At Riad Dar Saad, we are committed to offering a warm, authentic, and transparent experience to every guest who walks through our doors. However, in recent months, we have unfortunately encountered several situations where travelers arrived at our riad believing they had a confirmed reservation, only to discover that their booking had been made at a completely different property, often of a lower category.
❌ The problem: False or misleading bookings
We have identified a common pattern in all these cases: the reservations were made through unauthorized third-party platforms, including:
- Stockotels
- Evolution Travel
- Iciglo
- And others
These entities often present professional-looking itineraries that include photos, addresses, and detailed descriptions of Riad Dar Saad. At first glance, everything may appear legitimate.
However, the contact information is often missing, replaced, or redirected through generic emails and phone numbers not associated with our riad.
As a result, guests believe their reservation is confirmed at Riad Dar Saad, but no booking has ever been made in our system.
Worse still, these agencies have never contacted us to check availability or confirm any details.
If you ever have doubts, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly before making a payment.
🔍 How to recognize an unreliable agency and book safely at Riad Dar Saad
To avoid confusion or fraudulent bookings, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of an unreliable agency.
Here’s what to look out for:
- The agency uses a free or generic email address (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail)
- There is no professional website or the site lacks clear contact details
- The exact name of the accommodation is missing or vague in the confirmation
- They don’t reply to questions or messages in a timely and professional way
- They cannot be found on trusted platforms such as Google, TripAdvisor, or Trustpilot
In short, if a company is difficult to verify online or doesn’t clearly connect you to the property, it’s best to avoid it. Trustworthy agencies will always provide clear, direct, and transparent communication.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make sure my booking is valid?
You can contact us directly by email or WhatsApp to confirm your reservation at any time. If the booking was not made on our official site, it’s best to double-check.
What if my confirmation doesn’t show the riad’s official contact details?
That’s a red flag. A legitimate booking should include a verifiable email, phone number, and the exact name of Riad Dar Saad – Hammam & Spa
Can I get scammed even with a nice-looking itinerary?
Unfortunately, yes. Some fraudulent agencies create beautiful documents with our photos and address, but without ever making the real reservation.
