Amayour Surf Hostel

The Amayour surf package was very good value for money. The stay at the mountain lodge resort was very peaceful and relaxing as well as the food being top notch in regards to taste and variety. Brown, the host was unbelievable and couldn't do enough for you, he is a credit to the lodge.

- Had a really lovely week - Breakfast and dinner were delicious - Cozy rooftop with great views - Excellent surf instructors - Social and relaxed atmosphere - All staff and guests were great people - Long surf sessions/beach time with lunch pack - Simple rooms in clean house with cozy bed - Perfect locations in Taghazout - Yoga class available in the mornings - Everything else well-organized

I booked 4 nights at the mountain lodge but checked out early on day 4 after enduring 3 days of cold showers. Despite reporting the issue on day 1, it was never properly fixed. An engineer came on day 2, but we only had 5 minutes of hot water before it went cold again. On day 3, no one came despite our complaints, and by day 4, I left. Instead of offering a sincere apology, the manager (Shiraz) claimed the issue was "out of her control" and refused a refund, only removing the 4th night from my bill "as a gesture of goodwill." The lodge was also dirty and not cleaned daily. Dead cockroaches laid around for days. The bathroom smelled like sewage, and considering that you can’t flush toilet paper, it was unacceptable that bins weren’t emptied daily. Despite the remote location, it was also noisy at night with barking dogs, crowing roosters from 4 AM, and goats. Additionally, you’re forced to use the lodge's taxi service, which charges double the regular fare, making it difficult to get around. The WiFi signal was terrible, constantly dropping every few minutes. On a positive note, the chef was excellent, tailoring meals to suit all dietary needs, and the best part of the stay was Brown, the host, who was warm and attentive. However, despite these positives, I wouldn't recommend the lodge as better value can be found elsewhere.

I had the chance to have a wonderful stay with my friend from September 11 to 15 at the Ayamour hostel. What was very special about Ayamour is the fun and pleasant atmosphere, you really feel like you're on vacation and disconnecting. A big thank you to Charlotte and the whole team, you're the best! Can't wait to come back next year for surfing, yoga and especially your meals :)

Absolute amazing trip! The staff was excellent, really hospitable! Would really recommend, will be back soon! The food was amazing, the villa was really clean - being up in the mountains is so nice. The yoga in the mornings is a great way to start the day!

We had the most perfect stay up on the mountain retreat, we were so well looked after, amazing food you would not believe how delicious and how much there was! Lovely yoga in the mornings, we didn't surf this time but the group who went out each day came back beaming with faces full of sun and laughter. We had the lovely twin ensuite room which was perfect for myself and my daughter. loved sitting in the shade on the terrace watching the goats, donkeys, world going by, reading and chilling by the gorgeous pool. Felt like such a treat and would highly recommend going here for a really active time or to completely chill like we did.
