Not really anything bad to mention.

Riad Jabador was a really good find. The host was superb and very helpful, plus the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. You cannot get to the riad door by car but you can park on the main road which is close. If you are on a motorbike like us you can fit it inside the riad :).

The room was very hot with no fans or air conditioning. We understand having air conditioning in such a traditional old property is difficult, but a fan would have made a huge difference in terms of comfort in mid-August! Sadly the noise on our first night kept us all awake as there was a music festival near-by. The second night we hoped to sleep better as the festival had finished. However, we heard loud motorbikes and shouting and people talking outside our window until about 5am! So none of us were able to sleep and we are all a bit tired today and looking forward to catching up on sleep in our next apartment! There are lots of services and facilities advertised on booking.com for this property which just simply don't exist. I think maybe it's a translation problem or something but please be mindful when booking that this is a BASIC place to stay with no mod cons, no manned reception, no extras.. It is very expensive for what you get. (I'm sure it was lovely a few years ago). The shower attached to our family room was running hot and cold and it was not really possible to find a good temperature! It needs an update sadly! The room was spacious and looked beautiful but there was a smell of faeces by the door to the room, so we just avoided that area. There was some confusion at the end of our stay when we were charged for the free airport shuttle that had been provided on our arrival. I guess the free shuttle wasn't free :) Perhaps it was my error. Anyway, this facility is no longer available on booking.com, so it will probably not impact anyone else. Anyway, its easy and cheap just to get a regular taxi from the airport if you need it.

This is an absolutely beautiful, 300 year old Riad. The wood and tiles and decor were incredible. We loved the Riad! The owner and his family were so so lovely and attentive and really made us feel welcome! My sons enjoyed talking to the owner's little grandchildren who were so adorable!! Sale is very quirky and everyone we met was really nice. This apartment was a short walk and tram ride away from Rabat! My children enjoyed the breakfast which was mainly pancakes and thin crumpets!! And I loved the coffee and orange juice :) delicious. There was a fridge in the room which was great to store bottled water. There were plenty of plug sockets in the room to use, which was great! We had a great stay, thank you!

A truly authentic stay in a traditional Riad. The owner and his family made us feel so welcome and cared for and have helped us on many occasions. They went way beyond to make our stay memorable.

Can be noisy....dog barking nearby at night etc. Would hear other people if noisy or coming in late etc. I was the only one there....which I loved. No yoga mats on rooftop.....suggestion given for improvement. No front desk....but I didn't have a problem, as you see the owners at breakfast. You could email them too. Suggestion....provide bottled water in room for arrival. Option for fruit platter etc? Salè shops mostly take cash only....come prepared. Cats, cats, cats (not in the riad). The odd dead one in the street. Live chickens butchered to order in the medina.

The location is great. Near to airport. 15 min walk to beach to swim. 20 min walk to Salè train station. 2 min walk to bank to change money. I stayed here 2 nights and enjoyed a slow pace of life. I want to come back, with friends....or without. They have 4 rooms only. Two with a double bed, two that sleep 4 people. My room was enormous. I loved doing yoga on the rooftop, with ocean views. WiFi worked perfectly. Decor superb. Not new, or fancy, but delightful. Owners could not do more to make me feel welcome. Room has no outside windows...fewer flies and mosquitos. Rooftop a nice space to use. People in the town all very friendly. I felt safe as a single female visitor.

beautiful riad run by a very nice family, we had a great time. The house and the room was very spacious and really nicely decorated, excellent breakfast served in the atrium. the hosts were very kind and attentive. If you're looking for a place in Rabat this is a bit too far however we loved the family atmosphere here and a peaceful location in Sale. we had our car so it was easy otherwise you can take a boat/tram (15-20 min walk from the riad)

The Riad is beautiful. Clean comfortable homely and quite splendid. The host family are warm kind helpful and good company. The location was also great with access to the the Sale Medina and transport walk boat tram to Rabat always interesting cheap and fun.

The entrance to the bathroom was through 2 'high' stairs, which were difficult to navigate. There was no heating in the room and no heaters. Thankfully, it was a warmish evening.

Very colourful, and very decorative. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, freshly prepared and served with love, nice big room, comfortable bed with an electrical (under) blanket. The house was easy to locate, in a small but very clean street. It was raining when we left and the host was kind enough to walk outside to give us instructions to go to the airport.

Hot water could have been better.

Super helpful hosts.

The hosts were extremely friendly and attended to our every need, even taking the time out to give us a map and give us the best route to explore Rabat. Breakfast was delicious and the best we’ve had at any Riad in Morocco. We couldn’t fault this place.

Taxis had some difficulties to find it. There was a bit of a musty smell in the room, as there are no windows to the outside, only into the courtyard.

A beautiful spot with very gentle and friendly people. They gave useful tips to get around. Nice breakfast, served for you at your own table in front of the room. I would recommend everyone who would like to have an authentic experience to come here.

I had an incredible stay here !! The owner and his daughter went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, showing such warmth and hospitality. The place itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and beautiful architecture that made every moment special. And the breakfast – absolutely amazing! This stay exceeded all my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience.

There was nothing to dislike but taxi from the airport didn't know where the hotel was and we were a bit apprehensive.

How friendly and caring the whole family was helping us to organise where to eat and bring us to the Haman baths.

Stayed in January 2024

We prefer the room's floor to be off shoes especially when it has carpets on. Cleanliness of the room's floor could be improved.

It is an old Riad with beautiful carvings, own personality and most importantly warm bed in winter. The place itself is in quiet neighborhood so you will have a good rest at night. Breakfast is scrumptious and the host is very friendly and helpful. 2 nights stay would be good! We stayed only for a night.
