    I've never received such warm hospitality anywhere I've stayed. Ahmed & his brother made it feel like we were staying with family. The Kasbah is beautiful, the breakfast & the food were delightful. I'd highly recommend

    Fantastic hosts and very atmospheric 500-year old building with lots of artwork done by the owners brother (who was there while we were). Our room had a balcony with an extraordinary view of the mountains and valley. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. We also liked being away from the busyness of Ait Ben Haddou and had dinner in a restaurant nearby and went for a hike from the hotel along the river.

    The bedroom wasn’t that comfortable and things like towels and sheets were very worn. Probably not a great place for folks with mobility issues as you have to walk down an uneven path to get there. But these were relatively minor complaints in a stay that was memorable and I would recommend a stay here.

    This is the second time I stay here. The two brothers that own the place are amazing hosts. The food you eat here is unmatched, being home made by the owner’s wife who is an amazing cook. I can’t recommend this place enough, for the accommodation and the food. Looking forward to my next trip next year!!

    Everything was spot on

    Fantastic location with wonderful hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Asdine & Armed have been the best hosts on our trip, so far - incredibly friendly and entertaining - everything comes from their heart. Lovely views & very peaceful at night. I highly recommend!

    The rooms are a little dark, but mostly due to heavy curtains, which can be opened for light.

    Very special place: ancient, hidden, with amazing views from the terraces. The brothers made us feel very welcome, and especially the dinner was amazing. Nice short walk to quiet Tamdakhte or short drive to busy Ait Benhaddou.

    Location was great. A short distance from the very touristy main street of Ait Benhaddou which was great. Overlooks river valley with amazing views. Staff was terrific. Highly recommend this Riad.

    No problems during this stay.

    The accommodation is very well-kept, with a splendid terrace. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, but we had a great time. The owner is very kind and, before leaving, he gave us advice for a visit that turned our trip around!

    From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt very well looked after by our host and his family. The offer a 3 course evening meal (€12 per head) and we are so pleased we accepted this as it was authentic and delicious. Really fun building with great history. Was a great place to stay.

    It was all fabulous

    Kasbah du Peintre is stylish, comfortable and has a welcoming family atmosphere. Ahmed and Bendra were very friendly hosts. It’s furnished in traditional style with rugs, cushions and amazing paintings by Bendra. The views from the balcony of the mountains and the birdsong in the morning were wonderful.

    Wonderful stay at Azin and Achmed! They manage a secretly nested guesthouse not far from Ait Ben Haddou. Extremely welcoming, good kitchen, hot water and huge terraces on the heavenly gardens along the river. They helped packing our ceramics dedicating us a lot of their time. Do not hesitate!!

    Location is gorgeous, ancient house in a very quite village. The owners and the staff were super kind and we had a great dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend to anyone who is traveling from Marrakesh to Merzouga and want to visit Ait Ben Haddodou and the valley around there

    The stay was magical. The owner brothers gave us such great hospitality. They were accommodating and personable. Everything about this place was so special! Our family believes our experience staying here was as good as visiting Ait Ben Haddou.

    Quirky, artsy, spacious, interesting, fantastic, large Kasbah in a great place of vantage, run by two genuine, friendly, interesting and extremely hospitable souls. This was one of the highlights of my trip. Ahmed and Azedine (forgive me if I got that wrong) were so so welcoming, full of interesting conversation, and made us feel at home. We got dinner and breakfast there, which were simple, but I enjoyed both. The various balconies and terraces are great places to enjoy the sun, and the great views. You have to park on a corner outside a garage on the road, and then trek down to the house, but if you contact them first, they have someone come take the luggage down for you. I loved everything about this place. The WiFi also worked very well. Room was massive, the house was a charm

    Nothing negative to be honest. I always feel like there could be a little more for breakfast in Morocco, but they were as good as any others.

    Kasbah du Peintre was something out of this world, with the beautiful paintings, the amazingly tasty food and the friendly owners - we felt like a part of the family. The Kasbah is located in a very beautiful and quiet neighborhood, close to Ait Ben Haddou and Ourzazate. We had our 1,5 year old toddler with us and he enjoyed it just as much as we did. We definitely recommend this place to everyone and if we ever happen to be in the neighborhood again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for the amazing experience!

    We liked everything.
