Guest reviews for Riad Dama & Spa
"The riad was beautiful and in a good location. An easy walk from the busy souk area, but still in an area with restaurants and shops. The staff were very kind and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They helped us fix our broken suitcase and packed a to-go breakfast for us when we left early for the airport."
"The jacuzzi was too cold for us to enjoy during our February stay. The top of the courtyard had a plastic roof, which probably kept the courtyard clean. However, it made the riad a little stuffy with the incense and may be why we were sneezing a lot while we were there."
"I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, there is a nice rooftop that has wonderful views of birth Atlas mountain and the old town. Yazid was very kind and helpful."
"Aucun."
"Super friendly staff, always ready to help. Nice hammam & massage experience"
"Cold rooms"
"The location was ideal, within walking distance of Medina center, but far enough away to have peace and quiet. Our hosts, Mohammed and Moha, were so friendly and helpful. Their good energy was a blessing during our stay."
"The lack of outlets to recharge devices in the room. We had to pull out lamp cords and use the bathroom sink outlet. It would be helpful to have a multi-plug adapters in the outlets."
"1.Outstanding customer focus at all levels of staff..Managers,Room attendants; restaurant service. 2. Central location in the age old Medina. 3. Great quality and ample quantity for breakfast and meals. 4. Excellent Hammam and Spa service..relaxing and refreshing. All in all a truly memorable experience."
"All good!"
"Location a little out of the way, but safe and quieter, though there is a speaker for call to prayer directly outside the Riad. They sent someone to get us to locate the Riad on our first night. Nice mini mart outside the Riad for water and snacks."
"Breakfast was consistently late, as in 40m twice. The third time, we asked for breakfast to go, since it was our last day. The front desk asked our taken, and assured us it would be there for us in the morning. It wasn’t. Instead, the same person, had someone throw some items in a bag-chocolate cake and one bun. Overall, this felt more like a budget stay than what people associate with a Riad experience."
"Staff was so helpful in every way! Especially the two Mohas went out of their way to make our first time in Morocco fantastic. We were on the first floor and loved that we could take our meals or use the hot pool while right outside the room in the beautiful courtyard. They clean everything from top to bottom every day."
"We did not see much of the neighborhood, as we used our time to relax so can’t comment on that."
"Riad Dama was an excellent choice for my weekend in Marrakech; there is a beautiful courtyard garden as you walk in, and the terrace where breakfast is served is comfortable with views of the city. The best thing was though, that You instantly become friends with the guys who worked there - met some fantastic people, like Mohamed, during my stay who truly welcome you."

"The welcome from both Mohammeds was exceptional. Loved the authenticity of the riad and the location was great. Slightly away from the tourist area of the Medina which was an advantage but all sites well within walking distance. Hope to return!"

"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!"

Paul Hotel Palace Zaida
"Quiet location, garbage to store the bicycles. Shared bathroom was clean and close to the room, which had its own sink. Good hot shower. Friendly owners."
Casey Hotel Imilchil
"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!"
Samer Le Gite du Barrage
"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."

"We really enjoyed our stay at “Kasbah du Bout”. The host was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. The Kasbah was very clean and well kept. We experienced a relaxing atmosphere and stay. We recommend staying here when visiting Zagora. Fred K. United States."
"Amazing camp accessible by car. We only had front-wheel drive Dacia, so it was a bit difficult to get there. If you go, lease a 4x4 for sure. We only wanted a day trip on camels, so we arrived by car. There are many camps that you can visit on a multi-day trip on camels deeper in the desert, however, if you only want a day trip on camels and have car, this is a must-visit. Personnel superb, food superb Bathroom facilities better than most hotels, in the tent (available outside of tent as well - they have public bathrooms) They booked a day trip on camels. We wanted to try this limited version before going on a multiple day trip on camels. I suggest telling them that you don't want to spend 4h on the lunch break. It's too long. 2h of break is enough. You go about 2h on camels' backs and then back after lunch. This camp was top 2 experiences we had in morocco. If you want larger and more iconic sand dunes, visit Merzouga. The dunes here are small, yet beautiful"

"The service and good care of Brahim were amazing. The lush and calm garden and salon of the Riad were great. We had an amazing time here and our daughter loved it as well."
