Guest Reviews

• AndrewM1968 (6/5): Looks great on the outside - This place looks terrific from the outside - the layout, the buildings, the pool and water feature. Inside it is a bit tired and could do with a refresh. Plumbing was not great - they did change rooms for the second night and things were better (proper hot shower). Everyone had the same problem that the shower went all over the bathroom - simple shower curtains would have reduced the impact. Grounds were well maintained and breakfast was comprehensive and good food. At the end probably more disappointed in respect of what it indicated it had been and could easily could be again.
• Cosmopolitan485386 (6/5): Quiet venue - Average hotel, only a few amenities. It was very cold outside and we had trouble getting the room heater to work. The restaurant food was average but the interior too cold to enjoy it. Staff were all lovely however . It was the slow season so not much to do there tho the summer might be nicer.
• DigitalNomad999 (2/5): Worst hotel I've ever stayed in - I'm honestly not that fussy about hotels, but this place was completely unacceptable. It looks nice from the outside, but our room was really dirty and everything was broken down (leaky toilet that wouldn't stop "running" all night, shower drain was blocked and flooded the bathroom, soap dispenser fell off the wall when I touched it). The restaurant was mediocre and over-priced, and the front desk staff were rude (assuming that you could find them at all - reception was mostly unattended). It's also quite far from Chefchouen (20 euros for a taxi) with nothing to do nearby. I'm mystified as to why anyone in their right mind would stay there, when we saw plenty of really nice, cheaper options in the town. If you're going there as part of a tour (as I did, unfortunately), I suggest booking your own accommodations in the town and avoiding this place.
• muhanad (8/5): - Pro: nice facility, you can get grapes and pomegranates off of the tries, facility has lots of potentials. Con: expensive ($230 / night), when we got to the breakfast buffet next morning the food was gone, the staff in the dining room blamed a large tourist group that came late night before for eating everything, they did not offer us any replacement, we ended up eating olives and some pieces of cheese , very poor experience considering the $230 per night price
• Nour (4/5): - The hotel room was not clean. So much dust and the food at the buffet was cold with limited choices. There is no heat/ flame beneath the food. The coffee was cold. The pool was dirty. We had to stay one night while driving from Tangier to Fes and wanted to see Chefchaouen.
• Noor (2/5): - Refrigerator not working. Air conditioner had issues. No curtain for shower Phone in room not working. We had to personally walk and go to the office to communicate. Every day same menu with lot of left overs. We were given the bungalow, which had no lights outside and was remote and dark
• OnAir43978987755 (6/5): Good for short term - We stayed here for two nights and found it was good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Blue City. The rooms were spacious but a little dated but the towels and sheets were clean. The outdoor areas were beautiful with the buildings painted in the blues of the city and the gardens were well kept. Breakfast was average and the hotel does not sell drinks and the like so make sure you stock up in the city so you have some supplies with you.
• 804ranjnam (6/5): Good food and beautiful setting - Beautiful setting with the Rif Mountains as a backdrop. The outside space by the pool is skilfully designed with the lovely Chefchaouen blue walls and terracotta roof tiles. Orange, lemon and kumquats trees are scattered around the area. I give this 4* The chef, Tarik Sifat, has to be praised for the delicious spread at dinner and breakfast. There was plenty of choice for vegetarians. When chatting with him, I could tell that he had put a lot of effort in all the various dishes he had prepared. The quinoa salad with argan oil was delicious. I would give the food 5*. The overall 3* rating is because the room and bathroom we stayed in need to be updated and refreshed. The bedding and towels were clean and white though. I would stay there again.
• J9523JCchristopherd (6/5): Nice hotel. Outdated room. - Staff are very attentive and helpful. Room is very outdated with lots of things needing repair. A strong sour smell throughout the area. We had a very nice breakfast the morning we left. Beautiful area. The hotel grounds are well kept and tidy.
• Rafferty8 (6/5): Tired and needs updating would not return - Great grounds, secured behind gate with view to Chefchaouen. Rooms are adequate but very tired and linen well past use by date. Bathroom spacious but dated, toilet bowl stained and cracked, cistern dripping. Could be fabulous. Breakfast below average, staff obliging.
