Dar KamalChaoui

Nice room Great food Excellent hospitality

What a wonderful place to stay! Kamal and Jalila are truly amazing and made us feel very welcome. Kamal is a fount of local knowledge and very personable and passionate about his local community. He gave us excellent walking suggestions and the most interesting of guided tours! Jalila cooked absolutely delicious food - generous feasts each day. The room was beautiful in itself: comfortable and artistic. This was the highlight of our holiday. Thank you to Kamal and Jalila!

We spent 2 lovely nights with Kamar and Jalila. Kamal helped us greatly with getting some essential shoe repair organised, showing us around Bhalil at the same time. The first evening we enjoyed a superb 3 course meal, prepared by Jalila, who also provided us with delicious breakfast on both days. While we were there we were also introduced to artist-in-residence Achim from Switzerland, working on a street art project in Bhalil, initiated by Kamal. If you are looking for a standard, run of the mill hotel, this is not the place for you. But if you want something different and personal, you will surely feel at home with Kamal and Jalila!

Breakfast, hospitality Kamal and Jalila. Also the nearest village Sefrou surprised us with the synagoge and the great athmosphere on the market. Also next to Kamal's house you have to visit Ali Baba's cave with great paintings !! The house is located in in a village together with over 500 cave houses. On the roof top terras we had a great breakfast each morning with view towards Fez. On Thursday we went to the nearest village Sefrou and visited the village as well as the market, the atmosphere was friendly and hospitable. Across the Synagogue we had chicken, next to great food the person who served us spoke very good German. Kamal can tell you a lot more of Sefrou, this village existed even before Fez. When we come back to Fez we definitely would love to stay with Kamal and his wife Jalila. Thanks for this great memory.

A beautiful guesthouse in a very scenic small town. The views from our room and the terrace were just stunning. The breakfast was easily the best we've had in Morocco.

One night wasn't enough. We wish we'd had 2.

Great location, stunning view by the terrace. delicious breakfast. Friendly and really knowledgeable host Kamal. He gave us lots of useful and practical info on how to travel in Morocco. Kamal is a proper city insider and knows a lot about Moroccan culture and history and thanks to his experiences abroad he possesses great communication skills. We are really grateful for all the info and support he gave us!

The prices for excursions and walking tours with Kamal were way too expensive for Morocco. I am sure they they would have been really fascinating and insightful. It’s a pity!

Dar Kamal Chaoui is a fantastic opportunity to get away from the main tourist trail in Morocco and see an authentic town not far from Fez. Kamal is a brilliant communicator in English and French, and after a long career in Europe he is passionate about showing visitors a real Moroccan community and improving the lives of the local people. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated with local crafts, and you can relax with the family, but also be alone if you want to be. I went with Kamal on a challenging but incredible hike over the Kandar mountains behind Bhalil. Thank you Kamal!

Bhalil is only a small town, so make sure to check with Kamal how to get there. It's best to ask him to pick you up from Fez as if you're new to Morocco and don't speak Darija, you may have difficulty getting there. Also, be aware credit cards are not commonly used in Morocco so be ready to have cash (there's an ATM nearby if you need it).

We lived one of the best experiences ever with Kamal and Jalila We had a delicious dinner, the house is wonderful and Bhalil is magical We had dinner together and laughed a lot! We hope to see them again very soon And we can't wait to visit Bhalil again to do more of the fantastic tours and excursions with Kamal Un abbraccio da Federica e Chicchi

I found this village and this B&B from a Youtuber video and it exceeded my expectation. Kamal and his wife Jalila gave us an thorough introduction about culture, history and customs about this region. Jalila's cooking is one of the best meal I ever had in Morocco. We shared the guest house with a few very interesting guests. Highly recommended if you decided to experience the not so "touristy" side of Morocco.

Nothing

Everything! The food, the hospitality, the rooms were all incredible.
