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...).

IrelandThis is such a fantastic Riad and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We arrived after 11pm and they kindly met us at our taxi to walk us to the Riad and had a beautiful private meal ready for us on arrival. It was also the 10 year wedding anniversary of my sister and her husband and they arranged a beautiful floral display in their room on request. Cannot recommend this Riad enough. 10/10 I will be back! Thank you team Riad Assala!

JapanWe booked a taxi from the airport through Booking.com. The driver dropped us off right outside the Medina and wished us luck getting to the Riad. After walking about 10 minutes we couldn’t find the entrance to the Riad. It is very hard to find using Google Maps and we had to pay someone on the street to show us how to get there. Maybe it’s better if you book a transfer directly with the riad but just be aware it’s hard to find.
Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast. In heart of the Medina.

United KingdomI had to go through narrow alleys and low tunnel like routes to get to the Riad. The Riad was not easy to find. There was a door and a mirror in the room - it looked as if the room was being used as a storage place. The shower unit needs to be fixed. I would have preferred a door to the bathroom - instead of a curtain I don't think the bathroom looks pleasing to the eye. Once the doors are closed - there is not enough natural light in the room.
The bed was very comfortable The staff were friendly and helpful The breakfast was adequate The courtyard was a nice place to relax The views from the top of the Riad were good The facilities were satisfactory

Amazing stay, would highly recommend!!! Book this riad!!! I cannot stress how kind and lovely the staff were, very helpful to deal with. Very nice interior and rooftop to relax on. Very clean, and great location. The breakfast was yummy, different bread and spreads and an omelette with coffee and tea. Airport transfer was easy, and someone from the riad will meet you at the taxi and navigate you through the busy Medina.

NetherlandsThere honestly isn't much not to like about the Riad. It was perfect.
Me and my friends had an amazing time at Riad Assala. Ahmed truly went out of his way to give us the most pleasant stay. He told us all about the best attractions in the city and made amazing breakfast. There were many lounges in the patio and on the rooftop to relax and a refreshing pool to cool down from the heat. I would highly recommend this riad to anyone who is looking for a safe, comfortable stay in a great location of the Medina.

IrelandI could not fault the Riad at all.
Mustapha looked after us on our arrival. He came to meet us at the edge of the Medina to help us with our bags. We received mint tee and biscuits on arrival also. Rooms were cleaned daily, breakfast was lovely and the pool was amazing for a dip. Room is a great size, really well air-conditioned. Rooftop was cool. Mustapha also helped organize us an airport transfer for the way home, which another staff member helped us carry the bags to. I have never experienced hospitality quite like what we received from this family, and we have stayed in 5 star hotels around europe. Hats off to you! Thank you for having us.

They were incredibly kind and helpful organising tours, meals, greeting us at our drop off point and escorting us to our accommodation.

United KingdomIt would be great to have some fruit with the breakfast... It was a lot of bread for us. We didn't really like the location. It's very central for the souk, which some people might love. But because of that, we were harassed a lot on the street. The area is a real maze and there were people trying to misdirect us so they could show us the way and then demand money. This meant that we didn't really feel safe. Personally we would choose to stay outside of the Medina in the future and to visit during the day.
The riad is very stylish and comfortable and the staff very friendly. The roof terrace is a great place to relax and WiFi was available everywhere so I could get some work done in the sun, too! Breakfast was pretty good and decent portions.
