Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

The property is beautiful. Done very tastefully. The rooms are a bit small but they are very nicely furnished.

NetherlandsWe chose the hotel for the pool , to relax in the afternoon . They said there was sun all day (until 5.30) , but it was not the case. We could sit at another terrace, and still got plenty of sun. The service around lunch and getting drinks was not very good: things were not available, we could not sit at the terrace. I would expect differently from a 5* hotel. Also, booking directly with them (live at the hotel) was more expensive then through booking.com. I thought they would be pleased, but the receptionist was not flexibel. So I booked online whilst being in the reception..a bit odd. But all in all it is a great place to stay whilst in Fez
Great location just outside the Medina. Nice restaurant on the top floor and really good breakfast on the terrace! Room (suite) was very nice, super comfy bed and nicely decorated. The pool is a great place to relax, although the water now was too cold.

The standout were the staff and at every level they were friendly and most accommodating. The concierge Brahim was a delight and kindly upgraded us to a suite. The hotel was spotless and grand, food excellent. The location is 5 mins by taxi to souk. Locals pay 20 dirham and tourists double. Quiet and spacious. excellent!

PhilippinesNothing major to highlight
1. Location was very good near from the old city and it’s mall 2. It was a big palace that was modified professionally to be use as hotel 3. The hotel finishing such the walls , ground , and decoration cannot be found in any hotel in fes 4. Free parking with a security protection . Nobody can enter unless he is staying inside 5. The team of the reception individuals were so nice ( سفيان ، اشرف ، ابراهيم ، فاطمه الزهراء ) , always they welcoming the hotel guests , in addition they offer they help for any need arise. I shall not forget the upgrade that I got from the hotel management .

MalaysiaNothing, we were so happy
The feel of this hotel is quite special, it really was an old palace in Fez. They have furnished it with period pieces and they have so many little rooms and areas to enjoy. The restaurant is very worth the visit as is the bar.

United States of AmericaThere were tiny ants in the bathtub area and in the living room in the wrapped food. Housekeeping vacuumed them up, but they insisted on returning.
The whole palais is beautiful. Our room had two levels with a "living room" on the first level and bedroom and bath on the second level. The swimming pool area is very nice for sunning and dipping. The restaurant has a great view and rooftop dining. The breakfasts are huge with lots of goodies and eggs to order. The food is excellent. The very nice staff did an excellent job of getting us to our excursions and restaurants.

United KingdomThe staff at the reception tried to be nice but they are very young and maybe inexperienced and missed a couple of occasions where they could display more attention. The spa might improve the general service, trying to be more professional and precise.
Perfect location to visit the Medina and amazing view. Beautiful palace and architecture in a lovely Moorish style. Spacious and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the food was scrumptious.

United States of AmericaWe did not find a single thing that was not up to or above our expectations.
I am almost at a loss for words to describe how much we enjoyed this hotel. It’s location, on the edge of the Medina is perfect for exploring this fascinating city but it can still be accessed by cars and touring vans. The property itself is gorgeous with several beautifully decorated courtyards, a stunning pool complex and amazing rooftop bars and restaurants. The bar even has a two for one happy hour on weekdays from 17:00 - 18:45. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and the service impeccable. The primary language used by the staff is French but all the staff were fluent in English. The service and view from the rooftop outdoor restaurant was perfect. Our standard room was small but it was decorated like a jeweled box. Moroccan tile on the floors and walls, ornate arched doorways, carved plaster accents, gorgeous wood cabinetry, a sumptuous bathroom and incredibly crisp bedding. The affable hotel manager was ubiquitous ensuring that all was in order and that guests were having a great experience. This was, by far, the best of the luxury hotels we visited in Morocco and honestly, it compared favorably to our favorite hotel ever, Ashford Castle in Ireland.
