  Cockroaches everywhere: be careful

  18 Aug 2025

  Please read carefully before booking. Let's start with a premise: we are a young couple, very open to other cultures, who have always traveled extensively and have always adapted to every situation. We booked five nights at this Riad, enticed by the positive and enthusiastic reviews (especially those from our fellow Italians, who are often the most critical). We couldn't have made a worse mistake. We arrived and were given a first room (where we would stay for two nights). The shower drain didn't work (every time we took a shower, it would flood the room) and it was infested with ants. We asked for a second room and were given one. It was infested with cockroaches and the air conditioning didn't work (we killed two of them while the others ran away; I've attached a photo for those who might not believe it). At 11:00 PM on the third night, we asked for a third room and were given one. This one also had cockroaches and the air conditioning didn't work. Unfortunately, it was late, so we had to spend the third night here, taking turns with the lights on (to scare off the cockroaches) and keeping the door open due to the stifling heat (it was cooler outside than inside). In the morning, we left. Don't trust the super-positive reviews; they most likely didn't know they were sleeping in the company of a colony of cockroaches. Also, the host speaks only a little French and Arabic, so he won't be of any help. And, although it's a minor point compared to what I've written above, the host gave us the wrong change when paying the tourist tax (pocketing 50 DH). Was this intentional or was it a human error? Find out for yourself if you dare come here.

  Nice charming hotel - with some kinks to iron out

  25 Mar 2025

  Nice, charming Riad in the heart of Marrakech. The caretaker, Abdul, is very helpful and always smiling. The lower rating is because of the payment issues that I faced. The booking was done via the establishment's website and guaranteed with a credit card. Upon checking in, I was told that there is no payment on file. To complicate matters, they did not have a working credit card machine. I had to get money changed to make the payment. Not easy for a traveller with limited currency on hand. I returned back three days later for a second stay after a trip to Erg Chebbi. Same experience. No payment, and credit card machine still not working. I hope the owner fixes the credit card payment issues promptly.

  Warm and welcoming

  So, SO happy with this riad! Lovely and welcoming owner - greeted us with mint tea and biscuits, and supplied a great breakfast every morning we were there (3 days). Room was small but comfortable, had a good sense of privacy and safety in it. There was a lovely shaded top floor terrace and an open air seating area on the ground floor, where we spent a couple hours resting and taking in the lovely nature around (three sweet chatty birds were flying around us a lot!). On our last day, the owner kindly called the taxi for us, let us keep our bags in the riad and rest in the terrace until late afternoon, and then helped take our bags to the taxi. Felt very well taken care of - would love to come back again.

  Beautiful riad

  Beautiful riad with friendly and very helpful staff. Abdul was very helpful and answered all our questions and was always there for us. Rooms are small but cosy, bathroom and room were cleaned everyday. The rooftop was amazing, we enjoyed our delicious breakfast there. Thank you for making our stay in Marrakech very enjoyable 😊
