Riad Ifoulki

Very beautiful Riad. One of the best in Marrakech I must say. Entire Riad is worth a tour of itself. Peter is such storyteller and good host with the boys to ensure everything is perfect during our stay. Shoutout to Mohamed, who’s so attentive and kind with all advices. I saw him attending to a special needs elderly man and he’s nothing but super patient and sweet. Breakfast and evening sunset at the rooftop are a must! Super recommended!

⭐ **1 Star – Never again this Riad!** ⭐ I stayed at this riad as a group leader, guiding **16 women** on a trip – and what we experienced was nothing short of **unacceptable** and **highly unprofessional**. One evening, the owner **Peter** brought a bottle of red wine to our table, claiming it was a **gift from a mutual friend** of his and one of our travelers. That seemed like a kind gesture – until **check-out**, when I was suddenly **charged for that “gift” bottle**. And that was just the beginning: Despite having clearly communicated our **check-out time of 07:30** (we were **17 people** with a fixed departure at 08:00 for a 10-hour journey!), **no one was present at reception**. We waited until **07:50**, when a young and clearly unprepared staff member finally opened the front desk. The experienced manager **Abdullah**, who speaks German, was nowhere to be found. The check-out process was a total mess: 🔹 No invoices 🔹 No receipts 🔹 Cash only 🔹 Everything was handwritten 🔹 No transparency whatsoever As I finally came to the desk – already seriously delayed – I was suddenly **handed a phone**. On the line was Abdullah, telling me I still owed money from **October**: one bottle of wine and a beer. I had **fully paid** back then (again: no receipt, no proof, cash only), and yet I was being **accused without evidence** – during the rush of departure, in front of my group. Outrageous! Out of pressure and to avoid further delays for my clients, I paid – but let me be clear: 👉 In over **31 years of leading international travel groups**, I have **never encountered such disorganization and questionable practices**. 🔴 No transparency 🔴 No professionalism 🔴 No accountability 🔴 Cash-only policy without receipts 🔴 Disrespectful treatment of guests I will **never return** to this riad, and I strongly advise all travelers, tour guides, and travel professionals to **stay away** from this place. If you value **integrity, organization, and respect**, this is **not** the place for you.

Spent a very enjoyable 4 nights in this authentic riad with my husband end January 2025. Stayed in a junior suite on the first floor with a lovely large balcony. Very informal, relaxed vibe. Breakfasted on rooftop terrace and enjoyed some dinners with owner Peter and fellow guests of different nationalities - lots of opportunities to practise French and German! Staff were very friendly and helpful.
