Guest Reviews
- Shashank (9/5): A beautiful kasbah with an incredible location — the best place to stay in Aït Ben Haddou. - Stunning property with an unbeatable location right by the ksar. Beautiful design, warm staff, and an authentic atmosphere that made it one of our favourite stays of the trip. The food could be better — it didn't quite match the quality of the rest of the experience.
- Daiva (10/5): Pukus Kasbach su žavia Maroko atmosfera - Puikus Kasbach viešbutis netoli Ait Ben Hadou. Keliaudami po Maroką,, nakvojame jame jau antrą kartą dėl iškirtinės atmosferos ir jaukumo. Kambariai įrengti tradiciniu stiliumi, vidiniame kieme yra nedidelis baseinas. Restorane tiekiami skanūs pusryčiai, o taip pat čia valgėme ir vakarienę. Ypatingai smagu užlipti į viršutines terasas, iš kurių matosi kalnų vaizdai, saulėtekis ir saulėlydis. Rekomenduoju šį viešbutį nakvynei, o ryte bus ptogu apžiūrėti Ait Ben Hadou kompleksą.
- Laura (9/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft und sehr gastfreundlich - Sehr schöne Unterkunft und wahnsinnig freundliches Personal. Super Frühstück und gut gelegen, kurz vor Ait Ben Haddou Zufahrt etwas abenteuerlich, aber geht :)
- Marc (9/5): - Geräumige saubere Zimmer. Ruhige Lage außerhalb des Touristenrummels in Ait Ben Haddou. Chilliger Pool und Dachterrasse. Kleiner Spa-Bereich mit sehr guter Massage und Hammam. -
- Silvia (10/5): - Zimmer waren sehr sauber, freundliches Personal und top Frühstück.
- Julian (7/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt ca. 10 Autominuten von Ait-Ben Haddou entfernt. Dort ist sonst eigentlich nichts. Wir sind etwas später angereist bzw. ist der Check-in scheinbar nur bis 9 oder 10 möglich. Die Unterkunft war eine der teureren auf unserer Rundreise. Die Erwartungen hat sie damit nicht ganz erfüllt. Die Küche am Abend war schon fast kalt, und die Tajine hat leider absolut nach nichts geschmeckt. Der kleine Pool war am Vormittag geschlossen und das Personal hat sich nicht unbedingt überschlagen in Hilfsbereitschaft. Grundsätzlich kein Thema, aber da doch eine der vermeintlich "besseren" Unterkünfte etwas enttäuschend.
- Bernard (7/5): Très déçu ne vaut pas du tout la note de 9 - La situation Il a une note de 9 pas du tout justifié
ce n est pas une piscine la photo est vraiment trompeuse c est un bac pour tremper les pieds quand il n y a pas le plastique qui le recouvre !
La propreté des chambres est limite dans notre sdb il y avait une odeur de moisi qui donnait vraiment pas envie de prendre de douche
Nous avons fait d autres Riads moins cher au Maroc et beaucoup mieux !
Nous avons voulu faire un hamman à plusieurs c etait 200 dr par personne ! C est moins cher en France
Je ne recommande pas
- Ingo (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft in sehr schöner Lage mit sehr netten Personal. -
- Rani (8/5): - Mooi ingerichte en ruime kamer en super vriendelijk personeel. Een van onze duurdere verblijven in Marokko maar wel enigste waar we problemen hadden met water dat niet lang genoeg warm bleef. Het water spoot ook alle kanten op in de douche wegens gaatjes. Het eten was erg lekker maar ook aan duurdere kant.
- Ali (10/5): - Très beau riad avec un personnel attentionné et très reatif, mention spéciale au chef cuisinier, nous avons dîner 2 soirs et c'était vraiment très bon .
Une spéciale dédicace au propriétaire français,j'ai oublié son prénom Bernard il me semble qui était au petit soin avec nous.
Les chambres très spacieuses vu qu'ont étaient 3 dans chaque chambre.
A REFAIRE SANS HÉSITATION !!
- Francisco (10/5): -
- Michiel (9/5): - Prima locatie voor een nachtje voor bezoek aan Ben Haddou. Personeel erg vriendelijk, eten lekker en ontbijt goed Badkamer was wat klein
- Luca (8/5): - Il ristorante!
- Ingrid (9/5): -
- es seghyr (10/5): - J ai eu un coup de foudres pour cette endroit magnifique. La gentillesse du propriétaire, du personnel, on a eu droit a une soirée magnifique avec un groupe berbère du village, incroyable. On se sent en famille. Rien
- Samuel (9/5): - L'emplacement et le confort de la chambre. Le dîner était quelconque et nous avons été étonnés de ne pas pouvoir obtenir de recommandation sur les alentours.
