Riad DAR BARBI

Lovely accomodation and owner Barbara and her staff were very heplful, friendly and always available.. Accomodation was spotless with lovely sun roof Breakfasts were top class and real value for money. Could not fault the accomodation.

Difficult to navigate around the streets if walking and slightly noisy during nightime hours due to close proximity of nearby mosques. This is not the accomodations fault.

Curatenia si arhitectura

Se aufe din strada moscheea

Jamais déçu toujours au top merci à Youssef et Barbara pour leur chaleureux accueil. A bientôt Inch'Allah

Os funcionários eram fantásticos e muito prestáveis. O pequeno almoço era soberbo e servido no terraço. Cama confortável e sempre gel de banho e champô. Limpavam e arrumavam o quarto todos os dias. Decoração bonita

Pouco isolamento do barulho dentro do Riad, mas não se ouvia muito da parte de fora. A localização era algo estranha mas central.

Zeer nette riad en zeer gastvrij personeel.

Muy comodo el desayuno muy rico

La ubicación un poco lejos

L'accoglienza della signora Barbara e l'educazione di Youssef

pulizia

niente

El Riad por lo general estaba muy limpio , el personal muy amable pero no nos cruzamos con ellos cuando necesitamos pedir algo, era difícil localizarles.

El barrio te hacía sentir inseguro ya que estaba lejos de la plaza , para llegar eran todo callejones con gente local y extraña . Por la noche había mucho ruido, hay una mezquita en frente de la cual a las 5 de la mañana se oían rezos en un altavoz a todo volumen , y había niños jugando en la calle hasta altas horas …. muy poca insonorización, se oye todo……

Das Riad liegt in einer ehr ruhigeren Seitenstraße, von der aus man jedoch in 5 Minuten in die Souks laufen kann. Die Zimmer sind zwar klein jedoch sehr sauber und modern, zudem gibt es eine große und gemütlich Terrasse sowie Sitzmöglichkeiten direkt vor dem Zimmer. (an denen man auch sein sehr leckeres Frühstück serviert bekommt) Die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr freundlich. (Zur Begrüßung ein Tee etc. ) Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Riad.

Alles war gut.

Dejlig terrasse. Spændende hus. Moskeen kunne høres. Der var lidt afstand til centrum. Virkelig god introduktion til området og tips og tricks. Vi følte os meget velkommen. Der var meget rent og pænt. Hyggeligt. God service.

Støjende fra moskeen. At der kunne ryger i fællesområdet indenfor.

Nous avons séjourné dans ce riad à Marrakech entre amis et tout s’est parfaitement déroulé. Un grand merci à Youssef, qui est extrêmement gentil et très arrangeant : il nous a notamment organisé une sortie à Agafay ainsi que nos déplacements en taxi, ce qui a grandement facilité notre séjour. Le riad est très joli, avec une décoration soignée et authentique, et l’ambiance y est particulièrement calme et reposante. Mention spéciale pour les petits déjeuners, qui sont délicieux et très appréciés pour bien commencer la journée. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit !

Las personas que nos sirvieron el desayuno y la limpieza

Teníamos reservado el travel desde el aeropuerto, esperamos hora y media y no apareció, al final cogimos taxi por nuestra cuenta y al llegar al hotel, Bárbara nos recibió a gritos y malos modales. No quiso aceptar que su taxi no estaba esperándonos, incluso le mandamos un mail cuando llevábamos media hora esperando y no contestó. Inaceptable ese trato

Very friendly and kind owners! They were super helpful during my stay, even looked after my bags while I left Marrakesh for Mount Toubkal.

Hyggelig vertskap, rolig nabolag og sentralt

El personal es muy amable, Joseph fue muy lindo, me explicó todo sobre la ciudad y siempre estuvo atento.

Caminar por las calles de la medina puede ser complicado, pero el alojamiento es muy bonito y cómodo.

Friendly host, good breakfast, good location

Not sure if all Riads are like this, but it was very loud. You hear every guest that enters the building, talks at reception or in hallway, opens their door.. fine during the day (unless you’re trying to have a siesta) but very annoying when guests come in at midnight and later (especially the clueless ones who don’t seem aware that others might be sleeping.) Also kids are playing outside the window until at least 11pm every night.

