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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomFor Rabat, it was excellent, as good as I have seen.
The hotel was right in the middle of the Medina, so you could walk to the main market within 5 minutes. Great location, very warm welcome and tour from the hosts, relaxing atmosphere, excellent roof terrace, nice coffee juice fruit and pastries for breakfast.

United StatesWe opted to have dinner here and only several other people had dinner as well. The tagine was not up to par, the chicken was skimpy and the wine was several days old. The complaints were also voiced by the other quests. The service was great but unfortunately he was a bit at a disadvantage. I discussed the dinner problems with the staff and they agreed and said to tell management of the issue. Other than dinner, we would stay here again without a second thought.
The room in this riad was exceptional in every respect. The staff were very amiable and helpful with plans for visiting the medina and the other sights. The breakfast was very good.

The purified water machine (hot and cold) was an excellent amenity - so much better than using up plastic bottles. The location was excellent!!

We had an amazing time in Dar Shâan, a very beautiful and tastefully decorated hotel. The views from the rooftop are fantastic. Pity we only stayed one night. Staff is very welcoming and the location is excellent to see what Rabat has to offer.

AustraliaWhat didn’t I like? My only complaint would be some more offerings at the continental breakfast… juice and fresh fruit would do it. Not every traveller enjoys only savoury meats and salad for breakfast.
Our night in Rabat was meant to be just a stop to break the driving journey between Marrakech and Tangier. Jumped on Booking.com and picked Dar Shann but didn’t have any expectations either way. It turned out to be one of the more beautiful properties we stayed at during our eight weeks away. After parking our hire car in the aptly named Avenue Laalou, we walked down a beautiful laneway to the door of this delightful accommodation The Riad is beautifully and authentically decorated with carefully chosen Moroccan tiles and vibrant and welcoming colours. The bed was one of the more comfortable I have slept in with plenty of room to move around it. The room contained a safe and lockable glass front doors and the shower was amazing.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Dar Shâan and would recommend it to anyone staying in Rabat. It is beautifully decorated throughout with a tranquil, leafy central courtyard and several roof terrace areas with a lovely small pool. The bed was very comfortable with high quality linen and it was the only Riad we stayed in that had a separate toilet in addition to the shower. The staff were so welcoming and helpful - we had great support from Ayoub and the rest of the team. The Riad is a short walk from the majestic Oudaya and the beach, with spectacular views of the coastline. It is also within the walls of the medina and it’s wonderful to wander through the maze of streets taking in all the sights and sounds.

An exceptional Riad in the Medina. A very short walk from where your taxi drops you off. Easy to find. Nicely decorated courtyard, breakfast/ diner room and rooftop terrace with small pool. Our room was beautiful with a comfortable bed. Water for the shower was hot. Each day breakfast was excellent as was the dinner we had one evening. As exceptional as the property was, the Riad's staff was even better. The staff to a person was extremely helpful. I had a medical issue requiring a trip to the emergency room. A staff member accompanied my wife by cab in the pouring rain to an ATM when the ATM near the Riad was out of currency. Staff arranged to have a doctor come to the Riad to assess how I should be treated. All staff members were genuinely concerned for my well being. Arrangements were made for a taxi to take me to hospital. When we returned late in the evening, having not eaten all day, we were served a meal in the breakfast/ dinner room. Staff member continually inquired about my well being and how they could help my wife and myself. The entire staff took all steps possible to make or stay comfortable and as stress free. We have never had such a positive hotel experience as that we had at Dar Shaan. We can't imagine any better place to stay in Rabat.
