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 reviewRiad Dar Bayane was a beautiful oasis in the middle of the Medina. The Staff were really attentive, friendly and helpful. The building is beautifully decorated. We couldn't believe that it was so quiet and relaxing whilst only 2 streets away from the hustle and bustle of the souks. We can't recommend Riad Dar Bayane highly enough.
There wasn't anything that we didn't like.

Verified reviewLovely, airy clean property with a rooftop seating area. From the initial welcome with delicious Moroccan tea, to the moment we left, the Riad was a delight. All staff were friendly and helpful. Transport to collect us from the airport and return us to the railway station was swiftly arranged. Breakfast was large and tasty served on the roof terrace. Easy access from a busy part of the Medina and close to the main square.
Nothing. Be aware there are narrow stairs to reach most rooms and the terrace, as is common in the Riads.

Verified reviewThe Riad was beautifully decorated and our bedroom was comfortable and clean. The location is right next to the souks, making it easy and safe to explore the surrounding area. Moustapha gave us some great recommendations for restaurants nearby which was very helpful and the traditional Moroccan breakfast served on the rooftop was delicious! The airport transfer service was also convenient and good value for money, special thanks to Jamal for walking us to our taxi early in the morning :)
The only improvement would be softer pillows in the bedrooms as ours were quite hard and difficult to sleep on. To note, that there are also quite a few flights of stairs at the property.

Verified reviewThe riad was very pretty and quite modern which makes it super appealing to all. The rooms are spacious with AC and TV. However the best part was how friendly and kind the riad manager (Moustapha) was - he gave amazing food recommendations, helped us with taxis/luggage and was an all around great person. Thank you so so much for all your help Moustapha (:

Verified reviewRiad Dar Bayane is in a great location, close to the entrance of the Medina with very easy access to Jemaa el Fnaa Square, the Bahia Palace and a beautiful little find, the Musee De L'Art Culinaire Marocain. The Riad itself was spotlessly clean, lovely room and bathroom and very comfortable bed and bedding. It also had good AC which was a godsend in 46 degrees heat. Breakfast was also lovely, but the highlight was definitely the staff. Jamil who met me from my taxi and helped with my bags was extremely kind and lovely, showing me the area and even trying to teach me a few Arabic words. And Moustapha was there for every question I had, assisting with my needs and my onward travel plans and even messaging to check I had arrived safe at my next destination That kind of service is priceless and I won't forget it and I will recommend it to anyone visiting. I will also return if I get the chance
