You have to be thick-skinned not to be put-off by the confrontational attitude and occasional sarcastic comment from the mother. During the three nights my boyfriend and I stayed there we witnessed her ordering around and yelling at the house keeper or, "my Mohammed" as she calls him.... the ownership this implied made us a little uncomfortable. I did notice... More

This is one heck of clean place and that is the one thing I will hold on to about my stay. The owner is very helpful on what to around the area and is also a bit of a character. There is a great restaurant before you get to the hostel which has fab food at brilliant prices. Chefchaouen is... More

Location is good. Stunning roof terrace with 3 tiers, amazing views and a conservatory with TV and loads of DVDs. Really clean and tidy with beautiful decor and a calm atmosphere. The owner was helpful over email prior to arrival as we had changed our plans and dates. We didn't get to meet them as they were on holidays but... More

My girlfriend and I relocated to this hotel after an appalling night in one of the other hostels in Chefchaouen. At first we thought we'd struck gold, the Riad was pretty central, easy to find and had an amazing rooftop terrace, whilst the room was clean with an en suite. The British owners, Joe and Anne, seemed like a refreshing... More

Stayed here with 4 friends and regretted it. Rooms small, stinky and lack of toilet paper and general hygiene. I heard that it was cockroach season but they could have done something about the drains as each day new ones would appear in the room. The guy running the place Lyam was generally over his head, appeared stoned and unwilling... More

Can't beat the value of this place. Great location in the medina. The riad was completely renovated and very clean. Good working wifi internet in the rooms. The rooftop terrace is stunning, and a great place to hang out. After reading some of the negative reviews of the English hosts on TripAdvisors, and being warned by some other travellers prior...

Although the hostel is clean, the owner and his mother are perhaps the most impolite and rude people i've ever met. The room was ready only half an hour after we arrived and there were some staff guys making lots of noise right outside our room . Next morning, after a rude explanation about their breakfast, we tried unsuccessfully to... More

I stayed at Riad Baraka for two nights in September 2012. Upon arrival, I found this a gorgeous little hotel, very clean and well decorated. It has a wonderful rooftop where you can enjoy stunning views of Chef. However, my living there was quickly made unbearable by the owners, who are without question the rudest people I met during my... More

This stylishy decorated riad was the place we felt most at home in Morocco. Located in the blue walled medina of an accessible little mountain town, within walking distance from everything, rooms are small but pretty. There are amazing views from the roof tops, and several pleasant public areas to relax, read books or watch DVDs. We extended our stay... More

This is an amazing place to stay. Joe and Anne made our stay very comfortable, the rooms were excellent, the roof terrace is amazing, the breakfast that Anne makes is fresh and yummy for 30dh and the location could not be better. We booked for two nights and extended by another two, tried to book for a further two but... More
