    No fridge in rooms. It would be good to put mini fridges in the rooms as it’s a super hot country. Kitchen is also not accessible as it gets locked after breakfast. A proper door in the jack n Jill toilet will be good instead of a shower curtain. The smell and sounds from the toilet is very entertaining 😂😂

    Beautiful villa. We booked family room with entwined rooms. Nice decor. Tasty breakfast with good variety switched up daily. Cakes, pancakes. French toast, omelettes, yoghurts, fruits. Pool area was amazing we spent all day there. Good communication from the host

    The only thing were the pillows that were too high for our preference and the food there was a bit overpriced, but still delicious.

    The hospitality of the owners and staff was amazing, they were very caring and always ready to help. The property was beautiful and very clean. The location was good, because it was in a quiet area and less polluted.

    The shower lacked power and there are no tea or coffee making facilities or any additional drinking water available except that offered on arrival which we really missed. The rooms were quite noisy unfortunately, you hear other guests especially the doors so we didn’t sleep well, however, I think this is quite typical of local Riads. Bring ear plugs and you will be fine.

    A nice traditional Riad with character away from the busy centre but easily walkable with a lovely breakfast

    Our only issue with the property was the lack of windows in our room - everyone else seemed to have a balcony/ window but unfortunately we didn’t have one of those rooms. Beautiful stay though nevertheless.

    The property was beautiful and was full of Moroccan charm! The pool was freezing at this time of year but clean and good for a cold plunge :) the room itself was beautiful and cleaned daily with fresh towels & toilet roll. The breakfast provided was very nice & the staff were helpful and very welcoming. My personal favourite thing about Dar Al Walidine was the resident pup, Samba, who was also very friendly and lovely.

    A personal touch.. mint tea on arrival. Fantastic breakfast. Quiet tranquil place just outside the city walls. Lovely plunge pool and area to relax after day of strolling around the souks. Short walk to all the main sites. Staff happy to give advice and suggestions on places to visit. Gave us an early breakfast on the morning we left for our desert trip.

    The shower/toilet were in centre of room with little privacy. Lunch was very overpriced. Air-con was dripping water onto bed and ice chips fell out during night onto bed. Would recommend getting a Hammam elsewhere - was not very relaxing.

    Very tranquil being just outside the medina and lovely pool area. Staff were extremely lovely - especially Mustapha - who made our stay. Breakfast was lovely and best Moroccan tea we had!

    Close to the Medina, but still far from the areas of interest. Lacking a few equipment in the room (hairdryer,...). The toilet in the bedroom was not giving enough privacy.

    Great environment, the riad is rather small making you feel close to the other guests while allowing enough privacy. Very kind staff making you feel like home.

    7 night stay Dar Al Waladine.

    Our room had stunning views across to the Atlas mountains. Unfortunately the area almost directly outside the grounds of the riad is the equivalent of a "landfill". This is very obviously a council problem, and needs to be addressed for the sake of the locals. We left early {4.00 am} on the day of our departure. A taxi had been arranged by Yasmine at the riad, but did not turn up. Once again Mustaffa came to our rescue, helping us with baggage so that a private taxi could be waved down on the main road 5mins walk. from the riad. Disaster averted!

    Dar Al Waladine offers a much needed sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The riad is well laid out with fantastic decor and good facilities. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Mustaffa was an absolute star, helping us with issues beyond his responsibility with courtesy & politeness. The swimming pool was kept immaculately clean.

Breakfast were homemade and served fresh which we always look forward to! Location is outside the busy streets of Medina which was good! I love everything about our stay. Made it all worthwhile.

    Breakfast was unimpressive. I did not receive breakfast on my last day as I had to check out early to catch my flight. The rooms were incredibly noisy, I didn’t sleep well once during my stay. The rooms were not clean. The location of the property was not good. I was told that a taxi had been organised to take me to the train station and it never arrived. I was also charged exorbitantly for these transfers.

    Unluckily, there were way too many issues. Every day something came up, which made our stay feel very bad. The staff was nonexistent, it was truly hard to find or to contact any of the staff for help or to ask questions. Starting from the breakfast, it starts purposely way late in the morning, so people do not get it because they have excursions to do. We had only 1 toilet paper roll, which was not replaced daily, and again no one to get in touch to get it. The daily room cleaning was done. Now the WORST part, after we specifically asked for new towels, we found out at the end of the day, that they just rolled the once we already used! It was shocking, there was the same make-up stain that my girlfriend did the day before. There was no fridge in the room as well. The area where the building is located is in a 3rd world zone, you cannot walk, and you must take a taxi every single time. Other than that, the prices for the accommodation were way higher than the things offered. There are no services, and the ones offered, are literally 10 times more expensive than every other provider in the city.

    The style of the accomodation was nice, both inside and outside.

    The location is very bad - looking at the city map the impression is that it is close to the Medina. In fact, you can walk from the touristic part of the Medina within ca. 30 min. but you have to cross very poor, stinky and unpleasant areas of the Medina; after the 2nd day of our stay we were coming back to the hotel by taxi. The hotel is a family owned business and the management is very weak. There is no reception, when you need some support you don‘t get it. Several days we did not see anybody from the staff except for the ladies servicing the breakfast; the prices offered by the hotel for taxi are double compared to other providers, e.g. booking.com; when available, the owners were not very guest friendly and even provided misleading information - e.g. when leaving the hotel we were asking about additional due payments and we got the information that everything is settled; 3 hours later when our son was leaving, he was asked to pay some still due amounts. In terms of cleanliness there is definitely room for improvement - e.g. we found clothes belonging to previous guests in one of the drawers. The furniture is good but not well maintained - drawers not opening or falling apart, etc.

    The only thing we liked was the breakfast and the very kind service of the staff servicing it. Unfortunately, despite the fact, that the breakfast is included in the price, we got it only 3 times (out of 7) as it was served only after 8.30 -9.00 - so you either have breakfast or some other program for the day. There is even no coffee offered before 8.30.
