Guest Reviews

• Polet (10/5): -
• Meriem (8/5): Agréable vue et calme incroyable à recommander vivement 🥰 - Accueil et accompagnement Rien à signaler
• Hind (5/5): - The view La sécurité le rapport qualité prix l'emplacement
• Spencer (7/5): beautiful location but they were not expecting us and it was freezing cold! - This was a lovely setting with a great view and it seems like it would be very comfortable in season. However, even though we prepaid on booking.com I feel they were not expecting us and not prepared. When we showed up there were no clear signs to the property and no one was there. We asked some locals and they found the caretaker for us who let us in. He was nice, and his daughter(?) came and cooked for us and his brother who spoke excellent English and is a guide in the area came to make sure we were OK and answer questions. They were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was freezing. Possibly the hotel wasn't really open for the season, so the whole building was very cold our whole stay, and we ended up catching colds for the rest of the trip despite sleeping in many many layers of clothing. Also the wifi wasn't working. If you come in a shoulder season I suggest calling first and making sure they are expecting you!
• Zara (10/5): Beautiful place in the mountains - The owner was so kind and welcoming to us. It’s a very special place and a unique experience. Grateful to have seen this lovely place.
• Gustav (10/5): Great value, authentic feeling - Location, terrace, host, breakfast and dinner were great. Nice rooms with everything you need. Attending hosts making sure you have everything you need. Flexible home-cooked breakfast and dinner times, per preference of time and requests. Local and authentic feeling 😍 It was a bit cold at night in March, but that is to be expected from a small mountain village. Water took a little bit to get warm.
• Jacques (9/5): Dépaysant - Très belle chambre dans un village berbère
• Arbi (10/5): Amazing service, very kind and helpful staff. I truly felt at home. -
• Jose Antonio (7/5): Super nice house, excellent hospitatlity and food, but difficult to reach. - Nice location Complicated to get to, parking to far from the property
• Kaoutar (10/5): -
• Agni (1/5): Bad - Despite these challenges, it is worth mentioning that the natural beauty of Imlil was breathtaking. The mountain views were stunning, and the local people were warm, friendly, and always greeted us with smiles. Children played happily, waving at us whenever we passed by. The locals made us feel welcome, leaving a positive impression of the area itself. I would still recommend visiting Imlil it is a wonderful destination with amazing scenery and kind-hearted people. Just make sure to carefully choose the right property for your stay. Upon our arrival at the Imlil Mountains, we were four girls carrying a significant amount of luggage. We quickly realized we were lost, unfamiliar with the area and unsure of how to reach the property. Our initial excitement began to fade as confusion set in. Desperate for assistance, we contacted the woman responsible for the place where we had made our reservation. However, instead of a reassuring response, she informed us that she was in the city center and could not help. Despite our repeated explanations that we were four young women lost and struggling with our bags, she seemed reluctant to offer support. After several calls, one of us, overwhelmed by the situation, firmly insisted that we needed help. Reluctantly, she promised to send someone. Yet, after a long, tense wait, no one appeared. Determined not to let fear take over, we struggled with our luggage, navigating the steep, rugged mountain stairs. These stairs, characteristic of mountain terrain, were irregular, large, and uneven each step demanding effort and caution. At last, we found the property, but the woman we had spoken to was nowhere to be seen. Instead, two young girls likely her children were present. They did not ask for our identification, simply noted our names, and directed us to our rooms. Our accommodations did not match our expectations. The rooms were separated one upstairs and the other downstairs. This arrangement was far from ideal for four girls who had hoped to stay together. When the woman finally arrived, we requested a change, explaining our wish to be closer. She dismissed our concerns, stating that this setup was what we had booked. Our interaction became strained when she brought up a particular comment one of us had mentioned over the phone that we were "in the middle of nowhere." This phrase seemed to offend her, perhaps because she interpreted it as an insult to the area.
