9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (890 reviews)
"The staff at the Riad—from the regular employees to the manager—are excellent and friendly. If I were to point something out—not as a criticism, but as a suggestion for improvement—it would be this: we were visiting a very hot country, so the rooms really ought to have a mini-fridge, or at least an ice machine on the site, so guests can keep their drinks or water cold. Otherwise, we highly recommend it. Thank you."
