    It was quite far from the town. Difficult to find transport.

    The riad was nice and very basic. It is ok if you just want to relax and do nothing.

    It was a bit secluded so in order to get into the centre a taxi would need to be booked. The closest place to eat would be about a 20 minute walk. There wasn't a massive amount of hot water but due to the heat, the water was lukewarm which was fine as a hot shower would have been too much in that heat.

    The rooms was spacious, nice beds, good air conditioning and called ahead as taxis looked expensive and Khalid arranged a taxi both ways which was really useful! It was very peaceful and quiet and secluded. The plunge pool was cool and the food was good. Breakfast was breads, cheese and jams with fresh orange, yogurt and coffee or tea. Abdul asked what I would like for dinner and I had tagine, breads, moroccan salad and delicious fresh fruit. I couldn't complain about the food. Breakfast was included and dinner was 12 euros. Abdul was very accommodating and was always checking in! Khalid arranged any trips that you would like to do. I did a one day trip which was good! 2 or 3 night trips are also available to book.

    The location was fine for us but for anyone looking for a more touristy place it would perhaps be too quiet and remote. I would recommend renting a car if you want to do more by yourself, otherwise take one of the many wonderful excursions offered!

    The accommodation was very good value for money. The staff were amazing and so helpful. They were so friendly to us and helped us to get the very best out of our holiday. Jilly, Hassan and especially Khalid were amazing! The best hospitality!

    The night we stayed was very hot, and the AC wasn't cooling, which resulted in us not being able to sleep well.

    Property owner Hassan went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with warmth and friendliness, making us feel like part of his family. He took the time to show us around the property, sharing helpful tips about the area and local attractions. Throughout our stay, Hassan was always available to assist with any questions or concerns we had, demonstrating genuine care for our well-being. His thoughtful gestures, truly made us feel welcome and safe. It was evident that he takes great pride in being a host, and his hospitality significantly enhanced our experience.

    The place is not very easy to reach but it is reachable, the swimming pool is in the shade in the afternoon but since the quality of the service was great you will forget about that.

    The staff was friendly, helpful and made us feel like at home from our arrival to our departure. The place is wonderful, we felt like in a museum and we loved it

    The airport transfer was quite expensive and the property is quite remote and far from the town and shops etc. I didn't realise until we arrived how far out of town the Riad was which makes getting the petit taxis difficult, however if you are looking to spend more money they do offer trips and days out through the Riad - which means you dont have to faff with taxis etc!

    The Riad building and the interior decor is incredible - with lots of artefacts hanging on the walls - it's an experience just staying within those walls. Outside are palm groves and alfalfa fields which are pretty. The dinners they make are large and tasty! They helped us buy the correct sim card for our stay in Morocco and showed us where the cashpoint was - this was very helpful!

    the bathroom is too old and difficult to mix the hot water with the cold. the soap is they proposed is completely useless. very cold in January (of course). the breakfast is ok, nothing memorable compared to other places. it’s ok for 1 stop. the road and the neighborhood, especially arriving in the night, is not completely relaxing.

    Nice traditional riad old style riad. the common area are nice. just outside Ourzazate town. staff friendly.

    There was no shower curtain so as soon as anyone showers the whole bathroom floor is completely drenched. You basically have to borrow the mop and mop up after every shower.

    Loved it all.

    The property is super unique and authentically decorated. The team of staff take care of the space with a lot of love and care and one really feels at home staying there. The staff is exceptionally kind and the breakfast super yummy. The AC and pool are a bonus when travelling in hot weather. We also really enjoyed being next to the football field where the kids could play with local kids. And last but not least - we absolutely loved the home made chicken pastilla dinner the team prepared for us. It was the best one we had on our 2-week trip.

    We liked the people especially Jilly, Hassan & Abdul who was running around all day for us. The evening meal at 8.00pm was excellent as well as the breakfast 🥞🍳

    The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you , My wife needed dress to be repaired & Jilly asked Hassan if he would take her to the sewing man & without hesitation he took us in the car 🚗 to the sewing man where my wife got her dress repaired Hassan also collected the dress & it was a perfect fit & we thought that we were going to miss our pick up for the airport so Hassan said if that was the case he would take us to the airport they honestly couldn't do enough for us.