• Abderrahmane (9/5): Superb - Beautiful room with beautiful mountain views , location is in the middle of the village, not as google maps says, but very close
• Jessica (6/5): We enjoyed our stay but had a mixed experience. - Beautiful hotel with stunning views. Hotel is difficult to get to as its up the hill with limited transport so you feel stranded, taxi costs 100d (3 minutes from Imlil to Tamatert + walk to hotel) where taxi from Marrakech to Imlil is 50d (1.5hrs). Host lady was lovely but poor management, the shower was freezing so we used another room which was awkward and still cold. No set menu so the male manager made up prices which were double than in town. We still enjoyed our stay and the hikes are incredible!
• Mourad (5/5): A stunning views and friendly staff overshadowed by poor access and overpriced food options. - Cleanliness: The property itself was impeccably clean, which was a major plus. It's clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining a tidy and hygienic environment. Friendly Staff: The staff members were consistently friendly and helpful. They were always willing to assist with any requests and contributed to a positive atmosphere. Stunning Views: The view from the property was absolutely breathtaking. It was a highlight of my stay and definitely a selling point for this location. Difficult Access & Location: The property's location, while offering beautiful views, is a major disadvantage. It's quite far from the city center, and the lack of clear directions made finding it initially very challenging. The road leading to the property is also in poor condition, making the journey difficult, especially if you're walking. This isolation makes it difficult to access other dining options or amenities independently. Breakfast Quality: While breakfast was included in the price, it was unfortunately disappointing, especially considering the cost of the stay. The limited selection lacked variety and essential items. Specifically, the absence of eggs and soup, common breakfast staples, was noticeable. The overall quality of the breakfast did not justify its inclusion in the price. Overpriced Food & Exploitation of Location: Due to the remote location and challenging access to the city center, the property seems to take advantage of guests' limited options when it comes to food. The prices for meals offered at the property are excessively high, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. For example, charging 50 DH for a small soup, one egg, and three dates is simply not reasonable and feels exploitative. This pricing strategy feels particularly unfair given the lack of alternative dining options nearby.
• Manal (7/5): Hope that they work more about the booking cuz what i see here i didnt find it there - The place the view the property was kind The food and the price of dinner
• Daryl (10/5): - Brilliant stay. Views are incredible very peaceful and quiet and located perfectly for the mountains. Hassan was a great host.
• Nj_z (10/5): The staff Kasam is super great - Kasam is absolutely hospitable to us!!! He cooks amazing 3 course dinner and breakfast, after a long day hike, this is exactly what we needed. The staffs helped us with luggages when we trying to reach the location. The terrace view is great. This place doesn’t have WiFi, which is very good for digital detox, not a complaint but I wish I knew it before I book. Location. We entered through Imlil Lodge (same company) and we were hosted with tea before going to the actual place. This place sits uphill with lots of stairs that we need to walk. Electricity. The whole area had power cuts once every 40 mins when we arrived after 6pm. This is a general infrastructure problem, not a complaint. The people were very helpful in set us with candle lights during dinner, kinda cool in some ways.
• Nicola (10/5): The host is exceptionally kind and friendly and accommodates all requests. - Our host Ayoub was kind and friendly. He met our taxi and carried our luggage, walked us to and from Imlil so we could get dinner, took us on a hike, we had mint tea at his cousin’s house and he made our breakfast both days. He speaks enough English to chat about his life and the villages. The accommodation is good, with decent bathroom and comfortable and clean bedding. But Ayoub makes it a special experience. You have to walk to Imlil for lunch and dinner. It’s at least 2km which was a long walk uphill after dinner and a day of walking. Our kids aged 11 and 14 found that tiring.
• Gilman (8/5): A pleasant stay in a traditional village - Delightful hosts who were friendly and helpful. Comfortable, clean accommodation with lovely views of the mountains. Mountain house in the heart of a traditional village It is further from Imlil than we had expected. A 40 minute walk to the village. Access is a little tricky with a steep uneven path
• Viraj (8/5): - Great View of the mountains. Nice Place but bé aware that it is a bit of a walk uphill through some untended terrain at times in Case you have heavy suitcases. Not sure if we were Too early or late in the season but we were the only ones in this accommodation and some of the lights were not working. The staff were excellent as was the dinner!
