"Very nice host, Mohamed and Naaima. They help us in everything (transfer, trip). The rooms are very clean, the breakfast and dinner fantastic. The rooftop terrace is big and comfortable too. Medina is near by. It is 5 stars! We recommend of course!"

"We loved our stay at Ryad Ayad, the hosts was incredibly friendly and organised our taxi and showed us where we could get money out etc without expecting anything in return and spoke good English. The rooms are comfortable and nice value for money, you have the entire 1st floor with 3 rooms and access to the roof terrace which has views of the mountains, birds singing, sunlight and shade. The hosts lives on the ground floor and were always quiet and keen to help us with anything. The breakfasts were lovely and the dinner was superb! We went to two restaurants rated 4.9 out of 5 before eating at Ryad Ayad and the dinner with our hosts was far better than both restaurants, if they give you the option make sure to take it your wont regret it. Very easy walking distance to everything I'm the Medina."

"Our stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful, thanks to the amazing hospitality of Naimma. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home, treating us like family and ensuring we were always comfortable and happy. Even after we checked out, she reached out to check on us, which was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. We highly recommend staying here when you visited Marrakech."

"It is a nice location with many hospitality. They arranged a taxi for us, that took to thr nearest street where we met her. Sightseeing, all major attractions available within 15-30 min. by foot. Naaima prepared a delicious brakfast with tea and coffee every day and dinner for us on the day of arrival (payed for it separately)."
"Aucun."
"Friendly host and quiet rooms - overall good value for the money. A bit problematic communication as the host only speaks french. Tipical moroccan breakfast, nothing fancy."
"Kasbah is probably not the most ideal district of Marrakesh to stay."

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!"

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!"
Samer Le Gite du Barrage
"I had a wonderful experience in the desert. I stayed in a bivouac room, which was beautiful and comfortable in the middle of nature. 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."
"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"
