This was a lovely riad. The staff was excellent, very friendly. The location was hard to find, and there was a lot of construction on the way to the riad. Once in, however, the room was beautiful

6/10 Good

Great location, nice staff, regular hotel.

Location is great and their staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the hotel room is quite poor. There is an important lack of maintanance like there are no towel racks, toilet paper racks, there is no body cleaner only shampoo, or humidity on the shower walls (see pictures) but I have to say everything was clean.
We had no towel rack

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed at the Riad Faraj from October 13-15 , the staff was so friendly and welcoming upon my arrival. I was happy to get a room on first floor right across the pool. The aesthetic of the Riad is extremely modern , authentic beautiful Moroccan style. Rooms were clean and spacious. I love the staff here they are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast is so tasty , nice presentation and beautiful view. Genuinely so soothing to eat your breakfast while relaxing in the peaceful ambience. Highly recommend this RIAD to anyone travelling to Marrakesh, it is also located in the perfect area. Will definetly be coming back here any time I stay in the city .

6/10 Good

The Riad is average, not bad, not great. It was reasonably clean. We didn't get the room that was in the photo but I'm coming to see that seems to be common practice in many accommodations. The breakfast was ok. There is only 1 staff member/owner it seems, and we didn't get an energetic welcoming vibe unfortunately. The location is down a road with construction, but it was well lit at night which was comforting. It's quick access to the main road when dragging luggage on dirt roads.
Marta, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The road is beautiful! Nouhaila was amazing as well as Zacarías ! I truly had no complaints other then the sheets in my room were not clean and when I left my key to have the towels changed when I returned the same towels were there. They did immediately noted minor repairs needed and did it on the spot! Breakfast was great! The tea was great! The pool area beautiful and everything about this place was perfect. Walking distance to everything. Pick up for excursion were down the street or a 5 min walk. I truly enjoyed staying here.
NIDIA, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

During our four-day stay at Riad Faraj, we were thoroughly impressed. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and assistance throughout our visit (Zakaria, Idris & Nuheyla). Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted with an introduction to Marrakech's activities and treated to traditional mint tea. Though our initial room had a minor issue, the staff promptly upgraded us to a nicer & bigger room, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures from the Riad Faraj team.
Ismail, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Apart from being close to town center and yet quiet, place is very filthy, property co dition is horrible, service is mediocre though the staff tried their best to make up for the deficiencies, food is horrible, one person is assigned to clean and to cook and serve. Plates chipped and towels ripped and filthy. The place and room not as per the description. The rating given is inaccurate and very misleading. Nothing would make me go back even if i were paid to stay there.

CLIVE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Riad Faraj. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and the dinner we had there was GREAT. On the downside, our room was very small and the floor mats beside the bed needed to be cleaned. The shower didn’t drain properly so we stood in a pool of water while we bathed. For the price, it was satisfactory and we did enjoy our stay. Thank you!

4/10 Fair

worn place, needs renovation and cleaning. very, very unpleasant smell in the bathroom. way, way to expensive for what you get. we‘ve been in two other riads on the same trip for half the price and double fun.
Andreas, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst

Worst experience that zi ever had . I booked my accommodation with hotels.com and paid for that already. When we arrived at the accommodation the door was locked and no one opened . We stood on the street in a foreign place unfamiliar with the surrounding for 2 hours. Called hotels.com and was on the phone for 2 hours and they could not get a hold of the hotel as well. Frustrated, tired and disappointed with the answer from hotels.com we looked for another place. Very disappointed that such a big corporation will be in partnership with such a place. The place and surrounding also is nothing as it looks like on the picture. Very disappointed and frustrated. Urge hotels.com to have extra due diligence while getting into partnership with such place.
Shareen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and close to the centre

It was pleasant to stay in this riad. It is within 5 minutes walk to Jamaa el Fna Square and a good walking distance to other attractions, therefore we did not need to book any taxi at any point. The staffs are all very nice and accommodating and I am very pleased with my short break in Marrakesh. The riad itself is clean and very comfortable. The rooftops are a great way to relax and catch more sun. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for a fee. Delicious breakfast is included with our stay and it is a good way to try authentic Moroccan breakfast. We asked for a shuttle transfer to and from the airport and it was sorted out quickly. In summary, me and my husband are very happy with our stay and definitely recommend this place !
Muriel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location but that's about it...

The riad is gorgeous with close proximity to the main square but the good things kind of end there. The receptionist only really cared about selling us trips and spa services. The room is basically just a room. No nightstands, nowhere to really put the luggages, no iron (as in the riad doesn't have an iron at all), no comforter or covers just a thin sheet, bathroom drain was very very slow so you are just standing in a pool or dirty water while showing. It's beyond me how this is classified as a 4 star accommodation
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Awful, uncomfortable bed, air conditioning barely worked. Old bath towels full of holes. Water barely trickled. Breakfast was recycled from days prior. In the middle of our stay the manager asked us to pay the two coffees and water we had ordered before because their cash box was empty. Pool full of dead bugs. Asking for extra toilet tissue was always an issue because they rarely had any. Beautiful road but they seem to get lost in the details that matter most. We will never return and certainly never recommend to anyone.
