Guest reviews for BackHome Fez
"Very warm and welcoming staff, they put on a big BBQ dinner for everyone, very social and lovely people! Super comfortable for a female solo traveller"
"Aucun."
"The guys running the place are respectful, nice, and helpful . The place has a great vibe and you feel welcomed from the get go, and in different languages. The "neighbors-friends" I guess, sitting outside helping you find the place are also nice. I found amusing the key dropping from the terrace. I wish i had stayed there longer rather than at the claustrophobic riad I spent my two previous nights."
"My very personal opinion: cats should never be in a hostel or hotel, never ever."
"The hostel Employees where very nice and would make sure everything was always fine. I had a private room with single bed and the bed was comfortable but it was really just space for the bed :) still fine. Just don't expect to have to much space. I did see that the double bed room looked very roomy. I would recommend this hostel .Its not to deep in medina and not so hard to find in the giant maze of fez."
"Aucun."
"One of the few places in Morocco that felt like a hostel, generally pretty easy to meet up with other travelers and get dinner together. Filtered water a big plus. Great view from the terrace, which had some sheltered spaces as well as indoor lounges on every floor, which was essential when it rained all week"
"Lumpy beds. Had to walk through the rain to go from the bedroom to the bathroom. There are *two* kitchens but both are exclusively for the use of the staff, and viciously guarded by the employees. The guys who work there were very friendly with all the female guests."
"The roof is great, it close to blue gate, staff is great"
"They organise great tours"
"- Out of all my hostels, this one had the best breakfast - Abdul and staff very friendly - Terrace is as advertised"
"- Toliet area super tight - Eventually hot water worked - Private room let a lot of street noise in"
"The staff is super friendly and breakfast is good!"
"Nothing"
"The rooftop terrace was great. It overlooked the city and has plenty of spots to sit and hang out. There are other community spaces to hang out in as well."
"The bathrooms are so small you can barely fit in there to use them. The showers don’t have hooks for towels and they flood. To get into the property you have to ring the bell and it’s really loud. With everyone coming and going at all hours of the day and night the bell is rather annoying."
"I like the colourful of the Riad. The building serve well to accommodate many customers."
"I missed the breakfast time as I needed to check out the hostel early in the morning."
"The vibe is really chill and the staff kind and available for any need. I arrived starving and they offered me a great tajine and tea. The breakfast is included and that's definitely a plus. The location is good to reach the Medina walking, but far enough to have a quiet break! I loved Mimi, the hostel cat, she wanders around asking for cuddles."
"Aucun."

Guest reviews
"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

"I needed a place to stay on my way through and this fit the bill. Happy to have stayed there. The staff was especially helpful."
Paul Hotel Palace Zaida
"Quiet location, garbage to store the bicycles. Shared bathroom was clean and close to the room, which had its own sink. Good hot shower. Friendly owners."
Casey Hotel Imilchil
"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at “Kasbah du Bout”. The host was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. The Kasbah was very clean and well kept. We experienced a relaxing atmosphere and stay. We recommend staying here when visiting Zagora. Fred K. United States."
"Amazing camp accessible by car. We only had front-wheel drive Dacia, so it was a bit difficult to get there. If you go, lease a 4x4 for sure. We only wanted a day trip on camels, so we arrived by car. There are many camps that you can visit on a multi-day trip on camels deeper in the desert, however, if you only want a day trip on camels and have car, this is a must-visit. Personnel superb, food superb Bathroom facilities better than most hotels, in the tent (available outside of tent as well - they have public bathrooms) They booked a day trip on camels. We wanted to try this limited version before going on a multiple day trip on camels. I suggest telling them that you don't want to spend 4h on the lunch break. It's too long. 2h of break is enough. You go about 2h on camels' backs and then back after lunch. This camp was top 2 experiences we had in morocco. If you want larger and more iconic sand dunes, visit Merzouga. The dunes here are small, yet beautiful"
