"The hotel sits in a lovely position with easy access to a beautiful golf course. Common areas are in reasonable shape but rooms are very worn down and badly need redecoration and new furniture. The staff is competent and kind and the breakfast buffet excellent. Also have a good spa."

"The hotel is very big with lots of facilities . The only thing is that service is quite slow and facilities like sauna and steam are only started when you are physically there . Therefore cannot be enjoyed fully as it takes time to heat up"

"The owners were very helpful and it is very central to the medina. The breakfasts were lovely. However the room was cramped and the bathroom was actually in the room, so you could hear everything. A nice place but I would be very careful about which room you book"

"Great facility in Essaouira with private beach access across the street.
Very courteous staff and beautiful pool area. Breakfast is delicious. Probably the best place to stay in the area. Would definitely return."
"As soon as we entered the Riad Emotion we felt very welcomed by the staff. Our experience was amazing. The breakfast was outstanding, the service was amazing and the interior design was spectacular. The owners were very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend the Riad Emotion. Joseph and Tara"
"Amazing experience. The spa was so peaceful best massage of my life. Loved the rooftop to hang out. My cousin and I had the best experience with the most friendly staff. Will stay again. "
"The hotel was not good. The towels were shockingly old, the pillows REALLY old and the rooms uncomfortable. The whole stay was uncomfortable and shockingly bad for the price they were charging. The service was incredible. Mohammed was amazing. But I feel the owners of Villa Daba whom we never saw must be overcharging and letting the hotel go into disarray. The conditions of the room were shockingly old. I've never in my life seen pillows like this, or towels this old. If you're charging this much and insisting on cash payment, you must provide items not from decades ago. Also, it's not Essaouira. It's deceiving. Everywhere it says Villa Daba Essaouira. But it's 15 min from Essaouira. There is nothing close. Nothing. And the villa only offers a breakfast and that's it. The rooms are really hot and became insufferable at night, you can't open windows, no screens and lots of bugs. Tourist trap. We got a really bad rash from the pool and shower gel. Avoid."
"A mere review cannot fully describe how lovely our experience at this riad was. Hayat, Fatiha and Nezha truly put so much soul into caring for their guests and go above and beyond for any simple request.
Stay here if you find yourself in Essaouira."
"Convenient location. Clean room. Nice road beautifully decorated. Standard breakfast. No air conditioning but open window cooled room very nicely. Would prefer television for when in room in evening. Free WiFi."
"Solo older traveller staying in the Pink Floyd room. Bed was huge & comfortable. Water pressure in shower was excellent along with the hot water. Very comfortable. Staff friendly, accommodating, approachable & spoke many languages. An interesting quirky funky place with lots of genuine love."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Dar El Q’dima, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the vibrant Medina of Essaouira, this stunning riad offers an authentic yet luxurious Moroccan experience.
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and beauty of the riad. The intricate details in the design, from the mosaic tiles to the beautiful carved woodwork, reflect the rich cultural heritage of the city. The courtyard, with its fragrant flowers, provided a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The rooms were equally impressive, each uniquely decorated with a blend of traditional Moroccan elements and modern comforts. My room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered a perfect mix of comfort and elegance and the attention to detail in the decor made it feel like a true Moroccan sanctuary.
What truly sets Dar El Q’dima apart, however, is the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay , BIG SHOUT OUT TO YASSIR he was nothing short of perfect. From recommending the best places to eat, their warmth and hospitality made me feel like a valued guest.
The rooftop terrace is another highlight of the riad – the views of the Medina and the ocean in the distance are breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a refreshing mint tea and soak in the surroundings.
If you’re looking for an authentic, tranquil Riad Dar El Q’dima is the place to stay - Sincerely,
Hakim H.
Traveler from New York."
"What a lovely stay! Within the walls of the city and a 3 min walk to the beach! This spot was special. We had a basic room and still had lovely high ceiling bedroom. The major selling point was the helpful and personal customer service and the terrace views over the beach. "
"3 nights of sheer enjoyment. Good food and service. Thanks especially to Kawter who takes huge pride in the Riad and encourages guests to come back. "
"Beautiful building, friendly accommodating staff, excellent location near lots of fantastic restaurants and right next to the beach and markets. Very highly recommend. "
"Arrived at the town and either this property doesn't exist or the directions are horribly inaccurate. Phone number didn’t work and they didn't respond to and messages I sent. Do not attempt to book this property "
