Guest reviews for Riad Arabesque & Spa
"Extremely Beautiful Riad with a city view from balcony. Amazing breakfast. We were upgraded to a beautiful suit, thanks to the property manager who was very nice to offered us a late checkout as well."
"There was something strange. When we (me and my wife and son) arrived we were offered some welcome tea for both. 3 plates were put for snacks and then the person served only one cookie and left with other two plates. And I saw another family (local) who were served tea and snacks many times and were treated differently."
"Property good and some staffs are not listerning what we saying and before finishing communication they are leaving us. Love that love music at dinner. Owner is good and welcoming"
"Aucun."
"The welcome we received by Khalil Benamour, the owner, was unparalleled and incredible. It is like going back to the days where personal service existed and you were not just a number. I highly recommend this hotel, if only for the warm welcome. Also the restaurant is a must."

"Wanted to have a bath but the overflow in the bath prevented a nice full bath. Otherwise it was great."

"Beautiful accommodation, really very beautiful architecture, we were like in a fairy tale...:-) The riad is big, there are trees inside, a pool, roof and side terraces, everything is wonderful. Big and great breakfast with a view. Perfect service and simply a great experience, for which we thank you!"
"everything was great"
"The terrace views are nice for breakfast or dinner, pick up from the airport worked well - I recommend pickup, since the Riad is not that easy to find and a bit tucked away from the main action. Communication beforehand worked well."
"Staff was very overworked and took very long to deliver breakfast. The pool is not really for use, it seemed more like an eyecatcher to us, as it hadn't been cleaned from insects. The spa and hamam are kind of expensive at ca. 40 dollars per person, little information was provided on this even after asking."
"L'endroit pratique, vue paranomique juste magnifique,cadre familial impressionnant, à l'écoute, cuisine typique succulente,service impeccable"
"Aucun."
"Le Riad est magnifique, la terrasse est très agréable avec une très belle vue sur la ville, le personnel est gentil, accueillant, le petit déjeuner est correct et les repas servis sur la terrasse sont excellents, typique cuisine marocaine, je vous conseille de goûter la pastilla du chef"
"Aucun."

Guest reviews
"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"

"I had a wonderful experience in the desert. I stayed in a bivouac room, which was beautiful and comfortable in the middle of nature. Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."
