Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We arrived to find our accommodation occupied by builders, my heart sank. A carry on film 📽️ immediately came to mind! I'd booked and paid for this month's in advance. But all was not lost, despite the hotel being closed for August, the booking was still valid. The staff did absolutely everything to accommodate us, we were given an upgraded sumptuous second room. They tidied up the ground floor, put out tables and chairs in order for us to enjoy our meals, also the terrace above for us to chill. We came back to our room, after a wander, to find our room transformed. Our housekeeper Fad, was an absolute treasure, warm and friendly nothing was too much trouble for her.
Absolutely nothing, we were treated like royalty!!
Ryad semplice ma molto carino, con buona colazione e personale gentilissimo. Posizione molto comoda. Personale presente 24/24 e check-in check-out 24/24. Tranquillo la notte e letto comodo.
Le charme et le personnel attentionné.
Le problème dans la plupart des Riads, c est la proximité, des portes non isolées, on entend tout ce qui se passe.
Zentrale Lage, freundliches Personal
Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse
Schwer zu finden
Not too far from the main square. Easy to find. On a nice quiet street. Comfortable room. Towels changed regularly. Room cleaned every day. Filling breakfast. Nice rooftop chill spot. Fantastic staff.
Zentrale Lage, die Haushälterin war sehr freundlich und nett zu uns. Das eine Mal, als wir Frühstück bekommen haben, war es sehr gut. Wir konnten für eine Nacht spontan ein besseres Zimmer bekommen. Die Betten sind sehr bequem.
Die alten Holztüren schließen nicht richtig, sodass man wenig Privatsphäre hat. Es gab keine Klobürste! Die Kommunikation war nicht so gut: Wir mussten am Abreisetag etwas früher los als sonst und ich fragte über den Chat bei Booking nach, ob Frühstück auch um 7 möglich ist. Dies wurde mir im Chat bestätigt. Am Morgen der Abreise war diese Interaktion offenbar vergessen und wir konnten nur einen Kaffee bekommen. Das war schade, da wir dies gebucht hatten und mir dies am Tag vorher explizit zugesichert worden war.
Buena ubicación, limpieza impecable trato muy amable
Sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Service, einfach, aber sehr sauber
Everything was fantastic, we enjoyed the whole experience & would recommend & have no hesitation staying again.
nothing
Het vriendelijke personeel, fijne locatie en het was ook erg schoon.
Vrij gehorig maar ook logisch aangezien het een traditionele riad is. Wij hebben er niet veel last van gehad maar Hierdoor kan het wel voelen alsof je minder privacy hebt. Om
Located in a quiet derb yet central in the Medina. Lovely rooftop. Nice beds. Moroccan breakfast.
It was a bit cold and rainy when we arrived. We just had to ask and extra heating was fixed.
Hagyományos Riad, van tetőterasz.
Hideg volt, a légkondival lenne a fűtés, de egy alapos tisztítás ráférne!
Colazione abbondante e molto buona. Il thè alla menta del Riad Linda è il migliore che io abbia bevuto in tutta Marrakech! Per chi desidera stare in pieno centro a Marrakech, è la location ideale. Rachid è molto gentile ed è sempre disponibile per consigli e aiuti.
The staff were super friendly, rooftop area was super nice to chill when the sun is out. Great place to read a book and enjoy the Moroccan tea. The riad is located in the heart of medina but still slightly further from the chaos of it. You do have to navigate through the alleyways but I never felt unsafe at night as a solo traveller to make my way to it. Breakfast was great! A little on the light side but you're in the Medina, you can just get some more 2 mins away. I will stay there again next time I visit Marrakech!
The shower, wish there was a way to stop the water from going all over the bathroom. Curtains would help.
Petit déjeuner très bien.
Bien situé
Accès difficile dans la ruelle de la médina
Perfect staff, lication and value. All you need.
Absolutely beautiful riad that exceeded all expectations. The breakfast on the rooftop was heavenly. Lovely and helpful staff! 10/10 would recommend, and hope to visit again!
