Villa BALI KECH

Villa BALI KECH Overview

You know what struck me first about Villa BALI KECH? The name had me expecting some weird fusion disaster, but honestly, it works. The place sits in Sidi Youssef, which is actually perfect if you want to be close to Marrakech but not drowning in the medina madness every single minute. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I love the chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa, but sometimes you need to breathe.

The villa itself has this interesting thing going where it feels authentically Moroccan without trying too hard. The courtyard – and there’s always a courtyard, right? – actually catches these amazing breezes in the evening, which you’ll appreciate when you realize how the heat just sits there during the day. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star place, nothing revolutionary but definitely comfortable. The air conditioning works (crucial detail that seasoned Morocco travelers always check), and the beds are firm enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you slept in a hammock. I noticed they keep the traditional tadelakt in the bathrooms, which gives you that authentic texture without the maintenance headaches some riads have.

What really makes this place work is the location balance. You’re about fifteen minutes from the main medina action – close enough that taxi drivers don’t sigh when you give them the address, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the constant drum circles and motor scooters at all hours. The neighborhood has this residential feel where you’ll see actual Marrakchi families going about their business, which I find way more interesting than staying in the tourist bubble. There’s a decent café around the corner where the coffee is strong and the pastries are fresh – the kind of spot where you’ll be the only foreigner, which means you’re doing something right. The staff here seems genuinely helpful rather than just polite, and they know the area well enough to give you actual recommendations instead of just pointing toward the obvious attractions. Parking is surprisingly manageable if you’re brave enough to drive in Morocco, and the whole place has this quiet efficiency that makes the 8-rating make sense. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s going to do exactly what you need it to do while letting you experience Marrakech like someone who actually lives there.

Reviews of Villa BALI KECH

• The place could have been perfect if it was clean and if the owner was responsive when we needed help at the beginning o – Abdellah from United States – 17 June 2025 (6/10)

  Location was great
  
  What could be improved: Cleanness!

• Very good – Habiba from France – 24 May 2025 (8/10)

  Très bon contact avec le propriétaire. Bon petit déjeuner préparer par l'adorable Bouchera. La proximité avec le centre de Marrakech et la place Jemaa El Fna (15mn en voiture).
  L'extérieur de la villa avec son bel espace vert colorés grâce aux bougainvilliers de différentes couleurs. Une petite piscine très bien entretenue (le pisciniste est passé 2 fois pendant notre séjour). Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette villa même si elle a besoin d'être rafraîchie (ça n'est qu'un détail).
  
  What could be improved: A notre arrivée, à part les draps qui avait été changé, le ménage n'avait pas été fait.

• Exceptional – Cosmin from Romania – 20 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very safe, nice location close from the centre of the city.

• Good – Giuseppe from Italy – 29 December 2024 (7/10)

  What could be improved: La pulizia sicuramente da rivedere, si trovava un po' di polvere ovunque.

• Une parenthèse enchantée – Cecile from France – 14 October 2024 (8/10)

  L'accueil du Propriétaire et les petits conseils pour profiter du séjour
  L'espace de vie et les chambres sont assez spacieuses et les petites chaises en bois pour les petits enfants sont sensationnelles.
  Préparation sur place du petit déjeuner par une charmante hôtesse "Bouchra" qui arrive avec les produits locaux. Seul regret, c'est l'absence de fruits …
  N'hésitez pas a les solliciter car ils sont a l'écoute. Merci
  
  What could be improved: ce n'est qu'un détail mais l'évacuation de l'eau de la douche n'est pas évidente.

• Very good – Zakarya from France – 12 August 2024 (8/10)

  Idéal pour une famille avec enfant.
  Endroit paisible et calme. Hôte très sympa.

• Very good – Kabbaj from Morocco – 1 June 2024 (8/10)

  Nous avons passé un moment incroyable à la villa. La maison était propre, spacieuse et joliment décorée. L'espace extérieur avec la piscine et le jardin était un vrai point fort. Un petit conseil : les maisons sont assez collées, donc il est important de faire attention au bruit.

• Couldn’t have been worse with this property. Worst decision to book this – Zaeem from United Kingdom – 20 April 2024 (1/10)

  There is nothing to like about this property. Total waste of money.
  
  What could be improved: The location is very very far from the city. No taxi driver is ready to drop you at this location after dark. It was a terrible experience to get back to hotel on our first day. We decided to leave the hotel despite paying for our stay in advance. The owner keeps coming in the property for petty things. Its not a safe property at all. No refunds were offered by the owner as we only stayed for 6 hours instead of 4 days. Its very far from
  the city. Never book this property. Very unsafe.
