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 StatesOur outside window faced one of the busy Medina streets and it was noisy till late. Like the guidebooks say, it’s a bit hard to find. Google led us astray, however lots of people seemed to know where it was and we found it in no time. Not many restaurant choices—obviously no fault of the Dar.
Of the Dars we stayed in for our week-long trip to Morocco, this one was our favorite. We were greeted with mint tea and cookies upon arrival. A great touch! The combination of a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the atrium made it stand out. We especially enjoyed mint tea on the terrace after an afternoon of touring the Medina. If only they had beer! Great view of the Medina up there. We also had breakfast on the terrace. Great start to the day!

NetherlandsLocation in the middle of the Medina was incredible - especially in the evening hours, when the Medina was almost empty. The central hall of the hotel is amazing, decoration & level of craftsmanship incredible. Rooms were comfy, our beds a little to short - but hey, who cares in such a nice surrounding! Hosts were very nice.

United StatesIt would be nice to provide a key for the front door though when you knocked it was quickly opened (just prefer not bothering someone to get up and open it)
I was planning on staying one night in Meknes but stayed two, part of the reason was how much I loved this place. (Another is that Meknes was very interesting even though some things are still closed. It was nice to be planted in the heart of medina without a souvenir shop). This riad was the best I stayed at in Morocco and yes that sounds a bit trite given that in so many riad reviews people say it was the best. I stayed in four riads during this trip and this one was indeed superior. Every riad had a great breakfast, but here was better. They all had a nice terrace but here was better. They all had a warm welcome but here was better. The interior design here was better... The list continues. The room was big and what a gorgeous design, it was unique and special. On top of all that this place is an extreme value.

United StatesThe location of this property was good. Central and close to the Old Medina attractions. Interesting rooms with second floors and felt clean and authentic. The breakfast was timely, cleaned and pleasant. Rashid, the property manager is kind, accommodating, social and helpful. He guided us well and arranged, tours, taxis and let us stay longer as a courtesy while we were waiting for our ride to Fez. That was exceptional! I am most appreciative of that as no one goes above and beyond like that. They are nice people and would highly recommend this property

United StatesRachid, the manager, was extremely welcoming and attentive to guest needs. He endeavored to make the Riad feel like home for any traveler. The other staff work seamlessly with him to ensure that Dar Meknès is a warm and receptive environment. The beautiful 400 year old Riad's restoration is also a bonus.