• Joe (10/5): My second visit here and it never fails to deliver, great location, great host. - Location is amazing would highly recommend staying here rather than the main village. Hassan was an amazing host looked after us from the minute we arrived and cooked amazing Tagine and delicious breakfasts
• Jessie (10/5): Thank you Kasbah Imlil for an unforgettable experience. - Staying at Kasbah Imlil has been the highlight of our trip to Morroco- Hasan’s hospitality was faultless. His tagines were absolutely delicious and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had. He helped us organise a day trek with a local guide also called Hasan which we would highly recommend, as well as help organise a taxi back to Marrakesh. He looked after us from the minute we arrived and we can’t thank him enough. The property is located in a beautiful quiet location, about a 15/20 minute walk uphill from the centre of Imlil. The roof terrace was the perfect place to relax with a mint tea after walking all day (and to star gaze at night!) A must if you are planning on visiting Imlil.
• El (3/5): Bad - Cozy comfy a bit Food is bad, I had to buy my food. Ah oh my god the wifey kept cutting because they had to reload it every time. Takes hours
• Katrina (8/5): Very good - The property offers a stunning view over the valley and the hosts went out of their way to make us comfortable.
• Bo (10/5): Perfect - The view is something you won’t experience so often. Man, such beauty, overwhelming, surreal, purity… You wake up with view towards the deep valley and mountains. Only thing waking up by was a chicken yelling in my ear, he started at night, only to humor about afterwards. Doesn’t matter for what you get in return for it, perhaps a natural way of waking up, screaming me awake a bit later would’ve been more convenient though, but this is something noone can do anything about, but the chicken. Staff was lovely, very welcoming and could arrange anything needed (transport, guides for walks etc). The walk up to the Kasbah was a rather confronting experience for my stamina, though. Especially for this price, must see, at all costs. Dinner was just what is needed as well, very good. Thanks thanks thanks
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Allott (10/5): Amazing stay in the mountains! - We absolutely LOVED our stay at this Riad!! We were treated with such kindness and welcome by Elias and everybody at the Riad, and received all of our meals in the house, except when we decided to eat in Imlil village. The whole experience was fantastic value and has been our favourite booking from our whole trip in Morocco. Also thank you to Lahsen, our guide who so kindly took us on our hike in the mountains, and made our experience even better! A special mention to Elias for going above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be.
• Mehdi (10/5): Unforgettable - Great location and beautiful surrounding atmosphere. The scenery was breath taking. We had the friendliest and most helpful receptionist and staff ever. Kaltoum welcomed us in the best way possible and made sure we had the best stay in Imlil. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean and comfortable. We also had the chance to meet Lahssen who was our guide during our stay. He was really nice. We’ve enjoyed our hike with him as he was very knowledgeable, has numerous behind the scenes stories and plenty of experience that made this hike truly an unique and unforgettable one. I HIGHLY recommend and I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future. -
• Ereira (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zara (10/5): Fantasitic views with highly accommodation - Kasbah Imlil was the best booking we’ve made through Booking.com! Khartoum was absolutely amazing, meeting us in Imlil and taking us to the property herself. The bed was unbelievably comfortable which was very much needed after a long hike up Mount Toubkal. Khartoum also organised everything for us on the day of our arrival, our guide for Toubkal, our suppers and helped us with our taxis to and from Marrakech. The house is beautiful, with incredible views of Imlil, and I would highly recommend staying up in the village Tamatert at Kasbah Imlil rather than in Imlil itself. It’s very quick to walk down into Imlil and it is much quieter and more beautiful just the 15 minute walk above Imlil. I cannot rate Kasbah Imlil more highly as a place to stay! Thank you so much :)
• Johannes (10/5): Exceptional - Location, breakfast, very friendly staff A bit hard to find, i.e. parking
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely accommodation above the village. Amazing views and hospitality. Morocco at its best! With suitcases, difficult to access. But this was advertised. And part of the charm.
