My husband and I only had one night in Fes on our honeymoon, but it was very memorable thanks to Riad Fes Baraka. The riad itself is beautiful and clean, and our room (the Berbère suite) was cozy and quiet despite being right next to the pool and courtyard. What especially made our stay great was Samir's hospitality. He welcomed us with incredible Moroccan mint tea, organized a medina guide for us last minute, and went above and beyond when we asked him to take a few photos of us in the riad. We were sad to leave so soon, and would definitely stay here again should we make it back to Fes in the future.

The only thing we didn't like was that we didn't have more time here! Nothing negative to say.

It was a lovely Riad in the best location of Fes. Just a few steps away from nice bars, cafes and restaurants. For us it was the first time in Marokko, and the first time we stayed in a Riad rather than a hotel. Great choice! We felt at home! The riad is beautiful, we enjoyed having breakfast and dinner in the courtyard of the riad. Great food! Thanks Samira for cooking so great! I also had my best hamman and massage ever. Much much better that the one in the medina in "touristic hammam" places. We highly recommend the Medina tour that they help us arrange (for Italian or French people, the guide Mohammed is top!). The hospitality of the staff and manager are incredible. Touria, Samir, all of you, we really want to thank you from the bottom of our heart! You are so kind and helped us with everything, transportation, tours... and always with a big smile! THANKS!

We had the family room and there was plenty of space. The manager got gluten free bread for my daughter which was really nice of him. The hamman massage was in tight quarters but well worth it and the ladies were great.

The only part we didn't like was on our first night of arrival we asked for dinner recommendations. The manager walked us to a place and we felt pressure to eat there by the way it was handled with the restaurant person coming out and what felt like a "trade off". It was our most expensive meal of the trip and there were other options nearby that would have been a better fit for our family. They also didn't take credit card.

The staff were very friendly, especially the night manager. They had a good selection of Moroccan wine at a very reasonable price. It is a very elegant Riad with nice touches in the decor.

The bed was so close to the walls on either side that it was actually quite difficult to get out of. We hadn’t appreciated that although we had a private bathroom it was not in the room but down two steep steps, across a stairway that others used, and up two steep steps. This was quite inconvenient, especially at night when you had to get sufficiently dressed in case you met others in the stairs.

Our two-night stay at Riad Fes Baraka was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we booked, the hospitality was evident—our host, Samir, reached out via WhatsApp to offer assistance with transportation, guide services for exploring the old Medina, and even the option of a freshly prepared dinner upon arrival. As strict vegetarians, we often face challenges finding meals that cater to our dietary needs, but Samir and his team went above and beyond to create an unforgettable dining experience. The meal they prepared for us was, without a doubt, the best we had during our two-week trip through Morocco—so much so that we opted to dine at the riad again on our second night. Every ingredient was sourced fresh from the market that day, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation was outstanding. Upon arrival, Samir personally met us outside to assist with our luggage and welcomed us into the riad with traditional Moroccan mint tea. He took the time to help us plan our time in Fes, ensuring we made the most of our visit. After settling in, my friend indulged in a traditional Hammam and massage at the riad and highly recommends the experience. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of travel and set the tone for a relaxing stay. We stayed in the Serial Suite, which was both stunning and comfortable. The traditional Moroccan decor, soaring ceilings, and private terrace created an atmosphere of elegance and relaxation. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was excellent, and while the room did not have a refrigerator, Samir kindly offered to store our drinks in the kitchen and provide ice whenever needed. The riad also features a beautiful rooftop lounge where guests can unwind. Wine is available for purchase by the bottle, and a Carrefour nearby offers additional beverage options if you would like some beer.

Exceeded our expectations! The room did not have a refrigerator, but they will put beverages in the refrigerator for you and provide ice.

Big rooms and they had a pool which would be great in the hotter months. The breakfasts were good and they were nice to pack us one to go as we had to leave early on the second day. The staff were friendly and helpful. Found us an exceptional tour guide to take us around Fes! An experience that we will forever be grateful for.

Only one thing I would mention to the owner is that the lighting in our room could have been better. It was a beautiful room with high ceilings but the lights are a bit too high up to provide adequate lighting.

Quiet location and beautiful property. Food was good and the riad is well maintained. We aware travelling with children 8 and 9 yrs old and we enjoyed the stay here. Vegetarian food options is available and very nice pizzeria is at stones throw. We had booked for 1 night stay but after reaching Fes we decided to extend our stay in Fes for 1 one day, this Riad did not have room available so Samir took extra care to make sure we found another one, he invited us to use the pool even after our checkout - our children were very happy because they could swim after a long walking day in Fes and he personally came to drop us to our next riad - he is extremely caring. Would definitely recommend this peaceful riad.

I loved the way Samir was looking after me and explaining everything in his ability, Thank you Samir, like nearby food options and even calling and helping me place an order. We both spoke over some late night check in dinner and he shared places I could visit. I had to leave for an excursion next morning so I had a rushed breakfast which the lady made early for me, taste was unique and juice was freshly squeezed oranges. I was moved to a smaller room which I preferred as a solo traveller. The place has heritage and culture. The open riad pool roof meant listening to beautiful thunders on my first night. I ate most my day eve meals from cinema cafe restaurant, the guy always walked me back to my riad. The fez medina shopping was decent but you have to do some friendly barter here compared to Chefchaouen.

Not a fault just if I could speak maybe more Arabic or French then maybe staff can understand me better. Staff are bilingual in Arabic, French, Deutch or Spanish. So it’s fair that we learn some basic communications norms.my second room my bathroom was not in my room. So was a little tricky in the dark navigating stairs finding lights to get to it. Dropping keys in the night I felt I would disturb other guests so I tried to avoid using bathroom. A bit more about facilities on site would be good, like signage or imagery in rooms. Could do with interior upgrade but still very nice. Thank you.

The location was very convenient close to all amenities. 5 mins walk to the main square which is also a pick up point for tour guides in and out of Fes. It was 5-10 min walk to the Blue Gate which is old medina and the main bazaar. The staff at the Riad were amazing and very helpful. Collection from the airport was free, at arrival to the Riad we were greeted with mint tea and biscuits , and allowed to check in early! Massage and Hammam is also available at the Riad reasonably priced and it was good! Staff was very helpful answered all our questions and provided exceptional customer service. On our last day, we had to leave early morning before the breakfast start time and the staff accommodated us by providing us with an early breakfast!! We had a wonderful experience at this Riad!

Don’t really have anything negative to say other than the pool temperature was not regulated so the water was always cold even with 30 degree outside temperature so couldn’t really enjoy it. The rooms were dark with very low light but then again perhaps that’s how all Riads are not sure as it was our first experience in one.

This Riad is just lovely. A real hidden gem. The calm courtyard with the pool and beautiful architecture was a joy. Our room was warm and inviting and the bed was really comfy. Plenty of space to relax. The staff were so lovely, even making us a picnic breakfast when we had to leave early to get a coach to Chefchaouen. The food was great anyway! We had dinner there the first night and it was delicious. I've also started putting cumin on my eggs at home so a little part of this enchanting place has now rubbed off in Devon!!

This is not a criticism at all and we knew the set up before we arrived but having our bathroom across the landing was tricky for me, just because I am not steady on my feet and negotiating a series of little down and up steps in the middle of the night was interesting lol!
