Hard to find

Amazing views and great staff

Great view on the valley! Super friendly owner and our kids love all the cute kittens there.

This place is a traditional house in the middle of mountains. we visited at the end of October and it gets cold (around 8-10’) at night which is lovely. place is only 9km drive from Ait ben haddu. Mohammad and his wife were generous. They offered us Tea and also prepared dinner for us. we paid for the dinner. The beef meatball Tigine was one of the best we tried in Morocco during our trip. Its a must if u visit them. The rooms were clean as well. They provided us with towel and sheets. Breakfast was good as well for the price we paid. So overall great experience.

Everything was great. They have 4-5 cats in the house. They are friendly. But if you are allergic or afraid of cats, you may have to request the owner to move them away. Internet was a bit slow. It works but slow.

Not sure how many rooms they have. I think 2 in the main building and 2 larger ones in another building. (Could be more). We stayed in one of the larger ones with a view towards the mountains. 2 single beds. 1 double. Bathroom included. Clean sheet. Soap available. Breakfast on the terrace. A great spot for one night and they are said to serve delicious local dinners (which we haven’t tried). Very kind owner and the cheapest stay in the area - so it attracts overlanders who are looking for a proper bed now and then. Water pressure was good. Wifi sufficient for email and social media.

According to Booking.com the place is located much closer to Ait Benhaddou - it’s actually another 10 min drive from the location tag. That turned out to be an advantage as it was quiet and more remote. Missed toilet paper (but also didn’t ask). Pool was covered (but didn’t want to swim). An easy going cheap stay with good atmosphere.

The place is very nice. The owner is a very friendly guy. He tries to do the best for his hosts. He put at your own disposal his and his family spaces. You can breath a very familiar atmosphere. The kids around, the kitchen is open for everyone, you can enjoy the swimming pool. If you're lucky you can meet other adventure travellers and talk with them in a very cool environment. Good rooms, wifi present and nice view from the house terrace. Excellent traditional dinner and amazing plenty breakfast. I also saw how the women prepare the bread. If you pass by there, stop at Salwa! You'll get a very typical and authentic experience.

They were extremely hospitable, a very nice family, the rooms are extremely clean and spacious, and they cook amazing local food, you can count on them to help you in any way they can, both with local information, as well as to make your stay more comfortable. As well as they offer many benefits if you help them around the house or with the kids, such as free meals and tours. Good for student budget.

the Hotel is in a lovely Little town about 10min by car from Ait ben haddou. there is a big parking Space and the view is spectacular. we slept in a big room with AC, it’s clean and there is towels too if you like. there is a little shop right above the hotel. they cook very nice food. the family is very attentive and super lovely. around is some amazing hikes and we met some very nice other travelers.

Nice staff, they where kind!

when we arrived in our room there was poop left in the toilet, also there was a hole in the bathroom that should have been a window but it was open. There where no clean sheets, and the next day I had itches all over my body.
