Dar Yaya

I loved my stay in Dar Yaya. Everything was clean, cozy, and the matress so comfortable, the owners are very friendly and helpful as well. Location is perfect, a stone’s throw from the desert. I’ll come back in my next trip to Morocco.

The space and amenities were minimalist but met all of my needs and made me feel at home. WiFi, an open kitchen if I wanted to make food for myself, etc. It was a welcome summer relief to arrive at an air-conditioned room after traveling 10 hours from Marrakech. Yaya is an excellent host. Yaya’s brother served as an excellent guide for a Sahara desert excursion and prepared the best chicken tajine I had in my three weeks in Morocco. This is a great place that is only made better by its affordability and flexibility.

The water temperature for the shower would sometimes move between hot and cold.

We had an unforgettable stay at Dar Yaya in Mhamid El Ghizlan. The house is traditional but the quality of the rooms is amazing – we slept so deeply and comfortably. Yaya is also a fantastic cook; the food was delicious and full of local flavors. But the highlight of our stay was the Sahara trip he organized for us – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended! 🏜️🐪🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️

There is no place more relaxing and homy to me than Dar Yayas :) The rooms and courtyard are wonderful, tea, Tajine, breakfast are perfect. I'm repeating myself, I wrote another review for a different stay here, but I simply like to come back to Dar Yaya!

We were welcomed so warmly, with tea and snacks, were able to just arrive and relax. I really, really recommend coming here. I love everything about staying at Yaya's Guesthouse. The rooms, the courtyard, the living area and kitchen, all the wonderful carpets and decorations - just the general feeling one gets, of being at home. Yaya and his family and friends are the most wonderful hosts, I always choose to come back and then regret not having spent more time there. Also: there is no better breakfast in Morocco, because Yaya's omelette has not yet found its match and the bread from M'Hamids bakery is perfection. Just come and see for yourself!

Polite, helpful and friendly host. The place is amazing, rooted in Berber culture. I was traveling alone. While I was hiking through the desert for four days, they stored my belongings that I didn't need on the trail. Thanks!

Yaya is an incredible host. He was very welcoming and always has the kettle on for tea. He went above and beyond for us. He accommodated our change of booking arrangement. He provided great advice and information. He even got up at 5.30am, prepared breakfast and dropped us to the bus station whenwewereleaving. The Riad is so chilled out. We had freedom to come and go and the use of the kitchen, living room and terrace. The riad is decorated beautifully inside and on the terrace. It is very clean and comfortable and situated in a really quiet village which is literally at the gates of the desert. The WiFi is excellent. Yaya is very flexible with everything and a very hospitable, welcoming and overall good man. He is also very helpful in arranging trips to the desert by 4x4 and touring. We would love to return in the future.

Everything was great.
