Four decades of marketing speech, bring about an increasing popularity of that what is not branded, not streamlined, or is not the end product developed by Guesthouse Brighton marketing departments.
For the tourist industry in Morocco, authenticity is among the most new mantra. Of all guesthouses in Morocco, plus they run into the thousands, few will undoubtedly be those that do not market themselves as being authentic.
It goes without saying: in many cases, that's marketing too.
If you are going to travel to Morocco and so are thinking about a stay in a riad guesthouse, and when you are an initial timer at that, than you can relax right now. The overwhelming most riad guesthouses are well managed, clean, with friendly staff, and the proper details that will cause you to leave Morocco with fond memories.
Just about any "riad" guesthouse will impress you.
So was I, the 1st time I ever visited such a guesthouse, now over a decade ago. It really is only with the years, and much more years, and more visits, and much more, that you start noticing there are only a few guesthouses that, nearly as good wine, keep lingering in mind, over all the others.
In all cases that's right because of that certain intrinsic quality: the authenticity.
The quality of an excellent guesthouse lies in just that, it's heart. How it is preserved, and what has been done with or to it.
It sometimes pains me, to see all of the hammering and reconstructions. The walls that are made thinner, to create just one room more. With as a result that the guesthouse must install air-conditioning. While a Morrocan house is a piece of excellence right since it does not need such installations. It was created in such a way to keep heat out in summer and the cold in winter; nowadays you would call that "intelligent housing".
With climate change and the popularity of sustainable solutions, it will become the future again. But in the mean time many houses, especially those targeting an up-scale market, continue with demolitions that are not necessary.
It is just a competitive market. The medina of Marrakech alone boasts no less than 800 guesthouses. The competition is fierce. Sometimes managers subdue to the demands of travel companies, such as if you install a swimming pool, we shall send you clients.
Obviously, installing a swimming pool in a riad means it'll no longer be a riad. Such amenities go right against the heart and value of this old lady, that's so unique right due to her personality and wrinkles.
Not even to say those guesthouses that are more Disney world, or "Arabia for tourists" than authentic. As a tourist you are absolutely in the proper to ask for the very best. Fake orientalism however isn't the best, not when talking about a Moroccan guesthouse. When this happens the true qualities to look for will be the experience in genuine hospitality, the preservation of this old mosaics, the play of sunlight and shadow.
A truly genuine guesthouse, is an experience in itself. It generally does not have to be wrapped up in shiny paper. For several that shine will hide just the most magnificent colours. They might be subtle, they might be faded, but as any lover of good wine will say: a good wine is very difficult to make, but you will never forget its taste.