- Euzet (10/5): Accueil et organisation hôtelière d'excellente qualité ! - Contexte très accueillant !
Très bon niveau hôtelier ! Rien à reprocher !
- FEDERICO (8/5): - La gentilezza e l'accoglienza del personale, la colazione abbondante e buonissima e la posizione.
- Cristina (8/5): - Muy limpio, huele muy bien, muy buena comida
- Mouhcine (10/5): - Todo muy bien
- Inge (10/5): Authentisch und gastfreundlich - Sauber, sehr ansprechende Architektur und Einrichtung!
- Leonie (10/5): Ein fantastisches Riad zum Wohlfühlen! - Alles war super!
Die Betten waren sehr bequem, das Zimmer riesig und das Bad top! Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich.
Das Riad selbst ist beeindruckend vom Bau. Die Lage ist nah am Ait Ben Haddou (7 Minuten).
Es gab kostenlose Parkplätze vor dem Riad.
Das Essen war ebenfalls gut. Fußläufig ist nichts zu finden.
Das Frühstück war gut. Es wurde auf Wunsch noch Essen nachgebracht.
- Cristina (9/5): - Muy amable el personal, la comida muy buena, es muy bonito el hotel. Muy contentas las amigas y yo
- Annick (9/5): Excellent séjour - Le peit déjeuner était très agréable, bien fourni. La chambre confortable, très bien décorée. Le lit était très confortable, ce qui est assez rare au Maroc. Nous avons apprécié l'amabilité du personnel.
- Gene B (10/5): -
- Manuele (10/5): - Everything, people, locotaion and food
- Sylvie (9/5): -
- DIEGO (10/5): Un lugar muy lindo en u entorno desértico. Muy bien. - Me gustó el lugar. La localización. La gente y la comida. Nos cambiaron la fecha de estadía según lo solicitamos. La verdad excelente Todo me gustó.
- William (10/5): Genial - Petit déjeuner, massage et personnel
- Barbara (10/5): Wonderful location, comfortable accommodation, and friendly staff and owner. - Breakfasts and dinners were great - the chef accommodated our dietary restrictions as best he could. Simply loved the location, quiet and in a berber village with a fortress nearby! Very close to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO Heritage site and Ouarzazate.
The room was large, beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds.
- Kjeld (5/5): Not a comfortable stay - The building itself looks beautiful and is situated just outside the small town. Which is nice to avoid the crowds. -the rooms do not have isolation in any kind. You will hear everything your neighbors do. And everything that happens outside. Earplugs is a must.
-the bed is very hard and too short (i'm 1.79m).
-there is limited parking space at the accommodation itself.
- Eleni (8/5): -
- Vasileios (7/5): - Clean and spatious room, the kasbah overall, easy parking, staff Breakfast, distance to Ait Ben Haddou, bad noise insulation, pricey
- Stephan (10/5): - Sehr schöne Kasbah, tolles Zimmer über zwei Etagen im Turm mit Aussicht, leckeres Essen und freundliche Gastgeber.
- Christoph (10/5): -
- Ylva (9/5): - Mycket fint! Underbar personal! Mycket bra middag och frukost. Vackra omgivningar. Underbara rum och bekväma sängar.
En mycket positiv upplevelse! Det enda negativa var ett besök i den närliggande souvenir-affären. Två i vår lilla grupp på 8 personer var marockanska berber. De var inte välkomna in i affären med oss andra och blev utkörda därifrån! Vi lämnade förstås genast butiken utan att köpa något. Då påstod ägaren att våra vänner ljög men allt var mycket klart och tydligt rasistiskt. Ett mycket obehagligt slut på en i övrigt väldigt fin upplevelse av platsen, hotellet och restaurangen.
- Amber (10/5): - We had a wonderful time. A very beautiful and quiet location close to Ait Ben Haddou. The staff was super friendly and the food delicious. Also a good place to relax for a while during your trip. Additionally, the people in the village were also very friendly.
- Julia (10/5): - Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer groß und sehr sauber. Sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen. Die Lage ist ideal um Aït Ben Haddou zu besichtigen. Die Kasbah La Cigogne liegt ein wenig versteckt. Alles war super!
