Marrakech Homestays

"My stay at Riad Belikoss was OK, but not totally satisfying. The staff is friendly, the check in was OK. The guys at the reception (Larbi) and the boys at breakfast (rooftop) were very friendly. But the welcome drink (mint tea) was not hot. Hmmm. The room itself was not that bad, but for the price paid, the cleanliness was doubtable (see photos). Hopefully this can be cleaned better in the future if the management reads this. The breakfast was reasonable, with Orange juice, an omelette, a few pieces of fruit, a Moroccan pancake (msemmen) with chocopaste, honey and jam. I missed 2 things: yoghurt and Amlou (Moroccon peanut butter). This should be improved. And very important: my coffee was cold! They serve you black coffee in a small thermos can, but still it wasn't hot! Coffee should be really hot. Also, they served me back coffee only, and after asking they provided milk. It should be there in the first place. No salt and pepper on the table for the eggs. The amount of bread served at breakfast was small. Not too bad, but there are things to be improved. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was like 'where is the pool'? Is this it? Can't really call it a pool. Positives: The Air-conditioning was good. Room design and Riad decorations are nice. Room door (see picture) is old and green with mold. Should be replaced urgently. Curtains are not blackout, you will still have light coming in the room. Room is not sound proof but at night it was quiet There are only windows facing the inside of the building, no outside-windows, so no fresh air coming in, causing a lack of oxygen at night. If you get a very cheap room price (like less than 20 euros) it's acceptable, it's too much for this Riad. Conclusion: it's a beautiful Riad, but there are things to be improved. But Larbi is great, thank you my friend."

"The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful! They tried to solve any problems they had, thank you. The apartment was spacious and clean, odor-free, and the bed was comfortable. The location was quite convenient: a 20-minute walk to the train station and the medina, 10 minutes to the Majorelle Garden, and there's a grocery store next door. Nearby is a cemetery, a prison, and a construction site 😂 That's where the positives end. There were plenty of negatives. At first, we were greeted by a broken lock on the door, and we couldn't open it. On the second day, we were offered a room change; it turned out to be basically the same, but without a window in the bedroom, so we stayed in the first room and learned to open the door ourselves. The apartment had poor lighting in the living room and bedroom, making it dark. There were just a single bulb hanging from a cord with a cold light, and there were no bedside lamps like in the photo, making it very uncomfortable. The bathroom is spacious, but the sink (or maybe the faucet) was leaking, creating a puddle under the sink. The shower is missing a curtain, and there's a gap between the floor and the partition—as a result, there's a lot of water on the floor after showering. Toilet paper, soap, and shower gel are available, but there are no trash bags anywhere. There's a rag in the kitchen and dishwashing detergent missing. On the second day, the internet stopped working for a day. It then worked again, but it was extremely unstable on the third floor. This is important for tourists! Overall, the entire apartment feels old, tired, and in need of a proper renovation, not the ”good enough” look it has now. On my last night, at four in the morning, I was awakened by noise: my bedroom window overlooked the terrace of the neighboring room. The door was open, and I could see many men with naked women. I knocked on their door, and they fell silent, but they didn't open the door. But soon, the noise resumed. I contacted the administrator via WhatsApp, but received no response or even an apology after reading my message. However, immediately afterward, the neighbors closed the balcony, and half an hour later the women left. It became quiet. Draw your own conclusions. I understand this isn't an expensive hotel, and I didn't expect five-star service. But there are basic requirements that should be met. Therefore, I don't recommend this hotel, especially for longer than a night."

"Very beautiful and comfortable riad with very good location. Find easy. All the attractions in pedestrian accessibility. In the room all the elegant and refreshing, there is a pool and terrace on the roof with jacuzzi and plenty of places for recreation. Every day cleaning and bottle of water. There are rails and supplies. Breakfast is delicious, and different. We liked it. Recommend it!"

"Very nice service, tasty breakfast and friendly breakfast with great rooms. But unfortunately wifi was not working on that day ."

"Conveniently located apartments with late check-in available. It's a 20-minute walk to the Medina, 15 minutes to the Majorelle Garden, and 15-20 minutes to the bus and train stations. There are two shops nearby. We ended up with a very basic room – no nightstands by the beds, no wardrobes or hangers, and the hooks in the bathroom were falling off. We didn't bother complaining or asking to be moved as we were only staying for less than three nights. Plus, we booked it just three hours before checking in because our previous *********** host canceled on us."

"Very kind staff and good price!"

"Riad is located right in the center of Medina, it is not difficult to find. Meet with tea and biscuits, the room is excellent, clean, authentic, bottled water in the room, over the course of the day was cleaning and provided more water. Breakfast is good."

"The staff were incredibly accommodating, and the apartment was spotless – a really pleasant stay overall. Having a large Carrefour supermarket nearby was a huge bonus, especially for those who dislike haggling, as big supermarkets are scarce in Marrakech. It's a 20-minute walk to the train station, 20 minutes to the Majorelle Garden, and 25 minutes to the Medina. We were really happy with our choice. For us, it was ideal to be slightly outside all the chaos and just dip into it when needed. Our friends stayed in the Medina and didn't have that luxury!"
