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.).

AustraliaExpect some street noise until late in the evening as everyone is close in Fez.
The staff were excellent and the property was full of character . It was very convenient to the Blue Gate entrance to the Medina and you could get a taxi to the door. Breakfast was great and dinner was very nice (ensure you are hungry) and it is well located for other quality and good value places to eat.

PortugalIt was a great pleasure to stay at Riad Dar Laura: superb location (you won’t be lost in Medina, easy to find, close to the entrance to Medina and to various cafes and restaurants), very clean, super delicious breakfast, high level of hospitality and service. In reality it was even better than in photos. You feel the family type of business from the day one: everything is done with great love.

United StatesNo negatives- Continued review- I recommend pajamas & winter jacket as the room and interior of the Riad gets cool yet the bedding was warm & pajamas are not needed. The bathroom was comfortably warm but fogs with a lasting humidity from your shower if the bathroom doors are not open. A wall ac unit is available for the summer. Breakfast is served to you in the morning. Sit down, enjoy your coffee as an assortment of goods are brought to your table along with fresh pressed orange juice. Dinner is available at the Riad as well, make your request & book ahead so they can prepare. On the edge of the Medina, perfectly located to get in & out of the city easily & quickly. Quiet!!! Taxis just around the corner along with atm, currency exchange, convenience shops and easy access restaurants to include Cinema Cafe- excellent camel burger & very good simple menu with fair pricing. We are a pair of well experienced & researched travelers. We can only recommend. Enjoy your stay at Riad dar Laura & well wishes to their future!!!
During the time of our visit, March 2024, the Riad had only been open five months. Mohammed, part owner was exceptionally caring. The Riad is entirely restored & renovated with meticulous attention to detail. The woodwork is absolutely beautiful along with the detailed Moorish plasterwork. Truly a work of art to enjoy. A warm, friendly staff to assist you with your needs and a special thanks to Imane, office manager, who helped with my many questions. Communication by message was excellent! On arrival, you are invited to relax with freshly brewed mint tea in the beautiful common room. Rooftop terrace to relax, enjoy a mint tea or dine with a great view over the city’s edge. A nice elevator on the premises. All tours/ experiences/ transport can be booked by Riad dar Laura as well as restaurants & guides to take you to your restaurants. Airport transports were reasonably priced, booked ahead & on time. We had a 2am departure that went smoothly. We requested a Medina guide for sights & quality shopping. We had Mohammed, (TripAdvisor: The Best Fes Guide,) with a lifetime of experience growing up in the Medina. You will be well taken care of. We also had a day trip to Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes with a private driver. My only recommendation for tours, ask the Riad who to pay at the end of your tour! We booked the last room available, the deluxe room. Unaware on our arrival, we were upgraded to the Superior Queen Room- Ghita. Gorgeous & large comfortable space on the main floor for easy access. Lovely bathroom with a large counter space, a blowdryer, shower & excellent lighting. Firm, comfortable mattress with three pillow choices for all sleeping needs and beautiful, comfortable linens. Two electrical outlets on each bedside with more available in the room. A lounging space with sumptuous couch upholstery and pillows with a light switch for brighter lighting in the nook- you’d miss the switch if you weren’t looking.

We really loved our stay. A beautiful place, a great room, breakfast included, dinner for purchase if you want it, restaurants and sites in every direction. It's on the edge of the medina, so an easy place to explore from. We were greeted as we arrived and had a chance to ask questions, plan for the next day, etc. This was our first stop in Morocco, so that really helped. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

PolandIn the night you could hear some noise in the street but this was not very inconvenient.
The location is perfect - in medina but you can reach the place by car and park the car 150m from the hotel safely. All interesting places in medina are in walking distance. The riad is large and has many rooms but at the same time you do not feel presence of the other people. It is nicely designed in a traditional way but it also has modern facilities like the lift inside. The rooms and the bed are very convenient. The team was always very nice and helpful and you could always feel owners hospitality. Breakfasts - excellent. Overall this is in my view clear 10.
