Guest reviews for Riad El Walida
"The room was beautifully decorated with great attention to detail – cozy, and very clean. A highlight was the lovely rooftop terrace with a comfortable seating area to relax. The hosts were fantastic and flexible, even offering breakfast earlier than usual. The location was excellent."
"The only minor downside: the “private parking” turned out to be public parking, which was a bit misleading but could be managed with the directions shared by the hotel staff."
"Beautiful and comfortable place. Wonderful breakfast. Staff beyond amazing. I would give it 11 stars if possible."
"Location is in a busy and noisy part of town so very convenient, but not very quiet."
"Very pleasant stay, the staff is very warm and friendly, like family, patiently and carefully answer all your questions. The property is very beautiful, clean, tidy and quiet, and is conveniently located in the city center. We strongly recommend our friends to choose this property."
"Aucun."
"Gorgeous Riad, delicious breakfast, excellent location and friendly staff. I recommend it!"
"The rooms are not well isolated and you can hear all the noise from the streets"
"The location was good, room was clean, staff is very friendly and accommodating especially when I had to leave early - they serve my breakfast earlier. Will definitely book here again!"
"None"
"The room was a nice size, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great, and even when we asked for eggs or tea/coffee, they brought it with no issues. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The staff was so nice. They really took great care of us, gave us advice, and accommodated all of our needs. The location was perfect and couldn't have been better. Just a short walk to souks, restaurants and most of the main attractions. It was a very safe location and easy to find. We stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. If we go to Marrakesh again, we will definitely book here again. Thank you to the manager Mariam and the staff for such a lovely stay."
"Shower drained slow"
"What an amazing and unusual place this Riad is! From a hardly noticeable door in a small street right off a busy medina you get into a tranquility and beauty of previous centuries! All staff is friendly and helpful, always there for you whatever you need: advises on the tours and places to see and eat in, small requests, etc.. room is very comfortable, beds are amazing! You can easily regulate temperature inside, even when it’s cold in Riad itself. All attractions of Marrakesh are just a short walk away - or a cheap taxi."
"Inward-facing windows make you exposed to any noise in the courtyard, you might need earplugs to sleep if you go to bed earlier than 11-12 at night, and want to sleep past 8 am. It’s not a big thing, but one needs to be ready for that. We did face a no-hot-water issue in our last day due too many people getting ready in the morning at the same time (group of 20 people, which is rare). Might need to be mindful about getting your show as early as possible. Check in/check out times on Bookjng.com are misleading, as they only mean - if there is an opportunity. Official check -in - post 15:00, but we were lucky to get in around 1 pm. Was uncomfortable on departure, as we were expecting to vacate the room at 15:00, as per Booking.com information, but were told to do that by 11 am. Yes, you can sit in the lobby and keep your stuff there, but I’d prefer to know that in advance."
"Everything was great! The riad is situated close to many places of interest. When you enter the door you find yourself in a real palace! Everything looks so beautiful! The breakfast were splendid but soo big! :) All the staff was really friendly and helpful with all our questions! Big thanks to Meryem for a very warm meeting! 🥰"
"The rooms were a bit dark, but as we came there only to sleep that really was not a problem"
"Everything, even the breakfast, was awsome! Also Meryem was so kind!"

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!"

"I needed a place to stay on my way through and this fit the bill. Happy to have stayed there. The staff was especially helpful."
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!"

"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"
