This was a short break from sweltering hezt of Marrakech.When I booked the ryad I wawnt looking for luxury but a place to exhale. The ryad just reopened during to the Covid virus so the staff was a bit overwhelmed: cleaning lady was nowhere to be seen and toileteries were missing from the bathroom so e had to askOn a more positive note,the double room was clean, the bed comfy,hot water available and A /C worked fineThe pool is an added value espevizlly when temp hovered around 39The staff especially,Mohamed the receptionist ,was nive and very accomodating.The ryad is located on farm so it s lush and green with plenty of olive,orange and pomegranate treesFor the price we paid it was worth it

The hotel itself is very nice and clean. It is placed in a peaceful location with the mountains’ view. At night you can see the Milky Way. You can pick the fruits straight from the trees such as lemons and oranges which are really delicious. Peacocks are everywhere making this place even more like paradise. The water in the swimming pool is very clean. The food is typical Marrokan and every day it is something different. The service is professional especially Mr Khalid. The hotel has a Very friendly atmosphere. The staff is always willing to help and advice you about anything essential that you need to know such as the lower price for offered goods in Marrakesh. Transport to the city, airport etc is for free. This hotel also organises trips to beautiful places such as Atlas Mountains. So you don’t have to worry about anything. I highly recommend it

My wife and I stayed at Riad Qodwa for a week (22-29 December). Situated about 20 minutes' drive from Jemaa El Fna Place, this oasis of peace and calm has a huge courtyard with a large, well-maintained swimming pool in the middle. Orange, citrus, pomegranate, olive and rosemary trees adorn the place. Beautiful peacocks roam freely during the day. Moush, the resident kitty is so cute!We felt really pampered by the staff of Riad Qodwa. Khalid, the manager, will pull all the stops to cater to the needs of the residents. He even got us some scrumptious home-made harissa which we took back to London. Abdussamad, the waiter, always had a smile on his face. Hamide, another waiter, was so helpful. Shenaz and I LOVE the freshly-squeezed orange juice. DIVINE! The traditional Moroccan dishes on the menu were scrumptious, too.Riad Qodwa always provides a free shuttle service to and from Marrakech city centre twice a day by Yusuf, the driver. All trips can be arranged with Khalid. The trip to Ourika Valley has to be our most memorable trip. Seeing is believing! Thank you, Riad Qodwa! We miss you guys and will certainly return.

We returned last weekend having spent a week here .Beautiful surroundings fruit trees though not in blossom yet the promise of fruitfulness to come like the garden of Eden.Initially we had a room in the main building asked for a move to the new building absolutely no problem really lovely beautiful Moroccan decoration hand painted panels on the doors tiled entrance with fountains .Rooms cleaned daily linen change regularly.Spotlessly clean comfortable beds .enjoyed all our meals as said previously said all cooked to order order after six thirty and served in the dining area where there were two log fires burning. Nothing is to much trouble for Khalid the manager also Abdul and Hamid We spent several days just relaxing at the Riad enjoying the sun around 21 degrees most days .We would order a salad and Khalid would insist on bringing it to us on the terrace superb hospitality The view to the spectacular Atlas mountains is breathtaking .an oasis of peace and tranquility We even saw tortoises scuttling around the garden .There is also a lovely house cat . .The plumbing isn't the greatest but quickly sorted out unfortunately the water has to much calcium .Rooms were lovely and warm tv in many languages and a movie channel in English + bbc We will certainly return world news. The pool area was being updated but it wasn't intrusive at all We loved every moment and wished it could have been longer Thank you all for making our stay with you everything we hoped for. We will certainly return

The Riad is Moroccan style with Moroccan ways. It does not cater for any particular nationality. When we stayed there 2 weeks ago there were Afganastans, German, Austrian, Danish, Dutch, French Columbian-Germans and British. We were all treated the same - although sometimes language was a barrier. The food was Moroccan, so please don't expect bacon and egss, fish and chipsWhat was best? The willingness of the staff to help, and the wonderful time spent chatting to other guests. Pool area was being renovated so will be different from photosRooms were sufficient and in Moroccan styleWater and air conditioning were temperamental, but staff were quick to assist with difficultiesFood menu was limited but excellent. It was cooked to order so it took time to arrive. Riad is out of town - free shuttles helped, and manager would always order taxis - half the cost of those charged from townThe weather was unusually cold and wet, but fires were lit and extra blankets providedIt is what it says on the internet, be prepared to be out of town with limited resources available. The staff will help with usual trips - cheaper than on internet. many guests used them and were happy with theseIt is a place to relax, unwind, read and chat to other guestsWould I go there again. For us, yes. It will not suit everyone, so please read information carefully and then decide. For some, a few days may be enough

When we arrived at the hotel we were given a lovely welcome by 2 men called Khalid and Hassan (not sure how to spell the names) and throughout our time spent here they were so helpful and the nicest people to be around. The hotel was stunning, we stayed in the suite which was really big and was cleaned everyday. The 2 men were so helpful despite we were English and not many people spoke that language there but they seemed to understand us and they helped us out the best they could which I really appreciated. On our second day we were going into Marrakech and Khalid swapped our notes into coins and smaller notes for pictures with monkeys and snakes and warned us what it was going to be like and what to do and what not to do which was so helpful as we would have had no idea if he wouldn’t have said anything. On our 4th day we went camel riding and again through the hotel those lovely men booked it for us and told us what time the taxi would pick us up and told us about it and we got advised to do it at sunset and we did and was the best experience of the holiday. The next day I didn’t feel well I think I had the Moroccan stomach bug and I had heat stroke and I was in the room all day because I couldn’t get out of bed and Hassan kept checking on me seeing if I was alright and was asking my family if I was alright as well and then he knocked on the door and gave me this special tea that helps you get better which was really nice of him and it actually helped so if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have been well on my last day so thank you. On our last day we went into Marrakech and again the men were lovely with organising the taxis to come and pick us up and were so helpful. Overall I have loved my stay here one of the best holidays I have been in and the hotel was amazing the food is really nice and the staff were so helpful and caring towards us. Thank you for making it the best stay for me and my family and I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone because we loved it!

Absolutely perfect. I could not fault this place at all. Traditional and authentic. The hospitality is first class. Some larger hotel chains could learn a lot from the managers and staff at this place. I was a little reticent about goung to Marrakech city after reading some of the reviews, yes you do get stopped frequently but a polite shake of the head and a smile does wonders. My first time ever out of Europe and I would 100% recommend the Riad Qodwa. Thank you for looking after us so well
