- "Breakfast was a real treat every single morning, served on the terrace, out of the sun. A sweet and sour touch, starting with a fruit bowl and some fresh orange juice, a coffee that tasted familiar yet different. To end with a traditional Moroccan dish. Apart from the superb food, the presence of the animals was soothing and fun. Feeding the turtles, Moona's mood swings and Cao's happiness, a joy to watch. Yves and Carina are excellent hosts with a big heart and many life stories. Their beautiful garden is well taken care of and offers some cool hangouts. Highly recommended if you want out of the buzz of the sometimes overwhelming Medina, but close enough to drive there if needed."

- "10 out of 10! We loved the authentic hospitality, from the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout our stay. We were blown away by the culinary expertise of their talented chef. Highly recommended!" - "Dont look any further. You shouldn't miss out on this place. After seen 10+ different hotels throughout Marokko we found Riad Yanitri. What a hidden gem!!! Ran by a young couple who only opened this place a month ago. Very friendly & fun people, beautiful styled rooms, eye for detail. The man knows all about cocktails and wines, the lady about styling and good food. They have a fantastic chef and here we enjoyed the best breakfast in Marokko (for example the perfect Berber crêpe and Berber eggs). There are games lying around. We and our 9 weeks old baby were perfectly taken care of. We will certainly come back."

- "One of the best accommodations worldwide. Very nice hosts, beautiful decor with attention to detail and a fantastic breakfast. Also very well located for exploring Essaouira and the surrounding area. We also slept one night in Essaouira, where the humidity is very high, so your clothes get clammy. The accommodation is perfect to avoid this downside of the city, and there is plenty of free parking available." - "We loved our stay here! We spent 10days over the Christmas period, and really enjoy how peaceful it was staying at Kasba Bonheur. Emma & Gilles are truly incredible hosts, and the whole staff was friendly and always willing to help. If you are into surfing, Gilles can give you lots of tips of where to go to find the best waves 🌊 The food is likely one of the best you can find around Essaouira, so totally recommend eating here. I would recommend hiring a car, as the hotel is slightly out of Essaouira town. We booked one via the hotel, and the whole operation was quite straightforward. Emma arranged it for us! 🌟Less stressful than hiring one at the airport, although you will have less choice on what car you will be given. Overall it was great and if we go back to Essaouira we'd definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the amazing staff! Sending love, Ilaria, Tom & Arthur"
