In particular Hajar even plan a surprise Birthday event for me with my friends when she found out that we were there as a birthday trip. It was very thoughtfully of her and shows amazing Moroccan hospitality! ##### Ma Ricah Mae Rondario Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Suet Aug 22, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place has totally SCAMMED us. If you are planning to visit morocco, DO NOT book this place. We were 4 travelers with a baby.They did not give us the room we booked at the first place. We arrived morocco little late because of the time differences, we even sent them our flight information still they did not hold the rooms for us. This place does not even have air conditioner that works properly .They took us to a small tiny congested room and asked us to stay there for the night which was impossible. They completely refused to give us the refund and I have no idea how in the world they are doing this business as they are not professional with their guests. ANOTHER SCAM - They wanted us to book their transportation which they asked for double money. We took taxi from the airport and the price was less cheaper than the hotel staff offered us. We did not even ask for transportation and let me make it clear- we DID NOT cancel the booking. They DO NOT have any proof that we cancelled the booking for our rooms, because we did not cancel the rooms booking. And the transportation is completely voluntary , it is not something required by the hotel. Plus based on the texting we were not even sure if actually we are talking to the right people.NOW they are trying to make us the bad people here while they are one tried SCAM us every way that could.I absolutely refused to give them recommendation to other tourists and I highly prefer other tourists to AVOID booking this unprofessiona ##### Suet Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivan Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Ivan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jun 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Riad is in a very convenient location, a few minutes walk from many of the tourist attractions. It is located down an alley, as are most of the Roads, but not once did I feel unsafe getting to or from there. The staff are exceptional, always helpful, often going above and beyond their duty. I really cannot recommend this place enough. I will be returning there on my next visit. ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar Mar 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bonito, cómodo y bien situado Es un bonito Riad muy bien situado, a escasos metros de la famosa plaza Jemaa el-fna. Las habitaciones son amplias y tienen baño incorporado, armarios empotrados, calefacción y aire acondicionado. En la última planta hay una terraza donde puedes relajarte tomándo un té. Nosotros nos comprábamos todas las noches la cena y la tomábamos allí. A destacar la amabilidad del propietario, el cual habla perfectamente inglés y frances y alguna cosilla de español. Lo único malo es que el primer día es muy difícil de encontrar, al final hay que acabar preguntando a algún lugareño que seguro os acopañará y al que tendreis que "agraceder" con un par de euros. ##### Oscar Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bon accueil confort simple mais suffisant.

Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. The location of this riad is exceptional. I stayed in 2 riads during my stay in Marrakech, and this is the one I would return to again due to the location. I had a lovely room on the top terrace floor. I was hoping to have a view of Koutoubia Mosque, but there is not a view from the main terrace. I highly recommend this riad for the location and the staff. ##### Jasmin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Jan 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vale mesmo a pena Quarto espaçoso, extremamente limpo e confortável. Staff muito simpático e atencioso. Um pequeno almoço saboroso. E a dois minutos a pé de Jemaa El Fna! ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Nov 20, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Riad in Marrakech Our first time in Morocco. Read Balkisse was great! They arranged a ride from the airport then met us outside when the driver got to the hotel. They offered us drinks when we arrived and showed us to our rooms. Everyone on the staff was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were small but nice and very much what I think of when I hear Morocco. It is centrally located near a lot of restaurants and shopping areas, it seems kinda scary at night in that area but it's really not. The hotel arranged a tour for us to the Cascades waterfall and it was an amazing, and cheap, day trip, best part of the time in Morocco. If we ever got back to Marrakech we will definitely stay in this hotel again. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### ISMAIL Oct 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Riad balkisse Everything was well.

Location is excellent (2 mins from the main square), but it was cool and peaceful inside, a perfect contrast to the hot, noisy streets. The staff were so friendly and helped us to plan our days out and trips out of Marrakesh, and made us plenty of delicious mint tea. A special shout-out to Simon who made us feel very welcome and looked after us so well! ##### Gwen and Eliza Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jul 4, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good stay at a good price Good stay at a good price ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edouard Jun 15, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, clean, well located ! The staff members were really nice and helpful. Everything in the riad was clean and spotless, the location was a good point, very close to Jama-El-fna. The breakfast was Rich and yummy : handmade morrocan crepes, cake, yoghurt and fresh fruits ! We enjoyed our time there very much and can definitely recommend this place. ##### Edouard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Came fir the New Year's Eve weekend.

Si les alentours peuvent surprendre lorsque l'on arrive sur Marrakech pour la première fois, on se rend vite compte que le quartier reflète l'ensemble de la Medina. L'accueil est chaleureux, sympathique et attentionné. Le riad est très joliment décoré et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner est de bonne qualité et copieux. Le diner est proposé et quelque fois organisé avec de la musique traditionnelle. Certes, la robinetterie est un peu vétuste mais ne ternie pas à elle seule la qualité de la prestation au regard des des tarifs proposés,. La prestation est de bonne qualité. ##### Sylvie ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Nov 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 安宿に慣れている方にはお勧め 場所がわかりにくいため昼間に到着することを勧める 防音が無いに等しく隣室、屋外の音がはっきりと聞こえる 朝食はまずくはないが期待してはいけない　 フロントの対応はとても良い ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ahmad javid Apr 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Ahmad javid Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Manal Dec 19, 2022 Liked: Staff & service ##### Manal Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Luis Mar 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jose Luis Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d117-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Helsinki](https://www.expedia.ca/Helsinki-Hotels.d178261.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Far Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Val-Morin-Hotels-Le-Cedar-Lodge.h37192006.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bangor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangor-Hotels.d6050918.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Meridien N'fis](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Nfis.h571327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Canada.d31.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Le-Medina-Essaouira-Hotel-Thalassa-Sea-Spa-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h795436.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Zanzibar Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Zanzibar-Locke.h51282532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tromsø](https://www.expedia.ca/Troms-Hotels.d3512.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n6058432-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Chateau-Victoria-Hotel-And-Suites.h7677.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [La Sultana Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Sultana-Marrakech.h1093565.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Bali (BLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/blc/edmonton-to-bali) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/nce/paris-to-nice) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ewr/jfk/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Orlando (ORL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/orl/edmonton-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Kitchener (YKF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/ykf/kelowna-to-kitchener) > > [Cathay Pacific Vancouver (YVR) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/cathay-pacific-from-vancouver-intl-to-hong-kong-intl/cx/yvr/hkg) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Alberta (YQL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yql/calgary-to-lethbridge) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary-Edmonton Corridor](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary-Edmonton-Corridor.d6210058.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Seoul.d178308.Travel-Guide-Activities)
