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 recent trip to MARRAKECH will be one of the most memorable for a long time to come.......RIAD QODWA is one of the most TRANQUIL /SERENTISED hotel/locations I have had the pleasure to visit in a long time....out standing staff members...and management....so kind and careing....constantly working to comply with all guests needs...24/7.....khalid ..the manager..could not have made me feel any more welcome and comfortable than I already was...the SUPER enclosed surroundings of the ATLAS MOUNTAINS simply adds to the peaceful ambience of the Moroccan charm.....(SHALL MISS MARRAKECH DEEPLY).....Great location..with a free bus shuttle twice a day to MARRAKECH it's self...only 30 mins drive.....and the experiences driving there make the journey all the more worth 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.

The views were amazing, they opened a new villa across the street, with larger rooms and another pool. Food is great. A/C in every room, plus a fireplace...

The views were amazing, they opened a new villa across the street, with larger rooms and another pool. Food is great. A/C in every room, plus a fireplace in the dining room. The staff spoke many languages so there wouldn't be a problem communicating.

We decided to book a week here in May for a chance to relax and that's exactly what we did. This riad is so very typically Moroccan a very tranquil place to relax. We had a fantastic week here the staff were very helpful at all times and couldn't do enough for us. The food is out of this world, yes you have to order in advance as it is all freshly prepared for you and very tasty. We enjoyed our stay so much we are looking to book again next year

Negative reviews and overselling marketing ploys by booking agents (to describe this Riad as a 4/5* is misleading) bely the beauty, peace and hospitality of Riad Qodwa.  It's true the property would be helped with some refurbishment but the Morroccon style is rustic, charming and beautiful. If you're looking for the conventional, want entertainment reps encouraging water exercises, games, volley ball, hard sell on drinks etc look elsewhere..We stayed for 12 nights August 2018. The weather was gloriously hot and sunny. On arrival we were met by the lovely Hamid who provided us a map and went through key areas of interest, and settled us into our room. Khalid also provided a warm welcome, tips on pricing and haggling.This a cool, relaxed, chilled, no sell Riad in the middle of nowhere. Exactly what I wanted and greatly recieved. Food service requires some planning but given the level of staffing and numbers of check ins/out which happen on a daily basis, the frequent demands by guests, it is forgivable, and not a hardship for a laid back holiday. Rooms were cleaned daily, sheets, towels changed daily. Staff were always accommodating (even trying to find a spider in the bottom of the pool my son thought he saw). The pool is cleaned every morning and chlorinated, the temperature was wonderful.Twice daily shuttle into the medina is free. Our excursions were all booked through the Riad without any problems, and all reasonably priced.I've fallen in love with Marrakesh! Having visited 63 places around the world this has been by far the best experience. Thank you dearly, Khalid and Hamid, and to all your staff.