• Azim (8/5): - Beautiful quiet property, good service and the pool area is amazing. What would take Dar Ba Sidi to the next level would be better upkeep of the grounds (mowing/weeding), and touch ups on some of the typical expectations of excellent accommodations such as working internal telephones (so you dont need to go to reception when you need anything), water bottles every day of your stay (not just on the first day), etc. We did enjoy our stay though :)
• marwanrais11 (10/5): Excellent start for our trip in Morocco! - Amazing hotel, delicious food, very welcoming and friendly staff members, the rooms are good with heating AC and it was clean and cozy. close to Chefchaouen Medina and Akchour Waterfalls. Highly recommended if you are staying in Chefchaouen 🇲🇦
• kuiN (4/5): A frozen experience: Extremely disappointing rooms and amenities! - We booked a tripple room and were put into a family room - a double room and a twin adjoining room. The twin room can only be described as a freezer with beds, it had zero amenities aside from the beds, and no heating which made it completely unusable during the 3 degree celcius nights. The bathroom in the main room was a complete disaster. Once the shower was used, the entire room would flood and the moisture in the room condensed to leave a foul damp smell. The food in the restaurant was average at best, and everything at breakfast was cold (including the tea and coffee) which is far from ideal given the cold weather in December. The restaurant also has no heating so it was heavy jackets at all times. The only saving grace for this place was that the staff in the hotel were reasonably friendly and tried their best to accomodate our requests, but given the poor conditions at this ageing hotel I definitely would not stay here again.
• sharll_13 (2/5): Nightmare hotel, kept at sub zero temperature - 1 out of 5 stars. Hotel from the movie “ the shining” meets “faulty towers “. We are from Canada so we know cold . But little did I realize I would be sleeping hotel kept at the same temperature as a hockey rink. Place run by teenagers. Don’t stay here
• James (8/5): - Was what we expected very friendly staff, room were very spacious
• Geert (10/5): Ideaal verblijf om Chefchaouen te bezoeken - Uitzonderlijk vriendelijk personeel, mooi uitzicht op Chefchaouen, rustig, mooie kamer met goed bed. We hebben er ook lekker gegeten. Kortom een aanrader om van hieruit Chefchaouen te bezoeken. De uitbaatster regelt een taxi voor 75 Mad. Minder positief: de tuin mag opgefrist worden en de muziekinstallatie in jet restaurant is aan vernieuwing toe.
• Mills (4/5): - I cannot comment on the property since I actually did not stay at it but I will comment on how the reservation was handled. I made an honest mistake and neglected to changed the default dates. I had several pages open while planning our trip to Morocco in 2020 and missed changing the dates to our actual dates when I submitted our booking (at 6:14pm EST - which is 11:15pm in Morocco) for the Chefhaouen region at the Dar Ba Sidi Spa. I contacted Expedia immediately. The next day I received a request from Expedia suggesting I resubmit a new reservation for the hotels consideration in the claim. So I did. Now both payments were committed. This puts me in a being held ransom position and now at the mercy of two commitments for the same hotel and no ability to change our plans should such happen. I sent a message to the hotel and they advised "we confirm we did not charge the credit card for the reservation yesterday and we confirm that the refilling will be the day of your arrival". I waited a couple days and the charges were processed for both dates on my credit card. Given how this has been handled I will absorb the loss of the first mistake I made but rest assured, I cannot recommend this resort. Fortunately I had a cancellation option for the second submission I sent. As a result of how this all handled I cannot recommend this resort.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a comfortable property with lovely views of Chefchaouen. Wi-fi does not work in the rooms, but the rest of the facilities were lovely.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Nothing was unique. Its not 5 star property as mentioned on the website. If you remove 5 star feom there and put 2 star rating. Then its fine with what they offer.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - un panorama splendido, una struttura piacevole nel verde del Rif .
