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...).

NorwayThe AC in the bedroom didn’t work, the weather made it okey, but on a warmer day it would have been hard to sleep. The breakfast was good and cheap, but lacked variation.
Beautiful Riad with great location, the room was big and clean. We enjoyed it very much

AustraliaThe room became quite stuffy when the windows were closed because there is no Aircon or fan
The Riad was right in the middle of the action and the room was very nice. The concierge was the nicest staff member of all.

ItalyFor some reason, the air vent in the bathroom had been closed, thus there was no air flowing in the bathroom and the floor never dried up from the last cleaning. Every time we got into the room, we were welcomed by the smell of mold. The bed was possibly the least comfortable I have ever slept in, and both of us woke up with backache.
The overall aspect of the hotel was pleasant and welcoming, with a big common terrace to enjoy. I liked the breakfast in the courtyard.

United KingdomHome comforts were not there. The bed was very hard and the bathroom turned into a wet room each time you had a shower. The breakfast was poor and there was no coffee making facility in the room.
The location was excellent. In the middle of the medina. Walking distance to the port and beach. The riad was full of character and very exotic. The roof terrace was beautiful.

United KingdomWe stayed in two different rooms during our visit, and neither were exactly as advertised- it’s hard to tell from the photos what the room will be like and where it is in the riad.
A beautiful interior courtyard gave a tranquil space to relax and unwind after being in the bustling medina. The roof terrace was a great place to sunbathe and watch the streets below.

United KingdomBathroom not good - mirror too low for shaving even on one's knees! Broken shower door, badly draining. The courtyard is cold in the mornings, need to wear a coat at breakfast. The riad hosted a school party on our last night which was noisy at night, though the students were polite.
Breakfast was quite good - they offered hot pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice. Staff very helpful. Rooms comfortable and heater provided. Fresh roses in vases everywhere. Lovely roof terrace. Perfect location.
