Guest Reviews
- Issa (7/5): Okay facility- a bit dated and location was easy walk to shops and port. - The upstairs room was fine (number 8). The water pressure in the shower was very good. The downstairs room (number 1) was very musty and had a bad smell like there was a sewer backed up.
- Emily (10/5): Just lovely! - The decor was really beautiful and staff were extremely hospitable! That there was not someone that remained at the Riad thought the night. But to be fair this was not advertised so it was my fault for assuming it was more like a hotel.
- Donna (10/5): Perfection - The decor and staff were amazing we even had a complimentary upgrade can’t recommend highly enough
- STEPHANE (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Location. Spacious junior suite. Lovely appointments and details
- Anders (10/5): -
- BORREL (8/5): -
- Yvonne (9/5): Beautiful atmospheric chilled place to stay - A beautifully decorated, well located hotel. The free minibar and fabulous continental breakfast was greatly appreciated. The host and all staff we met were very welcoming and pleasant. They showed us the facilities and explained everything clearly to us on arrival. A gem of a place! The only small issue we had was with the location of our suite. Being on the ground floor, right next to the seating area, we felt like we didn't want to open our windows and shutters for privacy reasons. Otherwise everything was lovely and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again
- Adriana (8/5): Wonderfull - Lovely old house and setting in old Tarifa. Room amenities
- Dunton (9/5): Lovely staff, comfortable beds - It is different from corporate hotels My room smelt slightly damp although there were no signs of damp in my room
- Emmanuelle (7/5): -
- Dyah (10/5): Beautiful and comfortable ! - It’s very beautiful antique hotel, very comfortable, in the old town but quiet …and so closed to car parking like 3 minute walk. Cafes and shops also around. If we ever coming back to Tarifa, we’ll definitely stay there again Nothing
- Alain (9/5): Sehr gut, eine Vorabinfo sowie eine Preisreduzierung bezüglich Renovation wäre angebracht - InnenArchitektur, Lage, sehr freundliches Personal Umbauarbeiten der Dachterrasse
- STUART (10/5): -
- FEDERICA (8/5): -
- Gennaro (10/5): Piacevole e rilassante - L’originalità della struttura e la posizione

