Guest reviews for Riad Soundouss
"Riad Soundouss was beautiful beyond compare. Our rooms were very tastefully decorated. The location was just a short walk to the central medina and souks. Jean-Francois and Ibrahim were most warm and welcoming-we arrived as hotel guests and left as friends."
"Aucun."
"Riad Soundouss is an excellent property right in the middle of the city. Everything is well within the reach. The host and staff were wonderful. Jean Francois made us feel home and checked on us every day. Ibrahim was super helpful. He came with a map when we checked in and guided us with all the information. The breakfast served was very good. We tried the authentic Moroccan cuisine at their restaurant once in dinner and liked it so much. We would definitely recommend this property. The staff always helped with hot water whenever we asked."
"Nothing. May be a water kettle in the rooms would be helpful"
"The staff were very attentive and they provided a nice breakfast, including a packed breakfast on the day we needed to leave early. They answered all our questions willingly. The location was excellent with easy access to the medina, yet it was still quiet in the evening."
"We did book last minute so our room was on the main floor, opening right onto the communal area. I believe it was the last room available. This was not ideal. Also, with little circulation in the room - it did feel a little musty, but I believe that comes with the climate and design of the traditional riads."
"The staff was very helpful, well before we arrived at the Riad. The property is gorgeous, with high ceilings in the first floors and decorations everywhere. The showers had strong pressure; mattresses and pillows were extremely comfortable; staff cooked a delicious breakfast. Pro tip: watch the sunrise from the rooftop terrace"

"We had a fantastic 2 bedroom suite linked by a balcony facing the courtyard, graced by 2 singing birds every morning. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Owner Jean-Francois personally helped us to arrange for the driver to the airport to make a detour to look for a pharmacy because our daughter was ill. Ibrahim, the hotel manager, greeted us with a broad smile everytime when he opened the Riad's door for us."
"Maybe the courtyard could be a little warmer in winter ?"
"nice facility very nice host very nice breakfast location family environment"

"Beautiful property. Easy to get to from drop off in medina. Very close to the Secret Garden and Jardin Marjorelle, nice restaurants. Not too far from Gueliz area. Walkable to many site seeing spots. Staff was great and very accommodating. Great service and kind staff."
"Wifi did not extend all the way to the farthest bedroom. It worked very well in our other bedroom. AC could be stronger in one bedroom. Manager will remediate that."
"I loved staying at this Riad, the owner Jean-Francois provided good communication, was kind and very helpful. His Riad is beautiful and the staff were amazing. I really recommend staying here. Great food, beautiful rooms, comfy beds, large bathroom, beautiful facilities."

"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!"

"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!"

"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"
