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):
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.).

HungaryIn the single room the shower area needs painting, and there was no furniture for clothes.
After somebody showed me the riad, it was not difficult to find it since the house is not far from one of Medina's main streets. Beautiful riad. Good typical breakfast. The bed was hard, but that was not a problem for me.

The help and dedication of our host Mohammed exceeded expectations! He was so helpful and kind and made our time in Fez very special. We couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks a lot!

ItalyThe Riad is wonderful, in a very central location in the hearth of the Medina. Every ambient is tastefully decorated, with cozy rooms and equipped bathrooms. What my group enjoyed the most was the company of Mohammed: the warmest and most caring host we’ve ever met, who made us feel at home straight away, taking care of all our necessities and taking every extra step to make sure our experience was wonderful. He ensured that we tasted the local delicacies, carefully choosing various breakfast options, arranging for the best local guide for our tour, advising us on the acceptable price range for souvenirs and services, helping us with reservations, taxi rides and more! Mohammed, it was really a gift meeting you! Chiara, Valentina, Leonora

United StatesNo negative comments, we treasured our stay at Dar Labchara.
The location was perfect, 200 meters or so into the Medina. We had easy access to explore the Medina and to get outside the Medina. The two rooms were spacious and ideal for our family. Communication was easy with the staff. Muhammad was great, he met us at the train station, arranged luggage ferry service for us, helped us set up a Moroccan cooking class and a Hammam, connected us with specific vendors in the Medina for various wares, made great suggestions for places to eat that were not touristy, arranged travel for us to Chefchoauen, took us to the tile factory, and gave us a quick tour to orient ourselves when we arrived. The breakfast each morning was delicious and one morning Muhammad got us soup.

ItalyOur bed was very hard, I suggest to change the matress; the bathroom of our room needs a total renovation and general maintenance due to sticks from plumbings and no ventilation that generates mold and humidity
The best aspect of this Riad is Mohammed; he is very welcoming and kind and he always tries to help. The Riad is a very beautiful and ancient building with a little bit decadent atmosphere.

ItalyWe liked everything. It is a riad so not so much natural light in the room, but this is normal for riads, however there is a nice terrace to enjoy a view and the sun.
We liked a lot the helpfull staff, location and breakfast. First of all, we arrived really late (almost at 1 AM) because of some issues with the car rental at the airport and it was surprisingly easy to find (we figured out later that this is not the case for other places in Fes). The staff was really nice and despite our late arrival agreed to serve us early breakfast (at 7:30 AM). The breakfast was amazing. Also, we were recommended a very nice tour guide, Abidin! So we had good time exploring Fes and learning about its customs and culture. Thanks a lot for everything!
