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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

ItalyThe bathroom is a bit small, but unique. It’s an experience in itself. And in any case, everything is so magical that, in the end, it doesn’t matter.
The property is beautiful, with an amazing location in the heart of the Medina. Moha and Abdul are exceptional hosts: charismatic, welcoming, and always available. After just a few hours, you already feel at home. When I return to Marrakech, I’ll definitely choose Hostel Dar Ben Youssef again!

AustraliaThere are a lot of stairs (typical for a riad) the showers are on the bottom level, breakfast is on the top- so you will need to walk them all. Toilets on all levels. Cleanliness was good, not great. A little tricky to find initially. I do recommend this one and I’d stay here again.
This was truely a home away from home. We felt welcome, comfortable,safe and relaxed in this Riad. The location is good, central but not too far from the edge. Has food right next door and a great breakfast spread. There is a lovely rooftop terrace for breakfast and relaxing. The staff have great tips and advice and will recommend and direct you.

Portugalafter midnight some streets on the medina center are closed, so be aware of the local "helpers"/"guides", they will charge you a lot after getting you to the hostel, and can get very persistent.

United KingdomThe staff were very friendly. The terrace was one of the highest in the area meaning the view was exceptional. Owing to the fancy decor and fast WiFi, the foyer and terrace were great for both working and socialising! The location is very central in the heart of the madina and those working around the area are also very friendly. The hostel is very beautiful and the facilities are clean, well kept and good quality. I really enjoyed my time there.

SpainI didn't like that one of the employees demanded a resort fee, I know he cheated me. Resort fee 2.5 euros per day per person, if the hotel has such fees they should have informed about it in advance and I should have received a bill for it which I didn't. And the employee informed me that he wouldn't give me such confirmation.
