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 reviewOur stay at Riad Adarissa was truly exceptional and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed. The riad is conveniently located just off a main street, but quiet enough to provide a peaceful retreat from the medina. Its location was easy to find once shown the way, especially with the help of Haddou, who met us outside the medina and assisted with our luggage. The hospitality was one of the highlights of our visit. On arrival, we were greeted with a warm cup of traditional Moroccan mint tea and given a map, along with helpful tips on how to navigate the area. The staff were incredibly accommodating, offering guided tours and trips without any pressure and ensuring we could explore comfortably on our own. We did book a day trip to Chefchaouen through them, and it was an excellent experience at a great price, giving us peace of mind knowing it was arranged by the riad. Beyond the outstanding service, the riad itself was beautiful, with stunning Moroccan decor and a lovely terrace offering breathtaking views over the city. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and the home-cooked dinner made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients was truly memorable. We were even given a packed breakfast for our day trip, despite breakfast already being included in the Chefchaouen tour. A special thank you to Fatimzohra, Noureddine, Hanane, and Haddou for making our stay so seamless. Haddou was incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived, assisting us with getting SIM cards and offering support throughout our time in Fes. Choosing Riad Adarissa was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made for our trip, turning our stay into something unforgettable. We felt at home throughout our time there and would highly recommend it.
Nothing negative to say, everything was amazing!

Verified reviewMy stay at Riad Adarissa was exceptional. The accomodation is inside the Medina of Fes and the riads design and decoration is stunning! my top-floor room was authentic and elegant, and the rooftop terrace provided unforgettable sunset views over the city. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the staff. Nourredine and Haddou welcomed me like family sharing thoughtful recommendations, insider tips, and fascinating historical context that brought Fes to life. I was also traveling solo and felt very safe at the Riad. I can’t recommend Riad Adarissa highly enough.
nothing to complain about. everything was perfect.

Verified reviewI stayed in the suite which was huge and so beautiful. Its location is amazing if you’re interested in staying inside the medina. It’s located directly off of the main market street. The breakfast is good and the dinners we had at the hotel were delicious, though a little pricey.
It wasn’t a problem for me, but something to be aware of: Not an option for anyone with mobility issues. There is no vehicle access to the hotel. You will walk a few minutes up inclined winding pedestrian streets. Be prepared for narrow, steep stairs as well. However, the staff will pick you up from the taxi and carry your bag to the hotel, and back out to the taxi at the end of your stay as well. They’re very helpful.

Verified reviewGreat location, few minutes to the Blue Gate, just off one of the two main shopping streets in Medina. Very nicely renovated riad, breakfast was included and it was the usual Morrocan fair, but decent. They prepared packed breakfast when we were going on a trip and leaving early.
A bit of a hard sell when it comes to 'recommending' a nearby restaurant (or actually taking you there, asking you if you have been there, etc) - this is not what I expect from a hotel when I ask for advice. Also instead of advice how to get to the airport on a budget, an offer of 20-something € taxi as the only way of getting to the airport from Medina (which we took for the peace of mind but felt a bit of bad aftertaste). These are not deal breakers, rather something that could be improved (less hard sell, more genuine helpfulness will help you get more guests).

Verified reviewRiad Adarissa was absolutely lovely. Clean, pretty, and a calming oasis in the bustle of the Fes medina. The people were wonderful, especially Haddou, who met us at the medina gate and personally escorted us to the riad. And what a riad! The trickling fountain and flickering candles in the courtyard are only rivalled by the view from the stunning private terrace. The ultra-hot water was a bonus, too. Haddou looked after our every need while we were at Riad Adarissa, connecting us up with a medina guide and recommended restaurants. He always made sure we had a personal guide to accompany us throughout the medina, to ensure we didn’t get lost. His French is excellent, his English is good, and he was happy to teach us a little bit of Arabic as well. He and Fatima prepared beautiful breakfasts for us, and on our final day he personally escorted us up to the medina gate and found us a taxi to take us to the train station. What a terrific way to experience Fes. Thank you, Riad Adarissa ❤️

Verified reviewThe location was good. It's only around 200 m to the Parking Ain Azliten. ATM and most of the attraction was in reasonable walking distance. The place was surrounded with the small souvenir shops that have more reasonable price compare with the shop nearby the Blue Gate. The interior of the guest house was amazing. The room was small but the furniture's choices was great so even we can open our big luggage without problem. The bed was comfortable. Our room was being cleaned everyday, which is surprising for a guest house class. However, the best part from all were the staffs. All people were welcoming. The breakfast was made with love. Mr. Haddou was really helpful. He helps us to bought something in the market so we won't get scam. He help us with our baggage to the Blue Gate! He connect us with other guests that staying there too! So we can share our stories. Definitely a worth place to stay in Fes.
It would be great to build a soundproofer in the room because sometimes we can hear people opening the door or people talking in the hall.

Verified reviewThe Riad was a beautiful home from home, in a side road off the Talaâ Kebira and 5 minutes from the blue gate. The location was quiet with excellent view of the medina rooftop from the terrace, yet you can enjoy the excitement of bustling through the medina streets with an array of shops, restaurants and sites on your doorstep. The Riad team were excellent hosts, informative, kind and generous. Haddou and his wife were super friendly and provided delicious meals and good company. Nourredine was a wealth of knowledge. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious with an array of artisan breads, pastries, honey, olives, cheese etc. we had a delicious couscous on Friday. The Riad is tastefully decorated and our suite was comfortable and spacious. We would definitely return!
Nothing. On a side note check that the upstairs rooms are suitable if you have mobility issues. This is a traditional Riad with high steps.

Verified reviewRiad Adarissa is conveniently located in the Fes medina. But, the real reason to stay here is the exceptional hospitality. Haddou went out of his way to make everything enjoyable, from the moment he met us to the time we left. His wife, Hanane, was the chef. We chose to eat our dinners at the Riad, and it was a great decision. The meals were fantastically prepared and it gave us more time to enjoy the company of Haddou, Hanane, and the gracious owner of the Riad Adarissa, Jean Claude. When traveling, it's the people you meet who make things special. And the people at Riad Adarissa made everything special and memorable for us. Highly recommend! Our room was adjacent to the dining room and was perfect for us. Others might prefer an upstairs room. The terrace gives a nice view of Fes. A Moroccan Breakfast was included and we enjoyed it.
