Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Marrakesh-Tensift-El Haouz

Inside the old walls of the medina, Baladin is up a quiet alleyway. The soothing waves could be heard. Felix was very welcoming at Baladin, greeting us with mint tea and some delicious sweet sesame delicacies. He showed us around the riad and gave us suggestions for places to eat (one of which we kept going back to - Chez Loubna). The staff are warm and friendly. Essential oils and night lights lightly fragrance the air. The roof terrace was perfect to do my yoga on at sunrise. Glimpses of the ocean. Straw hats and blankets supplied for creature comfort. In December Essaouira is hot by day, and cool by night so the real log fire at breakfast felt super cosy. A hot tub on the ground floor. The room had a kettle, some herbal teas and a hot water bottle! The decor was light, airy, unpretentious and natural - drift wood 4poster bed, white walls, grainy wood, craquelure plaster walls, pots of cacti, opening windows. We got to meet the owner - a very friendly ginger cat called Simba.

Super schöne, ruhige Unterkunft. Man ist von Bergen umgeben. Direkt am Hausausgang führt ein kleiner Pfad auf einen Wanderweg oben entlang der Berge. Sehr empfehlenswert! Ausblick von der Terrasse unvergleichlich schön. Frühstück war sehr gut! Gastgeber hat auf die Frage vorab per Airbnb, ob ein flexibler CheckIn möglich ist leider nicht geantwortet. Vor Ort gab es dann aber keine Probleme und persönlich ist immer ein Ansprechpartner da. Die Unterkunft schließt die Türen nach aussen gegen 22:00 Uhr. Dies wurde uns vorher nicht mitgeteilt, als wir angeklopft haben (waren bis 23:00 Uhr im Dorf) wurde uns allerdings problemlos geöffnet. Eine betonierte strasse führt bis direkt an die Unterkunft, sodass es mit Auto leicht erreichbar ist. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert!

Nous avons passé 4 jours au Riad. Rachid, Mou et Youssef nous ont très très bien accueilli. Rachid a su nous recommander des endroits fabuleux et s’est même chargé de réserver pour nous. Nous remercions également Samira et ses petits déjeuners délicieux et variés : fruits, yaourt maison, pains et pâtisseries locales, œufs, thé, café, jus d’orange frais…. Le Riad et les chambres sont magnifiques, identiques aux photos. Ilest situé à deux pas de la place des ferblantiers et entre 5 et 10 minutes de la place jeema el fna. Nous reviendrons 😊

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Riad puchka . Nos hôtes ont été très réactifs, toujours aux petits soins pour répondre à nos demandes et de bons conseils. Le petit déjeuner proposé était très copieux et largement au dessus de nos attentes. Au premier regard le quartier peut paraître un peu inquiétant, mais à tort car nous nous sommes toujours senties en sécurité. Juste prévoir un masque pour les yeux si la lumière du petit matin dérange. Tout était parfait je recommande vivement!!

Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille, le Riad est très agreable avec quatre chambres ce qui permet à chacun d’avoir son petit coin. Très bien situé dans la médina et une très belle vue sur les remparts. Nous avons pris le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse le matin, ce qui était très agréable .

Super emplacement, Jorge est très accueillant. Magnifique vue de la terrasse. Pour le petit déjeuner et le coucher du soleil c’est parfait. Merci

Non loin de la cité extra de Essaouira, À 15mn de l’aéroport de la ville, le site perdu dans la nature apporte de suite une ambiance sereine et calme dans un environnement sec et aride. Et puis la douce piscine avec ses transats. Aucun son, des vues imprenables, la douceur du vent parfois et l’accueil simple et chaleureux de Marion et Saïd démarre un séjour de repos et de réflexions éventuelles en couple ou en solitaire dans les multiples alcôves et recoins réparties dans cette grande maison fait main et situé à 3h de vol de Paris ou Marseille. La grande suite avec sa cheminée fait de torchis traditionnel est douce et apaisante. Merci et à bientôt. Anita et David Ps: Louez une voiture à l’aéroport pendant une semaine est parfait pour voyager entre les grandes plages d’Essaouira et ce lieu pour poser des bagages...

A beautifully restored riad in the heart of Marrakech - elegant, clean, cool, comfortable and well maintained. The main attractions and vibes of the city are within easy walking distance. Our hosts were easy to contact, responsive, friendly and solicitous. Our fantastic housekeeper arranged longer distance day trips with trusted people so that, as first-timers to Morroco, we felt safe, looked after and welcome. We were travelling with older family members who found the set up here to be a really great introduction to the remarkable Marrakech world. I would very happily return here - great hospitality.

I cannot give this team enough praise. Property manager Abdo and cook/maid Naima are an excellent team…helpful, communicative and kind. The team arranged the transfer from the airport for a fee and Abdo met us as the home. The location is perfect…in the middle of the Medina but quiet. The design was excellent…high quality European design with gorgeous colors, fabrics and furnishings. The unit has a hammam and massage table on bottom level…incredible…and the team will arrange for your spa treatments! The rooftop pool and deck were a joy to experience the calls to prayer and sunset views over the Medina. Indeed, coming home to this unit was the highlight of the visit to Marrakesh. Thank you for the memories!

Nous avons été enchantés de séjourner chez Ilham. C'est quelqu'un de libre, ouverte d'esprit et d'une grande gentillesse. Nous avons mangé une délicieuse tajine cuisiné par Ilham, et comme souvent au Maroc la petite tajine était en fait un menu complet, avec soupe , salade et dessert. Un délice! La maison était très propre et la chambre avec salle de bain aussi. C'est l'un des meilleurs gîtes que nous avons fait au cours de notre voyage. Confort et hospitalité. Ourika est un village pittoresque, finalement plus intéressant que la vallée touristique bondée de monde. Un grand merci à Ilham et Idriss!