- Sandra Paas (10/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Un posto da sogno - La struttura è davvero bellissima, una tipica Kasbah curata in ogni minimo dettaglio. Si trova a soli 5 minuti di distanza in auto da Ait-Ben-Haddou. Il personale è gentile e disponibile, la camera era ben arredata, pulita, ampia e spaziosa, oltre ad essere molto silenziosa. Abbiamo anche usufruito del servizio di ristorazione e devo dire che la cena è stata ottima, così come la colazione davvero abbondante.
- Alice (7/5): - Chambre agréable et bien équipée
Belle vue depuis les terrasses Dîner mauvais
Chambre sur cour bruyante (notamment à cause présence d'un groupe)
Salle de bain très sombre
- maya (10/5): -
- Lonneke (9/5): Super friendly great building comfy large room with great view and terrace - Lovely staff, extremely friendly ladies working in the kitchen. Spotless clean, comfy cosy rooms Nothing
- Julka Travel (10/5): Autentycznie piękne i komfortowe miejsce - Autentyczność miejsca zachwyca. Podobała się nam dbałość o szczegóły także w zakresie wystroju - wszystko rękodzieło marokańskie Wspaniała kuchnia. Przemiła obsługa. A przede wszystkim wyjątkowo czysto. Drobne udogodnienia jak chusteczki, herbata i czajnik w pokoju które dają komfort. Bardzo wygodne łóżka i miła pościel. Zdecydowanie lepiej jak w wielu europejskich hotelach 3*. Z przyjemnością wrócimy. Pozdrawiamy kucharza i miła panią z recepcji
- alexander (10/5): - Accoglienza posizione camera cena e colazione.
- Mark (10/5): Best place we stayed everyone loved the staff - We chose this hotel for the Location and it was perfect There’s nothing not to like
- Emilio (9/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Struttura molto accogliente pulita e con personale molto gentile e disponibile.
- Khatuna (10/5): - Location, room, vibes, overall experience. We arrived after the sunset and the staff checked on us, whether or not we were still going and greeted us wiith smile when we arrived. We will definately come back. Breakfast was nice but some fruit and vegetable addition would have been perfect.
- Jacques (10/5): - Équipe sympathique.
Établissement bien équipé et très propre.
Bien situé à côté de Aït Ben Haddou. Rien à signaler.
- Matteo (10/5): - Located in practically nowhere, but a short car ride to Ait Ben Haddou, this place had an astonishing room!
- Erwin (8/5): - Das Abendessen und Frühstück war sehr gut. Wir konnten das Schwimmbad leider nicht nutzen. Am Nachmittag wie auch am Tag danach, war es nicht zugänglich. Das war sehr schade, da wir bei der Buchung einen Unterkunft mit Schwimmbad gesucht haben.
- Tony (7/5): -
- Felix (8/5): Die Unterkunft ist toll gelegen. Eine schöne Alternative zu einer Übernachtung im sehr touristischen Aït-Bern-Haddou. Wi - Tolle Lage, außergewöhnliche Unterkunft in Lehmstadt, schönes Zimmer, tolle Dachterasse -
- Carolin (9/5): -
- Dani (10/5): - Staff very friendly, location quiet and clean Nothing
- Dmitrij (9/5): - Ein gut sanierter Kasbah. Unser Zimmer war nicht besonders groß, aber modern und stylish ausgestattet. Eigener Parkplatz. Leckeres Frühstück. Live Musik währen des Abendessens. Guter Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung des Aït-Ben-Haddou. Enge und nicht sofort erkennbare Zufahrt. Live Musik im Innenhof direkt unter unserem Fenster gut hörbar im Zimmer (zum Glück nicht allzu lange).
- CLAUDIA OPDENKELDER (10/5): Gorgeous place!! - What a gorgeous space!! We loved everything about it. The room was massive, and we had two floors!! The beautiful decor, huge balcony terrace, perfect lighting in every space, very comfy beds, stunning view from the balcony, amazing accommodating staff... I had a much needed 1 hr massage at the location as well which was so good. The dinner was DELICIOUS, loved every bite. Location was good, we had a long drive and long day so just wanted to stay put, it was great for that. Absolutely silent at night, amazing sleep. WiFi worked flawlessly. Oh and we even got a beautiful sunset view!! Only one thing, the water pressure was very low in the shower, I couldn't really get it to work very well, but, honestly it was not make or break. Everything else was so good, I didn't even give it a second thought.
- Roberto (8/5): - La posizione tranquilla, vicino a punti di interesse. Aver dovuto protestare per ottenere una stanza conforme a quella che avevo prenotato e non una molto più piccola.
La cena piuttosto scadente.
- olivia (9/5): Es war wunderbar -
- Dani (9/5): - Friendliness of the staff.