Colazione buona
Pulizia
staff很友好,帮助我们解决了问题。
1. 房型错误。我们预定了一个superior double房间,被安排到了一个standered double房间,第二天早上我们找了工作人员,他们解释说是因为有一个客人生病了,没办法换房间。我们不理解为什么一开始不能告诉我们,我们能够理解这样的特殊情况。这样的情况导致了事实上我们住了/付了一个晚上不是我们实际上住的房间价格,我们的行程总共才两天。第二天我们才被换成我们原本预定的房间。我们认为工作人员是知道这个情况并且可以提前告知我们的,但是直到我们提出我们预定的房型和被安排住的不一样,他们才告诉我们并且安排换房,这个经验非常不友好。 2. 噪音问题。我们第一个晚上这个标准房间在平层,厨房旁边,非常吵,没有任何隔音。我们入住的两个房间的门都没有办法关严,可以听到半夜的入住以及早上的早餐,没有任何隐私可言。 3. 办理入住登记并没有规范化流程。我们进入后,员工给我们开门了后,就直接进入了厨房(之后为我们准备了茶水),我们独自在庭院中央等了半小时,没有人给我们讲解关于这个raid的基础设施等,包括露台和早餐时间,知道我们出动提出我们想要看房间并且放下行李,员工才带我们入住,整个过程很奇怪。 4.潮湿问题。卫生间非常潮湿并且灯光昏暗,通风不好(在booking的照片里面我们没有看到厕所的照片,如果知道是这样的话我们是不会预定的),潮湿问题也许这是马拉喀什老城区的共性问题,但是厕所真的非常老旧。
I enjoyed the stay at Linda’s Riad a lot. It was such a safe haven in the midst of the intense Medina. The stuff was very helpful and friendly indeed, and it was a delight talking to Linda and her husband. The place was clean, quiet and charming.

Lovely rooftop terrace
There was nobody to pick us up at the medina. Navigating the medina and our luggage was a bit stressfull as many People try to scam us whith the sentence "this road is closed"
We have had another most enjoyable stay in this beautiful riad. Bright and spotlessly clean with a stunning roof terrace. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and we are always well looked after. Breakfast on the terrace is always a great start to the day. A few steps away from the noise and chaos of Djemma el Fna yet so tranquil
Nothing
Riad Linda is dark, drab and dreary—at least in a ground-floor room with one window opening to the lobby and kitchen. Old towels and sheets, no soap, no glasses. Not my idea of a “superior” room. The breakfast was average,Given the many other options in Marrakech, look for another place to stay. …I know because our first and longer stay in the city was infinitely better, cleaner, brighter, in great location and cost less. I’d give Riad Linda one star at most and that’s being generous. So, don’t but too much faith in every Booking star or Lonely Planet recommendation.
The cleaning, sheets, towels, light bulbs—-for a start
Breakfast was good and the terrace was a lovely place to have it. The riad location was ideal for exploring the medina. The staff was very friendly and helpful and arranged for a pickup at the airport.
The AC could use an update and it broke down twice, even though this was swiftly fixed by the riad staff.
Very friendly staff and owner, Linda.
Shower head was leaking resulting in water spraying outside shower.
The location is amazing. Right outside the lane you have you have everything sorted! Clean and great breakfast.. amenities provided in toilet! Spacious… Hot water running well! 👌🏻 And the staff gets 10/10 rating!
We were given a room near the kitchen, it was quite disturbing in the morning! We were aware of it as it showed on the booking so we were prepared. Also, the door is kinda loose, so it doesn’t lock well, which means no sound proofing at all. Keep an eye out on city tax collection, as I had one of the guy collecting a lil more than what he should.. Rest all was amazing👌🏻
Staffs are very friendly and helpful.
Very nice Riad in the center of Marrakech. The staff is helpful and kind and the rooftop is definitely a plus for breakfast and for some relax after strolling in the Medina.
Quiet simple room with a good bed and shower. Lovely terrace. Kind and positive owners.
Breakfast was tasty but maybe a little too simple.
