Testimonials of our travellers
« An unforgettable experience. The bivouac under the stars, the Gnaoua music, the sunrise over the dunes… Eric organised every detail with care. We recommend it 100%. »
"New Year's Eve in the Merzouga desert will remain our finest travel memory. The meal was delicious, the magical atmosphere, and the silence of the Sahara at midnight… indescribable."
"Zagora circuit as a couple — 3 days of pure bliss. The riad is sublime, the desert grandiose, and Eric is an exceptional host. Unbeatable value for money. »
« The Riad Vendôme is a gem. Eric's welcome is exceptional, the riad is magnificent and the hammam is pure bliss. You feel right at home — only better. We'd go back with our eyes closed. »
« Of all the riads we have tested in Marrakech, this is the best value for money. The patio is sublime, the breakfast fit for royalty and the rooftop jacuzzi with Atlas views — magical. »
« Grand Tour Merzouga + Zagora with family (2 children). The children loved the camels and the bivouac. The journey is long but the landscapes breathtaking. The riad is a real haven on return. »
« The perfect couple's weekend. The hammam is authentic, the argan oil massage divine, and dinner on the rooftop at sunset — a suspended moment in time. Eric! »
« Dream hen party! We privately hired the riad for 12 girls and everything was perfect: the cooking class, the hammam, the evenings in the patio. Eric organised everything from A to Z. »
« We were looking for a quiet, well-located boutique hotel run by a French owner. The Riad Vendôme ticks all the boxes. The Dar El Bacha district is peaceful and the medina is just a stone's throw away. »
« Corporate seminar (15 guests) in an exceptional setting. The private venue, the food, the hammam after the meetings — nothing like a conventional hotel. The team was delighted. »

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Riad Vendôme well rated?
Yes: 4.2/5 on Google (617 reviews), 4.2/5 on TripAdvisor and 8.3/10 on Booking.com.
Are the reviews verified?
The reviews on Google and TripAdvisor are published by verified real guests on these platforms.
What Guests Consistently Mention in Their Reviews
After reading through 500+ reviews across Google and TripAdvisor, certain themes recur with remarkable consistency. Three stand out. First: Naima's cooking. The 5/5 Google Cuisine rating is not an outlier — guests who arrive expecting standard Moroccan food are routinely surprised by the quality and variety of what she prepares. Second: Éric's responsiveness. Reviews consistently mention the speed and clarity of communication before and during the stay, which reduces anxiety and sets accurate expectations.
Third, and perhaps most telling: the surprise gap. Guests who discover Riad Vendôme through a price comparison frequently arrive expecting something modest and leave with a disproportionately positive impression. The property is larger than photos suggest, the rooftop is more spectacular than the description conveys, and the private pool — small at 5×3m but heated and exclusively yours — transforms the experience of a Marrakech break in ways that guests describe as unexpected.
To leave your own review after your stay, the fastest route is Google: g.page/r/CYybcQDE5x9kEBM/review. Éric and Naima read every review personally and respond to all of them.
