Our family immediately felt at home here. We came in to Marrakech after a day and a 1/2 camel trek and camping experience. We were hungry, cold and damp. The staff at the Riad Samsara welcomed us with mint tea and the offer to grab us sandwiches from down the street. We were stunned by the beauty and peacefulness of the Riad and of its staff. The rooms are beautifully decorated and accommodated our family of 4 very well. For the first 2 nights, we shared the Riad with another family of 4, and we never once felt crowded. We enjoyed 2 fascinating traditional Moroccan dinners and 4 amazing breakfasts at the Riad Samsara. If you are to stay here, be sure you stay in one night and have dinner cooked for you. The Riad is a perfect walking distance to the main tourist attractions, but far enough away to be able to remove yourself and enjoy a peaceful afternoon before heading out again in the evening. You will feel pampered and well taken care of when you stay at the Riad Samsara.

We have recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Morocco. I'm really glad we chose to stay with Jaqueline in her lovely riad. We were greeted like old friends as soon as we arrived. The riad is beautiful and calm and quiet which was perfect. We spent our days exploring Marrakech as it's an easy walk to the Ville Nouvelle area and jamaa el fna and souks. We would return to the riad in the late afternoons. The food prepared by Milouda is fantastic and we found that nothing was too much trouble.
Jaqueline really helped us to plan our trip and was really helpful whilst we were in Morocco. I would highly recommend this riad and I would love to return - maybe next time with the children.
We went on to spent four nights in Jaqueline's douar in the High Atlas mountains which was also fantastic. It was a really easy yet different holiday. I loved it.

I really travel a lot but I have never lived in such a beautiful, authentic house with so lovely staff. It's usually not possible to recover from work in only one week, however, at Riad Samsara it is. I felt like being a family member; very wormly welcome and being cared for by very attentive staff and naturally Jacqueline, the owner. Milouda, houskeeper and cook, is amazing. She cooks like a God; real moroccan and as you'd eat at home.

What I really liked most, apart from everything, were the dulcet oriental smells of the oil lamps which made me feel like living in the 1001 Nights tales. If I have had the possibility, I had stayed much longer than I booked in advance. And I will definitively stay longer than five days the next time! I really miss the Modus Vivendi at Riad Samsara, I miss Jacqueline and Milouda. Hope to see you all soon again.

Thank you once again for the charming and magic experience in this beautiful oasis!

By the way: Why does TripAdvisor not have six-star-rating???

Enter Riad Samsara to peace and perfection. Stayed in 2 of the 3 luscious rooms each uniquely decorated in the best Moroccan style . . . big beds with quality linens and piles of pillows, generous bathrooms with lustrous tadelakt walls of lapis and burgundy and interesting original art on the walls. Jacqueline and her staff are the ‘hostesses with the mostest’ - nothing too much trouble - the merest mention had them running to the market to buy fruit. Thanks to previous Trip Advisors - be met at the airport by taxi, have a first night’s meal at the riad and go armed with a good map of Marrakesh and a compass.
