- Bruno (10/5): -
- Stephan (7/5): Modern, nett, max für 1 Nacht - Blick zum Sonnenuntergang. Nettes Personal Keine Möbel oder Sitze auf Terrasse. Zi viele Gruppenreisende. Essen immer drinnen im Saal nicht auf Terrasse. Reception war eher hilflos bei Buchungsänderungen bzw es gab keine Antwort (alles läuft nur über die Zentrale in Arfoud)
- Frederico (9/5): TOP! A voltar -
- Lisa (8/5): - Heel proper hotel. Buffet was ook zeer lekker. Leuke plus is het verwarmde binnen zwembad.
- Alexandra (10/5): -

- Lecrombs (8/5): très bonne chaine d'hotel, propre, spacieux, organisés, 2 piscines, .. - les chambres sont spacieuses, très propres dans l'ensemble, organisés, hotel thématique, deux piscines en très bon état toutes les deux... vraiment bien a savoir en premier : Xaluca, c'est un chaine d'hotel, donc on est loin de l'expérience vraiment authentique, le buffet a beau faire 10 mètres de long on a du mal a trouver quelques chose de vraiment cuisiné avec amour. C'est un hotel fait pour brasser une quantité de touriste impressionante, et ils sont très forts pour ca! ils faut reconnaitre leur qualité, ce n'est sans doute juste pas mon choix le plus avisé que d'etre aller la bas!
- david (10/5): - L’accueil ,le parking,les services proposés
- Ken (10/5): Sfeervol en ontspannend verblijf - Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, grote propere en sfeervolle kamers.
Het verwarmd binnenzwembad was een grote plus! Alsook de mogelijkheid om aan te schuiven bij het buffet 's avonds.
Een echte aanrader!
- Tarik (8/5): Tres bon - Calme, personnel, emplacement, équipement sportif, chambres larges et confortables, la region, … Pouvoir démarrer les petits dej avant 7h peut etre un plus pour les randonneurs du matin.
Buffet : entrees et desserts de qualité. Plats principaux marocains corrects mais peuvent etre meilleurs.
Proposer un pain marocain fait maison au lieu des baguettes ordinaires permettra de mieux mettre en valeur l’ensemble des plats.
- Lori (10/5): -
- Bernhard (7/5): Schönes Hotel mit vielen Gästen - Gute Lage und großes Zimmer Abendessen nicht heiß
- luca (10/5): Tappa gruppo di bikers - Struttura molto curata e architettonicamente affascinante. Camere grandissime e pulitissime.
Cena e colazione a buffet ottime.
Bellissima spa e piscina scoperta con grande idromassaggio interno. Consigliatissimo
- Mathias (8/5): A luxurious, spacious hotel with stunning city views, extensive amenities, and attentive staff. - This was the most luxurious hotel we stayed at during our trip to Morocco. It’s a विशाल complex with countless rooms and a large number of staff. Everyone is kind and attentive, although the atmosphere feels less personal. By Moroccan standards, the hotel is very high-end and offers many special features you wouldn’t typically find in other accommodations. The view from the room and the large rooftop pool overlooking the city is truly breathtaking. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. While both the dinner buffet (around €30 per person) and breakfast offer a wide variety and look very appealing, the taste is more comparable to cafeteria-style dining and doesn’t match the quality of food we experienced in most smaller hotels. Additionally, the hotel shows some signs of age and could benefit from renovation in certain areas.
- Marilyn (8/5): - Room was great Location of room was noisy with people and carts going by late at night and early in the morning. Hammam was nice but felt short.
- Khadija (10/5): -
- Taroumite Tour (10/5): -
- Lucca (10/5): - Um dos melhores que já fiquei
- Leanna (10/5): -
- Martin (8/5): - This was our second time in the hotel. Rooms are a little bit more worn-out but the location, food and views from the pool are are amazing. The maintanace and cleaning should be improved. Equimoent is often worn-out and we found a cockroach in our room in the morning.
