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.).

BulgariaIf I ever have the chance to visit Fes one more time, I would stay at this Dar again. It is incredibly beautiful, authentic, and in a great location within the medina. The biggest advantage is the amazing terrace where breakfast and dinner are served. It is absolutely stunning! Additionally, they prepare fantastic food, so don't hesitate to have dinner at Dar Lantana – the most delicious food in Morocco. Many thanks to Catherine, who was an exceptionally attentive and gracious host!

SpainThe classic riad style and decorations, the terrace, the home-made food including the amazing and varied breakfast, the recommendations given by the host, the location 3 minutes walking from the "blue gate". Everything about this stay was on point. I highly recommend staying in this riad. All the food was super tasty and prepared at the moment by Catherine herself. My mom is gluten intolerant and the host took good care of her, she found gluten free options for the breakfast and even went the extra mile and cooked a cake without gluten for the last day! We felt very welcomed with my family and already want to come back to Fez.

United KingdomWe were given a very warm welcome, Cathrine is an excellent host. She is extremely helpful in organising any event or activity, we loved the authentic Moroccan cooking class and trip to Volubilis. The view from the rooftop was stunning both during the day and at night. Our room was cosy and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend the food, it was one of the best meals of our stay, especially the chicken couscous.

United KingdomYou can hear people occasionally walking up and down stairs- that really was no issue for us but if stuff like that bothers you- its worth being aware of.
This property is perfect and the price is amazing value for money! It has a beautiful roof terrace where breakfasts and dinner (if you choose to dine there in the evening) are served - both are delicious. Our bed was very firm which I LOVED but worth being aware of if you like soft beds. Me and my boyfriend slept beautifully each night - better than I sleep at home! The shower had really good pressure and was always hot. The owner is extremely personable and a very good conversationalist - nothing was too much trouble for her to arrange and help us with - she also has a pet cat which was great. The property has Wifi and the location is great for wandering around the medina and also close to the Blue Gate to venture further afield.

CanadaOur host Catherine was beyond exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she took care of all of our needs. She booked us a tour guide of fes for the very next morning. She also arranged our desert tour to Merzouga. She kept in touch with us and made sure we were well taken care of all the way until we reached Marrakech. The breakfast was wonderful and the location was great.

ItalyDar Lantana is located in the heart of Fes Medina, a good starting point for exploring the sourroundings. Catherine is an excellent host, really helpful and supportive. Breakfast was super good and the room was comfortable enough (don't forget that Dar Lantana is a traditional riad, meaning that rooms can't be as spacious as common hotels' rooms).

GermanyThis place has everything you could want when visiting Fes. It is located in the old medina, very close to the Blue Gate. The interior is decorated in a charming traditional style. From the terrace you have a beautiful view over the medina, and the breakfast is opulent. The hosts are very caring and can help you plan and organize your trip. In addition, Catherine is not only a great hostess, but also a gifted cook! 10/10 experience.

Catherine from the start of your booking is the host! She communicates as soon as possible and gives you all the information you will need for your stay. Breakfast is abundant and super friendly kind staff. The location can’t get any better. It’s safe you’re a few meters from the police station and next to the police station you can withdraw money. So we felt safe.
