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):
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.).

Beautiful building with lovely sun terrace. Great breakfast and very helpful staff. We really appreciated the escorts from the hotel to the taxi. Also grateful for the extra effort in providing an early breakfast.

CanadaOur only comment would be for the mattresses to be firmer.
Fabulous Riad! It is actually 3 properties with so many beautiful spaces to relax, 3 rooftop plunge pools, 1 larger indoor pool with chaise lounge chairs scattered over the many terrace levels. Entire staff were so friendly making us feel very welcome. Mohammed’s energy was amazing and always asking what we might need. From our arrival where we were met by a guide/wagon for our luggage to arranging our tuk-tuk on the way out, everything was taken care of. The food we had during our stay was so good with many choices at breakfast. We opted to take book 2 dinners at the riad and both meals were delicious, service outstanding & live music on weekends was just icing on the top! Rooms were beautiful with large bathrooms. Absolutely recommend staying here!

United KingdomI don't think I have enough words or the ability to explain just how wonderful our stay at Riad Karmela was. The whole time I was there I felt like I was at home, nothing was ever a problem and we were treated with the utmost respect and care. It became almost like a sanctuary after our days of exploring, to come back to. The courtyard was peaceful and my favourite place to relax. With regards to general feedback, the check in process was smooth. We were offered many options of excursions and we were able to have an amazing traditional Hammam experience within the Riad itself, which was very convenient. Breakfast every morning had plenty of varieties. There was always food and drinks available, and we had some delicious food both at lunch and dinner. Huge compliments to the chef! At dinner time there was sometimes a guitarist who was very pleasant to listen to. Our room was spacious and traditional and always cleaned. They ensured that my friend and I were safe (being two young girls) and escorted us to and from taxi's at night-time (a grateful mention to Ibrahim who did this for us many times), as well as arranging taxi's for us. They were patient with our requests and nothing was ever an inconvenience for them. The location was amazing as it was a very short walk to the main square and surrounded by souks. The thing that struck me the most about the staff was that they were always smiling and they had this warm energy about them which makes the Riad feel like a home. Fatima who works at the front desk is a wonderful person. She was so thoughtful and kind and she gave us many suggestions on places to eat and see. She is an asset to the Riad. The other staff members Majid, Amine, Mohammed and Hakim to name a few were allcaring and went above and beyond to make us have a good time and to help us feel comfortable at all times. I can't say thank you enough to them. They are all incredibly hard-working and humble people.

United KingdomThe only negative point was the airport transfer on day 1. I think we got through the airport far quicker than is normal so our driver appeared to be late and then didn't have a placard with the Riad Karmela name. Our phones weren't working to call the Riad so we asked a very helpful Club Med agent to help and he connected us with our driver. This did all take almost an hour so ensure you have a working sim on landing as once out of the airport, they don't let you back in for the Wi-Fi.
The staff went above and beyond - so attentive. Fabulous location for wandering around The Medina itself and transfers for day trips. All food very good quality. Such a calm and beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Relaxing on the sun terrace - so peaceful.

United KingdomOur room overlooked the central patio which meant on evenings when the guitarist was playing it was very loud at times! Everything finished promptly at 10pm though so it didn't go on late.
Ideally located in the centre of the medina, this was our third year staying in one of the Karmela riads. The room was spacious, the breakfasts were fine, and the staff as always were excellent.

FranceThey seem unable to remember anything. We were told that we should arrange the transport from the airport through them. So we asked for it using 3 different channels (booking, email and something else). But nothing was organized and when we called from the airport it was like: huh? you asked? really? Same happened next day to our friends. And when we asked for a guided trip for the next day, they forgot about it as well. On the good side, they try to fix things quickly.
Plenty of space in the room plus a private terrace on the roof of the room and a terrace in front of the room - kind of cool. Rustic feel to everything. Quiet. Food was good. Very nice place.
