the riad is well located, well restored and the rooms are really beautiful. Very good restaurant, and the roof on the terrace offers a suggestive view all over the medina. But, as always, the human factor is the best quality of the Riad Darbensouda. The staff (all youngs) is really amazing, professional, helpful in everything the guests need. One of... More

The riad is in a good location, especially if you can navigate the medina. The rooms give you an authentic feel and the rooftop terrace is wonderful. Said is so helpful in everything that we asked. He was so patient and understanding. He even offered to have someone take us to where we wanted to visit and then pick us... More

This is the type of property that you come to Morocco to experience. I’m a bit nervous writing this review, as I don’t want to be booked in perpetuity thereby preventing me from staying again. However, they do deserve the praise. Premier personalized service, head and shoulders above other places (though the standard in Morocco is quite high). We received... More
