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.).

TurkeyThe riad was right in the center, yet very quiet. Unlike most riads, which are usually small, this one was quite spacious — and you can really feel the difference. The concept and design of the riad are beautiful. The room we stayed in was large and very cool. The terrace is amazing, and you can even enjoy an ocean view from there. The staff were always friendly and ready to help. We truly loved our stay! ♥️

BelgiumA bit difficult to find the Riad at first, not very well indicated. A bit noisy at night but nothing really bothering.
Super well located, riad decorated with taste. Super clean and a very comfy bed with soft sheets. Beautiful location but our favorite part was the magnificent view of the terrace.

FranceIt was noisy from the bar Taros every night until about 2-3am. You could feel the music and banging on the walls from the bar. Unfortunately this meant we did not sleep very well, and also during the day it was difficult to nap as there was also noise from cleaning and staff. If you like you sleep consider ear plugs as it was very restless during our 5 day stay. We considered moving as it was difficult to sleep at night and even try catch up in rest during the day. It was a nice place and good value, just maybe not for everyone.
Beautiful place, confortable, great rooftop and view. wonderful helpful staff. Nice simple breakfast.

LithuaniaThe strong smell in the street leading to the hotel was unpleasant, and the early morning prayers, projected straight into the riad, were quite disruptive. While music in the evenings from the nearby bar was noticeable, it was less intrusive in comparison.
Staying at this riad was truly a unique experience. The stunning architecture, reminiscent of an old yacht, added a special charm. Our suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a balcony offering breathtaking ocean views - an absolute highlight. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay.

SwitzerlandFinding the riad was not straightforward as we had to go through a badly light passage under the houses of the medina which unfortunately smelled so bad we held our breaths. Once inside the riad, it was a completely different world: bright, beautiful, clean!
Beautiful riad with plants in the courtyard. Spacious room and bathroom. We enjoyed the breakfast on the rooftop and the great location! Would go again!

Hong KongThere's a bar right next to the riad, where some may find the music annoying at night. The insulation of the riad is fairly poor and therefore the music could be just loud.
The riad if full of plants and the interior is neat and simple. Really generous breakfast with wonderful setting at the terrace where you can view the sea.