• Jean-François (10/5): À découvrir absolument. Merci Melle RIM - Tout est charmant. Accueil, chaleur humaine, un petit coin de paradis avec vue imprenable sur la montagne et la ville de Chefchaouen. Idéalement situé. Très grande et belle piscine. Au Spa la masseuse professionnelle redonnera jeunesse et bien-être à votre corps. Le chef du restaurant émerveillera les papilles les plus délicates. Là directrice et son personnel formé une belle famille.. Bravo ! Bungalow spacieux doté de grand lit très confortable.. Mon épouse, nos enfants et moi-même Avons passé un agréable séjour. Ce fût un peu dur d'en repartir.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Personale cordiale troppa puzza di fogna proveniente dal bagno struttura poco curata
• José Antonio (6/5): - No tiene Wifi en la habitación, la tele los canales son piratas y no se veían, teníamos que pedir cada día papel higiénico, el desayuno muy pobre, es una pena porque el hotel es bonito y él entorno también, el personal inexperto, la chica de recepción pasaba de nuestras quejas. Recomendamos revisen todo lo expuesto para poder mejorar.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - まず立地が表記と違って遠く、市内のプチタクシーから郊外のグランタクシーに乗り換えないといけないのは、わからないし知らないし観光客目当てのボックリの良いターゲットとなり交渉が必要 外出はホテルにタクシーを頼まないと出られないし 帰りもホテルからタクシーを頼んでもらわないと市内のタクシーに乗っては帰れないから交通費が高くつく トイレが流れない 部屋が寒く冷暖房付いていても効いてない 写真のイメージと全く違う
• Petya (4/5): - It was clean, but the room cleaning service was very poor. On one occasion (we spent a total of four nights), they did not even get in the room, the garbage was not collected, the dirty towels still on the floor, and utensils on the table from the room service. The Hotel is about 9 miles/ 15 km from the City of Chefchaouen (in the middle of nowhere) and feels very isolated and lonely . The restaurant is overpriced, but you have no choice at night, as there is nothing nearby. The worse is that there is no WiFi in the bungalows, and you have to be outside, near the main building or inside the lobby where the reception is in order to use the internet. Both places are very cold at night. One positive thing about the hotel is the friendliness of the staff at the reception and at the restaurant. If I visit the area again, I will definitely stay at another hotel in the city itself.
• JULIAN (8/5): Comodo pero la ubicacion no es la mejor. - Es un hotel nuevo que no esta terminado totalmente. Debes tener transporte para ir a chefchouan ya que queda a unos 15 minutos en carro.
• Dangerous (10/5): - Belle vue sur Chefchaouen, bonne chose de dormir à l’ext De cette belle ville mais surtout être loin de tous les voleurs....
• Matthew (8/5): Very nice - We arrived at night and the hostess was very accommodating. The upgrades us to a suite at no cost. Dinner on site was delicious and the free breakfast was great as well. Nice views of Chefchaounen. The room was very spacious. Two critiques - the bed had no bedskirt and there was no toilet paper in the room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Top verblijf - Rustig en net hotel. Personeel is erg vriendelijk. Enige minpunt is dat de parkeerplaats erg klein is en als er een wat grotere auto staat je er nauwelijks uit komt. Verder 100% een aanrader en we komen zeker terug!
• Patrick (10/5): Amazing resort just outside Chefchaouen ... - If you are looking for a very Moroccan intimate feel with top notch food, service with breathtaking architecture and gardens this is your place. It is very reasonably priced. Breakfast, WiFi and parking are all included. The owner Najib is very helpful and kind and the staff is so attentive. When we walked in they greeted us with fresh squeezed juice and when we arrived in our room there was a plate of figs and fresh fruit. Their towels are beautiful and Everything is brand new and really clean. They have a really nice Resteraunt attached to the hotel so it is very convenient. Nice menu and they will accommodate for special requests. We had a great dinner there our first night with authentic Moroccan tagine. They also send out tours with you for shopping and roaming the town. Gorgeous pool and back seating area. Easy to find and 10 minute drive from downtown chefchaoun. Best place to stay for the price, amenities and location.
