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 StatesThere is a room for improvement in everything, but I can't think of just pick one thing. The only issue we had was the long and steep walk from the gate. It should be mentioned in the property description, and someone should be sent to the entrance to help with the luggage.
It was a good location, close to everything. The service was wonderful. Wadi and Mohamed were very helpful. The home cooked breakfast was nice.

United StatesWe did not realize we needed to pay in cash - it was not a problem but would be better to know ahead of time to be more prepared.
The decor is lovely and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Lots of nice touches like a bowl of fresh fruit in our room. Breakfast each day was freshly prepared and we had a wonderful authentic Moroccan dinner there one night as well. The host is very friendly and accommodating and speaks multiple languages fluently.

United StatesI did not like that I only booked this place for two nights. We could have stayed for three weeks!
Like the name implies, it is a PALACE! Ancient regal architecture, mosaic tilework, carved plaster, and located in the old Medina. Our room had canopy beds, a patio overlooking the city, access to the rooftop where we could sip wine under a full moon. The staff was friendly and attentive and supplied us with our youthful guide Yousef,who easily took us throughout the most complicated maze of a city I have yet journeyed. We were lucky to have had breakfast and dinner at the Fes Palacete because it was the same as going to a multi-star restaurant. Many times my wife and i would look at each other in disbelief that we could stay in such a wonderful place.. We are both grateful for memories we can share for the rest of our lives.

United StatesThe location is tricky, but if you use guides it is not an issue
This Riad was the most memorable event of our stay in Fez. We reserved a suite with a terrace, what we received was a literal palace that we had all to ourselves. The Riad dates back to 1363 and took 11 years to rebuild to its current Andalusian style palace. I have travelled extensively worldwide, but I never stayed in a palace. The location is a bit tricky, but it is well worth the experience. The staff was helpful in organizing transfers and guides and really stepped up to check on me when I was ill and bedridden for a day.

United StatesThe room was fairy tale beautiful. This old Riad is a truly authentic experience. We took the top 'suite' room with the balcony - with a view over the whole medina. It was worth it - and if you have the option I recommend doing so. The location is about 10 minutes walk from the hustle of the busy market streets. That can be good or bad depending on your preference. Just be aware. For us it was great - every time we left the Riad we were faced with the challenge of finding it on the way back... which added to the magic of the medina. Be aware that the old town is a 3 dimensional maze, and every time you walk the streets you will be challenged.

It is a real palace, even the smallest detail seems to come out of a museum! Our room was huge, finely decorated. The stay was like a fairy tale, I can't imagine a better place to stay in Fez. The location in the heart of the Medina is also excellent. And in the evening you can dine at the Riad an excellent traditional Moroccan meal. It is worth mentioning the efficiency and kindness of Sanae, who solved all our needs.

United StatesStair, lots of stairs. If you have mobility issues, it's a problem. The pillow was too hard, but the bed was comfortable and the toiletries were amazing.
It's a real, stunning 14th moorish palace! I spent hours just sitting there marveling at the architectural and design details. It's like staying in a museum that also has comfortable sleeping arrangements. It's a fairytale level place. Sanae was absolutely amazing, she was always there ready to make our stay even more perfect, without being intrusive. We stayed for 3 days and it wasn't enough. Location is ideal, close to a great souk where we bought our food from the friendly vendors, within 15-20 minutes walk to the popular tourist attractions, though every street really is one. The only downside of Fes is hecklers, constantly praying on the tourists, but it's a price you are paying for experiencing this endless wonder. We are dreaming about coming back with a group of friends..Thank you Sanae and another wonderful lady who served a wonderful breakfast!

United StatesWe had to walk from a medina gate to the Riad. It is uphill coming back to the parking lot. But the Riad staff carried most the heavy luggage.
This location is away from hustle and bustle of Fes Medina, but still inside the medina and we could walk to our destinations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They accompanied us several times to get to different area inside the medina as we would get lost easily. One night we got distracted by a group of young men, and we contacted the Riad staff came and got us. Our dinner one night (lamb tajin) was delicious, so were all the breakfasts. The rooms were so beautiful and grand, and we felt like royalty.