Accueil chaleureux

Estadia incrível. Fomos muito bem recebidos pela Bárbara e pelo Youssef. Tudo estava muito bem cuidado. O pequeno-almoço é muito bom 👌Recomendo imenso!

Colazione buona e abbondante, la posizione non centralissima ma comoda comunque, facendo 20 minuti a piedi o con un taxi facilmente reperibile x la famosa plaza jaamaa El fna

La stanza che avevamo era molto carina, ma troppo piccola x 2 persone.

Assolutamente fantastico! Miglior posto non potevamo trovare! Pulizia, cortesia, ambiente bello e curato, posizione top, colazione buonissima, letti molto comodi

Barbara e tutto lo staff sono persone squisite e molto disponibili. Molto buona e abbondante la colazione. Stanza piccola ma accogliente.

Lo bonito y limpio que estaba

Retirado de la Plaza Jemma

Magiczne miejsce, piękne wnętrza, czysto, doskonałe śniadania, cudowni ludzie. Idealne ❤️ Jeśli wrócimy do Marakeszu, to właśnie tutaj.

The big breakfast and the relaxing terrace were the highlights. Located in a pleasant local neighbourhood tucked away from the tourist and tourist-catering masses. Very clean.

Not many places to eat immediately near the property but it’s only a 10min walk to the nearest strip.

Riad pulitissimo, colazione ottima. Barbara è il punto di riferimento necessario per chi va in Marocco per la prima volta

Very clean property, all facilities, exactly as described, good breakfast, very nice owner.

Quite difficult to find the property location. Inconvenient location for daily commuting.

Everything was perfect, Barbara is amazing host

Hanno aspettato il nostro arrivo con volo in titardo, accogliendoci con un ottimo the verde. La proprietaria del Riad, Barbara, una persona molto accogliente, gentilissima e preparata su dare consigli e fornire servizi al turista(ad esempio servizio navetta aeroporto, colazione in Riad, veramente abbondante e ottima). Terrazza con tavoli per concludere la serata con la propria famiglia a fare chiacchiere. Joseph, tuttofare della struttura sempre presente e disponibile. Location situata dentro la medina, a 10 minuti dalla movida di marrakech, zona molto tranquilla e silenziosa, anche alla sera si raggiunge il riad in tranquilla senza nessun problema di nessun genere. Ottima puliza, arredamento in stile arabo da mille e una notte.

Everything was well maintained and spotless throughout our stay, and the peaceful atmosphere made for a very relaxing visit.

Endroit charmant, personnel agréable, ma mère et moi avons apprécié notre séjour

All things are good

Great place, very clean, room cleaned every day, clean towels every day, comfortable and nice. Like at home

Clean, welcoming host, amazing breakfast on the terrace

Nothing at all

A warm welcome, attentive staff, a very generous breakfast.

No dinner. But lots of restaurants nearby for different budgets.

Owners were friendly and helpful. Good communication. When you arrive you will pass through alleys, and experience the reality of people still living in the old part of the medina. Riad inside decoration is beautiful.

As previous comments suggested, Wifi is poor, gets disconnected often. Location of Riad is OK, within the old medina.

Lovely staff who were always very attentive and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Location is in the Medina but approx a 25 min walk to the square, we found it nice to be a bit further out and explore a different part of the city. A little haven to come home to away from the hustle bustle of the Medina. The rooftop area is very beautiful and peaceful, and there are nice tables to sit at outside each room

There is a mosque next door that can be loud at times, but all part of moroccos charm. (PS Keep in mind that some doors of the souks close around 10pm! We got caught out coming home and it was hard to find a way out.)

Everything! It was so lovely! Our hosts were so generous!

Nothing!!!

Nice and cozy hotel, friendly staff

You can hear every word and action inside the hotel, because of the inner well

This is a beautiful Riad in the Medina (Old Town). It is in a quiet lane away from most of the main attractions but easily walkable. Marrakech is very safe as well. The hosts Youssef and Barbara were very helpful with information prior to our visit and I would recommend booking a taxi through them to get to the Riad. The rooms are compact but more than enough room for a short stay with a great bathroom and shower. The room is cleaned every day with fresh towels. There is plenty of seating in each floor and a nice rooftop terrace. The biggest compliment is I couldn't fault anything.