- Martine (8/5): Bel expérience avec réserve sur clientèle Groupe qui dérange - Qualité équipement , chambre très confortable, espace piscine Groupe clients nombreux et TRÈS BRUYANTS dans couloir à l arrivée et au départ qui réveillent tout le monde
- Miguel (10/5): Ensueño - Todo. Decoración, atención del personal, entorno, comida Nada que objetar. El mejor hotel de Marruecos y probablemente el mejor en el que he estado en mi vida.
- omalb (10/5): - Very nice and spacious rooms, view from room was spectacular and food was great!
- Jose (1/5): Desastre - No recomiendo ir Atención personal
- Robert (1/5): Unsafe hotel, staff that steals money, horrible food. Worst hotel in Morocco. - Appeared to be the only traditional “hotel” jn the area. Poor to no WiFi, horrible food at restaurant, patio doors/windows didn’t lock (safety/security issues), staff tried to force steal money, no TV stations, and a hot tub that was not hot. This hotel fell below all standards of an American 3 star hotel.
- christopher (8/5): A lovely hotel. Recommended - Excellent friendly staff throughout the hotel . Friendly and efficient . Food. Quantity over quality perhaps . But perfectly acceptable.
- Rogério (8/5): -
- Carrero Contreras (10/5): -
- Katarzyna (10/5): Great place for a half way rest between Marrakesh and Merzouga. - Great design of the common spaces and the rooms. Very comfortable beds. Nice view from the balcony. I liked everything :)
- jolanda (9/5): Ruime kamers met mooi uitzicht. - Hele ruime kamers, prachtig uitzicht, ondanks dat het een buffet was, was het eten prima. Bij het ontbijt was er voldoende keuze. Niks
- Karla (10/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): - Beautiful, beautiful property located on the hillside above the town in the valley. The art scattered throughout the hotel is amazing and you can't beat the pool. I will definitely be back!
- Az iddine (10/5): Tres bien d’après mes clients - Presque tout. Moi j’ai reservé pour mes clients (une famille de trois adultes) mais j’ai passé ma nuit dans un autre établissement. On m’a quand même offert le diner et le ptit dej au Xaluca. Deux hics: un danone qui perime le mm jour et les boissons au diner qui etaient extra mais il fallait le préciser aux clients. Merci
- Carola (10/5): -
- Dionis (10/5): Magnifico - Ubicacion, limpieza, comodidad Me faltó algo mas de comida, pero nada malo

- Jeffrey (7/5): Reminded me of Disney world with worse food. - Facilities are interesting. Nice outdoor Terrace and pool area when weather allows swimming.
Rooms are clean and bed comfortable.washrooms was really small. We had one of the two room apartments with a Beth large living room and dinning room and two very small rooms. Food was poor. Breakfast pastry was the worst I had during my whole trip to Morocco. Bring your own bottled water. Dinner has very few protein options. Try to get to dinner early so you have more food choice. They have a nice indoor pool area. Very busy when I was there.Gym facilities include a treadmill a poor quality bike and a mat and bench and ball.The one piece of equipment they had was broken. No free weights.Recommendation
For property; buy a variety of free weights. They don’t cost very much
- Spuch (8/5): - The room was incredible and the hotel very well decorated. There were a lot of groups in the hotel and the one staying close to our room was incredibly loud, we woke up at 6 a.m. with the speaking loudly with all their doors open.
I know this is not the hotel’s fault, but if you prefer a more quiet stay, maybe consider there are many groups in this hotel.
- Mike (9/5): Luxury travelers rest. - Beautiful bit of luxury for travellers passing through Dades. Secure for the motorbikes and serves alcohol. It was wonderful to be met by friendly staff who took our luggage straight from our motorbikes up to our rooms.