Good central location, although at the end of a long dark alleyway, staff very welcoming, friendly and so very helpful with a nothing is too much trouble work ethic. Beds comfy and nice warm shower. Breakfast was nice with omlete, various breads, fresh orange juice and hot drink which can be taken inside or on the lovely rooftop. Aircon unit also provides heat for chilly evenings and free safe was a bonus. Good communication from hotel ahead of arrival. Use google maps and not maps on iPhone for true location for riad Linda
Toiletries are just shower gel and shampoo, so bring soap for the sink. Building work next door starts at 8, but not a problem as you are up for a day of sightseeing
Comfortable room and kind staff in a great location.
I liked that Linda was present and willing to personally look after visitors.
Nothing really
Location is great, it's litterally 5 minutes by walk from Marrakech main square. The riad is a lovely family run B&B, the rooms are nice and clean and the staff is nice. We appreciated that the guy at the reception is always on site h24, which kinda makes you feel safer when you travel abroad. The breakfast is also very nice we stayed on February but it was warm enough to have it in the cute terrace.
This is not up to them but you need to know that the streets in the Medina are quite narrow and you feel like you're in a labyrinth. So if it's your first time in Marrakesh and you arrive with a late flight it can get quite scary to reach the B&B at night.
I have always wanted to visit Morocco so when an opportunity to come and visit Riad Linda, located in the heart of Marrakech, to hard to resist. Fair to say I was not disappointed and enjoyed the warm welcome from friendly staff and the comfort of my room.
Riad Linda is in a convenient location. We had a lovely room with roof terrace access; it was very clean; and breakfast was nice. We noticed the atmosphere among the staff was lovely and friendly, and they offered us advice and answered our questions.
The noise from one guest in particular travelled to our room, but it wasn’t a major inconvenience.
Another wonderful stay at Riad Linda. Linda and Gordon are both so welcoming, and the staff are all fantastic. The riad is beautiful and very well kept, beds are comfy and the breakfasts are delicious. The roof garden is a charming tranquil spot. The riad is an oasis of calm but close to the central market place, Jemaa el - Fna. We will definitely return!

Nice breakfast and location
Rashid was excellent communicating directions and suggestions of things to do/see. The staff were also excellent; obliging, personable and friendly. Good breakfasts!
It was a little cold at night and in the mornings during breakfast, but that is more to do with the season.
The staff was nice and helpful.
The location is difficult to be accessed, you have to carry your luggage for a long way because you cannot reach the property by taxi. The rooms are too small and with an unpleasant smell and the breakfast is poor, just a simple omlette and some bread and butter with honey and jam.
Authentic Riad style. With cozy rooftop space in a surprisingly quiet area inside the walls.
Location is a bit off the Main Street.
Breakfast was great. Location too
Didn’t like the private bathroom.
Cute riad in an old building for a great price in the heart of Jemaa el-Fnaa, hidden off some quiet side streets. Friendly staff with an English-speaking manager, and expat-owners who are on site to answer any travel questions. Our room on the upper floor was cozy with a comfortable bed, and the terrace was a nice place to rest and have breakfast.
Since it's an older building, some areas could use improvement, i.e. doors/windows not soundproof (heard prayer alarms from mosque everyday at 6am), shower & faucet could be tricky, room smelled musty if windows weren't left open, etc.
Such a lovely Riad with delightful hosts. The location is excellent and it is really pretty inside.
Nothing
What a fantastic base to explore this fascinating city. Besides the great location, Linda, Gordon and their wonderful staff couldn’t have done more to provide a ‘home from home’ vibe. The en suite room was ideal, spotlessly clean, the breakfast excellent, and the terrace a perfect place to chill after a long day sightseeing. I certainly won’t hesitate to rebook when visiting Marrakesh again.
Staff and breakfast
The staff were welcoming and could not be more helpful. Breakfast including freshly baked bread was delicious.
Great location although we did get lost the 1st time we left the Riad, welcoming friendly staff, quiet roof terrace with lovely variety of seating areas. Good room with comfy beds and plenty of hot water.
