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.).

AustraliaThe staff! They were all very helpful in all aspects possible. The room was nice and the location in a nice part of the medina excellent Busy part but evening quiet. Breakfast times flexible to suit the traveler and not the other way around. And it was delicious with excellent coffee as well. Would happily come back here again.

IrelandLocation wise it was difficult to get to in a car. Since the hotel is in the heart of the souk, we were dropped off at a certain point and had to walk to the hotel with our luggage which was quite inconvenient. Having said that, it could have been the way the layout of the souk was designed.
The hotel staff were very pleasant and polite. The room was very clean and tidy, the breakfast was delicious and the hotel is only 20 minutes from the airport.

ArgentinaJust to say something, the night staff wasn’t as gentle. Our flight was delayed and he complained for us arriving later than expected, though we had sent a message saying we would arrive a bit later
Everything was perfect! We really wish we could have stayed longer. The pictures don’t even show how nice the place and the rooms are. The staff was extremely kind. Everything was very clean and well cared for. Location is perfect to explore Tunis medina. Breakfast is very abundant and varied. mostly sweet stuff, but we asked for savoury and we were brought some eggs. Not sure if it includes shakshuka - we thought it didn’t because ee didn’t receive it, but then we saw others eating it. In any case, the breakfast is a lot of food, so we suggest asking what it includes so you can choose what you want and enjoy it :)

JapanAs it was so traditional and old house, there was a slight gap even when you close the door or window so that you get some noice from outside and light.
Staff were always friendly and attentive. Very beautiful traditional Arabic house style. Free water bottle, welcome drink and fruits on the first day. Quite big breakfast.

CroatiaWe stayed just one night and we missed some more space to put off and open our suitcases, maybe it was only the case in the room we had.
Great location for Medina lovers, traditional and modern mixed in a very good way, wonderful team, helpful and kind, nothing was difficult or impossible: they served us late dinner in their restaurant after closing hours, negotiated the price with Bolt driver after we told them wevpayed double the Bolt price for drive from airport to Medina!! And we got a small goodbbuy gift. Felt nice.

United StatesThat we had to eventually check out.
What an incredible stay! From the warm, welcoming staff and their generosity to the perfect location of the facility. The breakfasts were divine and the dinners were warm, hearty and full of love. The rooms were spotless and tastefully designed. An incredible view of Tunis can be had from the rooftop terrace as well as a lovely nap or sun session from there as well. I truly cannot say enough good things about the Dar El Medina.

GermanyThe internet did not work in my room. The room faced a courtyard (which was part of said ambience) but the smells from the kitchen and, particularly, the smoking made it to my room.
Ambience. And location. The food was good too (which means, contrary to Tunisian practice, the tea and cereal were not sweetened) and there were vegetarian and even vegan options.

Wonderful hotel. Very unique and characterful in the heart of the Medina. Large and tastefully decorated rooms. Delicious breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful, though service a little slow on occasion (but they were very busy due to Ramadan). Overall highly recommended - thank you!

AustraliaWas a bit tricky the first few times parking the rental car in the Kasbah car park, but we eventually got used to it. The bathroom needs a drain as a we managed to flood it with water as the shower was a bit tricky in the narrow bath.
We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Dar El Medina for about a week. It was our introduction to Tunisia, to Tunis & the to the Tunis Medina. The staff were wonderful, (and most spoke English), the breakfast was amazing (although too much food!) and the view from the rooftop courtyard was spectacular. We loved being so close to the Souk and visited the markets often.

LatviaIf you are sensitive to some scents, then do a snif test before using any of the products. They are all natural, which is good but be avare, as i used something, that was for washing hands and it smelled like septic. Very strong scent that i could get off only with perfumed handsanitezer. The shower gel also had a milder version of the scent, but the shampoo was okay. I'm not sure what traditional herb has that scent, but just check it before using if you are sensitive to certain scents. For the included breakfast you can not choose your options, everyone gets served the same thing, it looked very good, but it can be problematic if you dont eat bread and eggs, but the porrige and pancake was nice.
Very friendly staff. We were able to organize a late checking as we flew in at night and if you are not sure yet how to use taxi and buses (very cheap)then the hotel offers to organize a pick up from airport for 15eur (just make sure you have them ir paper, if not the driver can take dinars.) Great location for checking old town and market. The breakfast is being served as a restorant style. The hotel has a beautiful style and a great place for photos, with private cortyards and lounge areas. At the end ofseason, when it still gets cold, there is an electric heater in the room, and we did use it(end of February, beging of March)
