Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Beautiful riad in the Medina. Our room was spacious, comfortable and authentic. Breakfast and dinner were fabulous. Most importantly were the services provided by the manager and staff - professional, friendly, great suggestions on activities. This riad was definitely a highlight of our stay in Fes.

Location was excellent. The staff were pleasant and extremely helpful.

A small, charming hotel that was managed impeccably in every way. The two brothers running the hotel were efficient, personable, and saw to every detail. The food we had there was the best we had in Morocco.

Our guide, Souhel, gave us a wide range of Moroccan foods we hadn't had anywhere else, showing us the kitchens in the Medina as they were cooking, and explained the processes involved. His choices were all tasty and authentic. Souhel was more than just a good guide and historian, he was a true ambassador of Marrakech and Morocco.

Sharif was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He has a thorough sense of history. He guided us through the maze of the medina, making us feel like we'd seen the most important and interesting aspects and was very responsive to our questions and interests.

We booked a twin room. It came with a queen bed and lounge which was used as the 2nd bed. Not much space on the lounge. Noisy location ( can hear what’s going on outside and inside the Riad) the walls aren’t that thick it seems. The staff wonderful. The breakfast not as good as others. Our door couldn’t be locked properly. The rooftop lovely. Would appreciate a standing Fan in the room. I wouldn’t stay here again. Sheets clean

The location of this property is stunning scenically though it takes 30 minutes of walking on a dirt/ rocky road to get there. It’s an ideal property for those who are fit and go to imlil for trekking up the mountain. It’s definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Unfortunately this Riad wasn’t suitable for our group. Donkeys/Mules are require to transfer your luggage. The food here was hearty and delicious.

Beautiful. Very special Riad. Stunning!!!

Gorgeous rooms, spacious, soo much artwork and creativity put into this Riad. The owner so genuine and wonderful host

We went to some great spots though we didn’t have any dessert. We walked a lot but didn’t try as much food as was expected.

Brilliant your guide. Enjoyed going through the Jewish quarter .

Must go early ( first thing) in the day as it gets busy. A must do experience. A highlight of the trip. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humour ( which suits Australians humour)

This wasn’t done as we arrived at different times in the country and we booked another company for a half-day tour

We expected to be cooking food with the family. The itinerary stated that we would be going to the market with the family, selecting food to cook then learning and participating in cooking the food. This didn’t happen. We arrived and were given food by the family and the family joined us in eating it. It wasn’t a cooking class. We enjoyed spending time with this family and had some amazing food though it was very dissapointing that it wasn’t a cooking class as was booked.

My favourite hotel on my trip to Morocco. The location is wonderful, close to the heart of Chefchaouen and all it's shopping, dining and the main square. The aesthetics of the hotel was on point and the rooms were a dream to look at. It truly made us feel a sense of whimsy and delight with bright colours and detailed finishings used. The food was absolutely delicious as we had breakfast each day and a dinner one night overlooking Chefchaouen. I will definitely return to this hotel - the staff were kind, caring and very attentive to our needs.

Great location and very enjoyable stay for us.

It was nice to have two nights in a regular hotel as a contrast to the lovely riads other nights. This was a lovely property.

An oasis of quiet in a bustling medina.

The location was first rate. It helped to be close to the gate and also close to access the medina which was much easier to manage than some of the larger city's medinas.

We wished we could have spent more time here. Our dinner was the best of our entire vacation. It was indeed a wonderful experience.

We stayed here on our final night before departing. The hotel was beautiful, and the room was spacious and very accommodating. I especially loved the large bathtub, which was a wonderful treat after a two‑week trip. We spent our last day relaxing by the pool after touring the incredible mosque, which was a perfect way to unwind. While the pool service could have been a bit quicker and our dining experience at the outdoor restaurant was average, the stay overall was comfortable and a nice way to end our journey.

I wish I could remember the name of the manager who was so kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, he truly made breakfasts and dinners feel special. Every member of the staff was fantastic, and the meals were absolutely amazing. I especially loved taking a few peaceful walks behind the hotel along the river. Seeing the locals tending to their gardens and graciously welcoming me as I strolled through was a truly memorable and authentic experience.

The staff here were so friendly! Everyone that we encountered truly wanted to make our experience special and memorable. So many smiles!! Our tent/room was comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend staying 2 nights. The guided day trip in the area to visit with Nomads and look for fossils was a highlight of the trip.

Highlight of my trip!

Ilyace was hands down one of the highlights of my entire trip! Having a private driver for nearly two weeks was such a treat. From beginning to end, he was incredibly helpful, informative, fun, and genuinely engaging. His 12 years of experience really showed and made me feel completely at ease on the road. We traveled more than 1,650 miles together! I would highly recommend specifically requesting Ilyace as your driver for your Morocco adventure. Saying goodbye at the end was truly hard, as it felt like I had made a new friend.

Quiet and personal, this is the perfect setting for contemplative enjoyment of Ait Ben-Haddou.

