Reviews of Riad Bamileke

Faboulous value for money with an impeccable warm family hosts and a location that cannot be beaten. Hard to match this type of hospitality. Highly recommended for short or long stays.

Nothing to dislike here.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The suite was beautiful. Location was excellent, very close to everything you'd want to see. Tasty breakfast too!

The aircon unit could do with an update as it was very hot during our stay.

The room was super big, the interior very nice. Location is very central but still very calm inside. Gread value for price.

Some Suggestions: a second pillow in the bed would be nice. Breakfast is in the main middle courtyard, which is basically right next to the rooms in the groundfloor and you can hear everything. Maybe breakfast in the rooftop would be an option?

Alles war perfekt!

Friendly staff, clean property, and reasonable price.

Everything was great! The hosts were fantastic people very nice and friendly and helpful. Very clean room and facilities. 5 minutes walk from the main square..A LOVELY PLACE TO STAY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Location and authenticity

I enjoyed the decor of the riad & the sitting area in the bedroom. The location was great. Communication with the team was easy . It represented good value for money .

The pillows on the bed might need to be replaced.

Quiet, charming Dar in the heart of Medina Marrakech, very close to Jemaa El-Fnaa square. Wonderful terrace and very spacious rooms. The little birds will sing in the open patio and you will feel like you are in Paradise!

We checked-out at 8:00 in the morning for an organised trip to Atlas mountains and we didn't have the chance to eat breakfast or see the staff to say good bye.

It doesn’t looks like what it was from the outside but when you get inside it’s beautiful!

Staff are really nice and everything is comfortable

Half of the ground floor part of the riad was entirely for me which was a bit of a shock , the bathtub was massive , and the bedroom , i had two beds! Haha, im travelling solo so yeap that was a bit if a shock, the rooftop was beautiful tho, the best part of the stay was actually the staffs and the breakfast! Delicious Moroccan breakfast. Im very picky about what i eat but the breakfast was delicious.

Great location, very peaceful. We stayed in one of the suites and it was great - the bathroom was amazing. The owners were very hospitable and the breakfast was good. The terrace was also nice as it had a few loungers you could relax on.

No complaints!

Friendly staff, very beautiful rooms and good breakfast.

Location was perfect, room was lovely just needed a little TLC

Beds were not the comfiest and outise was quite loud at night

It was fancy ❤️

Very clean In the heart of Marakech, 4 mins walk to sahat el fanaa Very nice staff Great hospitality Stayed for less than 24 hrs and was simply amazed Mohamed, the manager, was the best, always helping and very polite

Breakfast and bathroom Character about property

Terrace area could be tidier/more inviting

EVERYTHING. A beautiful, authentic charming Riad full of character with lots of African artefacts all around Great roof terrace, surprisingly quiet considering the Riads fabulous location to the Square and Souks. We arrived early and were warmly greeted with mint tea and biscuits. We had early access to our Gorgeous, huge room and were automatically offered an early breakfast for the next day as we had a bus to catch. Breakfast was abundant and very satisfying. The Owner/Manager accompanied us to ensure we got a taxi at the correct price. 10/10 all round. Thank you for a magical stay

That we only had one night!!!

Room is very big and the location is central

We stayed on the ground floor, which was a bit noisy. Additionally, there was no way to fully close off the space for privacy. The door is made of glass and, while there is a curtain, it still allows visibility when the light is on. Perhaps a different type of curtain could be considered for better privacy.

It was clean, breakfast eggs, olives, dates, some jam and margarine, brioche, two types of Moroccan pancakes, but the same every day. Towels changed every day. Quiet neighborhood, great privacy in the Riad and in a great location, close to the square and major shopping streets. Great.

We're sorry, but it seemed like January wasn't the season, so the terrace and the flowers on it were neglected, the pool wasn't working. Nice weather, but you don't feel like going on the terrace...too bad. The packed lunches we insisted on compared to other tourists were pathetic...fruit, yogurt, muffin. And they didn't even give us one on the last day. Better to bring your own toiletries.

This place had such amazing character and a beautiful rooftop terrace to enjoy. Ahmed and his wife were wonderful and provide a delicious breakfast. The location was amazing. Highly recommended!

The beds could use more pillows.

A simply perfect stay! This beautiful, authentic Riad of mid-to-high level in the heart of Marrakech exceeded all expectations. The staff is outstanding, with Ahmed, the head of staff, always kind and available—he speaks Italian, which is a huge advantage for Italian guests. Amina and Meriam are incredibly sweet and attentive to every detail. The cleanliness is impeccable, meeting European standards, with high-quality bathroom linens. The breakfast is an unforgettable experience, featuring truly fresh, homemade local products: the yogurt is delicious, the pure fresh fruit juice is amazing, and everything is beautifully served at the table, as is customary in Marrakech. Those expecting a buffet simply don’t understand the authentic Moroccan experience! One day, we asked to have breakfast earlier due to an excursion, and Ahmed went out of his way to accommodate us—something he wasn’t obliged to do, but we truly appreciated it. The location is unbeatable, the best possible spot for exploring Marrakech without getting lost in the medina, which is essential in such a fascinating yet maze-like city. The value for money is excellent, and it’s hard to find anything better. The airport transfer is fairly priced, and absolutely necessary upon arrival—getting lost in the medina is almost guaranteed otherwise! Anyone who doesn’t book it and then complains about the location simply didn’t plan well. The terrace is wonderful, clean, well-equipped, perfect for sunbathing or smoking, and even enjoyable in winter. Although there’s no 24-hour reception, Ahmed is always reachable via WhatsApp or phone, ensuring assistance whenever needed. WiFi works perfectly, which is not always the case in Riads. In short, this Riad is a perfect 10, run with passion and professionalism by an amazing team who make a stay in Marrakech truly special and authentic. We can’t wait to return!

A few small suggestions for the management—none of which affected our stay, but could enhance the experience even further: the extra bed in the suite could be more comfortable, but it’s understandable as an additional bed; for a Riad of this level, it would be nice to have bath products with Moroccan scents in more stylish dispensers instead of generic ones; offering a complimentary bottle of water in the room upon arrival would be a thoughtful touch, as tap water can be problematic for tourists; breakfast starts at 9 AM, which is standard in Marrakech’s Riads since shops don’t even open earlier. Those who complain about this should simply do their research beforehand.
