Berber Family Lodge

I cannot speak highly enough about this place. If you are seeking an authentic experience in the Atlas Mountains, this is the place to book. The rooms are clean, the staff is lovely, and the energy is out of this world. Let me not even start with the surroundings - it is unbelievably beautiful, and your stay will be unforgettable. We also forgot our passports and only realized when we were 4 hours away. They phoned us and drove all the way to Marrakesh to drop them off for us before we were heading back home. I will forever remember this place ❤️

Peaceful, genuine and charming lodge with amazing food and possibilty for trekking. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very kind and service-minded. The location is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit a more quite part of Morocco.

My wife and I visited the Berber Family Lodge for our honeymoon. They went above and beyond to make our stay, and that of all the other guests, an incredible experience. Mohamed, our host, was very communicative and helpful. He organised us a driver from Marrakech airport to take us to his village, Abersioul, where the lodge is located. As we arrived at night, he even helped us to carry our suitcases up to the village, and then prepared us tea to enjoy on our balcony as we watched the stars. Mohamed and Latifa permitted us to use their family fridge to store a few things we had brought (medical & food), which was so kind of them. The food they prepared for meals was incredible - breakfast was freshly made bread with local honey, jam, and peanut butter. Due to my wife’s health requirements, they also provided her with fruit - bananas & avocados - again, going the extra mile to help us! The tagines that Latifa (Mohamed’s wife) and Radija (Mohamed’s mother) prepared for dinner were delicious. They also offered a cooking class which we enjoyed thoroughly. One of the heroes of the trip was Hasan, Mohamed’s cousin, who helps to run the lodge. He was always present for us, providing us with water on request, and even going to Imlil to collect a souvenir one of the other guests wanted. Hasan and Mohamed even brought us a portable stove to use in the spare kitchen for a day when we cooked our own meal! Mohamed helped us organise tours for treks and visit to local markets. The guides were brilliant; competent and knowledgeable. It was a 40-60 minute fairly gentle trek along lovely winding mountain trails to Imlil, which we throughly enjoyed. The view was magical. It looks even better than in the photos. The night sky was one of the clearest I had also ever seen, perfect for stargazing. But it was our hosts who made this trip the most incredible experience. We highly recommend staying at the Berber Family Lodge and visiting this beautiful part of the world! Thank you so, so much for everything!

A wonderful place to stay. I look forward to going back for a longer stay. We stayed 4 nights. The rooms were excellent. The staff was outstanding. They were very helpful in arranging guides, showing us walking trails and arranging transportation to and from Imlil. The breakfasts and dinners were excellent.
