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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyI had a fantastic experience at Dar El Mandar. The staff (all of them) were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a lovely own garden and a stunning view. The breakfast was delicious. Dinner was also excellent. Highly recommended!

FranceThe first review I’ve ever written. We wanted somewhere to relax close to Fez to end our trip and didn’t want to spend a fortune. We booked this without super high expectations and we’re blown away. Everything is perfect. The staff are so kind and attentive, farm to table food beyond delicious ! Such a calm environment. We planned to go to see the area but couldn’t leave. We’ll be back again and again I hope.

NetherlandsInsanely pretty place, that is well thought through. Dar El Mandar has a multitude of details that give every element its own identity and still blend in with the mountain that encompasses the hotel. This is where a modern vision and traditional Moroccan culture are carefully blended. To sum it up, the interior is amazing and beautifully curated, the food is delicious and emphasises everything that is delicious about Moroccan cuisine, the staff is kind and always ready to help with the biggest smile.

NetherlandsIt’s necessary to get some cash from the aiport to pay for the accommodation and for extra dinner and/or lunch.
Four days of escape from the cold Dutch climate. We are very pleased with Dar El Mandar. First of all, the place is breathtaking! The view is beautiful, it is very luxurious and has nice lounge seating. If you do not master the French or Arabic language this is not a problem. There works a young lady named Wafoj. She studied English at the University and is therefore the perfect addition to the team. In addition, she and the rest of the crew are very hospitable. It is handy to have enough money at the airport to withdraw money because there is no bank machine nearby. And transferring money is difficult. We were just a little short but this was not a problem and a sweet gift from them.

Dar el Mandar is a true oasis of tranquility and hospitality nestled away into a mountain side with a stunning view of Fez and the surrounding plains. The property is designed with great attention to detail - minimalism paired with traditional Moroccon style. It is elegant and luxurious, but down to earth at the same time. We spent 2 nights here to enjoy a full-day break of relaxation, sandwiched into an otherwise pretty packed itinerary of exploring Morocco. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Dar el Mandar was the perfect place to find some peace and quiet, and to recharge our batteries before diving back into the bustle of Fez. The rooms are clean and tastefully furnished, the staff was extremely attentive and they served excellent food as well. If we ever come back to Morocco we will make sure to spend a few nights here, Inshallah :)

United KingdomOur only concern was the taxi transfer arranged for us - no seat belts (unlike the other transfers later in the week) and driver using phone which wasn’t hands free. However, we did get to Sefrou and back safely (!) and we’d recommend a visit on a Thursday for the market.
Extremely friendly staff, and very helpful. A particularly comfortable and stylish property with substantial breakfasts and wonderful evening meals on the covered terrace. Relaxing!! Lovely pool and grounds - range of seating areas plus the delights of the Berber tent. We’d definitely return and bring some friends, and recommend to others. Many thanks once again to Alaa and Hamsa (with apologies if my spelling is incorrect!)

Netherlands-we really appreciate that the owner wants to support local families and promote more sustainable tourism. This meant that staff could not speak English at all, only French. We missed having good conversations with them which we generally like when we travel to different countries. It helps us connect better. -the whole setting is about enjoying the peaceful surroundings and disconnecting from outside world. But if you need to use internet for anything important then you need to do in the restaurant section because the WiFi does not reach the rooms
Beautiful setting in the countryside. Good place to relax away from hustle and bustle of Fes. Delicious freshly cooked meals. Common area with games and swimming pool is very nice. There are some farm animals too. Comfortable bedroom. Lovely helpful staff Note: don't forget to bring cash to make payments. No cards