- Duhita_SenGupta (9/5): -
- Youssef (4/5): Vergane glorie, tijd voor flinke investering, dan kan het wel erg goed zijn - Locatie is mooi, mooi uitzicht . Diner buffet is goed en uitgebreid, helaas is ook water niet in begrepen en betaal je daar flink voor. Ontbijt is ook goed, koffie is helaas erg matig. Het is eigenlijk oud en niet up to date. De kamers zijn helemaal niet geluiddicht. De hal is betegeld, dus alle rolkoffers hoor je super goed. Ook als iemand praat in de gang is het erg luid. Je hoort zelfs de kamer naast je. Dit resultaat in een slechte nachtrust.
- Sally (10/5): Wow, wow, wow!!! - Magnificent- from start to finish. Extraordinary… It was superb!!!
- alison (9/5): Very enjoyable. - Rooms were amazing. Hotel lovely, Buffet meals ok. Reception staff were efficient but cold.
- Hassane (10/5): -
- Alejandro (9/5): -
- Jack (8/5): -
- Svetlana (8/5): - пышная кровать, шведский стол, горячая вода в душе (до этого в отелях была теплая), для нас удобное расположение между локациями, есть спа, но мы не успели воспользоваться отель оказался огромным с большим количеством людей и туристических групп, это не минус, просто не ожидали
- Margriet (9/5): Fantastisch uitzicht en goed verzorgd! - Het was heerlijk dat we er twee nachten verbleven om even van de rondreis door Marokko op adem te komen bij het zwembad. De kinderen hebben daar genoten en ook van de omgeving. Het is prachtig!! Het personeel staat voor alles voor je klaar en heel vriendelijk! Eten in restaurant was ook erg lekker (a la carte, wij hebben geen buffet gedaan) De balkons waren niet ingericht om op te zitten. Erg rommelig door alle airco apparaten en vies van de vogels.
- Francis (10/5): Halte dans un lieu raffiné où on se sent bien - L’accueil, la décoration faite avec beaucoup de goût et de soucis des détails , Rien
- Giuseppe (10/5): -

- flaviano (9/5): Consigliatissimo per una sosta a Dades - Hotel enorme con stanze belle e molto spaziose.
Particolare lo stile Africa di tutta la struttura, con arredi molto originali.
Molto bella la piscina con vista della vallata. Ricco buffet per cena e colazione
- Sisi (5/5): Personeel aan de bali een meneer. Heeft mijn zusje beloofd dat ze hier mocht zwemmen voor 100dh dat is 10 euro. Toen zij - De ruimte in de kamer De kortsluiting elke keer in mijn kamer. Elke keer wanneer ik melk wilde maken voor mijn zoontje. Viel de Electra uit. Deze is wel gerepareerd. Maar vervelend dat dit de 2e x is gebeurd
- richard (9/5): Nice Moroccan vibe to this hotel . - Nice hotel security on the gate which good for my motorcycle staff helpful , pool was nice and good air conditioning big buffet breakfast. The price of the evening buffet 300 dah per person.

- Johan (8/5): Very good - far out in the countryside, we found this new hotel, which had been constructed only two years ago, probably to attract agro / nature type travelers. room spacious with shower. Breakfast simole but adequate, nice cool pool and very private and quiet, tucked away from the country road. price / quality excellent.

- Ana (9/5): A great surprise - It was not our first choice, but it was super nice, they included our dinner and it was very good.
- Nabila (10/5): Xaluca Dades is a great place to stay!! definitely recommend it - everything was great
- Zouhayr (9/5): Superb - I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Dades Xaluca Hotel, and I must say it was an absolutely great experience. Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Moroccan desert, this hotel truly stands out.
1. Location and Views:
The hotel is strategically perched on the edge of the Dades Gorge, offering breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding red cliffs and the winding Dades River. Sunrise and sunset here are nothing short of magical and its breath-taking sunsets are gorgeous
2. Architecture and Design:
The blend of traditional Berber architecture with modern amenities is seamless. The adobe-style buildings, arched doorways, and terracotta hues create an authentic and inviting atmosphere. The central courtyard with its lush greenery and mosaic fountains is a tranquil oasis.
