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 reviewSameera the manager, the chef were the only people with great hospitality.
The air conditioner wasn’t cooling well. The staff’s children were jumping in the pool and making noises disturbing the guests. The rest of the staff apart from the manager and the chef weren’t welcoming enough.

Verified reviewLocation great. Helpful staff, twin room was lovely. Quiet and calm.
photos made it look much bigger/spacious than reality. It is a lovely little courtyard but be aware the pool is tiny but refreshing. Roof terrace - not tidied up, same towels were there the day we left. Maybe could consider a privacy curtain on the bathroom door? (There is a wall that blocks it from main room but need to avoid using sink if your friend on the loo!)

Verified reviewOur junior suite room was a fantastic size and very clean and light. Samir and the other lady were really friendly and welcoming. A birthday cake was organised, airport transfers and a private trip to Atlas mountains. The main square and souks is easy to find and a straight forward walk. Breakfast was nice and they had coffee which was a plus. We were lucky enough to stay during a festival called Ashura and the locals around the riad welcomed us in to join their celebrations, we felt safe in the area. Cute roof terrace area, we were not told about at check in but knew it was there from the booking description.
Arriving back late at night made us feel a little like we were in trouble with the night staff. We hadn't experienced this before on holiday, thats the only negative we had at dar charkia

Verified reviewWe had a lovely stay at Dar Charkia. The location of the riad is perfect — tucked away in a calm, quiet street but just a short walk from all the main attractions in the medina. Our room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable, with a large bed that we really appreciated. We also enjoyed relaxing on the terrace, a peaceful spot to unwind. One small note: the bed sheets weren’t 100% cotton, which made it feel a bit warm at night, but it was manageable. As for breakfast, while everything was fresh and the ladies serving it were incredibly kind and gentle, we would have loved a more generous offering with more Moroccan specialities to truly experience the local flavors. Overall, a beautiful riad in a fantastic location with great hospitality.

Verified reviewGreat breakfast and hospitality.
The shower pressure in our room wasn't particularly great, sometimes there was no hot water, sometimes the water would cut out completely for 5 mins. The room we stayed in also smelled on smoke from the fireplace which eventually made our luggage smell...

Verified reviewBeautiful place, friendly helpful staff, good location.
You may need earplugs if you are a light sleeper. The birds that fly inside can be quite noisy and start chirping at sunrise. Additionally, people gather for breakfast, and some even swim at 8 AM, which can be quite disruptive.
