Great location inside the Medina but still quiet and peaceful. Welcome tea was delicious and breakfast was a typical Moroccan breakfast which was great to start your day. Would definitely recommend to a friend

they don’t take visa and there was a very minor issue with AC once but they fixed it right away anyway.

Prior to coming, we had a bad experience with a different riad and so we moved here. The staff was super friendly and kind and the pool was so nice after a long hot day at the souks (they even gave us free drinks while using the pool). The rooftop is super nice and has a really nice view of Marrakech. Me and my friend were staying together and the bathroom was bit open, but we didn’t mind honestly because it was such a beautiful room and comfy.

Riad Shambala was an amazing place to stay! Rabiaa was a very helpful host who went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Breakfast was provided along with tea throughout the day, the Riad is on the doorstep of the medina and easy to access, the room was exactly what we wanted and the rooftop and pool were stunning. My wife and I loved the stay! Thanks Rabiaa

Rabia welcomed & hosted us as if we were family. His colleagues were also outstanding & the riad was kept exceptionally clean & well attended. Comfortable beds in traditional style bedrooms, plenty of bedding for colder nights, lots of very hot water. A lovely rooftop & courtyard. The location in the Medina is excellent. It was a privilege & a pleasure to stay at Riad Sgambala

Price a little expensive

Perfect stay for a trip to Marocco. The owner is the best helper. He can find everything, just ask.

The heart of this riad truly comes from its staff. We felt very welcomed and supported by Rabia, who also helped to coordinate our day-trip to Essaouira. It was a sanctuary to come back to the riad after a busy day visiting the city. The hotel breakfast was also delicious. We were originally concerned by the comments that discussed loud noise (we even packed ear plugs just in case), but we were not disturbed by the noise in our rooms. The riad has two rooftop terraces that we didn't immediately notice from the photos, which we loved. It is also lot brighter during the day in the courtyard than the pictures seem to show, which we were pleasantly surprised by.

The best thing about the riad was the staff! They were so nice and kind and extremely helpful! Rabia informed us of everything to do as well as giving us some tips with taxis airport everything! Such genuine and lovely people! Would stay again 100% 💕

I liked everything. The style of the place, the location, the staff. All perfect. Super clean homely feeling. I will come again and I will recommend it to my friends.

The riad is situated in the outer part of the medina. Everything can be reached in walking distance but it is more quiet than right in the center, which is nice. Also Radi and his colleague are very friendly and extremely helpful with booking trips and recommendations for the city.

Thank you for welcoming us so well at riad, it felt like we were at home. It was an incredible experience and you are very good people, thank you for everything! We'll definitely be back, thank you ☺️

The riad has a good location and it’s the best riad in Marrakech!!! Everyone was so kind,helpful and friendly!! The riad was always so clean. The breakfast was tasty, and they have the best tea. The rooftop has an amazing 360° view for the city, and it’s the best spot for the sunset. We are 100000% satisfied and we can only recommend this riad! I will definitely go back.

Nothing that could be helped. Sometimes walking to the Riad wasn't the most comfortable at night. But this made the Riad even more of a hidden gem.

Rabi3 was a very good host. Polite and helpful and gave great advice on how to conduct ourselves in the area. He was helpful in our booking of cabs and also in the discussion of deals we had made for the packages we booked. The cook was a lovely lady when it came to making breakfast and very helpful as there were mornings where we needed an earlier breakfast as we were going away for a tour.

Everything was excellent

Everything is as shown in the pictures, the staff is amazing and the place itself is beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was prepared fresh everyday and the host was always available to help or to give tips of places to visit. Super recommended!

Amazing team who made you feel like family from the moment you step into the door. It's a beautiful Riad with only 5 rooms that it offers a close and personable experience to engage in the space or with hosts/guests inside. Mohamad was an exceptional host and kindly offered breakfast with an early check-in as it was available, provided travel advice & options at my leisure (was not pushy with tours as I've experienced with some other riads), and even welcomed me to try his amazing couscous when he knew I worked through some meals. Dining in the Riad for breakfast in the courtyard was picturesque viewing the dip pool and sunsets on one of the two terraces was also a beautiful escape from the busy Medina which was located a short 10 minute walk. The room I had was spacious and gorgeously decorated with a spa tub and robes. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a home away from home, the comfort of being able to be apart of their guesthouse, and a family who welcomed me in so lovingly from Mohamed to his friendly cousin to finally beautifully sweet Naima who gifted me a farewell token. 💞 #scatterbrain

We really appreciate the hospitality of our hosts. They were be so kind with us all time. The breakfast was super nice every day and we loved our room. The riad has a nice rooftop and you can find a place to rest from the city. They helped us with recommendations and also some advices before leaving. High recommended! Hope to get back.

I loved the place, everything was better than expected, Redouane and his team in the Riad and abroad just made it easier and more enjoyable. They organise trips to the despert and also make the best tea I tried in Marrakech. Special thanks to my dear friend Abdul. Will try to be back soon.
