    Rachid was super kind and helpful, when we arrived he prepared some mint tea and during our whole stay he was really caring and attentive. The riad is really nice, just a little bit difficult to find because it is inside the Medina, but I highly suggest it

    Everything was great.

    Location was excellent. Rachid and Fatima go beyond their duties to take care of the guests. Rachid was very helpful with not only with the stay but also helped us on many occasions with shopping, taxi bookings, and any questions we asked him. He is a kind and caring person and adds so much value to the whole experience, I would recommend and stay if I ever visit Fes again.

    Beautifully decorated riad at a convenient location in the Medina of Fes. We stayed in the larger room. We enjoyed the breakfast on the very nice roofterras, which has a great view over Fes and offers seats both in sun or shade. The staff was very kind and helpful. All in all a very nice place to stay when visiting Fes.

    Great place! You will feel the atmosphere of real Morocco. Our first experience when it comes to living in a riad. Worth it!!! Rashid is a very nice man with a sense of humor. He is a great host. He can help, you can count on him. Thanks to him, our stay in the city has gained a new dimension. We recommend it with all our hearts!

    I liked everything about it.

    Beautiful, well-maintained riad close to Bab Guisa which made it easy for car drop off/pick up. I was the only guest when I stayed there, so the owner called to check on me, which I appreciated. Rachid took really good care of me. He met me at the medina gate, brought me mint tea and a space heater to keep warm and gave me a tour of the property. Go up to the roof for an amazing view! My stay here & the hospitality I received made me want to return to Fes.

    Every thing was perfect.

    The Riad is beautiful and located in a quiet Alley just a few minutes' walk from all the medina attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable and comes with an AC . From the roof terrace, you can watch sunrise and sunset over looking the whole medina .We loved having our delicious breakfast in the terrace whilst enjoying the beautiful views and sounds of the singing birds. Rashid is the best host you can ask for , he is honest and trustworthy, ready to assist you in any way he can and always there to help you . I definitely recommend this riad and can not wait to be back very soon . Thank you, Rashid and Fatima

    I greatly enjoyed my stay at Riad Dar La Bague Kenza. The riad is in the heart of the old medina just a walk of couple of minutes from Al Qarawiyin or Zawiya Tijania. The room and the whole riad are beautifully decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the room had air conditioning. A highlight was enjoying the delicious local breakfast with a nice view of the medina on the roof terrace. Also, Rachid the gentleman who runs the riad and Fatima the lady preparing the food, were very friendly, helpful and hospitable. Rachid is an honest and trustworthy person, always available, and he will help you with anything you need. He is originally from the old medina and knows everything about Fes. I truly enjoyed our conversations with him and his friends. He organized my transfer from the airport to the riad and from the riad to my next destination, and even accompanied me to the Grand Taxi station. All in all, I can greatly recommend this riad and cannot wait to visit it again. Cher Rachid, choukran bezaf pour tout et à très bientôt InchaAllah.

    De Kenza is the best booking we have made on our entire trip. The manager, Rashid, met us at the entrance to the Medina, so we wouldn’t get lost and we entered a beautiful, Moroccan style home. We were welcomed like family and every need we had was met. Rashid set up a tour, cooked, answered any questions and was very friendly. The food by Hadija and Fatima and Rashid were excellent. It is quiet, clean and stunning. The owner came to visit us because we all have Mexican connections and that visit was perfect. We would highly recommend Bague de Kenza, if you are visiting Fez. It was an experience we will remember always.

    Owner tried to scam me on the already agreed upon price. €10 for a shuttle that was said to be €5, hidden €5 fee for breakfast that was only bread, then an extra €20 that he tacked on to his price simply because he thought I would pay it. Not to mention the sink that did not drain and the itchy bed sheets. Worst Riad experience I had in Morocco. I would have overlooked the faults of the room and not left this review if the owner had not tried to overcharge by over €25 in the end.

    We never met Driss , the super friendly, helpful owner other reviewers had said made their stay so special. We understand he no longer lives at the property which is a shame for guests. We were the only guests, which we think might be quite usual and the guesthouse is only minimally staffed – after breakfast we often saw no one until a quick visit late in the evening . Staff, speaking little or no English consisted of a man plus the happy, smiling Lubna we usually saw at breakfast time . Mostly we felt we were just alone in the whole guest house. As a single traveller, which was my original intention, I would have felt very lonely. We asked for help choosing a restaurant which never happened as no one was ever there at an appropriate time to show us as promised, and there were other things for which we would have liked help and advice . I do need to say that this visit was during Ramadan and perhaps staffing would be different at other times . Our shower area was quite rustic, a circle of old tiles, which quickly filled and flooded the floor on each use, though it dried fairly quickly. On the one hot night during our stay, we could not make the air-conditioning work. Further, and it could have been quite a problem, trying to confirm by text with the owner about payment due to communication difficulties with the hotel man, we discovered the night before we left that their card machine was not working and got the impression this was not something that had just happened. Payment was expected in Euros . We explained to Driss this was awkward for us and the best we could do between us was cover the cash in a mix of euros and sterling. On coming to pay the hotel man on leaving, we were surprised to find he had heard nothing from Driss about our conversation and he was quite bemused at the sight of UK pounds . If forewarned we could have brought euro cash with us. We stayed here for five days.

    There are many good things about this guest house. It has been beautifully and lovingly restored. The roof terrace catches a slight breeze and is a lovely place to sit. The water pressure is good, the water is hot and the bed was comfortable . The location in the heart of the old this part of the Medina (walled city ) was a mixed blessing. it was hugely atmospheric, but personally I struggled to ever find my way back home