The hotel is really nice, the location is perfect. The staff is super friendly. The breakfast was good, fresh and with variety of food I need to mention that the owner helped us with a problem with have with our tour, if he wasn’t there we would have lost our excursion. So thanks a lot to him!
We have the room in the ground floor, next to the breakfast area so it was a bit noisy. But the rest was all good!
Location, comfortable beds, friendly, small and nice place to chill.

Our stay at Riad Linda was excellent. Great location and close to everything. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Lovely sunny terrace we used it in the evenings to relax. The Moroccan breakfast was very good. We also had a lovely Moroccan lemon chicken tagine on our first night. Airport shuttle was very good borh ways. Thank you for a lovely stay Neville and Julia
All good
I had a very pleasent stay at the riad, I loved the breakfast on the rooftop it was the perfect way to start the day. The breakfast was a bit different every day that we appreciated a lot and it was enough for us. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and helpful with anything. We are going to stay at Riad Linda on our next trip to Martakech. Thank you for the hospitality!
We were locked outside twice in one night because they didnt give us a key and the night worker wasnt answering the door. This happened twice in one night We paid for 3 beds and they refused to let in our senegalese friend so we paid 3 beds for nothing Wifi was bad and non existent on the porch The air vents were dirty
Location is great - minutes away from Jemaa al fna but away from the hustle and bustle.
Photos give the impression of bright and airy rooms when in fact, they are quite dark and enclosed. The bed in our room was crammed in and difficult to manoeuvre around. Our room was located on the ground floor and was.right beside reception, breakfast area and the kitchen. This meant there was no privacy and no chance of sleeping past 8 when breakfast service started. The staff kindly moved us to a room on the first floor at our request. The riad is a little tired looking and lacks atmosphere - a little like being in a library. Unfortunately during our stay there was extensive building work going on in 2 adjacent buildings which reverberated throughout the riad (particularly loud on the roof terrace). I understand that this is not the fault of the riad but a heads up would have been nice - there was no chance of relaxing. Also note that tourist tax is €3 per person per day, not €2.50 like it says on booking.com.
The staff were fantastic and the Riad nice and cool in the hot temperatures.
Trying to find Road Linda on our arrival at Marrakesh. After 22.00 hrs the taxi dropped us off at the other side of the square and we were lost and open for the scammers to rip us off.
This Riad is conveniently locared to visit the Medina. Although it is close to Jamaa el Fna square, it is very quiet and perfect to relax after the stress of the area. Linda, the owner, and Rachid, the person in charge, are friendly and helpful. Excellent Breakfast and nice terrace.
The shower has no door.
Nice & cosy accommodation with a great terrace in a very central location straight in the medina. The people were all super friendly. And we got fantastic breakfast every morning. Would definitely recommend this accommodation and try to come back.
So very peaceful and harmonious - excellent location and the best staff ever.

Breakfast was my first introduction to a Moroccan breakfast and I enjoyed it very much - well cooked and presented with tasty range of condiments. I particularly like that there are no TV screens in the bedrooms and that everything is simply traditional with artistic decor
I was happy with everything.
Very clean and easy to find riad . Breakfast was delicious
I DID NOT LIKE ANYTHING FROM A TO Z AS IT WAS DESCRIBED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL EVERYTHING IS WRONG I AM A FREQUENT TRAVELLER THIS IS THE VER BAD EXPERIENCE. ESPECIALLY BREAKFAST IS ONLY ONE CHAPATI WITH ONE PLAIN FRIED EGG AND 4 PIECES OF A STONE BUN ONE SMALL CUP OF COFFEE AND ONE GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE THATS IT.
Felt save, staff were so accommodating and friendly. It is very close to the main square but very peaceful. The breakfasts were delicious.
I liked everything, but please be aware no taxis can access the small alleys so a bit of a walk to the Riad. Thankfully a member of staff kindly met me at the taxi drop off when I first arrived. I would never of found it first time by myself!!
