From the moment I stepped into Dar Megdaz, I was transported into a world of beauty, warmth, and incredible hospitality. The ambiance is absolutely stunning, with traditional Moroccan decor that immediately makes you feel like you’re in a luxurious oasis. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, always ready with a smile and eager to ensure I had everything I needed. It’s clear they take great pride in what they do, and it really makes a difference. The food? Simply amazing! Every dish I tried was packed with flavor and authenticity. The blend of spices and fresh ingredients created a culinary experience I won’t soon forget. Whether you’re visiting for a special occasion or just looking to enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience, Dar Megdaz is the place to be. Highly recommend it!

For me, everything was great, accesability might be minus for some.

Megdaz itself is remote. But don't let that discourage you as this was one of the best experiance we had in Morocco. The host - Mohamed is incredibly friendy and the location itself is unique, as it is old Berber village deep in high Atlas. Food was great and you can have all the comfort of a civilization (wifi, hot water) deep in this natural paradise. The views are breathtaking and the whole place serene and peacefull. We steyed just for a night (and tour next day) but seriously considered staying here for longer. If you don't mind a little bit of adventure and a hike, ask Mohamed for a tour to waterfall(aprox 3h). I would recomend some better shoes, but int the end we managed in city shoes and sandals. And the waterfall is well worth it. Be warned, while the hotel itself is not acessible via car, which can be safely parked at the end of the road in the village, And a small anecdote, as we were leaving, one of us forgot a bag (with his passport and money) and Mohamed not only called us to let us know, he also took car and took it towards us. So thank you once again for saving us and really hope to see you and this place again.

That the 3 other sets of guests were just staying for 1 night and didn’t have enough time to enjoy the amazing location and visit the pools and waterfalls or hike with Mohammed..!

A little piece of paradise; incredible terrace views, wild swimming in natural pools, hiking to waterfalls, amazing breakfast and dinner.. 10/10 1) stay at least 2 nights 2) ask Mohammed for the guided tour to the pools and waterfalls.. 3) walk through the gorgeous gardens and chill on the terrace.. Megdaz is a 1000 year old Berber village high in the mountains, nestled in a stunning valley of stone terraces filled with fruit trees, crops and wild flowers.. Hidden away are the most incredible natural pools and waterfalls where you could easily spend a day sat by the side sunbathing and reading and having a refreshing dip or sit in the natural jacuzzi seats..easily the best I have ever been too, and for the more adventurous a hike to match back round the top of the valley with incredible views. Mohammed and his family are the most welcoming of hosts, the food is amazing and Mohammed is happy to tell you stories and explain the history of the village and the area. Went for one night, stayed for two, regret leaving 🤣

I didn't believe all the positive reviews at first - but I still decided to try Dar Megdaz and it did exceed my expectations. I immersed myself in living in the mountains. You sleep at 2000 altitude. Mohamed and his family are incredibly hospitable and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and pleasantly cold at night. You have enough blankets to sleep well. The shower is cold, so take it in the morning, not in the evening. Bring your shower gel and towel. The food seemed overpriced at the moment of booking, compared to other places. However, it did turn out to be the best food I've eaten in Morocco in a week. Maybe the views help but also at the altitude the food should taste more bland - I didn't feel that. The highlight of the breakfast was almond paste with argan oil. I loved it so much I asked Mohamed to sell me some. Also local butter is great but I can't describe it - you should try. The lunch was incredible as well, I loved tangia. I booked the lunch even though I had known that I wouldn't be hungry at that time. Hiking to the waterfalls using wikiloc is great. No one en route but beautiful nature. I also went to a nearby village of Imgiss as recommended by Mohamed. There I visited a widow with her daughter who have a lovely bunch of animals with whom I played. They offered mint tea, cottage cheese, cheese, home grown almonds and more. They didn't speak English but we still had a good time. On the way back, the grandma offered to walk back with me. She was outpacing me even though I had hiking boots and poles. The road through Atlas mountains to Dar Megdaz is incredible. I love fast driving on narrow mountainous roads, and I got there alright with Clio. The road is one lane wide for both directions and has a ton of holes and gravel patches. On top of that, a few shallow river crossings now in April. If you're not comfortable with risky driving, get a bigger car or drive slowly. You'll get there and will still enjoy the views.

Welcoming and friendly family! The town is very nice and calm, the surrounding landscape is beautiful and Mohamed is an amazing host willing to share insights into the life and customs of the people of Megdaz. We had a great time, learned a lot and enjoyed the great food.

We were a group of 4 friends crossing the High Atlas by foot! After we slept a few days in mountain shelters and caves we made it to Megdaz and it felt like heaven! Mohammed picked us up with a car and brought us to Dar Megdaz. And it was like heaven for us. Mohammed is such a nice person, he showed us around the village and explained us every part of Berber culture. His mother cooked for us and we had the most delicious food of all our Morocco trip. Mohammed and his family are so warm and friendly people! And the guest house was really beautiful, the terrace with a nice view and the comfy beds. If you come to the High Atlas, Dar Megdaz should be a priority on the list for you!

This stop has been one of the highlights of our trip. Mohamed and his family are very welcoming and take good care of the guests. The location is great, we did a hike before sunset and enjoyed all of the magnificent views in and around Megdaz. In the morning Mohamed showed us the town. Food was delicious.

Muhamed was an extraordinary host. He literally went the extra mile(s) as he took us on several hikes around the village and the beautiful landscape in the area. Sure, it's a bit on the primitive side for some, but at the ridiculously low price it is an absolute "must" for any adventurous spirit who want to experience Morocco "of the beaten track". As a family traveling with two teens we haven't found any other place in Morocco that compares with this. It was as educational and interesting as it was beautiful.

Absolutely amazing host. He was enormously helpful whenever we needed anything. He also took us on beautiful mountain walk for almost five hours to see the scenerious and meet the truly local people.

I had an excellent stay here. The property is lovely, Mohamed was super friendly and helpful. The village is stunning and I’d highly recommend walks in the surrounding mountains, it’s magical.

It is quite a hair-raising drive to get there, as the road was quite broken up in many places, so we recommend staying at least two nights. The facilities are also super basic, which is reflected by the price, so expect rustic home-stay type facilities. Go with an open mind and you'll have an incredible experience.

What a beautiful, unique village! It's like nothing we've ever seen before, fully made from red clay. Mohammed and his family are super warm and welcoming. This is the only guest house in this little mountain village, at the end of a road deep into the mountains. If you want to experience true Berber culture, without tourists, this is the place to go! The dinner portion was super generous, natural and delicious. The bread made by Mohammad's mother was honestly the best we tasted in Morocco! The sound of the animals at night was also so peaceful. We slept like babies. Highly highly recommend experiencing this incredible place!

The stay in Dar Megdaz was incredible. It is a unique experience in a small, beautiful village with lovely people where you get to know the real Morrocan/Berber life and their culture. Our host Mohamed and his family did everything to make our time as good as possible: tours around the village, hikes and full time food supply! They were there for us all the time. Rarely have we met someone this hospitable. 10/10
