Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In short, it was a truly enchanting experience. The rooms are beautifully crafted, adorned with art at every turn—it's clear the owner has a passion for collecting. If I find myself in Essaouira again, I won’t hesitate to choose this place for my stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Emotion, it was everything we had hoped, small, intimate and quiet.

The owners Philippe and Gisele clearly love their home and rightly so, their attention to detail is everywhere.

It's a charming place, in a wonderful central location, close to everything.

Rooms, especially the Suites are large and well appointed, with huge comfortable beds and lovely little touches, including seating outside the room, which we loved, especially to hear the sea and watch the tuneful little birds fly in and out to feed their young.

The staff are ever so friendly and attentive.

Breakfast is one of the best we have had in a riad - the yogurt is divine.

Thank you Philippe and Gisele for a lovely, relaxing 4 night stay.

A delightful riad with five rooms round a covered patio courtyard, with a nice roof terrace. Conveniently close to main street of the medina and less than ten mins walk from Bus terminal from Marrakech. Riad is light and airy with interesting art works and plenty of lounging areas.

We were welcomed on 30 Dec with lovely cake and mint tea by one of the two charming ladies who do the catering and housekeeping. Breakfasts are copious and excellent quality, served at settees in the lounge area. The resident owner Philippe is courteous, attentive and a source of good advice. The riad had been decorated nicely for Christmas festivities, and on New Year's Eve he hosted a drinks and canapes reception for guests which made for a really special stay.

Magnificent riad very well located where everything is perfect and tastefully decorated. The entire staff is attentive, smiling and kind. The owner Philippe is a person who shares his love and knowledge of Morocco with us. Beautiful encounter. It was a pleasure to stay there. Everything is planned to provide the customer with comfort and serenity. Address that I highly recommend.

Riad very well located, in the heart of the medina while being quiet.
Very nice decoration, from the entrance to the roof terrace.
Carefully decorated room, very good bedding.
Very complete homemade breakfast (jams, pastries, eggs, vegetables, fruit salads, etc.), with local sweets renewed every day, served by efficient and very friendly staff.
To all this, you add the very warm welcome from the owners Gisèle and Philippe, who provide very good advice for accessing the right addresses, whether cultural, sporting, wellness or catering visits.
The perfect combo of the perfect stay!

Upon entering the riad we were welcomed by a heavenly smell. They took care to use beautiful fragrances in every part of the riad.

The room was beautiful and tastefully decorated. There were petals from fresh roses in the bathroom every day.

The breakfast was prepared with so much care. They served fresh local produce. There was so much food every morning I felt guilty not being able to finish everything.

Riad Emotion Boutique Hotel is an absolute gem and my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful stay. The rooms are beautiful and the beds very comfortable. The staff is so so warm and welcoming and ready to help. The breakfast is absolutely delicious - particularly the orange blossom yogurt!! YUM! And the common spaces are exquisite! It was such a wonderful place to call home while we were exploring such a beautiful city and located right at the heart of the Medina it was so central located that it made it great particularly after a night of listening to beautiful music on a roof top terrace - our beds were always only a few blocks away. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful riad in the heart of the Medina. Phillipe and Giselle are wonderful hosts, and their staff are very attentive and kind. The interior design is stunning and everything has been thought of. Lovely touches such as rose petals scattered. When we left they gave us snacks for the journey and some very high quality Argan oil.
Highly recommended

Centrally located in the medina, the action begins the moment you walk outside...but inside it is quiet. The rooftop patio is delightful. Breakfasts are excellent, and Emotion is spotlessly clean. The bed was particularly comfortable. This was a great stay. Philippe is a gracious and efficient host..he sorted our midnight return to the Marrakech airport moments after we arrived.
