Lovely host and a lovely experience, and a beautiful building that rewards exploration, filled with antiques and areas to unwind and enjoy.

There was a smell coming up through the plughole in the bathroom of our suite. This smell is really ubiquitous in Marrakech medina but it would have been lovely if we'd not had it in our bathroom. We put shampoo bottles over the plugholes to keep the smell out, which helped a bit.

Riad Dombaraka is an oasis in the craziness of the medina. It has a welcoming atmosphere. The plunge pool is unbelievable for a cool off and there is unlimited filtered water in the kitchen. The staff are very helpful. Mme Dominique will give you great, no nonsense advice for exploring, eating out and staying safe. The location is perfect for exploring the medina. The riad is kept very clean.

Dominique (host) was very helpful and welcoming. You feel like you’re part of the family there. I was apprehensive about getting lost in the Medina but she gave great tips! Staff is genuinely kind and accommodating. It’s close to everything. very efficient transfer to and from airport through the riad also.

Beautiful Riad, great location, super friendly and welcoming staff. Dominique and her team made everything easy, from airport pickup, restaurant recommendations to directions around the Medina. Highly recommend!

It can get a bit loud if a large group is staying there.

Beautifully appointed tranquil Riad in the center of the Medina with friendly and helpful host and staff.

Staff were super friendly, honest and very helpful but overall look (especially at breakfast) would benefit from a casual generic uniform / clothing rather than sports tracksuits.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful Riad centrally located. Great staff, honest and super attention to delightful detail.

For anyone wanting the riad experience, I doubt you could do better than Riad Dombaraka. It is a beautiful building and Dominique and her staff are very attentive. It is located down a quiet (but easy to find) passageway and is truly an oasis from the madness of the souks around it - once you enter the door you are in cool, calm tranquility. It is the perfect central location, with Jemaa el-Fna less than 10 minutes walk away, only 5 minutes from Madrasa Ben Youssef, 10 minutes to Dar El Bacha, etc. The place is spotlessly clean and well maintained.

This riad is absolutely stunning and has everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay! Dominique, our host, was incredibly warm and helpful — she went above and beyond with amazing restaurant recommendations, insider tips for navigating the medina, and even helped us make reservations. We loved starting our mornings with a delicious traditional breakfast on the terrace, soaking in the beautiful views. And the Hammam and massage? So relaxing! Highly recommend! The location is excellent, well within the medina and just 5-7mins walk from the main square. The airport cab couldn't go all the way to the Riad but that's the case with most riads if you want good location within the medina. But there is tuktuk :) Would suggest to book the taxi from the riad (which we should have) to make sure your arrival is pleasant and you don't have to carry your luggage through the souks.

Dominique and her team were very welcoming, friendly, and informative. The riad is located only 10 minutes away from the main market square, and is a lovely example of the traditional riad. The rooftop terrace, where you enjoy your breakfast, offers great views of the city. Definitely worth a stay.

Such a homely feel and was decorated beautifully. Dominique was an exceptional host and all her staff were excellent too!

The best thing about this riad has to be the incredibly comfortable beds — we slept so well! The location is also great: close enough to the main square to walk there easily, but tucked away in a quiet area, so you don’t hear any noise at night. The staff, including the owner, are very kind and always willing to help with any questions or arranging things like taxis or tuk-tuks. The breakfast was excellent too — a really nice start to the day. Lastly, we were really happy with the clean towels everyday. Overall, it’s a lovely riad and a great place to stay, especially if it’s your first time in Marrakech. The only reason we’re giving it a 9 instead of a 10 is because of an issue with the payment. We paid in dirham for two nights and later realized we ended up paying €302 instead of the expected €290. This was explained as “currency exchange fees,” but that didn’t make much sense, since the dirham amount we paid didn’t match the agreed euro price. So just a heads-up — it’s better to pay online or double-check the exchange rate and amount in dirham to avoid being overcharged. Also, a downside: the shower head couldn’t be fixed into the holder, which made washing your hair pretty inconvenient. Still, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!

What a delightful Riad! The host Dominique and all the staff were wonderful. Very relaxing stay in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh!

All the staff were fanstastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Dominique arranged a private trip to a village (a staff member was from the village ) and we met their family in the Atlas mountain village and had the best welcome food and lunch. The rooms in the Riad are exceptionally well presented and comfortable. The food in the Riad is amazing and the breakfast is plentiful and very delicious. Could not have asked for better.

Nothing not to like.. 😊

Staff super friendly, informative and helpful. In-house meals were excellent. Dar Roumana was clean, spacious and ornately decorated with rustic wood and large windows. One of the best accommodation experiences I've ever had in over 50 years of travelling.

Everything was great, couldn’t have imagined this when we left our home country to visit Marrakech for the first time.

Nothing, our trip was so nice that it's very difficult to complain about anything

Good breakfast, staff and host were really helpful and nice

Everything was amazing. Just PLEASE book a taxi directly through the riad and not booking.com. We were dropped off over 1km from the riad with no warning of the distance at 10.30pm along dark alleys. We were accosted by 2 youths who did direct is to the riad but demanded 200 Dirham. The riad staff will meet you at the drop off and walk with you.

Absolute gem, an oasis of calm. Staff so helpful and thoughtful. Great breakfast. Everything was stunning, just loved our stay and would 100% recommend this beautiful riad to everyone. Thankyou to all at the Riad Dombaraka

Nothing i can fault.

The breakfast on the rooftop was the highlight of the day - the kids loved the Moroccan pancakes. Dominique the owner was super helpful and friendly with lots of local tips. The location was very convenient. All in all a wonderful holiday.

We lived pretty much everything. Perhaps the breakfast could be varied a little. Also it would be great if people could buy cold drinks at the riad during the day.

Beautiful riad in the medina. Helpful staff who organised taxis etc. When we arrived on New Year’s Eve, they included us in the evenings planned festivities. Was cold in the mornings and evenings but great heating in our suite. We loved having the riads gorgeous cat spending time with us. The highlight was our afternoons spent on the roof terrace with the most gorgeous views of the medina and Atlas Mountains lying on the sun beds after a busy morning of activity.