Not a single thing.

Beautiful riad, lovely hosts and wonderful breakfast in the morning (best we had in Morocco)

Nothing

The property is stunning and immaculate,the owners here are really lovely and friendly,they also have a really cute sleepy puppy. The room was really comfortable and everything is so clean beautiful. Breakfast was served on the terrace which was lovley,the coffee was so nice. The owners are really helpfull too and were happy for me to keep my luggage there after I checked out and helped arrange a taxi to the airport for me.

Just to be aware the property is in a residential area which is a little more conservative,was about 5 minute walk to an ATM and about 15 minute walk to the main square which was fine for me. Might be better to get a taxi back if you are staying out at night rather than walking.

Would 100% recommend. Host Youseff was amazing, welcoming and helping us with everything. From serving beautiful breakfasts on the roof terrace, to ordering us cabs when we needed it most - always with a smile! Great typical riad in the heart of Marrakesh on a calm back alley. Easy and walkable everywhere in the city.

Great Riad. Clean, nice and pleasant. Josef and Barbara are very nice and helpful people. I recommend the Riad and will definitely return to it on my next visit to Marrakech. Thank you.

Everything! It's quite simply, Incredible. Youssef was like a brother to me, someone who helped me from the moment I arrived. Both Barbara and Yousseff worked so hard to make sure that every little detail was taken care of so that I could simply enjoy the delights of the Riad and Marrakech. Also, the breakfast - Wow!!! Thanks so much Barbara and Yousseff for making my trip to Marrakech and your amazing Riad an experience that I will remember forever. You are amazing people and I feel very lucky and humbled to have met you both. I can't wait to return with my wife. All the best, The Marrakech Marathon Olympian

Nothing. It was wonderful from start to finish.

What an amazing place! So beautifully decorated. Extremely clean and comfortable. Down a quiet alley in a local neighborhood. In the Medina and walkable to the heart of the city and shops. Youssef, Barbara and the staff are very attentive. The place is an oasis. 🙂🙂🙂

There's nothing not to like..

Yousef was a marvellous host. He couldn’t have done more to make our stay comfortable.

Atmosphere, friendly, location. Extra breakfast fruit on Xmas day.

Quite noisy top floor rooms. Early morning insistent cockerel. Stray cats annoying and smelly on roof.

The riad is very cute and small

Neighbourhood is slightly questionable, but location itself is good

My stay at Dar Barbi was absolutely fantastic. The staff, especially the owner, were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Our stay at this Riad was nothing short of perfect. The place is even more stunning in person, with a truly charming and cozy ambiance. Everything was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was outstanding, leaving absolutely nothing to be desired. The location is ideal – everything is within walking distance, making it the perfect base to explore Marrakech. The host was one of the best we’ve ever encountered. Super friendly, welcoming, and warm, he made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble; he was always ready to help with anything we needed. We were celebrating a birthday during our stay, and to our surprise, they even prepared a small cake for us – such a thoughtful touch! Honestly, I cannot recommend this Riad enough. It was an exceptional experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Marrakech. Thank you again for everything!

Everything. Hosts are most welcoming, helpful and most polite people i have ever seen. Riad was simple beautiful. Location was peaceful, quiet and safe.

Everything was perfect Our request for early breakfast was always accepted Super 👌

The mattress could be a bit better

The riad is conveniently located in a quiet  street of the medina, close to the centre but away from the crowd and the noise. It is beautiful, very clean, and very comfortable room. Youssef and Barbara are so kind and attentive and go out of their way to make your stay "the perfect stay" and make you feel at home. They helped me on every question I had from getting a local sim card to tips to visit Marrakech. They serve a delicious breakfast, all freshly made. I also had dinner at the riad, deliciously home cooked meal. Highly recommended.

