Riad Dar Bounouar

Oussama is the most awesome person in town! He’s very friendly and made our whole experience in Marrakech, he was able to provide us tips and make sure that my little family was having our best! The room was super specious and beautiful, the place is close to walking distance from everything. The breakfast was nice, in this place you had the feeling that you are visiting some family, it really give you that vibe.

Perfect place for a family of 7 - everything was warm and welcoming and breakfast was fantastic as well. I highly recommend this Riad for your travels! The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean and the owner responded to any issues right away!

Great location. Friendly, helpful hosts/team. Spacious accommodation though not suitable for those with a mobility problem (many steps within building and steep stairs to sleeping area. Room quirky and authentically furnished though very dark. Beautiful roof terrace with sunloungers. Transfers to and from airport were available and Oussama arrange some great day trips for me.

The Riad is situated through narrow alleys and at first quite confusing to get to, but once you know your way it's fine. Osama welcomed us at the Riad and was very hospitable, nothing was too much for him. Great host, we appreciate everything you & your staff did for us. Osama changed our room to a much bigger one with more beds, as the double beds are smaller than a double in the UK, pillows are soft. We got quite sick on the last day and were looked after very well. We got to stay in our room even after checkout at no extra cost, which was very kind. The Riad has a lot of stairs so not ideal for my visually impaired son, but he coped. The rooms are big & spacious. The Toilet ceiling in our Riad (for 7 people) was quite low so my husband and 17 year old (6ft tall) suffered a little. The breakfast was nice, especially the mint tea, but it was the same everyday. The Riad is 5 mins walk to the main Jema Al Fana square. Be careful walking through the bazaar, especially with kids, as motorbikes zoom past at high speed in between pedestrians. Be careful of locals offering to take you back to the Riad if you are lost as they will ask for money in the end, just use Google maps. Watch what you eat, DO NOT eat any salad, or drink tap water (even to brush your teeth). Just get bottled water. We were so sick on our last day, non stop vomiting. Marrakesh was nice, a few days is enough. We had a heatwave in Feb (25-32C) so were lucky! First couple of days were great, but after we got sick we just wanted to come home.

We had some doubts of going to Marakech after the news about the earthquake but we decided to go anyway. The trip and Riad was excellent; we had almost no limitations in the city except for a closed mosque and enjoyed it very much. Osama also helped us with a trip to the desert where we could see the sunset, start and enjoyed dinner and local music. Would recommend!

The riad was absolutely beautiful and at an amazing location. The staff were so lovely and were there to help us with anything at all times. We had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend to stay here!
