The colours, the pool, the food, the profound kindness and lovely service, the roof terrace and spectacle of night sky, the sprawling little paths connecting the suites, the gardens and kitchen, the endless choice of seating (shaded, sunny, on the roof, in the patio, at the pool) and just the intimacy of the place and those who make it run... more

what a experience ! we enjoyed a wonderful house not too far from essouira, an extraordinary service and more then tasty food ... thanks to the charming Charline, Rachid, Fatima and all the others more

When my boyfriend and I first arrived at Riad Baoussala we slightly unsure of the location as it is a little bit out of Essaouira and down a winding bumpy road. However as soon as we entered the gates and were welcomed in by our absolutely lovely hosts we were immediately taken over by its charm. From the stunning pool,... more

We stayed at 5 different Riads during our stay in Morocco, and each one was different to the last, but we can safely say that Riad Baoussala was our favourite by a long way. We stayed for 4 nights and were very sad to leave. This riad has so much charm and lovely relaxed atmosphere that made us feel at... more

I highly recommend this hotel and have such fond memories of my stay. It is charmingly decorated, serves outstanding food, has lovely hosts and it is the perfect Moroccon retreat. You feel more like you're staying in someone's amazing home then like you're staying at a hotel. It is a little far from the heart of Essaoria, but it's nice... more

The term 'guest house' seemed an understatement considering the ample, comfortable and well decorated accommodation that is on offer; the rooms are clean and spacious and are set in beautifully kept... more

This was our first (we hope of many) trip to Morocco. Essaouira was recommended to us by friends and after much research on Tripadvisor we settled on Baoussala thanks to all the wonderful reviews. The riad did not let us down. After driving 3km down a bumpy dirt road (we recommend hiring a car if you are able - the... more

We (my boyfriend and I and 2 friends, also a couple) have just returned from 3 nights at Baoussala and it was my idea of bliss. The decor is attractive and stlish but also comfortable. Situated a few km's from Essauoira makes this riad perfect for those who want to get away from it all but who also want to... more

We're seasoned travelers in Morocco - having both worked and played there many times since 1994. You come across places like Baoussala from time to time and you'd always go back. Hidden away 3km down a track off the main road to Agadir, south of Essaouira, it was the perfect place for us to unwind, together with our children, 8... more
