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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomThe toilet was designed in an awkward position so can easily have an accident. This was in the ground floor bedroom with the blue doors. The toilet seat was very wobly. The sink was very small. The whole toilet gets wet when you have a shower as the shower cubicle is in front of the sink/comode The hot and cold taps were swapped so initially I thought that there was no hot water. A shelf in the toilet would help considering the sink is very small.
The Staff are extremely helpful. Zainab, Kabil and Muammed went out of their way to make myself comfortable. As a solo traveller, they gave me advice on what to see etc and even came/dropped me at the blue gate when I had to leave early to take tours/trains etc. They arranged a take away breakfast when I had to leave early. AC was working well. I was upgraded to a luxury room on the 2nd floor but chose to stay in the ground floor room as it was a hassle to keep climbing up and down to the 2nd floor.

SloveniaOur room and its cleanliness. Originally, we didn't even book this riad. We reserved it just before leaving the airport, as our previously booked riad canceled on us literally mid-flight. So we booked a stay in Dar Merzouga and took a cab to the center. While the host is nice, and so is the riad, the room we were in was definitely below average. The ceiling was 170cm tall at best + it wasn't too clean. Now, I imagine that we got this "spare" room as a result of our late booking, which would be fine. But something should definitely be done about the cleanliness of that room.
I think the main pluses of this riad are the location, the host, and the breakfast. It's located less than 5 minutes away from the iconic Blue gate. It's also near (but importantly not on) one of the main streets of the Medina. So you get all of the perks of having a great location, without being disturbed at night. The host is very nice and the breakfast is delicious.

The location is great very close to the blue gate. The most impressive service is the tour guide service . Our guide is an old gentleman called Ahmed (hope I spell the name correct) who provid perfect tour guide with kindness and very educational knowledge about the city and Arabic culture. We strongly recommend this tour guide. Also the landlord himself is very helpful provid professional services all the way through our stay.

ItalyThey clearly tried to sell us services at double the price, and so far ok... we negotiate.. But then when we purchased a full-bodied package (3 days in the desert) they gave us 1 less lunch, they forced us to stop and eat only at petrol stations, we made fewer stops than the promised (so we saw less thing), and all the days were full of delays and driver screaming because they weren't even organized among themselves. We did 3 hours more in a this one day because we picked up the wrong people who had to go to another city, etc etc... We never really stopped to do anything unless the last day. (The one without lunch). The 5 star riad with the pool was nice, but in a horrible area. We arrived very late so we couldn't use the pool (which is why we had chosen this package), which was disgusting with stagnant water anyway. They refused to pay us for the missing lunch they promised us and did not in any way attempt to make amends, refund part of the money or anything else. Stay there if you want, but don't buy ANYTHING from them.
Amazing breakfast and clean place in the middle of the old Medina. The riad is amazing and they look so kind and friendly, but don't buy any tour from them.
