Nous avons séjourné 2 jours a priori en basse saison pour la maison, tous les services n'étaient donc pas disponibles.
La chambre était confortable et propre mais un certain nombre de détails seraient a revoir pour correspondre à cette gamme d hébergement : bonde de douche cassée et remontées d'odeurs, toilettes calées avec un bout de carton, porte fenêtre qui ne ferme pas, extérieurs non entretenus.
A priori le propriétaire nous a expliqué que la saison démarrait en mai et a notre départ le jardin commençait à être nettoyé.
Accueil sympa avec thé à la menthe dans un joli salon. Chambre hyper spacieuse et confortable avec un lit version xxl, climatisation, jolie décoration, belle salle de bains avec double vasque et baignoire encastrée. Terrasse privée donnant sur la piscine (malheureusement fermée). Parking privé fermé. Petit déjeuner sympa dans le patio sous la vigne et les cognassiers.
It’s was clean but staff stealing the guest by paying extra money for taxes or food and even taxi if u be there be carful from him and don’t apply any from him
merveilleux séjour en famille avec un accueil exceptionnel chez une famille qui partage non seulement son demeure superbement décorée et agencée, mais aussi leur culture et traditions séculaires d'hospitalité. Merci à si Driss, son épouse et sa petite famille, merci à Khadija (son couscous est une merveille) et Hassan (l'homme qui sait tout faire). Nous recommandons vivement
Very pretty guest room. Hotel staff was mixed emotions. The reception guy was very friendly and helpful. The woman was a little dry and could have been friendlier. Location was nice, but 5 minutes from the busy area, but price was good.

Goede hotel
Leuke villa met fijn zwembad, nadeel is wel dat alles een beetje verouderd is. Riool lucht in de kamer die niet weg te krijgen was, kwam door de afvoer na boven. Hier dienen ze iets aan te doen.
Het is een goed hotel maar niet 5 sterren waardig meer een 3 sterren hotel. Personeel is top, super lief en behulpzaam.

Inquire about staff availability prior to booking
I booked this location hoping for a quiet stay but we would have had a much better experience at a larger facility. On several occasions, there was not a single staff person present. On our final night, I informed the driver that we needed to be at the ferry by 8 am the next morning. We went to the lobby at 7:45 am and no one was present. There were no phone books or taxi listings available on site. We waited until 8:10 am, when I called the house's phone line (after looking up my booking online) to tell them no one was present to take our final balance. I was told someone would be there in 5 minutes and then they hung up. We waited until 8:17 am and then walked down the hill with our luggage to get a taxi. En route to the ferry, the driver ran down the taxi and pulled us over, requesting our balance (which included the transport from the house to the ferry that had not been provided). We paid our balance in cash. We ended up missing the 9 am ferry and had to purchase tickets for the next ferry at noon - another 90 Euros.
Beautiful guesthouse! We appreciated the latenight pickup at the airport (we were delayed and didn’t arrive till after 2 am). However, I wish I would have asked the price in advance—50 euros! Very expensive by Moroccan standards. The driver had a tiny car with no trunk, so we three passengers had to squish together. Each of us had one carryon case and one backpack, but the gentleman whom the driver called to translate in English commented that there was little room because we had an excessive amount of luggage. The driver was kind and helped carry our luggage, but I would think for a 50 euro airport transfer, the car would be more suitable for travelers with luggage. But the guesthouse was beautiful and spacious, the staff kind, and the breakfast very good! Wish we could have stayed longer. I’d recommend guests who need airport service to make it very clear beforehand the price, the number of passengers, and the amount of luggage they expect to have.
The place/room/ gardens/pool/ furniture are beautiful and show case the flavors of Moroccan art and design. Sets the mood for a visit to Morocco! The service was very attentive and flexible. (e.g. the breakfast was served at a time that complimented my travel plans each day). The location was great. Enjoyed the guest house very much.
scelto l'hotel come notte di appoggio dopo l'arrivo del traghetto a Tanger Med. Come previsto, il controllo alla dogana ha fatto dilatare i tempi arrivando oltre l'una di notte. nei giorni precedenti l'hotel era stato informato di questa possibilità ed erano state chieste garanzie di accettazione a tarda ora, garanzie concesse. In effetti il proprietario stava dormendo e solo dopo un po' di tempo ha aperto il cancello d'ingresso. E' il periodo del Ramadan e non c'è molto turismo (come verificato anche nei giorni seguenti) ed eravamo gli unici clienti. All'interno questo piccolo hotel è molto bello con arredamenti e rivestimenti veramente notevoli. Il proprietario si è mostrato disponibile la mattina seguente a risolvere i problemi di connessione wi fi presentatisi. Colazione modesta. Abbiamo pagato un importo delle tasse locali superiore a quello indicato sulla prenotazione.

Close to beach, old town and new town
Everything was excellent but needed heater as it was cold. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Helped us like family. Would go back and stay here for days!
Propriétaire et personnel très accueillants et auX petits soins. Propriété magnifique, typiquement marocaine du sol au plafond. Le petit déjeuner marocain est excellent . Piscine très agréable. Possibilité de manger un couscous fait avec notre participation.
le + : tres joli riad, accueil chaleureux
le - : diner pour 2 (soupe de concombre froide, minis saucisses, et petite assiette de zaalouk) facturé tout de meme 330 dh !!!
The stay was amazing. Driss and Naima the owners, Hassan and Hadija the staff made our stay superb. We had many interesting and insightful conversations, Hadija made excellent dinners, Si Driss took us to travel around the town - we were extremely lucky to choose Malabata guesthouse, and we feel we've made friends for life.
A beautiful, traditionally decorated building with large, comfortable rooms. Our hosts, Driss and Naema, made us very welcome and could not do enough for us. After meeting us at the port, Driss gave us tea and helped us plan our itinerary with no pressure. We had an idea of where we wanted to go so he made his driver, Hassan, available to us which saved us worrying about taxis. He also arranged a private tour to Chef Chaouen for us. Breakfast was a wide selection of breads and traditional Moroccan pastries and we were invited to request anything else we wanted, like fruit. Although there is no restaurant nearby, Naema cooked a wonderful, traditional dinner for us, at a very reasonable cost. Although this location is a little far from the Medina and city centre, it is a pleasant 45min walk along the new promenade or their driver can take you there in 10 minutes for less than the cost of a taxi. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when returning to Tangier.