• Sander (5/5): Passable - The location, the accommodation and the breakfast were good. The owner tried to fix (faux?) guides for us, although we already had an appointment with someone else doing the Toubkal tour. He kept asking questions about our guide and set this up. When we confronted him, all of a sudden he didn't spoke any word of English anymore. Sad.
• Ketan (9/5): Excellent views, hospitality and food. - The views from the terrace was breath taking. the housekeeper Khatun did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The guide Lahsun recommended by the property was absolutely fantastic, we loved our 4 hr trek with him. Toilets on the first floor could have been better.
• Ereira (9/5): a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful area. - when we arrived to the property, passing through Imlil, we were a bit worried we were a lot further from Imlil than we’d expected and we thought it might be inconvenient. But we realised that the location is a lot nicer than being in Imlil itself as all meals are available at the guesthouse, the views are much better than from Imlil, and when you do walk into Imlil it’s not hard to arrange a mule for the kids to ride back up the hill! Kahtoum was very kind and helpful and it was a lovely spot with a comfortable terrace. The wonderful guides of Trek Atlas were able to start our 2-day trek from the guesthouse door in the family room the bathroom door was very loud and creaky which disturbed everyone, but I’m sure that’s an easy fix with some oil!
• Eric (10/5): Great place before hiking - Amazing place to stay before hiking in the Atlas! The food is amazing and the atmosphere lovely with a beautiful view over the mountain from the common area! Just hard to find but once there it feels like being in a small hidden village!
• Luca (8/5): Very good - Staff is great and warm welcoming, dinner proposed is very good! Isn't a complaints at all, but keep in mind that Imlil center, where excursions starts, is a bit far away and road isn't flat 😉
• Steyn (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is super friendly. The breakfast and dinners were superb. Beautiful views of the mountains from the terrace and dining area. We booked a guide for a beautiful day hike and ended up extending our stay. Wifi was a bit slow at times, but this can be expected in the mountains.
• André (10/5): Amazing hospitality, breakfast and installations. - Hospitality and installations The air conditioning of our bedroom was not working and the heater could not do much
• Aissam (9/5): Superb -
• Narissa (10/5): A wonderful, memorable stay, in a perfect location - We were a family of four who visited Kasbah Imlil for a 3-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better trip. The location was perfect and the team did everything they could to ensure that our trip was comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. Kasbah Imlil is perfectly located, especially if you'd like to take a hike up to the peak (Toubkal); the surroundings are beautiful and the main town is a short walk away. The rooms are cosy and warmly decorated and all have fantastic views of the surroundings. We'd like to mention Yousef (the manager) who made sure that our trip was perfectly coordinated. Khadija (the cook) made the most lovely food (both breakfast and dinner), and even made a surprise birthday cake for our Dad who was celebrating his birthday during our time there. A special thanks to Abdou, who was on hand to take care of us during our stay. Nothing was too big an ask for Abdou and he even spent an entire day taking us on a trek up the mountains. We'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our trip so special. Nothing to note
• Yotam (9/5): Superb -
• Tim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Simon (9/5): Superb -
• Celine (7/5): We received good quality for an extremely reasonable price and the staff were very friendly. - Service, nice people. Beds hard and uncomfortable, very cold in the room.
• Youssef (10/5): Exceptional - all the staff was kind the nature is wonderful and the balcony gives us a special view on the mountain
• Verified traveler (10/5): Dream stay! - Really special place. We loved the views, the service, and especially our meals on the rooftop. Was a bit up the hill but we liked that because it was in a local village and had the nicest views and people!
• niran (10/5): Amazing stay at beautiful hotel - Beautiful inn with great personalized attention. Great view, very clean, hot water. Dinner was incredible and totally worth it (100 DH pp). Soup was amazing and mains were very well done.
