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...).

FranceOnly little twinge was although breakfast was sumptuous, it was between 8.30 and 9am! Only half hour opportunity so we had to set alarm to not miss breakfast!
Very well placed inside blue gate so two main thoroughfares to Medina on each side. Also not hidden deep in medina! Very peaceful. Immaculate. Great terrace. Helpful staff.

United StatesI did not take their tours. But other guests we met booked a 3 hour walking tour but was taken on a 5 hour tour and the guide demanded the price for the 5 hour even when they left after 3 hours. Riad Farah should look into this. There are a lot of stairs to climb if your room is on the top floor. But I think that’s true of all or most Riads.
Great friendly staff. We were greeted by Mohammad who gave us an informative presentation on Fez, what to do and what not to do. Eman and Mustafa were wonderful— always smiling and ready to answer our questions and help. They were joyful and made our stay very pleasant. They speak English and communication was easy. The chef Nezah (not sure I am spelling the name right), is an excellent cook. Eat here at least one meal. Rooms were cleaned and Towels changed everyday

AustriaOn the first evening the heating of our air-conditioning device did not work. The staff took care of it and it was repaired quickly.
Tucked away in the vibrant medina of Fes, Riad Farah is an oasis of tranquility and elegance. This riad is the perfect example of honouring the traditional Moroccan charm and still fulfilling all the modern amenities needed. The central courtyard, with its serene fountain, is a peaceful haven where you can unwind after exploring the bustling streets of the medina. The riad’s intimate size makes it feel like a private retreat, offering a level of calm and seclusion that larger hotels can’t replicate. The staff at Riad Farah was exceptional. They greeted us with a refreshing glass of mint tea upon arrival and provided personalized service throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure every need was met—whether it was helping with directions, arranging transport, or recommending the best local eateries. Their warmth and attention to detail truly made the experience unforgettable. Special thanks to Omar, Maria and Anuar who made our stay the most beautiful of all Riad experiences in Morocco! Furthermore, one of the most wonderful experiences was the cooking class we took with Chef Omar! Very recommended! He did not only show us the art of cooking with a Tajine but went to the market with us, sharing his insightful knowledge about Morocco and the Amazigh culture. A very warm-hearted THANK YOU for this special experience!

BelgiumRiad Farah is not only a beautiful riad, but also a place where you immediately feel at home thanks to the lovely personnel working there. Specific thanks for Mustapha and Imane who showed tremendous hospitality, helped me learning some basic phrases of Darija to get around and gave lots of tips on what to do in Fes. The breakfast is also out of this world, and probably the best I've had in Morocco. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

MoroccoI had an amazing stay at Riad Farah in Fez The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I especially loved the unique touch of naming each room after a city, with beautiful color themes. I stayed in the Meknes Room, which was decorated in a lovely green, creating a peaceful and relaxing ambiance. The hospitality was exceptional, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. I highly recommend this riad to anyone looking for an authentic and comfortable stay in Fez .

United StatesPros: very easy to find from the blue gate of the medina (clear instructions and signs, quick walk, safe area), friendly staff, clean rooms, very good breakfast and lunch (the breakfast was included, lunch and dinner were affordable), staff are friendly and flexible with requests and checkin and out times and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of, beautiful terrace on the roof with a nice view, mint tea is complimentary and really good Cons: mostly nitpicky stuff, but: the rooms aren't very soundproofed so if you have an issue with noise and go to bed early it can be a challenge; however the quiet time after 11 is respected. We did have to remind staff a couple times that they promised us a to go breakfast, there was some language confusion. The shower head took some getting used to but worked fine But overall I would highly recommend riad Farah as an affordable comfortable and safe option for your stay

United States Minor Outlying IslandsIf I could give more stars, I absolutely would! My stay at Riad Farah was hands down the best experience I’ve had in Morocco. This beautiful riad, located right in the heart of the Medina, is incredibly easy to find. Mohammad, Omar, and the entire team are truly amazing. They go above and beyond to help you get settled in, offer great recommendations for places to visit, and arrange any trips or activities you’re interested in. They work tirelessly to ensure your stay is nothing short of perfect. Staying here feels more like being welcomed into a family than just booking a place to sleep. The riad is impeccably clean, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. Plus, the view from the rooftop is simply breathtaking! Make sure to book a cooking class with Omar during your stay he’s incredible! He’ll take you to the market to shop for the freshest ingredients, teach you about finding the best spices, and share fascinating insights into Moroccan history and traditions. A huge thank you to everyone at Riad Farah for making my stay unforgettable. I can’t wait to return someday!

United KingdomThe room was up four flights of winding stairs. It didn't have a wardrobe or chest of drawers, just a shelf to put all our clothes. The small bathroom shelf sloped downward so things kept falling off.
The location between the two main streets of the Medina was excellent and the Riad was quite easy to find. The staff were fantastic ... really helpful. Our room was on at the top, so had easy access to the roof terrace and a relaxing lounge area. The breakfast was quite good.

ItalyEveryone at Riad Farah is really nice! The location is great, just a few minutes from the Blue Gate. They organise taxis to and from the airport and take you to the riad. The food is really good and local. Breakfast can be enjoyed from the terrace overlooking the panorama and everything is Moroccan style. Amazing! The only note to consider: we had the room on the ground floor where there is a courtyard for breakfast so from 8.30am there is some little noise. If you can, ask for the room on the upper floors.

GreeceThe breakfast could have been richer, i.e. with less different types of bread and instead some fruit or cheese. The bathroom was a bit cold and the water pressure was uneven, often alternating between hot and cold.
The Riad is fantastic, in the heart of the historic centre, close to taxis etc. It is a heritage building, very well maintained.and nicely decorated, super clean and peaceful, smelling like orange blossoms and with quality Arabic music playlist in the atrium! Mr. Mustafa, the young concierge of the night shift who also serves the breakfast, is very kind, professional, well mannered and knows the job well. He was always there to help us out, to listen and answer to our questions and accommodate our needs. The room is spacious and very pretty, comfortable and warm due to the A.C., also with enough blankets, duvet etc. The breakfast was good (it had freshly squeezed orange juice and a small omelette, olives, marmalade, honey, Nutella, butter, tea, coffee and a lot of bread in different types). We would recommend Riad Farah and we're looking forward to visiting again!

United StatesOnly that music was playing in the dining area ( the wooden shutters on the windows don’t offer much sound proofing) in the center of the riad every night until 10:30 or 11 pm.
The staff was wonderful. The room was large and comfortable. The breakfast was good. The location was good and bad. It is right between the two main streets through the Medina, with the majority of the shops and the good restaurants, and close to all the sights. However, this also means that it is noisy in the evening, fortunately not much past 11pm.
