotel for families.

Hong KongThe Riad is located in the heart of the medina and just few minutes walking distance from The Blue Gate. We stayed in Rate Dar Borj for 2 nights in Feb 2024. I cannot say enough about the hospitality here. The staff were professional, patient and helpful, they were all ready to go out of their way to make your experience excellent. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Don't forget to see the sunrise view at the rooftop terrace to enjoy the declious breakfast. Highly recommend this place to anyone who are staying in Fez. 10/10

Since my departure was early in the morning, he let me take breakfast with me. This kind of heartwarming service is a wonderful memory of my trip.

The location is excellent, close to everything you’ll want to see, the host arranged for a guide for us who I couldn’t praise enough. One of the best tours ever, and I’ve done a lot of them. The breakfast and afternoon lazing on the rooftop terrace were so good. Not to mention the sunrise and the sunset.