Both hosts Barbara and Yussouf were very kind and helpful. The place is very clean and quite. There is daily cleaning service. The facility is beautiful and very autentic. The owner thought of every single detail in the room and in the whole Riad. Breakfast is delicious, every day it is slightly different. I would suggest maybe something salty like an egg, just to add some protein. It's in Medina with 15mins walk from Souk and with roughly 25 mins walking from the main Square. Thank you to both hosts for making our stay so beautiful.

Everything was perfect.

Fantastic atmosphere, great interiors, brilliant breakfast!

N/a

As a young Australian couple, Riad Dar Barbi is where you should stay on your next trip to Marrakesh. It is beautiful, clean, homey and authentic. Youssef and Barbara are the best hosts. Breakfast is absolutely delicious on their magnificent sunny terrace (birds chirping galore). There is nothing more I could have asked for from our stay! Thank you so much Riad Dar Barbi.

Our family recently stayed at Riad Dar Barbi for two days during our travels through Morocco, and it was an absolute delight. This charming Riad exceeded our expectations in cleanliness and hospitality. While some reviewers mentioned the rooms being small, we found them cozy and well-appointed, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The true gem of this Riad is its stunning courtyard. After a bustling day exploring the city, it provided a serene oasis to unwind and relax. Surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with traditional Moroccan decor, it was the perfect spot to sip mint tea and soak in the atmosphere.Additionally, the location couldn't have been more convenient. Just a short walk to the main square or a quick tuk-tuk ride away, it offered easy access to all the attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.Overall, we highly recommend Riad Dar Barbi to anyone visiting Morocco. Its combination of cleanliness, friendliness, and beautiful ambiance make it a standout choice for accommodation in Marrakech.

Nothing to add.

Quiet location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, nice breakfast, affordable and clean riad

Walls are very thin and can be quite noisy early in the morning

The location was perfect because we felt safe and it was a very local neighborhood, not a touristic one. The house is beautifully decorated, tidy and clean. One can notice that they put a lot of thought into the enterior design. The environment inside the house is quiet and relaxed, we slept very well. We could hear birds every morning.

We were surprise that there was no door between the bedroom and the bathroom but a curtain. Even though the terrace is beautiful, we would have loved to have a view of the city.

Very beautiful riad, excellent location. Everything was walking distance for us. Youssef made our stay even better. His ever smiling face, his energy and eagerness to help out made all the difference. The rooms were cleaned everyday, breakfast was fresh and filling. All in all, an excellent experience.

The toilet is separated from the beds by a curtain. It wasn’t a significant problem for us but could be for someone else.

Very lovely place, quite and friendly staff. We love staying in this place, Barbara and Yusuf are amazingly helpful, we will miss Lola the cute dog as well

Amazing riad! We stayed in 3 riads during our vacation and we liked this one the best. It has beautiful terrace, tasty breakfast and very friendly stuff. The room is rather small but it did not matter at all. I would definitely come back next time.

I liked everything

lovely place, lovely people

nothing

Cozy place. Nice people. Beautiful building and decoration.

Little away from centre but it is fine

The property was extremely clean and comfortable, we really loved having the terrace available. The main reason we would want to return to the property is for the customer service! Youssef was great with us, he was extremely friendly and straight from when we entered the property he give us so much information to help us on our stay between what to look out for and how to stay safe. So I would highly highly recommend staying here as the customer service is second to none, thank you Youssef for making our stay in Marrakesh better! Also, you should go for the breakfast it’s great and definitely worth the price! The location is a bit of a walk from Jemaa El Fna but as long as you are vigilant you will be totally fine. Shukran!

Fab little place tucked away down a little alley from the noisy street, this place is a little gem full of charm and superbly decorated. Breakfast is amazing, fresh juices, breads, yogurts, jams and pancakes, at no extra charge. My host, Barbara and Youseff were very attentive and make you feel at home.

Nothing about the place as it was perfect.

Very comfortable place close to Center (Medina). Good opportunity to park the car nearby (free of charge). Ultra nice owners that even made breakfast on our check-out day much earlier, that usually for their guests! Also, thanks for room service that actually was not expected! A very beautiful interior! Recommended place!