- Neeltje Maria (10/5): Fantastische sfeervol hotel midden in centrum - Wat een heerlijke plek om te verblijven. Midden in het centrum van Tarifa, een fantastisch klein hotel in Marokkaanse sfeer. Het personeel is zeer behulpzaam, alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. We gaan hier snel terugkomen.
- Anna Maria (10/5): -
- Francis (10/5): -
- Serge (5/5): -
- Rolf (9/5): - Super Lage, originell eingerichtet, sehr freundlicher Empfang. Konnten spontan den Aufenthalt ändern und zwei Tage vorher kommen.
- Tuike (10/5): - Todella kaunis ja viihtyisä hotelli.
- Maria (7/5): Repetiría en otra habitación superior - Nos ofrecieron el desayuno incluido en el precio, sin tenerlo contratado, en una terraza muy agradable El hotel es muy agradable y bien ubicado pero no me resultó cómodo el hecho de que la bañera estuviera al lado de la cama.
- FORTUNATO (10/5): - Soggiornare in questo posto è stata un’esperienza davvero piacevole. La posizione è super centrale, ma sorprendentemente silenziosa: si dorme benissimo e senza alcun rumore. Tutto è estremamente pulito, la camera spaziosa e arredata in modo autentico, con un ambiente curato nei minimi dettagli che fa sentire subito a casa.
La colazione inclusa, servita in una terrazza molto carina, è un momento rilassante per iniziare la giornata.
Ma la vera chicca è l’host: gentile, accogliente e sempre presente. Quel tipo di attenzione e rapporto umano che nessuna tecnologia potrà mai sostituire. Super!!!!
- Hugh (9/5): Fantastic property, lovely staff and great location - Lovely building, location was great. Very quiet location yet 2 minutes from restaurants etc. room was a good size and was exactly the sort of accommodation we wanted and expected for a Riad. Whilst there were no tea/ coffee facilities in the room there was on the terrace one level down. Not only that we had a lovely breakfast there on the second morning which was provided free of charge which we had not expected.
We specifically chose a Riad in the old town for the experience and calm environment and were not disappointed Nothing, it was all great
- MJ (9/5): - El personal, fueron muy atentos en todo momento y nos dieron unas recomendaciones muy buenas Todo está genial, pero sería recomendable poner toallero para las toallas de mano. Sólo hay uno para la toalla de baño y es difícil que se sequen.
- Carol (10/5): Lovely stay in this fun town . Ishmael was incredibly helpful with information about the town and restaurant recommendat - Great decor, comfortable and quiet but central location nothing
- Luis Carlos (10/5): Todo oergeto volveré - Todo perfecto Tood muy bien
- Kierstin (10/5): -
- Orietta (9/5): -
- DINA (10/5): Adorei a estadia - Conforto, localização
- Myriam (8/5): A découvrir … - Nous avons bcp apprécié l’authencité, la propreté et le confort.
L’accueil était très qualitatif avec des très bonnes références locales et une attention particulière pour le petit déjeuner : simple et tellement sympa !
Pas possible de se parquer près de l’hôtel qui est vraiment central dans ruelle piétonne mais possibilité de se garer facilement ds parking publique proche et à coût modéré.
- Kathrin (9/5): Traumhaftes Ambiente, individuelle Zimmer - Die Zimmer sind alle individuell und liebevoll gestaltet. Die Lage ist top. Städtischer Parkplatz ist um die Ecke und kostet 12€ am Tag. Traumhafter Strand in 10 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen. Ebenso alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt. Alles um die Ecke. Netter Gastgeber. Frühstück ist nur klein zur Selbstbedienung auf der Dachterrasse. Hat uns aber ausgereicht (Obst, Müsli, Kuchen, Tee, Kaffee)
- Kathrin (9/5): -
- Shkëlqim (7/5): Optisch sehr schön, top lage jedoch mit gewissen Mängel - Optisch sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr nice
Lage top - Funktionausstatung/ abflusss eher verstopft beim duschen
- wasserhahn bei lavabo undicht
- sehr alter tv / kein apple tv möglich
- Curtis (10/5): -
- GEORGINA (10/5): Quiet, picturesque and good value stay - The overall ambience and decor was something else. Ismael was very friendly and really helpful. The property is very central and they have managed to keep their aesthetic of the property with the walls and roofs.
The facilities in the property were more than we expected, with a roof terrace and downstairs terrace. N/A
- Baciocchi (9/5): Una notte a Tarifa pensando al Marocco. - Struttura comoda da raggiungere dal parcheggio consigliato. Appena al di fuori del centro ciò che può essere un vantaggio durante l'alta stagione perché dovrebbe essere più silenzioso. Durante la preparazione del soggiorno e durante lo stesso il servizio è stato molto attento, risposte rapide, precise. Tanta disponibilità, molto apprezzato. Riad ben ristrutturato, come sentirsi in Marocco. Nulla da segnalare.
- Anna (10/5): - Beautiful, peaceful place. Gorgeous room and friendly, helpful staff. Loved the entrance and lounge too.
- Iwona (10/5): - Uprzejmość i kompetencje Pana, który nas przyjmował. Wyjątkowy, klimatyczny styl obiektu. Położenie.
- MIGUEL (10/5): -
- Ashley (10/5): -
- Paul (6/5): Weather was poor ( rain) . - Situation Because of weather , bedding seemed damp
- Bermúdez Moreno (9/5): -
- Marita (10/5): -
- Claire (10/5): Unusual, friendly and delightful change from the normal hotels. - The host Ismal was so welcoming and informative.
We travelled with another couple and our bedrooms were different, beds were comfortable and the hotel was very clean. An unusual experience and we loved it. I would love to return around September. It is a great experience.
A lovely terrace to enjoy at any time.
Tarifa is a windy location. It’s not a dislike, a suggestion that room with steps up to bed might be a help to older people to have a rail to hold on to getting up and down. But we had no complaints.
- Wilma (8/5): - Very quaint boutique hotel, good location Reception not present all the time and too hard to contact anyone for assistance
- Karina (10/5): tremendous - Central and staff amazing the weather................epic storm
- SERENA FRANCESCA (8/5): -

