We just had a great 1 night stay at ferme by ikalimo with our family of 4 (including a 2 and a 5 year old). The staff were great, very helpful, location was lovely in the valley near the river and the on-site animals and playground provided the kids much enjoyment. The food was very good also - we had a lovely tagine. There are a lot of stairs being on a valley side but the staff will carry your bags to help. The family room was lovely and very comfortable, would definitely recommend.

We had a few communication difficulties, if the personnel would have spoken a bit more English it would have been a 10/10

Great views, in the nature, comfortable rooms with heating

There was nothing - we only would have liked to stay longer!

This was a beautiful stay in the mountains to see Ourika valley for us, I can't recommend highly enough! We were a group of 2 couples and drove from Marrakech. Abdul and his team were amazing - they were attentive, kind and friendly and made everything easy for us during our stay. He is a brilliant host and rightly proud of Ourika. The food was great and the whole stay was great value for money. The photos don't do the property justice - we chose to stay at the mountain riad and were very happy with this.

I felt the animals weren’t looked after very well. The goats, donkey, cow and 2 little ponies seemed to be locked in the stables. Horse rides were offered but the ponies were miniatures and not for riding. There were far too many birds in the small pens. A shame as there is potential. Maybe employing someone that loves animals would help as the donkey was pulled around without much kindness. There was a large group staying at the hotel making g loads of noise and banging on each other’s doors and being extremely loud until 1.20am when we had a 7 am start in the morning. Obviously this doesn’t reflect on the service or hotel but ruined our stay.

The location was beautiful and the large room was lovely!

This is the perfect place to stay if you have children. It is a little paradise, with on-demand activities for all, including pottery making, horse riding, cooking classes and many more, as well as wonderful play areas and of course all the animals. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable and the staff are so incredibly warm and friendly. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Lots of activities for the kids. Delicious food

As I’ve mentioned before the hotel is on a mountainside so there’s a lot of stairs. However I still manage it although I am disabled because Abdou always helps me with luggage and everything- however this hotel is not suitable for wheelchair users. The one thing I wish the hotel would invest in is a swimming pool. They have a children’s pool at the bottom of the mountain but I’d love to see an adult pool near to the rooms- it’s the one thing I miss when I stay there.

I love Ferme by Ikalimo. It’s just so quiet and peaceful. It’s a beautiful hotel which is covered in lush gardens on a mountain side. The food is really fantastic and there are lots of different activities to try- some free, others paid for, so you won’t get bored here. However what really makes the Ferme so great are the fantastic staff led by Abdou. Nothing is too much trouble and they give fantastic service. On this stay I actually wasn’t very well as I’d got a cold so the staff checked on me to make sure that I was ok and whether I needed anything. Service that goes above and beyond.

The property has lots of steps as it’s on a mountainside. However as I’m disabled Abderrahim always ensures that I’m driven to a slightly easier entrance (although still lots of steps). The staff always carry the luggage and do everything possible to ensure the steps aren’t too much of a problem. That said it probably isn’t suitable for anyone using a wheelchair. Although it’s not a negative - from a personal point of view I wish there was a swimming pool and then it would be totally perfect!

Beautiful property set on a mountain side in the Atlas Mountains. However what really makes this property stand out are the staff who always go the extra mile to ensure a great stay- in particular Abderrahim and Soufaine who are really friendly, helpful and professional. The food may be a little more expensive than at other places but it’s really high quality and I highly recommend the cheesecake!!!! A really good place to chill and get away from the stress of every day life!

The only thing that has been mentioned by others is that there are a lot of steps in the property as it’s on a hillside. However the staff do everything they can to assist. I’m disabled but Abderrahim helped me with my luggage and ensured I had a room which involved the fewest steps possible. Once I’d arrived I didn’t not find the steps problematic - it just meant there were certain areas, like the farm itself, that I didn’t visit because I didn’t fancy doing all the steps - however this really dishrag affect my enjoyment of my stay. It’s a lovely spot- so quiet and peaceful.

The hotel is situated in a beautiful position on a hillside in the Ourika Valley. The rooms are good as is the food and there are plenty of activities at Ferme Ikalimo which of course include the farm but also pottery, bread making etc. However the thing that really makes this stay special are the staff. Abderrahim and his team go all out to make your stay memorable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are friendly and helpful, an exceptional group of staff, especially Abderrahim.

If you are not able to climb steps, this is not the place for you. The steps are MANY....that is not an exaggeration. Once we left our room to go down to eat and explore we packed a backpack so that we didn't have to return until it was time to retire. (They did bring our dinner UP, which was nice). If you can walk up steps I recommend this, but just know for elderly this may be a stretch. Shower was broke, but we had two connecting rooms so we were okay.

Our room was lovely, the staff is fantastic, and the food on the premises was delicious and reasonable. We were there during a school function (children there for the farm) and got to enjoy a potter and all the farm animals. We loved our stay and the restaurant and sitting areas were comfortable and inviting. This is the kind of place you go to and stay for the day, not really go back out and explore the area. Only the area of the farm, river, and nearby souk.

Service, food, amneties and the views

The stairs :(. It’s not bad but it is not ideal with families with younger kids. I would say if you have kids under the age of 5, reconsider staying there. The accessibility makes it harder for younger kids. There is also no menu for kids. This is not necessarily a bad thing if your kids are not picky eaters.

The room was big for our family of 4. The staff was exceptional. Abdou and his team made our stay so comfortable

It was the cutest place we have ever been, like a fairytale. With polite and helpful staff, stunning views and brilliant facilities! We loved the animals and enjoyed making pots and having a private Hammam. Arriving we crossed a little bridge into the restaurant, we were treated so well and the food was delicious homemade. We are vegetarian food that was fresh! Aubergine salad and lentils were amazing! The manager Abdul was kind and accommodating! We will be coming back!

Be prepared to cross a river and climb a hill - although the staff are happy to help carry your luggage.

The staff are amazing, the views are awesome and the breakfast was the best we had in Morocco
