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.).

This is a gem, the room is decorated so well we felt like staying in a palace. The location is also great, you can walk to the blue gate in 10-12 mins. The host (Kenza) speaks great English and helped us with several logistics during our trip. The restaurant has very good Moroccan food and the breakfast is to die for. The highlight for us though was the gentleman employee who treated our son like his own grandson. E didn’t speak much English but our son called him grandpa by the time we left. He got our son hot chocolate and fruits every morning and also took him walking while we were waiting for our tour bus one morning. It’s one of the those unexpected things that we will never forget.

We had contact at the riad with just one person which was very nice and kind. Breakfast is ok, I suppose typical marrocan breakfast, the same every day

CanadaI had a wonderful experience at Palais Laraichi. This is a beautiful family owned and operated Riad that is conveniently located next to the Medina. They will organize a taxi for a fee to and from the airport that will bring you door to door. I received a warm welcome from the staff and was served mint tea upon arrival. The restaurant and rooms are stunning. I loved the traditional Moroccan decor and spacious rooms. The beds are very comfortable, and the showers have good pressure. The included breakfast is delicious. Their restaurant serves some of the best food in Fes. I was treated like family. I highly recommend Palaise Laraichi.

What a wonderful Riad! We initially walked past it on the street and admired the how beautiful the restaurant on the ground floor looked, before realising that it was part of the Riad we had booked. The host family really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time in Fès, offering helpful advice, drivers, guides, assistance printing, access to our room after we had checked out, and delicious mint teas. We were really touched by their kindness and hospitality. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to eat dinner in the restaurant itself, but judging by the lovely breakfast spread we had each morning, we can imagine it would be great.

A beautiful Riad close to the Medina but at the same time far away from the hustle and bustle. Riad resembles a museum, you feel like being transported back to 18th century. Very clean Breakfast was amazing and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. If you are staying in Fes I recommend this Riad.

United StatesThe only issue that bothered me was the stiffness of the mattress, but that has been the case in every hotel we stayed at.
We liked the hospitality of the owner and staff the most. Owner gave us lots of tips throughout the stay. Breakfast was good and location was awesome (near Medina, but not too noisy). Highly recommended.

United KingdomA family run riad who were very polite and exceeded our expectations. We drove to the riad and parked comfortably next to it although little busy because it is close-by to one of the gates of the Medina. The owner himself greeted us with smile and offered us Moroccan tea and cookies while they checked us in. The owner arranged a tour guide for us who was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. We were offered tea and water every time we passed the reception. The staff was also very polite and helpful especially Abdul Latif who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We left early in the morning and the owner's wife made sure we have the breakfast(great options for the breakfast) before we leave and the last but not least the owner dropped us to the train station!

United StatesI only stayed one night due to rerouting after the earthquake so not much time spent there. The kids speak perfect English, but I don't think the parents speak any. So if they are at the desk, you will want to use a translation app or a lot of hand signals.
The staff was very friendly in this small, family run hotel. They helped with my bags and greeted me with mint tea as is the custom. Rooms were nice, clean and well appointed, if a little cramped. I had dinner there and the lamb tagine was delicious. The hotel should be easy to get to by taxi as it's on the road (though my shady driver dropped me off at the medina gate and I had to lug my bags several blocks - it should be super easy to get from a cab to the hotel).
