Riad BE Marrakech

I visited Riad BE Marrakech on a girl's trip. Everything about our stay was amazing. The staff was so helpful. The food was delicious. Breakfast was a treat and the dinner menu was so good that we tried one of everything. I recently returned to Marrakech and sadly Riad BE Marrakech didn't have availability, so I had to stay elsewhere and it only reinforced how amazing Riad BE Marrakech was.

Don't trust the pictures on the Internet, they don't match what you'll get once you're there. OK, the riad is pleasant, but that's all. It is not well maintained, the furniture is a bit old and sometimes dirty. The room we had, the largest (and also the most expensive), had a terrible smell of damp coming from the bathroom. When booking online, I pre-booked dinner for the first night, thinking we would have something special. But when I asked for it, no one knew about it. The guy on the reception told me it was fine and I'd just have to order off the new menu. What a lovely menu! Dinner was ridiculously uninteresting. We had a choice of chicken tagine, vegetable tagine and lamb tagine (sorry, no lamb today), some fried food and local salads. The salad was ok, the fried food was probably not handmade, the vegetable tagine was far too salty and dry, and the chicken tagine was tasteless. Overall, the whole stay was a very disappointing experience. Although the staff are nice and friendly, I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are hundreds of riads in Marrakech and any one of them will certainly be a better choice. This place really reminded me of my backpacking experiences from my youth. If that's what you're looking for, fine (although overpriced).

Be Riad was fantastic, what made it the best was their staff - very kind and friendly. Their English was 10/10 also. I found this place via Instagram and the photos online so not do it justice. It is absolutely phenomenal. The breakfast included is healthy, delicious and has a lot of variety. Our favourites were the pancakes and fruit bowl. I would recommend organising with the riad a taxi from the airport. It would be hard to find without a taxi. The staff even met us at the taxi point to drop us off and walk us round to the entrance. Again 10/10 service. Only note to other visitors is to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. This is because you can hear noise from other rooms, however the hotel in general was peaceful and quiet. This didn't bother us as we read this tip from another review so brought some earplugs us.

Very stylish riad located in a perfect location. The design of the common areas and the rooms is very beautiful and curated in all the details. The staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful. All the guys working there were fantastic. During our 4 nights stay we had cooking class, Hammam and massages. All the activities were very well planned and done. The issues we had were related to lack of hot water during shower, A/C not working properly and frequent noise coming from the rooftop during morning / evening times. Our room (Lebzar) was a bit small but very beautiful.

I will recommend this place for pictures. I didn't stayed at this riad but I come for a day to have lunch. They offer lunch and pool day , also yoga and pool day. The food is expensive but very tasty. I want to mention about the 2 pools ,which are very instagrammable but they are not heated ,the water is freezing. I couldn't use them , no one informed me about this issue. I paid 60 euro for 2 people for lunch and pool day ,but unfortunately I couldn't use the pool because the water was freezing, also on the terrace was a bad smell . But the place is nice decorated and is got a lot of press.
