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 KingdomMember of staff from the Riad met us at the taxi drop-off point to walk us through the twisting streets of the Medina - he kindly carried our bags for us after a long train from Marrakesh. The Riad itself felt like an oasis, very calm and quiet with a beautiful courtyard. Our room wasn't lacking any amenity we needed. The terrace upstairs was hugely relaxing and the sun beds and pool (heated) area were incredibly relaxing with fresh towels and drinks services from the attentive staff. Breakfast was fantastic with freshly made items, fruit salads and juices, even providing a 'breakfast bundle' to take with us for our early flight. We didn't have enough time to try the dinner but from other reviews and the other guests it sounded great as well. The main positive was how welcoming and kind the staff were. We were accompanied back to the taxi drop off site outside when we left.

AustraliaWater pressure of showers was sometimes poor during peak times but understandable in the middle of the Medina
Beautiful restored riad in excellent location within the Medina. Staff were really helpful and always enthusiastic. Very well organised reception who helped plan our stay and booked tours as we needed. Our Room was lovely and huge, with working fireplace that was lit each evening for us as requested. Very confortable beds and lovely view of courtyard below. Easy communication with reception using What’s ap from our rooms. They dealt with any queries we had promptly. Booked our restaurants for dinner each night. We also had dinner at the bistro at Laaroussa which served a delicious Moroccan/french menu. The Riad also organised our transport to the airport in Casablanca. We were driven by Omar who was very professional and helpful. A lovely stay. We love Riad Laaroussa’s commitment to sustainability with no single use plastics . Would highly recommend this riad.

United StatesThe stairs are very steep. Not just the stairwells, the stairs themselves are very tall and steep. It was not a problem for me, but I want to mention it so you know before you book. Don't sprint up the stairs and you'll be perfectly fine.
The staff was so kind and welcoming, and they offered great advice and guidance to get the most out of our trip to Fez. The riad is located in a great part of the medina, so you'll be close to everything you'll want to see. And, most of all, the riad offers such incredible comfort and amenities that you will be shocked that you're staying in the middle of a big, active city. This place is an oasis.

United KingdomThe only tiny thing I’d say is the restaurant could have more choice but the food we did have was delicious, with lovely breakfast options
A wonderful oasis in the midst of Fez - stunningly decorated with a beautiful rooftop terrace and very comfortable rooms. The staff are very attentive - we had a wonderful time exploring the city but loved refreshing ourselves by popping back for a mint tea on the roof before our next expedition! The hammam was a delight too with such friendly staff and very good value compared to others we saw in Marrakech. Since it was January, we also loved the little seating area by our room with a wood fire, kept regularly burning - a great place to relax after dinner. We only used the pool once but it’s a great size and lovely to lounge next to!

United KingdomThe steps are very steep if you are older. Or have mobility problems. They didn’t stop me but they slowed me down.
It is beautifully preserved Riad with a peaceful courtyard as you arrive. The rooftop terraces for restaurant is beautiful with views over the medina. The staff are young, energetic friendly and happy to help. There is a relaxed caring attitude and the d Corvus pared back but very tasteful. It was incredibly comfortable as well.

CanadaI have no negatives. Just be ready to climb those stairs which makes it all worthwhile once you do.
Our Room at the Riad was incredibly gorgeous. The bathroom was super clean and huge. The included breakfasts were exceptional. We loved this Riad. It was quirky, but traditional, with history, and ambiance. The staff were very friendly, and we loved the dining room staff. They work so hard, and we found the views at the top during dinner or lunch were incredible, and magical. The pool area was perfect as well. Pretty, and also quiet and private which I liked. No diners looking out at you as you swim which I appreciated. You have to climb stairs to get to the dining area, but thats also part of the charm. Its a work out as the stairs dont conform in size, but once you get to the roof top, it is worth those stairs. We also had stairs to our room. I would suggest if you have physical issues to get a room on the main floor.. I loved that the Riad gave you a little booklet with staff names, and information on the Riad, and food information etc. That was really helpful. We also loved that we could get a glass of wine on the rooftop. So nice at the end of the day to relax with wine or beer which is sometimes difficult to find in Morocco. Fes did have a few places to have a drink of the alcohol variety, but some were super spendy, so we did love to sit at the rooftop of our Riad with our wine in the evening. I also loved that the Riad was environmentally conscious and suggested the use of their water rather than bringing in plastic water bottles. This is an issue in Morocco, as restaurants etc automatically give you bottled water with meals etc. Too much plastic, and waste, so it was good that this Riad is aware of all of that. Our room was the Gray Room, and it was many stairs but oh so worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We loved our room. I highly recommend this Riad in Fes. Fun location as well, right in the medina.