Amazing breakfast.
- Francois (9/5): Court séjour au calme à proximité d'Ait Ben Haddou - Court séjour en famille fort agréable. Le personnel était serviable et aimable et la chambre très propre et joliment décorée. Situation parfaite à proximité d'Ait Ben Haddou, au calme. Douche un peu capricieuse avec un très faible débit. Mais c'est anecdotique.
- Corinna (9/5): Good for a one night stop close to Ait Ben Haddou - The room was fantastic. It was newly furnished and had modern interior. Location is outside of the town of Ait Ben Haddou and the main tourist attractions but is just a short drive away. The Kasbah next to the hotel can be visited and is stunning. Dinner was overpriced and already cold despite us arriving earlier than the agreed time.
- Claudio (8/5): Bien, recomendable. - Demasiadas moscas en el desayuno.
- Jasmien (10/5): Amazing, best hotel we had in Marokko! - The staff was incredibly friendly, and the pool was fantastic. There’s also the option to enjoy a hammam and/or massage—I tried a 30-minute massage, and it was wonderful. Our room was beautiful with a stunning balcony view, and the food was both delicious and plentiful. Overall, everything was just perfect!
The location is ideal for visiting Aït Ben Haddou and soaking in the beautiful surroundings. Finding the place at first can be a little tricky, but once you arrive, you’ll discover yourself right in the heart of a charming little town.
- Willem (10/5): Een pareltje waar je je meteen thuis voelt - Nooit gedacht dat er zich in dit kleine dorpje zo’n prachtige kasbah zou verbergen. Van zodra je binnenkomt: wauw! Alles is met enorm veel smaak ingericht, modern maar tegelijk sfeervol traditioneel. De kamers zijn ontzettend mooi. Het zwembadje en de rust maken het helemaal af. De ontvangst was supervriendelijk, we hebben er heerlijk gegeten en genoten van de gastvrijheid. Alles gebeurt met de glimlach. Een absolute aanrader! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
- Pim (9/5): Fijn verblijf - Ligging en zwembad
- Daniela (8/5): -
- Anne-Laurence (9/5): Un très joli endroit - Joli Kasbah avec une piscine très agréable.
Les chambres sont grandes et joliment décorées.
Le petit-déjeuner est magnifique
Le personnel est vraiment charmant.
- Eveline (7/5): -
- Nniks (8/5): Хорошее место в горах Атласа - Уютное место, есть бассейн, есть ресторан, есть местное вино, есть парковка для машины. Кормят вкусно, В номере есть все, что необходимо. Очень приветливый персонал. Кондиционер в номере был слабоват - номер охладился ближе к ночи.
- Angelica (9/5): A kasbah to enjoy, comfortably refurbished for a relaxing stay - This kasbah is conveniently close to Ait Ben Haddou if you go there by car, offer a really nice pool and cozy rooms. The food is very good; we particularly liked the bereber omelette and the awesome breakfast served by smiling and kind people. To treat yourself while at the same time enjoying a fantastic, historic endroite.
Tip: do not miss the antiques shop run by Mohammed right in front of the hotel
- Bryan (10/5): Excellent hotel and well worth a visit - Beautiful property very well located. Staff were extremely helpful. Nothing
- Alexandra (7/5): Good - Property was located in a nice little town about 5mins drive from the tourist attractions. Door was very difficult to open and close each time we got to our room. Staff were not very attentive
- Atlas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marta (9/5): Superb -
- Ottavia (9/5): Superb - The room was amazing with a beautiful terrace on a kasbah. Good massage. And a short walk to visit a garden and kasbah The dinner was not very special same as the breakfast.
- Fatima (10/5): Relaxed, warm and friendly - excellent stay! - The staff is what really makes this place - We will miss them! The Kasbah is located in a typical village, beautifully decorated throughout, spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds with a great restaurant onsite with freshly prepared Moroccan dishes which we ate at for lunch and dinner - the food was fantastic. Great breakfast with a selection of homemade breads, pancakes jams, honey, yogurt and freshly squeezed orange juice. There is a small pool with a few sunbeds. A lovely, unpretentious place to completely unwind and relax for a few days. Good value for money and we loved it! The village doesn't have any amenities - only a little shop that had random opening hours so do stock up before you arrive. You will need a car or rely on the good taxi service of the hotel which is what we did. Also book activities before you arrive as there is not much information at the hotel. We booked the fantastic Quad Sky Tours for quad biking and a day trip with a local guy based at the Riad next door. Do your research before you come.
