"Space was welcoming and the staff is awesome! Probably the best breakfast spread of any hostel. Super social place without being crazy loud. Also right next to the English pub if you fancy a drink."
"Aucun."
"The property is very nice and calm. I love the rooftop, its so beautiful"
"There was no room/space dedicated for prayers. Please they should consider proving a space for Salats"
"Breakfast was delicious, the toilets and bathrooms were clean, and the accommodation is in the heart of the Medina. Lovely."
"The late check-in fee was mandatory even though the airline was delayed by 3 hours"
"The best hostel I have stayed at in Morocco, beautiful decorations, great rooftop social setting, unlimited mint tea, helpful & friendly staff, amazing breakfast"
"The wifi & cell data don't work in some areas of the hostel, cannot find a quiet & private area for even a 30 minutes phone call, the bathroom door in my dorm room doesn't lock properly"
"Great value, comfy beds, exceptional breakfast unexpected. Fun rooftop vibe. Really nice place for this budget price."
"Check in wasn’t smooth, not sure what the hold up was. Then the yelling at staff was a bit much especially since it was late with thin walls. Very friendly service but wish we were told how to work hot water heaters for hot water in morning. Breakfast exceptional but late at 0930."
"The property was excellent all around! The room was great, the downstairs and the rooftop were both spacious and comfortable. The breakfast served each morning is unbeatable."
"Aucun."
"This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at in my life. We arrived Friday afternoon and they made family dinner for us (for free) and we got to meet all of the people that were staying at the hostel with us. They provide tea and coffee throughout the day and the common spaces are absolutely gorgeous. We left to go to a Desert tour and came back on Sunday so we only had breakfast one of the days but it was great. All of the staff is so welcoming and nice. We truly had an amazing time- would consider coming back to Fes just to stay at this hostel."
"We loved everything about it. Cannot say anything bad about this place. They even helped us book airport transfer because our flight left at 7am the last morning we were there."
"Wonderful community, comfortable social areas, good view, felt very safe"
"Bathroom had an odd odor/could have been cleaner due to cats"

"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!"

Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."

"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."
"Good accommodation for an overnight close to Zagora. Quiet and relaxing under palm trees. I slept comfortably. The room is ok, there is even a minifridge in the room. Good breakfast. The car access is through a narrow street, but the host helped me to bring my car."
