We loved our visit to Bhalil and stay with Kamal and Jalila. They are such lovely, genuine people. We took the village tour with Kamal, he is so passionate about Bhalil and it's culture and traditions, and brings a great energy, which makes it much more meaningful than a usual sightseeing tour. We were also very thankful to the people who allowed us to visit their homes, who were very friendly and welcoming. If we had had more time, we would have loved to have spent more time there and done other tours too. We enjoyed a delicious dinner, as well as breakfast on the roof terrace, with a great view over Bhalil.

Nothing

Very well presented hotel and a very friendly family. The guest house was in an awesome location and the breakfast and the staff were amazing.

We booked a twin room as are two friends travelling, only to be told on arrival that there is no longer a twin room available at the property, despite choosing it having seen the pictures on booking.com We were given one fantastic double room, but the second room we were given did not have a toilet or shower ensuite and was not furnished other than having a bed.

A beautiful house in the historic town of Bhalil. The hosts, Kamal and Jalila are the kindest, friendliest people. Jalila's cooking is excellent, every night we had dinner with the family and it was always delicious, with lively conversations too. Breakfast on the roof terrace was lovely, great views across the town and the hills. Lots to see in the town; cave houses, local artists and craft shops and some local cafes and restaurants too. Some local walks, and the nearby town of Sefrou to explore. Not far from the Cedar forest national parks too. Only 20 mins from Fez.

Nothing like homemade breakfast food. Made with a smile. This place epitomized the personal guest house experience.

Nothing, one can’t improve on perfection. The location requires walking up some stairs but that’s because the town is quite old.

A proper homestay experience with Kamal and Jalila, both of whom are experts at hosting. Highly recommend this unique stay

Staying with Kamal, Jalila and their daughter was the best experience of my month-long trip. My husband, toddler and I drove to the mountains to stay with them, and our stay with them felt like being wrapped into the fold of a family. We joined them for local meetings, took a cooking class, toured the town, saw caves, and probably met more than 100 people. We'd stay out until late into the evenings as our son would play with the local children, say hi to the women's circles and greet people. We were completely immersed in everything that was happening in their lives, and we could not have felt more welcomed. We loved our stay so much, and we were so sad to leave. I really debated if it was worth journeying the extra distance with a toddler to stay with them...go! They are absolute gems, and you will create wonderful lifelong memories. Thank you all so much for your hospitality...until we meet again!

Great location, Kamal gave us several excellent tours and the food was fabulous

This is an ideal location if you do not want to stay in Fes. It is a quiet, hilltop town about 20 mins to the south. Kamal was away, but kept in close contact with us to make sure we could find the property. His wife, Jalila is a perfect host and an excellent cook - the 4 course meal was delicious and really worth having. We even wanted a recipe from her. Breakfast can be had on the terrace from where you look over the town and see Fes in the distance. A delightful stay.
