Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

FranceNothing. But just keep in mind this is a guesthouse more than a hotel so adjust your expectations when booking.
I loved that this place strikes the perfect balance between a hotel and an Airbnb. I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable in this beautiful house, which is conveniently located within walking distance of all the main attractions in the Medina. What truly made my stay unforgettable, however, was the hospitality of the hotel manager, Abdenabi. He was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my visit, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. If you’re looking for an authentic, traditional experience with a personal touch, I can’t recommend this place enough.

ItalyDar Chrif Idrissi is located inside the Medina, but not too far from the Medina gate, so it is convenient to come there by taxi, and you just have to walk a little bit to reach the house. Abdennabi, the host, was nice and helpful beyond expectations. He speaks good English, he ensures your stay is comfortable, he helps with local food, guided tours or any other need you might have. We were pleased to stay in Dar Chrif Idrissi and we recommend this place.

IrelandI would highly recommend this lovely house. My partner and I were looked after with such warm hospitality and were made to feel completely at home. The location is ideal- very close to everything without being on a super touristy street. There's a lovely hammam right around the corner, lots of food and produce stalls nearby (with access to the kitchen, we were able to pick up bits to cook for ourselves when we didn't feel like dining out), and it's a pleasant stroll to the main shopping streets. The breakfast, made by a really lovely woman, is delicious, and was served on the roof terrace with amazing views.

I use this as a way to thank the host! He was exceptionally welcoming and caring! I arrived and left sick, but he took care of me the whole time. Checking on me if I was ok, If I needed anything. He bought me special food and drinks which I needed at the time and he didn't want to take any reimbursement of even a tip for it. He offered to cook dinner for me and to show me how to cook a traditional tangine. As the hotel is not so easy to find, he came to pick me up from a place nearby 2 times. He also told me some history and information about Fes, and thought me a few words in Arabic. As a woman travelling alone, I felt very safe and comfortable here (not a given in the country). My room was comfortable, quite, with clean sheets and towels, and had a radiator which I could use to heat up the room. The hotel is beautiful, has a very nice roof terrace on the top.

Abdul is very helpful to ensure everything we need is fulfilled. He provided the meeting point and picked us up and escorted us to the riadh. He was fast response. He helped us with hot water for us to make cup noodles. He helped us arrange transportation the next morning as we had to go to the bus station early in the morning. The facility is worth the price, it is a small room but still convenient even though we had two pieces of luggage and two backpacks. The room is rather warm although winter. The bed is convenient, the bathroom is also convenient, a towel is provided, but bring your own toiletries.

Great location, market is right outside the door. Nice sweet decoration details throughout the property. Most importantly, the manager Abdennabi is a great man, his service started from days before arrival. He picked me up from the nearest bank where my driver found it easily and he helped me with my luggage to the room. He even arranged takeaways for dinner as it was late. He provided travel information and sent warm messages after I left.

GermanyFor inexperienced travelers, at first arrival, it may be challenging to find the place. But the host will guide you, even personally come to pick you up and walk you to the riad.
Beautiful interior. Great rooftop terrace with views above the entire medina. Amazing host who went out of his way to make sure i was well taken care of. Almost like having your private in house butler 😁

United KingdomThis Riad is inside the medina so the location is perfect. The host is nice and helpful. From the train station/airport you would arrive at Place RCIF because the cars can't go inside the medina from where the host will pick you up. Just like everything else in Fes medina, its impossible to find it yourself so don't try - thats part of the fun in Fes Medina! For the price (26 Euros) for the night, its definitely worth it. They have a terrace with views of the city. Pro tip: If you want to experience a stay in Riad, you should definitely go for it but otherwise its narrow, steep stairs so it was a struggle with luggage and if you have any mobility issues, a Riad is not for you. Most of the rooms don't have any windows either so it can feel claustrophobic. Its not just this Riad but any.

NetherlandsAbdennabi met us at the place where we arrived by taxi. Which was extremely helpful to easily find the way to the hotel. The riad was steeped in charm and character. Abdennabi was helpful in guiding us through the labyrinth of the bazaar. He shared his knowledge and was always ready to help out and point us to some nice places to visit. He definitely made our stay more pleasant. On the last day he offered to help us to get on a taxi to the busstation. We had a lovely stay in Fes.

MoroccoI don't if it my sensitive allergy towards dust or I just caught a cold but every time i get to my bedroom I always start sneezing, nevertheless the place was very clean and spotless. My roommates complained to the host about the wifi's connection being poor, the host clarified that all the surrounding area suffers from the same problem, I used my personal data so it wasn't a big deal for me.
I liked staying at dar chrif idrissi it was like staying in an art museum but a one that is rich of fes culture from very different aspects. I also liked how we been treated by our hosts especially mr. Abdennabi who was very attentive to our feedback and demands and very educative in terms of fes historical aspects, He even gave us a very detailed map of the old city of fes and with his guidance we were able to cover all the main spots in Medina.

ItalyWe have enjoyed our stay at Dar Chrif Idrissi. Its located in the heart of Medina. The rooms are small but clean. Terrace has wonderful view. Breakfast is amazing! We want to thank our host again, for his wonderful help and guidance. Upon arrival, he met us, helped with luggage and guided us through Medinas labirynths. Without his help we would have been lost. He was also very kind to provide all information about the city and restaurants. We had to leave to the airport at 3AM, he organized the travel, helped us with the luggage again and took us to the driver. It was very much appreciated and again, without him we would have totally been lost. (Medina is not safe during the day, imagine at night hours!!!) thank you very much and we would absolutely return again!