I don’t even know where to start. I’m a single mother traveling with my child and booked Fatima’s place very last minute due to an unexpected situation (no fault of Morocco’s!). Fatima was incredibly responsive even before I booked. We arrived a bit late, and she kindly met us as far as the taxi could go. The home is lovely—spotless, cozy, and so comfortable. The breakfasts and optional meals are absolutely delicious. Fatima and her mother made us feel like beloved family, not clients. It was exactly what we needed in that moment. When we checked out, her mother even walked us to our next destination. We ended up leaving where we were supposed to stay for the next three nights—and came right back to Fatima’s. I highly recommend staying here. I’ll be telling all my friends and family I’ve found the perfect spot in the heart of the Medina. (Super walkable, too :) ) THANK YOU, FATIMA AND MAMA ♥️ We love you both.

trèa bon séjour chez Hamid! ce fut un plaisir de découvrir l'Atlas, la culture locale, d'aller visiter les villages berberes alentour avec lui. la nourriture était excellente, portions très génereuses, chambres spacieuses et confortable. Très beau cadre autour et belles randonnées. Hamid est un très bon hôte et très bon guide. merci beaucoup!

Wow! What a beautiful place to stay - the Riad is like something from a fairy tale... There is a big courtyard where we could take meals, a lovely little pool and so many rooms and places to explore. Also, some very friendly cats to hang out with! Our room was so nice and it was serviced quickly every day. It was a little bit of a walk from the main part of the old city, but we liked that - it was quiet and away from the busy part of town. That said, there was loads of the local shops and life to see just outside the door. So overall, highly recommended and a lovely place to stay!

The riad was beautiful, exactly what was shown in the pictures. Although it was inside of the market, it was situated off a a private pathway which allowed it to be quite peaceful. The hosts and staff were lovely, very helpful and always available. The location felt safe and I never felt uncomfortable being alone. The location was perfect , there was so much to see and do. Breakfast was great, beds were very comfortable, and the place was always spotless. I really loved my stay and would definitely stay there again whenever I come back to Morocco.

Le riad est très bien situé pour visiter les incontournables de Marrakech. Nos hôtes étaient très réactifs par la messagerie, téléphone et sur place également. Beaucoup de conseils très utiles, accueil très chaleureux. La chambre climatisée était parfaite avec les fortes températures de ce mois de juin et la terrasse appréciée. Tout était parfait pour notre 1ere visite de Marrakech! Nous recommandons ce riad.

We loved the riad, the whole place was beautiful and very comfortable. It truly felt like home. Rida was amazing and very accommodating and Fatimazarah’s breakfast was one of the best things in Marrakech. Also, Juliet was very helpful with recommendations! Thank you so much for everything. 100% recommend! Hope to be back again ☺️

Dal primo momento in cui siamo arrivate ci siamo sentite veramente come a casa nostra, anzi, molto di più. Siamo state accolte da Mohammed e Saad che ci hanno offerto il thè marocchino. Sono sempre stati disponibili e attenti, anche più del dovuto. Ad esempio nel momento in cui ci siamo accorte che il phon era rotto Momo ci ha portato il phon da casa di suo cugino. Ci sentiamo di consigliare questo Riad che é il una zona tranquilla e comoda per spostarsi a piedi.

Alyson's place was everything we could have hoped for during our time in Marrakesh! Despite being right in the middle of the medina, it was very quiet and felt like an oasis from everything happening outside. Everyone who worked there was lovely and made us feel so welcome to be there. We especially loved the beautiful rooftop terrace and the breakfast every morning. Of note, the ground floor room does not have much of a sound barrier from the courtyard, but for what we wanted out of our stay that wasn't too much of an issue. Overall, a great experience!

Our stay at this Riad was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not as guests, but as family. The Riad itself is stunning — every corner is thoughtfully designed, blending traditional Moroccan beauty with comfort and serenity. The attention to detail, the peaceful atmosphere, and the breathtaking views made it the perfect retreat. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the hospitality. Halime greeted us each morning with a warm smile and a breakfast that felt like it was made by a loving mother — fresh, delicious, and full of care. Her kindness set the tone for the day. Jan and El-Hossein were incredibly attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They were gracious, warm, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We left with full hearts, grateful for the generosity and spirit of this place. We can’t recommend it enough — not just the Riad, but the entire area. It’s a gem worth discovering.

The room is well located right in the Medina, so you can do everything by feet. For our taste the room was a bit dark, but I guess that’s normal in a Riad. Also you should be aware that the room is really open, so if you travel with someone, privacy is not really given, which was super fine for us. Check in was super smooth and we felt super safe in the area. The communication was great and everyone was super friendly. Beautiful rooftop and pool area.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans le riad, à notre arrivée à Marrakech. Le taxi réservé par le Riad nous a laissé à proximité du logement, puis le gérant est venu nous chercher. Pratique quand on n'a pas internet/de carte SIM. Le logement est fidèle à la description. Le gérant est très accueillant. Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse est bon. Merci !

Merci pour votre accueil, ma mère est ravie également. A une autre fois

I had such a good time at Youssef and his wife’s house! They are very welcoming, friendly and communicative via message. From the taxi drop off, it will be a 5min walk in small streets to access the house. Easy if you don’t carry too much. Otherwise people can help you if you give them a bit of $. I highly recommend for a peaceful and typical stay, well situated but calm at the same time. Also adding they have a beautiful terrace. 100% worth it

We loved our stay here! The perfect central location, and they organised our taxi from the airport. The room was perfect and Doudou and Bahya looked after us to well and gave us such a delicious breakfast. Delphine responded immediately to any messages, and was so helpful e.g helping us sort out a tour guide. Would 100% recommend ! Thank you :)
