Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Room was not available even at 5:30 pm. Mattress was cheap or old with springs pushing on my back. I asked for 2 extra pillows as we had very thin pillows but they said I can only get one as per their policy. Strange. Bed is the main item of comfort in a hotel room but the mattress was not comfortable at all. Water comes out of the bath shower area and makes outside area wet.
Cleanliness / cleaning staff. Shuttle to Haram. Included Breakfast. Qahwa & dates in the lobby.

This hotel is 15-20 mins walk to Madina mosque. It was very busy and shuttle is always full. They need to run more shuttles to accommodate guest volume so everyone get seat and space.

I liked it but needs improvement. Breakfast, shuttle service needs more focus from management. Clean hotel does not make it enough to accommodate families if they have to walk so much towards Haram especially with senior citizens or pay each time for taxi.

Unfortunately, my stay at Zaha Taiba Hotel was affected by several issues. The guests in the room next to us were very loud late into the night. When we brought this to the attention of the front desk, the reception staff responded rudely and showed little interest in helping resolve the situation. In addition, the location was not very convenient. There were no shops or basic services nearby, which made it difficult to get essentials. There was also a lot of construction going on in the surrounding area, which created noise and made the environment feel chaotic. While the hotel itself was clean, these problems made the stay far less comfortable than expected.
Zaha Taiba Hotel provided a clean and comfortable stay. The room was well-maintained, and the overall environment was quiet and orderly. The television offered free access to YouTube, which was a convenient feature. The Wi-Fi was functional, though the speed was somewhat slow. The hotel’s shuttle service was a strong point. The driver was courteous and helpful, contributing positively to the overall experience. This hotel is a suitable option for guests seeking a straightforward, well-managed place to stay.

Here’s a nice review you can use for Taiba Front Hotel in English: Review: I had a wonderful stay at Taiba Front Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The breakfast buffet was simply amazing with a wide variety of delicious options. I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madinah.

I’ll start of by saying this was one of the best hotels I’ve visited in the 2 holy cities. Since it’s fairly new the facilities were excellent, rooms were spacious and clean and the shower was amazing. The staff were also really good, brother Abdur Razak in particular was quite helpful. The breakfast was also extremely good and since it goes from 6am to 10am it’s good for children. The only thing I would point out is, it’s at least a 12-15 minute walk if you’re and adult and a brisk walker otherwise it can take up to 15-20 minutes. The walk is fairly straight, no hills on the way or any roads to cross. The hotel does provide a shuttle, fajr time it was between 3:30 and 4:00. And then I believe starting from 11:30am till after esha. A taxi is not a bad option also as many are waiting outside the hotel and charge from 10 to 15 riyals which is not bad considering the hotel is cheaper than most with the breakfast option. There is ample parking however I’m not sure if there’s a charge, don’t think there is as many cars were parked directly outside the hotel. Overall I would definitely come again and would recommend this hotel. Ps: there is 6 lifts so no waiting around or delays.
