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 KingdomThe whole place was stunning. Beautiful communal areas and the attention to detail with the fixtures and furnishings were very impressive. All the staff we met were super helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and the advice about the Riad and surrounding areas was detailed and informative. Big thanks to all the staff especially Mohammed and Houda. Look forward to a return visit at some point.

United KingdomMayfez is a real gem of a place. We stayed for my partner’s 40th birthday and couldn’t have dreamed of anything more. Stunning rooms, peaceful courtyard, wonderful spa, and excellent food. The real stars are the staff though, especially Houda, Mohammed, Nadia, and our guide Abdul; they all went out of their way to make us feel like we were at home, and were always on hand to help with anything we needed. We can’t thank them enough for making it a truly special and memorable experience.

United Arab EmiratesThe best living experience during my twenty days in Morocco, every facility works well and the owner decorated the entire building with art-ware from every corner of the world, the breakfast is so satisfying with fresh juice and they change the menu every single day. They also provide the amazing Moroccan Hammam, it’s a must try experience and I fell asleep in ten minutes directly after doing the Hammam. The staff was so nice, Huda and Majeda like my sisters.

United StatesWe loved everything.
We loved everything. From the beautiful room to the clean common areas to the delicious food to the picturesque views that we received from our free upgraded room courtesy of Dominique the owner. The best part though by far was the amazing kind wonderful staff at the riad. Everybody was lovely but we spent the most time with Mohammed and he was so lovely and made us feel so at home. When we had arranged a walking tour with a meeting spot a few minutes down the road, he refused to let us walk alone and accompanied us to ensure we didn’t get lost. It was so kind of him and greatly appreciated in the confusing Medina streets. Overall this was the best hotel stay I’ve ever had. We felt so at home and comfortable and happy with every bit of the riad and our experience.

PortugalEverything was wonderful.
We fell in love with this Riad. Nomad chic but with the owners French touch... she has exquisite taste. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful, they gave 5 star service and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. My husband and I both enjoyed having a hamaam experience on site and my skin has never felt softer. On arrival we had a lovely dinner, food was excellent kudos to the chef. Houda arranged a Medina tour with Abdul for us and he was exceptional. Fes truly is a unique experience but one has to go with a open mind.

Very welcoming and professional workers. Architecture, design and decoration are amazing. Super clean and tidy, more than I imagined. From the hustle of the medina to the most relaxing setting of the riad. Spa and hamam were great. Fun billiard table to play on your free time.

GhanaThis place was fantastic. Straight up one of the best hotels my wife and I have ever stayed at. In terms of what we didn't like, it was more to do with the general hassling we received on the streets of Fez rather than the hotel. Every day we would have at least six people approach us with "where are you from?" "Where are you staying?" "I'm an official guide to the city, I charge less than everyone" and these people often would not respond to us politely trying to avoid and then end the interaction. One guy we had tried to avoid the day before waited outside our hotel and immediately started a 5 minute speech about how we need a guide as soon as we walked out. Our best day was when we took the hotel guide Abdul (who was more expensive, but a much better listener)
The spa treatment was amazing, the staff were very helpful and the food was great. Honestly a 10 out of 10 experience.

SwitzerlandHigher-quality pillows and bedding would be much appreciated. We had the feeling that we were sleeping on rather cheap pillows. But otherwise everything was great
Very beautiful place in the heart of the old Medina. You'd never expect such a large, open space full of greenery in the middle of the densely packed old medina. The staff was wonderful and was very attentive to anything we needed.

United StatesThere were only a few things that I did not like. 1st was the location within the Medina. The Riad is a little deep in the Medina and it's really easy to get lost. Secondly, a lot of pigeons were around the property. The pigeons would fly down to the pool to drink. Not sure what the property can do about it. It was one of the reasons we did not get in the pool. Lastly, bees, there were also bees flying around the pool and drinking from the pool. Again, not sure what the community could do, but if there is something it would make the pool experience that much more enjoyable.
The interior property of Riad Mayfez is absolutely amazing! Truly old charm. There are only six suites. The rooms are beautiful. Really stunning! The staff is amazing, top notch. They were there for my every request. Celebrated wife's 50th birthday. They went above and beyond to make it truly special for her. Brought her to tears. Dining room on property. We had trouble ordering food one night. Staff came together to prepare a last second meal. Staff was very accommodating to our every needs.