- Marcel (9/5): Superb - Amazing friendly staff and a very comfy bed.
- Alejandro (8/5): Very good - They did great work adapting the breakfast for a vegan diet. Beds could be more comfortable
- Henry (8/5): A great and really lovely place to stay for a night. - Lovely oasis a short walk from the Riad. Best massage. Wines and beer available at Riad. Delicious food for dinner and breakfast.
- Claudia (10/5): Lovely spot, friendly staff and away from the crowds. - Very friendly and kind staff, who made us really welcome. Lovely courtyard and big rooms with plenty of space. The dinner and breakfast were both delicious too. Rooms are large and stylishly decorated. Arrive early and explore the ruined Kasbah which is only 100m away. Well worth the 15dhm entry fee.
After we left we realised we’d left pair of glasses behind and they kindly arranged for them to be drop off in Ait Benhaddou. This was a big help. All in all I’d really recommend this quiet and pretty spot away from the crowds of Ait Benhaddou. The massage was nice, but I wanted more of a sports massage. It just didn’t quite hit the spot for me. But I think if you wanted a relaxing massage it would be lovely.
- Natalia (9/5): Certainly a recommendation! - We booked the room for 2 nights including the New Year’s Eve and after a long day of travel had a very warm welcome and a cozy dinner accompanied by local musicians. Just next to the Kasbah is a huge historic ruin of a Kasbah of El Glaoui and an oasis, which makes the experience of staying there even more powerful.
- Zarin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francisco (6/5): Pleasant -
- Carolyn (10/5): Lovely experience beyond our expectations. - Perfectly located for Ben Haddou and exploring the Atlas Mountains (if you have a car). The staff in particular were excellent - generous and kind and very helpful. The room was very comfortable. Food was excellent - both dinner and breakfast. Very fresh, tasty and local flavours. You choose your menu when you arrive so the food can be freshly prepared. We also enjoyed a massage in the guest house as an unexpected treat. Cannot recommend this gem of a place enough. It was chilly in December when we visited but bring warm clothes so you can stargaze from the roof terraces and explore the surrounding village. Villagers were very kind and for a small amount of money showed us the ruined fortress and orchards and riverside far from the crush of tourists elsewhere. Worth getting up before dawn to see Ben Haddou as the sun rises. We took the road through Telouet on our way back to Marrakesh and it was fascinating and beautiful. Nothing - just bring warm clothes in winter. You can use the Air Conditioning in the room as a heater.
- Claudio (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay in this Kasbah. The staff has been great and made us feel at home. The thing that we loved absolutely was dinner cheered up by the music of local people. We danced with them and spend a great night. Thank u for your service
- Lili (10/5): Quiet area, big room and delicious hot breakfast - Quiet area, with a big, comfortable bed. It’s close to food areas, and offers hot breakfast and fresh-squeezed orange juice every morning None
- Lilliana (10/5): Highly recommend this place, we had a great experience - Great vibes, very friendly stuff Nothing
- Tencovici (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. The staff is extremely kind and very helpful. The location also has a beautiful terrace. At the restaurant we could order alcoholic drinks. The breakfast was good. The hotel also has a spa, but unfortunately due to the fact that we did not have much time, we could not enjoy it.
- Jill (10/5): I will return to this place...and pray that they get an espresso machine. - Gorgeous...wonderful views...lovely people. Breakfast is very basic and no espresso...which is a deal breaker for me.
- Christopher (8/5): Very good -
- Saša (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect.
- Grace (8/5): A great place to explore a fascinating area. - The position was wonderful amongst small village close to Ait Ben Haddou. The old Kasbah fascinating. Lunch at little cafe next door with Abdul the best we’ve had in Morocco! The plumbing a little dodgy, and the swimming pool tiny and rather deceptive in photographs.
- Estefania (9/5): Superb -
- Toudaoui (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay .
Lovely people
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - The best Riad we stayed in on our tour of Morocco. The facilities were great and staff brilliant. Wonderful dinner by a great in-house chef. Nothing it was lovely
- Marigold (10/5): Absolutely incredible stay, made special by the staff and amazing decor - We were first greeted by the amazing staff who asked us when we would like our dinner made and then showed us to our room. The room was beautifully designed and we had a private balcony area with an amazing view, it was incredible! Dinner was amazing and they asked when we’d like our breakfast made for the next morning. They set up the table just for our group every time and the food was amazing! This place is perfect and the staff made our time very special. The room didn’t get very cool at night, but it was 100 degree weather.
- Marie (9/5): Superb - Super welcoming staff!
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
