Riad Baraka Reviews

Good location, nice place, excellent view from the terreace.

The best Riad experience I have had in Morocco. A great place in a great city. Rooms were well decorated and the downstairs had a great feel for breakfast and hanging out. The roof was host to a small movie room, and a great view. Anne told it how it was, and was a unique experience than any other Riad owners I've met in Morocco.

Great hostel in a great city. Staff is helpful and speaks English. Excellent rooftop view. Will be back.

Awesome experience! Only stayed for one night but wished we could stay for more--felt right at home.

Great hotel all around. It's a little tucked into some streets so it's difficult to find the first time but after that it's very simple to get back to. Joe was a great host; very kind all around catering to any needs. The rooms were spotless and very nicely decorated and the shower was excellent. After we checked out and were sitting in the lobby biding our time to go to the bus station, the mother became a bit ill tempered with us out of the blue and we felt as though we were being shooed out.

In this hostel we really felt european touch in any details. I mean the room was finaly bright, blankets warm, everything clean and even garbage bin in a room (seriously in other 5 hostels we could not find). The terrace was superb!!! Very good shower. Ok, it is not a party hostel but in off-season none of marrocean hostels are a party type hostels.

Very clean and homely hostel. Proprietor Joe is a very friendly guy, and is willing to give advice about travelling and life. Great facilities, with a TV room on the terrace, that boasts an extensive range of DVDs (although some may be in French ) and an honesty policy fridge that is stocked with beer and wine. One rule; be very gentle with the doors.

A great place in Chefchouen! Perfect Morocco atmosphere, amazing roof to relax with great view from town. Joe, the owner, is allways there with great tips if you need anything.

Very cute, great value for money and central position in the medina. Loved the rooftop terrace but the constant pot smell throughout the riad could be overwhelming.

Awesome place to stay!!! Beautiful rooms, very calm and clean place. Amazing roof top terrace gutted i didnt get to experience it in summer. Had great conversations and laughs with the owner, he offered great advice and recommendations. I would stay here again in a heartbeat :)

Joe was a gracious host. He provided us with some excellent tips on places to go in our onward travels.

As instructed, I've told Melting Pot to put up the fuckin signs. 30 dh for breakfast is a bit steep Joe!

By far the best hostel I stayed in Morocco! Above average in cleanliness, finally a place with western standards (and staff/owner!)

Very happy with my stay here. Everything was very good. Very good facilities, especially, the roof terrace.

Good location with cozy atmosphere and room decoration. It has special terrance and even DVD room, not to mention the clean towel and sheet, warm blanket and 24-hr heater. Joe has his own rule, but it's easy to follow and accomplish to general secure and quiet environment. Breakfast is not included, but there is so many cheap and delicious food over the counter. Chefchaouen is a wonderful small town and Riad Baraka definitely add its strength!

We loved our stay at Riad Baraka. Fantastic location and especially helpful staff. The Riad is spotless and warm (the warmest we came across). Hot showers and nice breakfast. Great rooftop views and atmosphere. Thanks to Joseph for the best time...we wishwe could have stayed longer.

Great riad with a lot of character. The rooms were a bit small, but we didn't mind. The rooftop patio area was a terrific surprise, and the views were gorgeous. We only stayed here 1 night (because we were only in Chefchaouen for 1 day), but wished we stayed here longer. Joe, the manager, was a cool character, and we enjoyed his company.

Owner Joe and his mother Anne are helpful in providing info and a walkthru of the property-very charming, exceptionally clean although the rooms are a bit small but very functional. The terrace is fabulous as it has mutl-levels and watching the sunset (part of it anyway because the mountain blocks some of it) and sunrise with the muezzing for prayer is a very spiritual experience. We definitely think this is the cleanest riad we have stayed in Morocco for 3 weeks.

Little tricky to find the place and some signs leading you in from the Medina gate would be useful. But once inside the place is welcoming and staff takes you on a tour. The internet worked well from the room and there was beer available in the fridge. Main gripes would be having a heater available in the room and the ensuite shower was rough and wouldn't keep constant temperature but the shared showers were decent.

This was a lovely, quirky little hideout in blue-blue Chefchaouen. It was a great base to explore the city, and the proprietors were quite fun. Really nice breakfast - once everyone is up and going!
