I went to Essaouria for 2 days with the girlfriend and I'm glad I did. Found this place on the internet and got it for a very good price despite only booking it the day before I got there by bus. Things to know: on arrival to Essaouira it is worth ringing the owner to say you have arrived and... More

Although I didn't really like Essaouira due to the hassle I got as a blonde woman alone, this Riad was nice and I was well taken care of by Fatima, the manager who was absolutely lovely. The water went off on my second day in the old part of the medina and the owner moved me to another riad he... More

We stayed three nights in this lovely riad to explore Essaouira. The team is really friendly and its service amazing. They gave us lots of information and when we asked where we can buy bus tickets they offered to buy them for us. The rooms are not overly huge but that doesn't matter - they are nicely decorated and very... More

The staff were friendly, but that's the only positive thing i can write about this hotel. Our room was damp and musty and smelled not good. The 'private bathroom' was not private at all and wet towels that didn't dry due to the wet climate inside weren't replaced. What to say about the hammam... never seen it.

We spent two nights at Riad Darko in Essaouira and would have happily stayed longer. The bedrooms and common areas are beautifully decorated. There are many cozy alcoves to curl up in. Riad Darko is the most beautiful home I have booked in Morocco. The hostesses were friendly and hospitable. I booked the riad exclusively for our group of 8.... More

Booked in here for two nights and decided to stay for three. Staff very friendly and helpful with local knowledge. Clean, comfortable and very nicely laid out rooms. Breakfast times were flexible, could take it between 8 and 11am. Breakfast also very good. Good value too.

Beautiful little Riad in the heart of Essaouira. We stayed for two nights over the Christmas holidays and had a great time. Some of the bathrooms are outside the rooms but it isn't a big issue (you get exclusive use of your own bathroom). Breakfast on the roof terrace is the perfect way to start the day.

We had a lovely time in the Riad! It was clean and the people were very nice to us (and our little baby, 6 months old). The riad was near the beach and the shops and inside it was very quit. At the rooftop there was a relaxing place. The food (cooked by the filles) was also very good! Esspecially... More

We just landed back from 6 days at Riad Darko. From the first moment we arrived Ismahan and Hanane looked after us, we bombarded them with questions and requests and they just smiled and politely took care of everything. The Riad has it's own little hamam room and a communal kitchen and relaxing area, it was lush! EAch room is... More
