Riad Ifoulki

Fantastic location and a very warm welcome. It seems like a big place but you hardly see anyone as you’re all spread out. Breakfast was lovely, they sit you down and give you some mint tea when you’re checking in, and the owner or staff are always on hand to check that you’re enjoying your stay. We didn’t stay for dinner but will next time. Will definitely be back.

⭐ **1 Star – Never again this Riad!** ⭐ I stayed at this riad as a group leader, guiding **16 women** on a trip – and what we experienced was nothing short of **unacceptable** and **highly unprofessional**. One evening, the owner **Peter** brought a bottle of red wine to our table, claiming it was a **gift from a mutual friend** of his and one of our travelers. That seemed like a kind gesture – until **check-out**, when I was suddenly **charged for that “gift” bottle**. And that was just the beginning: Despite having clearly communicated our **check-out time of 07:30** (we were **17 people** with a fixed departure at 08:00 for a 10-hour journey!), **no one was present at reception**. We waited until **07:50**, when a young and clearly unprepared staff member finally opened the front desk. The experienced manager **Abdullah**, who speaks German, was nowhere to be found. The check-out process was a total mess: 🔹 No invoices 🔹 No receipts 🔹 Cash only 🔹 Everything was handwritten 🔹 No transparency whatsoever As I finally came to the desk – already seriously delayed – I was suddenly **handed a phone**. On the line was Abdullah, telling me I still owed money from **October**: one bottle of wine and a beer. I had **fully paid** back then (again: no receipt, no proof, cash only), and yet I was being **accused without evidence** – during the rush of departure, in front of my group. Outrageous! Out of pressure and to avoid further delays for my clients, I paid – but let me be clear: 👉 In over **31 years of leading international travel groups**, I have **never encountered such disorganization and questionable practices**. 🔴 No transparency 🔴 No professionalism 🔴 No accountability 🔴 Cash-only policy without receipts 🔴 Disrespectful treatment of guests I will **never return** to this riad, and I strongly advise all travelers, tour guides, and travel professionals to **stay away** from this place. If you value **integrity, organization, and respect**, this is **not** the place for you.

Spent a very enjoyable 4 nights in this authentic riad with my husband end January 2025. Stayed in a junior suite on the first floor with a lovely large balcony. Very informal, relaxed vibe. Breakfasted on rooftop terrace and enjoyed some dinners with owner Peter and fellow guests of different nationalities - lots of opportunities to practise French and German! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

A beautiful building with lovely open courtyards with orange and lemon trees. All rooms very individual and quite different from other hotels. Comfortable beds, sympathetic Moroccan decor and a haven from the vibrancy for eh city. Food was traditional and both excellent and generous. The staff were exceptional.

Wonderful location. A great experience for the spirited trave!ler. We booked a standard room which was adequate for our needs but would advise taking one of the larger rooms or junior suites. Having read some of the negative reviews, they just don't reflect our experience of the riad. This is not a five star hotel (You get those outside the medina). It is home open to guests who can become as involved as they wish. Breakfast is from 9 ' til 6 ( yes, that's right) with a complete choice of where you have it served with dinner from 7pm on the roof along with all the other multinational guests with whom you may engage in conversation through the good offices of the multilingual and eternally youthful owner, Peter. The staff were, without exception, young, enthusiastic, friendly and very obviously loved what they were doing. Can thoroughly recommend. Thanks for a great experience.

The Riad Ifoulki Marrakech Week’s stay, late October / beginning November2024. Couple - North-west England. We booked this place because we wanted to stay in a traditional Riad . Its design and ambiance was just what we had hoped for. A haven of peace after discovering the souks,, We had a junior suite with a delightful terrace where we enjoyed breakfast each morning. The bed was comfortable but the bedding needs updating . The rest of the suite was fine and we enjoyed hot showers whenever we needed them. Dinner was available each evening, informal, all sitting together at a large table with other guests and our host, Peter the owner of the Riad. A special occasion was dinner on the roof terrace at sunset. Multi lingual, Peter, made us most welcome and Abdullah, the manager and general factotum, was always there to help with whatever we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much, felt very welcomed, looked after and very comfortable..all the staff were willing and helpful
