Kasbah Africa

This hotel was mostly very good . The location is very good - it is nestled in a valley where you can easily walk down to the river and nearby Berber villages. The staff are all very friendly - offering us drinks upon arrival and taking our bags. The pool is large and plenty of Sun loungers for everyone. The food is also very good - although the menu is limited the amount quality of the food is good and there is a wide range of cakes, breads, cereals and omelettes for breakfast as well as drinks. The room prevents me from giving this hotel 5 stars - the bed was not overly comfortable and the air conditioning settings could not be changed and it didn’t seem very effective - which was important as we were there at the height of summer. The bathroom was also not great - the shower did not drain properly and the water from the tap sprayed you when you turned it on. However, in spite of these issues we would likely come back if we were to return to the area.

Had a fantastic day at this kasbar. Delious food, relaxing atmosphere surrounded by Atlas Mountains. Fantastic trip to Berber village with personal guide. Such a friendly place run by people who just want you to have the best time - and we did!

Kasbah Africa is quite simply magnificent. The location alone is enough for a five star review, the views of the valleys and mountains are simply stunning, and coupled with the comfort and luxury offered by this resort you won't be disappointed with your stay. During the whole of the stay we felt more like family than guests, and both Sofiane and Ashraf provided a welcome and service that was second to none. Caesar the dog was a constant companion, along with all the other resident animals including cats, tortoises and a donkey, who provided company, but were so well behaved as to not annoy. The local walks to the nearby Berber villages provided a unique insight into the local lifestyle and customs, and all of the villagers were so friendly and welcoming. The food on offer was delicious, and as vegetarians there wasn't anything the staff wouldn't do to cater for us, adding inventive options to the menu to make sure we had something different every day. I could write more, but I'd be here all day.

A brilliant stay from start to finish. Great service, peaceful setting, very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend doing a day hike into a local village to experience some of the culture and see some beautiful views.

Fantastic staff, accommodation and location. Built on the side of the valley so you must be able to manage steps, but this means you have lovely views and privacy in your rooms. The location is quiet, but you can walk into the valley directly from the garden of the hotel. Very nice view from the swimming pool, and shade if you want to avoid too much sun. We followed a guide provided by the hotel to see a local Berber village. A wonderful welcome including sharing some bread just freshly made on a charcoal oven outside. If you like walking and tranquility and great value quality accommodation this is a great choice.

The star of our visit was Sofiane and his team who provided us and our fellow guests with fantastic customer service. The views from the site are tremendous and from the second you walk on to the site there is a feeling of relaxation and calmness. The food in the restaurant was great with a selection of local food, which we found really interesting and tasty. Salal was extremely helpful. Sitting by the pool is relaxing with great views and the gentle sound of the water in the stream, below. Two of our group did the cooking course which they thoroughly enjoyed and the results were excellent as well. I did a two hour guided walk up to to the Berber village of Tikhfist with Mohamed, who was an excellent experienced guide who provided great insight of the local vegetation and assessed my fitness to provide a walk that was ideal and matched to my pace. Ah, the dogs, there are 4 of them and 2 accompanied us on one of our walks up the valley, they we great company. The dogs are well behaved and are welcoming to guests, if guests feel uncomfortable with the dogs, Sofiane and the team will recognise this and ensure that the dogs are kept away, as appropriate. There a couple of downsides, which are outweighed by the positives. As there we four of us, we stayed in the Berber Cottage—it really could use redecorating and brought up to the standard of the rest of the site. As we were staying immediately after Ramadan and alcohol supplies were limited, the only beer available was a craft beer from Spain, with a local label, this was expensive at Dhs 90/can—I am sure a wider and less expensive range is normally available. All in all if you want to stay in a tranquil setting with an abundance of stars, excellent customer service, good food and breathtaking walks through a picturesque valley then I would highly recommend Kasbar Africa
