It was like living in a dream. Dar Bensouda was absolutely stunning and everything exceeded my expectations. They should be charging more, it was almost unfair how perfect everything was.

United States of AmericaEverything. The view from the big terrace is breathtaking. The riad is actually enormous, with different rooms to chill, read a book or just tanning in the sun. After one day everyone seemed familiar and that is amazing specially when travelling solo. Yazid was the greatest host always available to help with any question - he actually arranged an amazing tour guide in the city. You should also try the massage and the Hammam - what an experience. The experience was lovely and I totally recommend Dar Bensouda.

PortugalThe Riad was absolutely stunning and our room was exquisite. Full of old world charm and modern amenities. Both the bedroom and bathroom were beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was a retreat. Despite it's convenient location in the busy Medina, the rooms and courtyard were so quiet and peaceful. The dinner meal and breakfast was also top notch. The hotel staff were wonderful - full of Moroccan hospitality. They served us tea and sweets at our reception and ensured every need was taken care of. They also helped do our laundry and assisted with ensuring we could navigate the Medina. We would absolutely book Dar Bensouda again (and stay longer next time!).

United States of AmericaIt was a very nice stay. The Riad arranged for picking us up from the airport and it went smoothly. They greeted us with mint tea and sweets, and then showed us around the Riad and told us the story of this beautiful 300 years old building. The location is great, inside Medina and quite close to attractions. Room is spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious. The staff is always very helpful when we have questions. All in all very lovely 3 days stay for us in Fes.

Company info
My name is Abdellatif Ait Benabdallah, I am the owner of Dar Bensouda and I am a Marrakech & Fes Medina lover. I’ve always had a real admiration for the traditional Moroccan architecture, and I decided to turn this passion into a job. I felt that I had the fine mission to save the Moroccan heritage and I succeeded in restoring more than 200 riads all around the Medina. I kept some of them for myself and I turned them into guesthouses, restaurants and literary cafés. I love the fact of walking around the streets of the Medina and the interaction with the different kinds of people has always been my strength.

Every detail, simple or complex, the harmony of its proportions, the magic of it's colours and the extraordinary marriage of the ceramic tiling with the stucco work and wood, all bear witness to the elegance and refined taste of the first owner, the saint Bensouda (who lies at rest in the Zaouia opposite the riad).
