“Traditional Morroccan hospitality”
Lovely Moroccan hotel. I stayed here for 1 night at the end of a 1 week horse riding trip. My room was very comfortable and I loved the decor and traditional design of the hotel interior. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great.

“Wonderful Stay, Highly Recommend!”
We had an amazing time at this riad. Everything was spotless, the bathroom was modern and clean, and we were generously upgraded to a terrace room for free. Breakfast was delicious and varied. The location is perfect, just 5 minutes from the beach and right in the heart of the old Medina. A peacef… more

“Highly recommend”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The room was spacious, decorated beautifully and there was a vase of fresh roses on the table in our sitting area, in fact there were fresh roses throughout the riad. It was quiet and peaceful and we had a good sleep. It was one of the best riads we stayed in through… more

“Location, location, location”
This hotel is full of traditional charm and located midway down the main shopping street of the old Medina so while it is easy to get lost in the many little alleyways Maison du Sud is easy to find. It is a shot walk to the beach and a shorter walk to get on the walls. My room #17 was huge sleeps … more

“Reminiscent of backpackers lodges of the 1990's”
Lovely staff and great location unfortunately the room is reminiscent of the backpackers hostels I stayed in 30+ years ago especially for the price. The room was big but dingy and not too clean ant the awful music from the Venus bar next door was too load and intrusive until after 11 at night.

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
