This was supposed to be my first stay at Dar Rhizlane and part of my first visit to Morocco.
I accidentally cancelled my reservation approximately 90 seconds after making it and immediately asked for the original booking to be reinstated under the same terms.
Expedia contacted the hotel several times, and I also contacted Dar Rhizlane directly by email on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, I never received a clear response from the hotel.
I fully understand that cancellation policies exist, and I am not disputing that. What disappointed me was the complete lack of communication regarding a very simple request.
For a hotel with this reputation and positioning, I expected a much higher level of responsiveness and hospitality before arrival.
In the end, I chose to book elsewhere.
Unfortunately, this created a very poor first impression of Dar Rhizlane before I even had the opportunity to stay there.
Dar Rhizlane is a true oasis in the heart of Marrakech. The setting is simply stunning – beautiful gardens, elegant décor, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you forget you’re in a busy city.
The food was outstanding, combining traditional Moroccan flavors with refined presentation. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The cocktails and drinks were equally impressive – creative, refreshing, and served with great attention to detail.
What made the evening even more special was the excellent service. The staff were professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive throughout the entire dinner.
If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Marrakech with top-quality food, amazing drinks, and a magical atmosphere, Dar Rhizlane is a must-visit.
Highly recommended – one of the highlights of our stay in Morocco! 🇲🇦🍸✨
Beautiful hotel, but unfortunately the customer service was extremely disappointing.
I accidentally booked the wrong dates due to a booking error and noticed it immediately. Within seconds of making the reservation, I contacted Booking.com and requested a cancellation. Both Booking.com and the hotel acknowledged that it was a genuine mistake and that I had reached out right away. Also, I am pregnant and in no way able to go on the booked dates.
Despite this, the hotel refused to offer any flexibility, goodwill gesture, alternative solution, credit, partial refund, or any attempt to help. The reservation is still months away, yet there was absolutely no willingness to think along with the customer.
For a luxury hotel, I expected a much higher level of hospitality and customer care. Mistakes happen, but how a hotel chooses to handle them says a lot about its service.
The property may be beautiful, but based on my experience, the customer service falls far below what I would expect from a hotel in this category.
This hotel is a one off. Convenient location, 30 minutes walk from the souks. Beautiful smaller hotel, full of character set in beautiful gardens. Our suite was full of charm but still with all mod cons. Comfortable bed, which makes a change in hotels these days. Small pool, lovely bar with good cocktails and Moroccan wines. Wonderful staff and service, and they keep the hotel spotlessly clean. We had an amazing 4 night stay. Would highly recommend.
Gorgeous hotel with super facilities and staff who were welcoming and kind. Breakfast was great and the evening meal was very tasty and well presented too.
