Everything was simply wonderful. We come to Marrakech every December; since staying here, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.
NetherlandsBeautiful Riad with lovely staff, happy to help you anyway they can. The food is exceptional and freshly prepared for you everyday. The room was spotless and the bed really comfortable. It's lovely and peaceful and quiet! Karim is a wonderful manager and the animal sanctuary he is helping to create nearby is a a lovely selfless act.
United KingdomVery beautiful place to stay, even more if you like animals. (There are dogs and cats , very friendly and clean) The Riad is located at around 16km from Marrakech, so a car is needed. But it is definitely worth it, for the quiet and the night view. We totally recommend lunch or dinner , homemade, in there. Food was exceptional. Great place for family, couples , groups.
FranceA beautiful riad away from the madness of the main tourist areas. The riad is wonderfully decorated, they have a good eye for stunning detail. The rooms are spacious with little kindnesses like complimentary bottles of water and some slippers. The riad was spotless and I could see why as throughout the day staff would go over areas that needed it. The food is absolutely amazing, traditional Morrocan food. I had a chicken tagine and lamb both were mouh watering made fresh to order. I was welcomed with traditional Morrocan tea and biscuits and my lunch was taken even though I arrived late. I relaxed by the pool for most of my stay which was exactly what I needed. Karim organised transport into the city when I needed it. I also had comfortable transfer from the airport to the riad which only took 20 minutes. I will be back and would highly recommend this riad to anyone. Its so peaceful no noise from people or bikes etc like in the medina.
United KingdomAmazing hosts, warm, friendly and very welcoming. At the end of our short stay it felt like we were leaving a home not a hotel. The food and service was exceptional. We let Karim decide our lunch and dinner and all the meals were fantastic. On my birthday Karim got me a cake from a great patisserie which was both delicious and unexpected. The location is outside Marrakech but Karim arranged all transfers and taxis, and took care of the payments, so we didn’t need to worry about unreasonable fares. We’re already looking forward to revisiting and thoroughly recommend the Riad.
United KingdomBeautiful place, absolutely stunning!!! Staff, food and everything was just gorgeous
AustraliaWe loved the whole place. A lovely Riad and main house set in beautiful gardens. The staff were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble - and the food DELICIOUS! There are renovations going on to update the rooms that are stunning. Once done I would thoroughly recommend Dar Ilham for a restful stay! Thank you Karim and all your staff.
United KingdomOn y mange très bien ! C'est un peu éloigné du centre ville (environ 25-30 min en voiture) mais les transferts s'organisent facilement à un prix raisonnable. Les chambres sont spacieuses et la décoration est soignée. L'établissement est très calme, avec ses deux piscines et une belle végétation. Détente assurée !
