Reviews of Gîte Ait lmaalam chez Ahmed

Mohammed and Fatima are the most wonderful hosts. The place is basic, yet very beautiful, comfortable and authentic and has everything you need. We liked it better than many of the other places. The dinner was the best tajine we had and the breakfast at the lovely roof terrace was also delicious.

Welcoming family. Clean and spacious accommodation. Ahmed and his family welcomed us into their home like family. Ahmed's mother was very kind. His wife Fatima prepared nice dinner for us. We were very delighted with our stay at Chez Ahmed.

None

This place is simply amazing! Very very very clean, beautiful design - the best place in which we stayed during 10 days in Morocco. Fatima and Ahmed are lovely and tagine that Fatima cooked for us was also the best meal we’ve had during our trip. And we could eat it by the fireplace. Photos do not capture the beauty of this place - it is waaay better. Breakfast was expectional. If we ever come back to Morocco we would come again to Ahmed and Fatima with no doubt.

Nothing

Fatima was lovely, and did all that she could to provide a comfortable stay for us. The only issue was that it is out of town, on. adirt road which was tricky to navigate arriving in the evening.

Very beautiful house. Ahmed has a very good interior design taste and we felt treated very good both at dinner and at breakfast. There was heating in the room and hot water. The surroundings are very interesting and unique, being placed in a non-touristic area of the skoura Oasis.

Nothing

Thank you to the Ahmed family, they were very kind, when I arrived I was sick to my stomach and Fátima took care to make lunch and dinner especially for me, very tasty food. Very grateful for that. The room has everything you needed, very clean, Internet works very well. 5 stars. Thanks.

Bed very hard, could be more comfortable.

This hotel is so well done up, it’s really stylish and comfortable. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. The robes and slippers in the room were a lovely extra touch. The nearby palmeraie is beautiful too

An oasis of calm, tranquility and exceptionally kind and friendly hospitality. Fatima, Ahmed and their two children welcomed us with kindness and warmth, making us feel right at home from the start in this beautifully restored kasbah. The place is small and feels very exclusive. We were able to enjoy the whole place to ourselves when we arrived. Our bedroom joined on to a lovely little terrace where we drank our welcome tea and could star gaze and watch the sun rise in the morning in the palmery. The area around is truly special. Although it may take a little more effort to get here and it feels a little off the beaten track, it’s truly worth it. Think of an oasis of palm trees, crumbling Kasbahs all around and a beautiful pink mosque illuminated by the rising sun. The inn is situated in the heart of the palmery in a friendly, quiet little village just next to Skoura. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious with local goats cheese and a tasty omelette along with the usual Moroccan breakfast spread. Make sure to book dinner too as Fatima’s cooking is exceptional. At very short notice, Fatima was able to make a delightful pumpkin soup and the best vegetarian tagine of the trip along with some delicious beef for my meat-eating partner- all served beside a cosy, wood-burning fire. I had one of the best sleeps of the trip. The sheets and bed were lovely and comfortable and of an equal syandard to some luxury hotels I’ve stayed in. Definitely make the journey here to experience a tranquil stay in a little Moroccan village in the palmery. The quality of the service you receive is exceptional for the price paid.

We loved everything. Next time we would stay for longer and rent bikes to explore the palmery and all of the Kasbahs in the area.

We loved this little hotel. Basically two rooms that lead out onto a shared terrace. The owner Ahmed, trained in high end hospitality, is a delight and nothing is too much trouble. He is in no way intrusive but is always very anxious to give you a good stay. The breakfast was great and difficult to finish it was so big. We ate both evening meals there and they were excellent, cooked by his wife Fatima. We loved the location in the Palmeraie and the little hotel is surrounded by crumbling Kasbahs, dirt tracks and wonderfully friendly people going about their lives in this living Oasis. We were sorry to leave.

We really loved everything. There was tons of hot water at night from the wood fired tank but less so in the mornings when the shower was a bit more bracing. Ahmed has plans for solar heating in time and anyway it’s a small downside only to a fantastic place.

Chez Ahmed is top class.My room was spacious and clean.Sleep quality was excellent and there was plenty of hot water in the bathroom.Ahmed was very kind and helpful-even organising a guide called Foued to take me to various sights-including the Dadès Gorge-during the 3 days I stayed.Foued was a top class guide.Food was excellent also.I dined there every day-had couscous on Friday free of charge....Ahmed and Fatima are excellent cooks as well as being friendly,welcoming and helpful....Top marks....10 out of 10.

I loved everything about this excellent place.

With 20 years in the tourism industry, Ahmed's first hotel of his own reflects his years of experience. No detail is overlooked starting with Ahmed himself, who is a naturally warm, open, and friendly host, his well appointed and tastefully decorated rooms, his Instagram ready terrace, beautiful place settings, and delicious menu offerings. After many nights of tanjines, brochettes, and cous cous, his wife Fatima's special beef dish was a delicious and welcome alternative. Breakfast was very generous and delicious as well. Although an affordably priced guesthouse, it provides its guests with first class treatment with thoughtful details.

great outdoor spaces, fabulous food

very nice friendly people are renting the place

the way to the house is quite tought

The roof is very lovely, we had a campfire. The food was delicious. Ahmed was very friendly, helpful und thoughtful

This was the best place we stayed in Morocco! Ahmed and Fatima are fantastic, it was so interesting to chat to Ahmed, he is so relaxed and highly professional at the same time. Fatima cooked the best tajine we had in Morocco. The house is beautiful, the posh dining room.. then the very well decorated cozy room we stayed in had really good heating A/C, a comfortable bed with a cozy duvet, a well designed bathroom with hot water. Best WiFi we had in Morocco. The house is in a very quiet rural area which we loved. Beautiful view from the balcony. We put the GPS coordinates in and found it easily. Ahmed was outside the door to welcome us. We had tea in their beautiful garden. The breakfast was also amazing. There was free parking outside the door.

We really liked our stay, it was a Cosy place. Room was clean. Enough blackened to feel warm in winter. Recommend to stay here.

The location is challenging to find but totally worth it. Better arrive in daylight to find the place.

Ahmed, wife Fatima, children Younessef and Sara and his mother were so welcoming. Ahmed met as in town and led us to his historic home in the middle of the oasis. Fatima cooked a great supper for us with less than one hour's notice and also provided a big breakfast with home made crepe and bread. The guest house was huge, the bedroom warm with lots of hot water and the bed linen was very comfortable. This is a VERY special place that Ahmed has opened close to the Dar Ahlam hotel.

Ahmed and Fatima are very kind people. Fatima cooked an amazing beef for us even if we arrived late.

A bit cold

The accommodation was in a small village in a typical house near Skoura. Picturesque location. The food and stuff was excellent. The room has heating/AC. We met with the owner in downtown Skoura and followed him to the house. I recommend doing the same.

lovely remote village surrounded by old kasbah. the accommodation is simple but really comfortable and clean. Fatima and Ahmed are simply lovely and very welcoming. They know how to treat their guests to the higher standard.
