Reviews of Riad Dar Barbara 5 stars

Lovely place to stay, the staff were friendly and it was located outside of the city but close enough to get there eBay car

They wanted to charge a ridiculous amount of money for dinner...in the end we went out and had a lovely dinner for 5 people which cost us 100dirhams !!!

The riad was nice and very basic. It is ok if you just want to relax and do nothing.

It was quite far from the town. Difficult to find transport.

The rooms was spacious, nice beds, good air conditioning and called ahead as taxis looked expensive and Khalid arranged a taxi both ways which was really useful! It was very peaceful and quiet and secluded. The plunge pool was cool and the food was good. Breakfast was breads, cheese and jams with fresh orange, yogurt and coffee or tea. Abdul asked what I would like for dinner and I had tagine, breads, moroccan salad and delicious fresh fruit. I couldn't complain about the food. Breakfast was included and dinner was 12 euros. Abdul was very accommodating and was always checking in! Khalid arranged any trips that you would like to do. I did a one day trip which was good! 2 or 3 night trips are also available to book.

It was a bit secluded so in order to get into the centre a taxi would need to be booked. The closest place to eat would be about a 20 minute walk. There wasn't a massive amount of hot water but due to the heat, the water was lukewarm which was fine as a hot shower would have been too much in that heat.

I liked the location close to the fields.

The rooms felt very old and dusty- we all were sneezing. The breakfast was basic at best and always the same. The bathroom facilities didnt work well. We kept needing staff to help.

Air conditioning in the room Spacious room Nice staff

Dim lights in the bedrooms

Horrible check in . No door lock. Drunk owner- chef 1 late for over priced dinner.

The accommodation was very good value for money. The staff were amazing and so helpful. They were so friendly to us and helped us to get the very best out of our holiday. Jilly, Hassan and especially Khalid were amazing! The best hospitality!

The location was fine for us but for anyone looking for a more touristy place it would perhaps be too quiet and remote. I would recommend renting a car if you want to do more by yourself, otherwise take one of the many wonderful excursions offered!

The staff were very helpful and polite , the rooms were cosy and clean . It had a lot of beautiful art and decorations that made it feel full of character and charm .

We didn’t find the location that easy as from bookings it gave as a different location so we got lost .

Looks like an interesting property inside and out

Everything else, way too hot, ac doesn’t work well, in the middle of no where, the place gives really bad energy/ haunted house vibes and doesn’t feel safe.

We loved the specious rooms, dinner and friendly staff. They even went into town to get us some beers.

The bathrooms could use an update.

Property owner Hassan went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with warmth and friendliness, making us feel like part of his family. He took the time to show us around the property, sharing helpful tips about the area and local attractions. Throughout our stay, Hassan was always available to assist with any questions or concerns we had, demonstrating genuine care for our well-being. His thoughtful gestures, truly made us feel welcome and safe. It was evident that he takes great pride in being a host, and his hospitality significantly enhanced our experience.

The night we stayed was very hot, and the AC wasn't cooling, which resulted in us not being able to sleep well.

The property is super unique and authentically decorated. The team of staff take care of the space with a lot of love and care and one really feels at home staying there. The staff is exceptionally kind and the breakfast super yummy. The AC and pool are a bonus when travelling in hot weather. We also really enjoyed being next to the football field where the kids could play with local kids. And last but not least - we absolutely loved the home made chicken pastilla dinner the team prepared for us. It was the best one we had on our 2-week trip.

Loved it all.

The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you , My wife needed dress to be repaired & Jilly asked Hassan if he would take her to the sewing man & without hesitation he took us in the car 🚗 to the sewing man where my wife got her dress repaired Hassan also collected the dress & it was a perfect fit & we thought that we were going to miss our pick up for the airport so Hassan said if that was the case he would take us to the airport they honestly couldn't do enough for us.

We liked the people especially Jilly, Hassan & Abdul who was running around all day for us. The evening meal at 8.00pm was excellent as well as the breakfast 🥞🍳

Good value for money. Location can be tricky but we found no issues. Felt really welcome.

The Riad was spacious for our family of five, the room was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were amazing, super friendly and made us feel like family.

Everything. Nice rooms, great spaces, excellent food

Decoration in the lobby and building in general were beautiful, good shower, good breakfast

Location next to cemetery and only view of cemetery

The hosts Hasan and Jilly are absolute gems. Every element of this place from the decor to the hospitality was curated with great care. Their personal touch and kindness made the stay worthwhile. Food was good, rooms and amenities clean.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were spotless, and the hospitality was top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially families. Our party of 5 felt right at home.

Everything was great

Beautiful unique and quirky

Nothing

Authentic Moroccan. Very friendly and hospitable staff, great food and building like a film set from 1930s French Colonial period.