3. Rooms and Comfort:
My room was spacious, elegantly furnished, and impeccably clean. The plush bed ensured a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the nearby valleys.
4. Dining Experience:
The hotel's restaurant serves a delightful mix of Moroccan and international cuisine. Don't miss the tagine dishes—they're flavourful and authentic. Had a buffet style dinner and breakfast and they had delicious food and lots to choose from.
5. Warm Hospitality:
The staff at Dades Xaluca went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we entered the hotel to check in.
In summary, the Dades Xaluca Hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Morocco's desert. If you're seeking tranquillity, stunning vistas, and authentic Moroccan hospitality, look no further. I would return and recommend to everyone

- Hammane (5/5): Passable -
- Michael (8/5): Nice stay. The reception staff were really helpful. - Excellent and polite staff. Small chairs and table in room were not comfortable.
The price was a little high to me compared to other hotels I have stayed in with the same amenities. But in Boulmane there is not a lot of choice for full service hotels.
- Shanqun (8/5): Very good -
- Rudi (10/5): Highlight on our road trip - The hotel is located at the end of the street and has a large parking lot. The terrace and the pool on the roof are really nice and good for relaxing after activities in the hot sun. Very good view of the city and the hills from the terrace and from the rooms.
The hotel interior has a rustic but not old-fashioned colonial style. More exclusive than the sober functional modern hotels.
Very friendly staff, good breakfast and dinner (large buffet), Moroccan and Spanish style. Alcohol can be ordered at typical higher prices (high tax).
Rooms are very nice and rustic decorated, large, well equipped and clean.
Stable quality since 2016 (our first visit).
- Laura (6/5): A hotel better to stay at in cooler weather - It was beautiful and very rustic Air conditioning did not work very well so it was uncomfortably hot inside the hotel and outside. It wasn’t near anything to walk to.
- Keith (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rhonda (6/5): Hot and uncomfortable. - Nice buffet. Nice views from balcony. Friendly staff. Rooms were cleans. A/c never worked. Moved rooms and still didn’t work. Offered NO compensation. Overall miserable night in July.
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chealseoung (10/5): Nice accommodation - It is a perfect accommodation with a wonderful view and everything close to the tourist attraction The parking lot is uncomfortable, but it's not a problem
- Zahoor (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!! Great place to stay. Luxury hotel, beautiful decor. Very clean, comfortable, amazing buffet for brew and dinner included. Had a very comfortable stay. Nothing
- Ashley (8/5): Very good -
- Bonita (9/5): big hotel feel,good for 1 or 2 nights - the rooms are big and comfortable. the bathroom facilities are good. the general facilities are good.
pool is great (too cold in winter) and the hot tub is warm enough to sit in.
buffet food was ok - salads and fruit were good. compared to other places in Morocco, the staff were less talkative- not unfriendly but definitely not as warm as places we’ve stayed.
the spa experience was ok but it felt a little unwelcoming and the massages were a little “rough around the edges”
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - very good hotel with very good facilites pool tenis curt football and biliard very nice rooms
- Karolina (9/5): Perfect for one night during the road trip. - Great dinner/lunch buffet.
Good location for what we needed.
Free and easy parking was a bonus for us!
Loved the balcony. n/a
- Maturu (9/5): Superb -
- Maturu (10/5): Exceptional - excellent food and variety.
rooms were very good.
- Chiara (7/5): Good -
- Sovaida (9/5): unique, artistic, adventure stay - the location was good. this hotel is all about the views and it delivered. Watching the sunset, was breathtakingly beautiful.
We paid for the half board, which includes breakfast and dinner (no drinks with dinner, extra charge). The buffet selection for both was good, something g for everyone.
