How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWonderful location. Easy to get to. Staff was welcoming and always offering tea and were very friendly. Hussein was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay near the Medina.

Verified reviewThe staff are very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast is delicious and plenty! Tried the Hammam spa for the experience which was lovely. We ran a little late for our train and the staff helped us to a taxi. The riad doesn’t do card payment so make sure you have enough MAD for any extra expenses. The riad is close to the outside of the Medina which is helpful when trying to find accommodation in this area when maps don’t work well.
Nothing

Verified reviewBeautiful property in the Batha neighbourhood off the Medina. Great breakfast and dinner at hotel and clean comfortable rooms. Staff, especially Hayat, made us feel right at home as two gals travelling together. She looked out for us and walked us to the taxi to help us get around. Highly recommend this riad.
Nothing!

Verified reviewThe decoration is amazing ! So genuine, comfortable, clean! The area is approximately 5 minutes waking from the “blue gate” and the Medina! It’s safe and a bit crowded. The riad has a terrace where you can sit and relax while drinking a traditional Moroccan mint tea 🍵 (100/100) The staff are really friendly and welcoming!! It feels like being at home!! (100/100) Our new friend Hayat made us smile a lot!! She made some traditional henna for us, explained about Moroccan heritage and immersed us into the country! Also, she taught us some phrases in Arabic and Dariya. She also speaks English, French and very soon Spanish ! Thanks a lot !! You are unique, beautiful, friendly, kind and very intelligent! Hassan, helped us to find a driver from the CTM station 🚉 to the Riad. Thank you! Breakfast was delicious and enough to gain some energy for the rest of the day ! Thanks a lot Hayat and Hassan !!

Verified reviewThe staff were kind and caring. Will go beyond for our comfort. Allowed us in early for check in. Our flight was early in the morning so could not attend breakfast, the kind people even packed us some bread, fruit and juice for the taxi to the airport. Cannot thank them enough. Breakfast and dinner were great. If we ever return to Fez we will definitely stay again

Verified reviewA lovely riad with a very pretty courtyard, and excellent staff. Khalid was kindly waiting for us when we arrived after having spoken to our driver, and was very helpful throughout our stay. He even made us breakfast early one day as we had to leave early, and he helped us call a driver. The breakfast is plentiful and the location of the riad is easy to reach the medina and get taxis from the nearby square

They had only one person handling everything. It becomes tough sometimes. They should hire more staff.

Verified reviewBirds singing inside, traditional looking, clean Riad and exceptional hospitality. We got our room cleaned daily like in hotel, all mess was arranged. Young employee Khalid made sure our stay is memorable. We will get his servises in the future because he is also a giude for a desert experience.
It was chilly, and we needed jackets, especially in the main area in the evenings and mornings.

Verified reviewGood breakfast and location. We had to leave very early and the provided breakfast to go.
Our room was on the last floor, close do to the loundry, one doesn't feel to be part of the riad: you had to pass the dirty linen to get to the room... The wardrobe had no hangers and no batteries in the remote control. Considering its price I was expecting a completely diferent experience.

Verified reviewI feel like being at home. First, the location is very good and it's in the center of medina of Fes. It's very easy to go to the medina and explore the old town. Second, the staff working in this riad are very kind and nice, and they always love to help, especially khalid. He picked me up at night when I arrived at Fes. He also prepared mint tea every time and recommended some tourist attractions, like Volubilis which is the most fantastic part of my staying in Fes. He arranged a driver who picked me up in my riad, and visiting the remains of Roman Empire was super memorable. The day I left Fes was very early, at 7 in the morning, so he got up early to prepare breakfast for me, that's so heartmelting. Normally, it's hard to hail a taxi that early, he helped to call a taxi for me, so that I arrived at CTM bus station very conveniently. Also, I like the decoration in Riad Thara. The mosaic walls and the beautiful lamps and the terrace where I like sitting there bathing in sunshine. Anyway, every one in this riad helps me and I feel so lucky.
Nothing, everything is super good.
