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.).

PortugalAs soon as I entered the hotel I felt a terrible smell that was all over poor and bad breakfast in buffet.
I find a shame how come this hotel continues to belong to the chain Châteaux and Realais

United KingdomVery noisy. Riad structure means you hear everything once they start to prepare breakfast or anyone else gets up so bring earplugs. I get that the courtyard is an outside space but this still shouldn't mean people can smoke while you're trying to eat breakfast!
Location is great, its really the only option around the medina for a decent hotel. Decor is nice and rooftop pool is lovely

United StatesI stayed at many places over the course of 3 weeks in morocco. HB was the most expensive and least charming. Place feels a bit sterile and staff a bit stiff. Not good value

United KingdomThe only place in the hotel that was 5* was the sitting area for breakfast & dinner which are beautiful! We were given a room that smelt damp & was dirty. We were then given another room & the shower hadn’t been used for so long that the drain was blocked & flooded all over the floor. Went to get a towel of the rail & the whole towel rail fell off the wall! They sent 2 women to clear the mess up & fix the rail back on the wall. The balcony was dirty. Staff were nice, breakfast was nice, but the rooms definitely need updating to call it a 5* hotel.

United StatesOutdated rooms especially given it’s a 5star hotel, no functioning AC due to Covid (although we really don’t see the correlation!) which is not so much because it was hot but rather for the stuffiness and moldy smell of the room. The windows are not sound proof so any noise from the street and the announcements from the mosque at 5am woke us up.