- José Manuel (10/5): -
- Sasha (9/5): Fabulous. It’s a little sanctuary in tarifa. Would definitely stay there again. Thankyou The Riad . - Everything except the roof was closed off and the first night the flap was open and there was lots of wind and it made a terrible noise . As above
- Brian (9/5): -
- Rachel (9/5): Excellent Location, lovely staff and comfortable stay! - Room was spacious, shower was great - staff very lovely Nothing to dislike, but could possibly do with a fridge in the room

- Michel (10/5): Alleen al voor deze riad naar Tariffa. Ongekende belevenis ♥️♥️♥️. Twee extra nachten bijgeboekt omdat alles klopt hier. - Alles
- Alice (10/5): Fab stay - very comfy beds and helpful staff! Lovely terrace for tea - Great terrace for complimentary tea and snacks
- Rocio (6/5): Céntrico pero sin ducha. - Ubicación perfecta, trato del personal excelente, decoración bonita. La bañera, que resbala, está dentro de la habitación, que es pequeña, sin mampara y sin mango de ducha, con lo cual es imposible ducharte, sin mojarte la cabeza ya q solo tiene una ducha en el techo
- Giulio (6/5): -
- Federica (9/5): - Struttura stupenda, staff gentilissimo
- Franco (10/5): -
- Pietro (10/5): -

Außergewöhnliches , individuelles Design der Zimmer
- brooks (5/5): Nice place but not easy to locate - Nice and clean Hard to find, no staff available at check in
- ELEONORA (8/5): Ci tornerei volentieri e straconsiglio - Posizione e struttura stessa. Bella e particolare
- Miguel Monteoliva (8/5): -
- Dolores María (6/5): Decepcionante - La localización y el personal. La habitación era pequeña e incómoda. Había humedad y el colchón estaba en el suelo. Además había unos pilares al lado de la almohada con las terminaciones en pico afilado un poco peligroso. La ducha abierta ( poca intimidad) no tenía flexo ( fundamental para las mujeres que no nos lavamos el pelo cada vez que nos duchamos). Escasa luz para maquillarte o depilarte. Tampoco disponía de muebles o baldas donde dejar las cosas. Mal insonorizado, escuchas desde la cama la fuente, el resto de huéspedes subiendo o bajando la escalera y las cañerías. Creo que la decoración no lo es todo, habría que darle una vuelta para mejorar el confort.
- Pablo (9/5): -
- Moisés (9/5): - La decoración que tiene en todo el edificio.
- Mark (8/5): Lovely Host, very knowledgeable and helpful. Unique accommodations in a walkable area. - Unique property, walking distance to beach, restaurants, ferry. Perhaps a little noisy at night due to the area, and older building with open shutters to the main atrium.
- svante (5/5): -
- Veronika (9/5): -
- Rony (8/5): - Inkom, slaapkamer, koffie en theefaciliteiten Dakterras was niet open

Confortable et parfaitement localisé pour profiter de Tarifa.
Une perle !
- Alfonso (10/5): Alfonso and Dawn - Beautiful place. Very comfortable beds and mostly good taste in furnishings and decoration. A stone wall in the bedroom. Walking shower. A roof terrace with self service coffee in the mornings is free of charge. Staff are Knowledgeable of the area and gave us good tips. Parking is very close but the overnight charge is 12.80 euros.
- Cristina (10/5): - La tranquilidad, la comodidad de la cama, el ambiente, la decoración, Realmente me gusto todo.
- Jocelyne (10/5): - Tout. Bel hébergement original, très bien placé. Très bon petit déjeuner.
