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.).

PortugalThe towels could be softer, they’re a bit worn out. We found a couple of bugs in the room in the evenings. It’s not surprising in old buildings, in a hot old town so we were not too bothered.
The staff were wonderful.

United KingdomThe room was lovely but the bed was a little hard. I'm sure the staff would have sorted this for us if we'd asked. Otherwise, we loved everything about the place.
We loved our stay at Riad Chamali. All of the staff were so welcoming and helpful - especially Hamza who sorted out lots of things for us to see and do. Including arranging a guided tour and booking a roof top dinner. The rooms were really lovely and the food was great. It was near to everything - just a short walk into the action but a lovely quiet place to retreat to when we needed some quiet time. Our favourite thing was the kittens!

United KingdomOn this occasion we were unhappy with the fact that reception questioned our payment on the day before we checked out. This had been paid in full before our holiday. Fortunately, Booking.com's customer service was able to advise and reassure us that there was no problem with this.
This was our third stay at this riad, because we like it for its peaceful atmosphere, food, and location. The staff who cook, clean and take care of clients are exceptionally helpful and friendly.

SpainIt is not a quiet hotel. If you’re near the pool area, everything can be heard. At night, cats roam around and can make a lot of noise. Some guests stayed til late near the pool at night. Also during the day, a group of kids thrashed and made a mess around the pool emptying some of the water without any control.
The room was great and exactly like the photos. The staff was helpful and kind despite having to use google translate from English to Arabic or French. Also, good location.

GermanyCat noises become really disturbing at night, if you have a light sleep like I do you might want to bring some earplugs.
Traditional humble breakfast on a cozy terrace. The room was super clean, amenities they offer were not so many but of top quality. It's located right at the corner of the medina, so we parked our car on the closest main street and went everywhere on foot. The staff was very friendly, they welcomed us with famous moroccan mint tea on arrival. Overall nice option for its value.

IrelandThe room was dark (it did keep cool during the day which was great ) but at around 5pm it felt way too dark as it was on the bottom floor (could do with some new colorful paint, eg the beautiful blue they have in some rooms to add more brightness). They do have many wonderful rooms just our one wasn’t like on the photos.
Loved the hotel and the location, the staff were absolutely amazing! And so helpful. Loved the hotel so much.

SingaporeThe shower pressure could be better and the hot water was a little temperamental.
My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Riad Chamali. It was a 15-minute walk from the crowded and busy Jemaa el-Fnaa, which meant that our area was really quiet and pleasant. The beds were comfortable, and there was enough space for all our luggage (we travelled from Asia to Morocco so our bags were bigger). Breakfast is also provided, which was a bonus. The eating area also doubles as a restaurant in the evenings, and serves really great tajines and salads that are cheaper than some of the restaurants in town. Shoutout to the two receptionists, they were fantastic, especially Sa'ad, who was a really honest chap who returned us our money when he realised we overpaid for something. We really appreciated that.

United StatesI'm working remotely during the afternoon/night so I really need stable WiFi. Although I've read in other comments that the WiFi here is one of the best in old town but don't count on it for stable video conference calls. To be fair, the room is also not hotel clean.
Located in a safe neighbourhood south of Medina, the Riad is quiet and not too far from the main street where you can get Taxi. It's a 10min walk to Place des Ferblantiers, and another 10 to the Medina. The courtyard and room are nicely curated. The staff on site are super nice and helpful to guide me to places to eat and tour around. The breakfast was not bad but not splendid - some bread & juice. The pool is nice and not too shallow, great for the scorching afternoon of Marrakech.
