    That we had to go home!

    The Riad was exactly like the photos and even better in real life. Luxurious and clean. Sylvie (the host) was excellent with regards to pre arrival information and any questions. Ousama, the concierge, was a fabulous cook (we pre-ordered an in-house meal), and an all round really helpful guy. He helped us book taxis / contact our Hamman when we were running late.

    Nothing.

    This is a really special Riad and decorated very classily with wonderful design and furniture. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding and Oussama was a perfect host. The communication from the hosts (Sylvie) throughout was first class and the concierge (Charlotte) went out of her way to try to help us with bookings. The 2 pools were amazing and a rare find. Overall perfection.

    We were unaware that the staff would wander in and out of the riad at any time of the day. It was a little disconcerting at times and it may have been better if we had been made aware of this.

    The riad is simply beautiful - well appointed, spacious, superb interior design with fabulous bedrooms, immaculate bathrooms and two wonderful terraces. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The housekeeper was charming and ready to help whenever we wanted. All in all, truly fantastic.

    In 1 room bathroom there is no air flow, so you have to keep doors from bathroom to bedroom as well as to main hall open. If not - there is some kind of smell.

    The apartament were really nice. A lot of place, everything looks pretty new.

    Nothing!

    We came for a family trip over the Christmas break (for us) and it was amazing. The riad is so beautiful, spacious, and immaculately clean. The breakfast cooked by Maria was lovely, and she was also extremely helpful. Sylvie was extremely responsive before and during our stay. The riad is in an excellent location, and we felt safe. We aren’t one to go to a place more than once but Riad Belharra is most definitely going to be an exception for this!

    (Continued from above) TIPS: 1. Bring a travel adaptor that's specific to Morocco so you can charge your electronics 2. If you do not speak French/Arabic use Google Translator app on your phone. You will need it when speaking with Maria and Ibraheim (the driver). Download WhatsApp on your phone. We used it frequently to communicate with Maria and our driver. **On day of arrival, have driver drop you off here: PHARMACIE POPULAIRE. Address: J2M5+HJF, Trik Jazouli, Marrakesh 40000, Morocco. Maria will meet you and have men with wagons to transport your luggage to the riad. Be kind and tip! Remember the route to the riad: From the Pharmacy starting point, walk through the market , after passing the hanging raw meat counter on the right, make the first right at the corner, make another sharp right, keep straight, another right, keep straight (walk through the tunnel), make a left and straight. The riad will be at the end. Thank me later! =============================================== 🙁 As another commenter expressed, the riad is deeply hidden in a maze of alleyways that contain many stray cats (cats are sacred in Morocco), raw meat on the ground, and very, very unpleasant smells. It reminds me of New York City alleys, except in a far worse way. Dressing up to go out for dinner you almost feel contaminated stepping on the cobblestones, holding your clothing and hoping your material doesn't hit the ground. Although the area looks "sketchy" it is safe. You will pass multiple other riads in the alleyways. This particular location has a lot of tourists, so the locals are aware and no one bothers you. There are also many cameras. Sylvie also has a camera directly outside of the front door and on the deck. You can view the cameras on the TV in the riad.

    Riad Belharra was an absolutely gorgeous riad with exceptional decor, Moroccan character, and attention to detail. As you walk in, you pass through a hallway that opens up to a bright tiled-courtyard, lavished in greens and the quaintest of seating areas. You feel relaxed immediately — somehow the noise of the city completely disappears and it is ever so peaceful. The main floor features a cathedral ceiling with retractable glass that allows an open air concept if you prefer. The crowning glory is the two roof terraces, with panoramic views over the Marrakech cityscape. The owner Sylvie was exceptional from the beginning to the end. I asked her many questions prior to my arrival, and she was friendly and patient. She personally went to the riad prior to our arrival to check and see about any damages from the historic earthquake and sent pics. She also checked in on us during our stay. The manager Maria was truly a gem. Each morning she came to prepare breakfast. She doesn't ask for tips and refused, but we tipped her generously. We had a tour early one morning and she came earlier than she was supposed to so she could fix us breakfast! She washed my clothes and did so many other things. Maria also has many connections and is a huge resource during your stay, so utilize her. If you need a private driver, let Maria know. She will get you in touch with Ibraheim. He is another gem. He was our personal driver the entire week . It was a bonus, because we did not have to worry about infamous taxi driver scams. He is legit, professional and always on time or early. His fee is about 20 Euros or 200 Dirham round trip. It may be a few more depending on where you are going or how many stops you are making. Make arrangements with him for departure to the airport as well. We tipped him very well. Tell him Mrs. Cobb sent you and said Hello, please!

    I liked every thing, but the property should leave guests the exact gps coordinates to get back to the Riad, it did not come up correctly on Google or Apple Maps. We had tagged ourselves at the local restaurant so we’re able to get back after a bit of wandering around the Medina trying to find our way, but for us that was part of the experience. Also as European and Snerican travelers we did not know that staff would be in the Riad working during the day, but Maria snd the other workers were extremely helpful, good people. Also recommend downloading French and Arabic dictionaries to Google translate to facilitate communication.

    The riad is absolutely stunning, with an interior pool in the living/dining area with a retractable glass roof overhead, an excellent roof deck with pools and views of Marrakech- on a clear day you can see the Atlas Mountains in the distance. The beds were very comfortable and large, and each room had recently updated bathrooms with handheld and waterfall options I. The showers. The location is right in the heart of the Medina. Maria prepared us delicious breakfasts and was very welcoming and kind, and took us to an amazing spot to get lunch. Overall one of the best rental properties I have stayed at- 10/10.

    Absolutely nothing!

    This is my 3rd Riad I have stayed in and by far the best. The host is super communicative and available when you need her. The Riad is definitely 5 stars! When my son and I arrived, we could not believe how amazing it was. The pictures, even though great, does not show the significance of the place. Centrally located, about a 10–12-minute walk to the Medina. Maria took care of us, and she is top notch! The food is fantastic as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for hosting us in your fabulous Riad.

    It’s in the souks, so you have to go through an alley way to get there which can be smelly and a tad scary especially at night time, but for the most part it’s fine! The staff are lovely, although we found they do tend to stay in the riad most of the day doing their own thing - we were out for most of the trip so it wasn’t a problem, but there was a day where we decided to stay in the riad and having staff there did feel abit like baby sitting.

    The pictures don’t do it justice as this place is gorgeous!! It had every facility you could look for. The location is also convenient.

    The riad is quite hidden in alleyways with stray cats and it does smell unpleasant, so it doesn’t seem like the place would be nice when we first were walking towards it. However, I was completely wrong. The riad is beautiful and close by to local markets where everyone is so friendly. There are many small markets selling different things and we spent our evenings here making friends. There is local markets selling food and water too which is perfect when you’re too tired to travel to the main square. Location is perfect as you can walk about 15 mins to main attractions.

    We had stayed in Riad Belharra for my dad’s 50th birthday and the stay was exceptionally good. This was our first time visiting Marrakesh and we will definitely be returning to the same riad. The layout of the riad is amazing with two pools and all the decor is modern. Maria, the housekeeper, was amazing and so helpful. She provided us everything we needed and even helped arrange a cake we needed for the birthday. The rooms are very clean and all 3 rooms have an en-suite with AC’s in every room. Sylvie, the owner, was so lovely. She checked up on us and made sure our stay was pleasant. It is a lovely riad to go with your friends or family and I will definitely be visiting again. It is really a hidden treasure! 😍