Breakfast was adequate. Staff were very helpful especially Wadii. Gordon and Linda were lovely hosts. Rooftop was a nice place to chill. Taxis and tour guide organised by the hotel were excellent.
Would have liked a small table and chairs in the room. Kettle, tea, coffee and cups would have been nice.. Change in breakfast menu.
Apart from the noisy Jardin room the staff was very pleasant, the room was clean and breakfast was delicious. If we stayed in a different room and wouldn't have had this conflict with the owner, I am sure we would have enjoyed our stay at this Riad. But after this experience I am sure I will not recommend it nor stay in it ever again.
We had bad experience at Riad Linda. We booked a double room over the Booking.com mobile App and nowhere in the photos nor in the description in the app was written that our room is a "Jardin room" (= very noisy room directly next to the main lobby with reception and breakfast area divided only by a thin wall). Our door and small window (which both couldn't be closed properly) aimed directly to the lobby and breakfast area. When we were going out from the room, everybody could have had a look directly into our bed. From our bed through the little window we could see (and mainly hear) people having breakfast like they would be sitting directly next to our bed. We felt like having no privacy because our every word could be heard properly by people in the lobby. However the most disturbing fact for us was that our sleep was disturbed in the morning by the first people having breakfast. Immediately when we saw this room, we knew we do not want to stay there. We asked politely for a different room somewhere in the upper floor because we really needed a good night sleep that night. The owner lady told us that no room in the upper floor was available. So we asked her politely for returning us the money. She started to behave very arrogant that we should be satisfied with that room "like all her customers before" and that she will not return a cent. She told us that we should leave the room if we are not satisfied but she will not give us our money back. Nice idea, isn't? So we had a little argument in the evening with her. We could feel that she was interested only in our money. She didn't care if people are satisfied with the room or not. In my opinion not a good quality in a host. Money is not everything. Satisfied customers should mean more. And we were definitively not satisfied customers. But yes, she won.
Central location, delightful staff, comfortable and charming.
Perfect location to explore the Medina, all sights are within easy walking distance. Helpful and very kind staff, good breakfast, clean room. The whole place has a very authentic riad atmosphere, highly recommended.
Nothing significant! There could be more power plugs to charge devices - I know this is an old riad and we absolutely managed with what was available, but be aware. If you have a car, do not try to navigate to the hotel - some apps may try to do that, but it is just impossible. We lost quite some time learning this… use one of the inexpensive parking lots around Jemaa el-Fnaa and walk to the hotel.
The Riad and its hosts are great, in every aspect. The location is in the lower part of the Marrakech Medina, which means that most of the sightseeing spots are accessible by walking, which for us was important because we felt Marrakech that way. The breakfast is truly Moroccan and the lady serving too kind. Internet was superb. It is definitely a value for money.
One particular moment that shocked us at first sight was the fact that you could hardly find the Riad (and majority of all the riads) by yourself, i.e. if not guided by the people who transport the luggage with 'ricksha' (paid service). The shock was actually the trajectory which leads through a total crowd, and then immediately the 'driver' turns in a small/narrow totally quiet street. We were passing through this narrow street for about 10 minutes until we reached the riad deep in the medina labyrinth, but surely felt fully insecure (despite knowing that Marrakech is considered quite safe). The days after was fully fine from this aspect and once shown, the Riad could be easily found again. Moreover, riad is not a hotel and visitors are advised to familiarize with the concept of riad before booking, and avoid it in case they strongly prefer a hotel. If not, the riad experience is rather unique and fantastic!
The riad has a peaceful but great central location. The staff are so kind and helpful and looked after me so well. The terrace is beautiful and I had a wonderful breakfast there. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable and the staff were so attentive.
Nothing
Almost every thing
Location - the center of Marrakesh, close to everything and at the same time very quiet in the apartment and intimate. Incredible service, family atmosphere and the feeling of being taken care of from the moment of picking up from the airport until saying goodbye. Excellent breakfasts, very varied. Everyone very friendly, very helpful in a problematic moment. I highly recommend Riad Linda, definitely one of the nicest places I've lived in during many years of traveling.