Beautiful site on top of a hill overlooking the blue city of Chef. . Wish we had stayed longer to use all the amenities and take in the beauty of the area. * one should know there are a mandatory 159 steps to the reception area of the hotel. We have heard a rumour that the staff will carry chairs of less able walkers.

Our room was authentic yet unique. The riad and pool added such a gorgeous flavor. Service was above any expectations and we were so pleased.

Our local guide was so kind! The only thing I would change would be to go to different places, maybe on the road less traveled that way the experience feels a pit more genuine.

Chef Miriam was terrific. She was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging.

Absolutely beautiful Riad inside of the Medina. Beautiful location, the owners were very friendly and welcoming. Beautifully designed and decorated

Beautiful Riad located inside the Medina of Marrakech. Staff was very accommodating and friendly

This is a beautiful hotel, so beautifully designed and decorated. The location is superb as it offers a beautiful view of Dades Valley.

This camp is insane!! Luxury in the desert. Beautifully designed tents, very authentic with a big focus on local amazigh culture and artisans.

This Riad was one of my favorites from the trip. It was conveniently located right outside of the Medina. Staff went above and beyond.

Simple but beautiful Riad. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Everyone was very accommodating.

This was another lovely drive where we saw so many amazing things.

Loved everything about Marrakech. Such an amazing city.

We loved all the different foods, smells and tastes

This was another great trip. We saw so much and learned so much.

We loved this part of the trip so much. It was astonishing to watch the transition from the desert to the mountains.

It was so much fun!!

There are not enough words to describe this amazing experience. Absolutely breathtaking.

This was a long drive but Hamza made it very enjoyable and a fun experience., He stopped at great photo opportunities, safe restaurants and was wonderful to talk with.

It was so interesting and intriguing to see, smell and taste all the different foods.

Fes was amazing. So full of energy and life.

Our tour guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining everything.

Super cute city. Easily walkable

Overall good

A mixture of roughing it, and having all the luxuries you need… Very friendly team that took care of us thoughtfully

An amazing place… Every surface and every material was amazing… Beautiful location… Super friendly staff…

Beautiful, tranquil, Elegantly, decorated, and great service, as well… Breakfast and dinner were excellent and served in a beautiful way…

Trip of a lifetime to ride camels in the Sahara desert

An enjoyable day of seeing the highlights of Marrakesh

Even though we did the tour doing an incredible heavy downpour of rain, the food was great and it was an exciting experience… We wandered through the old town and had some delicious food

This hotel is a little gem nestled in a beautiful oasis valley. The service and food were excellent. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent hotel. Absolutely top rate service, decor and experience. I cannot rate it highly enough!!

This day with locals was wonderful -- a highly of our trip. Sitting down and getting to know a local family in their home was amazing. I highly recommend this activity.

Absolutely wonderful hospitality and care! Delicious, generous breakfast every day! Helpful suggestions to enjoy the area.

The staff here really made us feel special. We felt such warmth and hospitality from the moment we arrived. The view from the rooftop is amazing too!

Our guide, Hassania was so well informed and personable. Her warmth and good humor even outshined her obvious depth of knowledge and skill of communication. We wanted to take her with us!

Great location, beautiful hotel right on the water.

Super-cool spot in the medina, a short walk to the water. The only potential downside is that there is no A/C, so you needed the windows open for cool, fresh air, but the bustle of activity in the square continued throughout the night. Just bring a fan or use a "noise" app on your phone to drown it out easily.

Great location, beautiful building, friendly staff- who could ask for more?

Such a pretty Kasbah, in a beautiful location. Staff was amazing, the rooms were lovely.

Really liked this place, but it was not our favorite on this trip. The rooms were beautiful, but the restaurant was mid. Also, there were dogs that were barking all night, which interrupted our sleep. Not sure if they were a part of this camp or another, but it was annoying, all the same.

This place was probably my favorite place to stay on Morocco. It was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was beyond wonderful. The breakfast spread was nothing short of amazing.

Great little riad in Chefchaouen. Quiet spot,

Beautiful hotel, only stayed one night, but it definitely set the tone for and amazing trip.

Lunch at the wharf was very casual. We thought it was going to be in a restaurant, but it turns out that you pick a spot, right nerar the water, select your seafood and have it cooked for you while you eat at picnic tables. It was a great experience, just not what we were expecting. Essaouira is more than fresh seafood. There are amazing sunsets from the beach, the medina is cute and manageable (but get most of your shopping done in Fez and Marrakech). Our favorite part was a bit serendipitous. We went for a late morning walk to the wharf, and just kept following it down to the end, and were able to watch the hustle and bustle of the fishing boats coming in and unloading their bounty. The controlled chaos was delightful to watch.

Hicham, our tour guide was, again, incredibly knowledgeable. The city is amazing and it's history is too. His tour gave us a nice lay of the land, which was helpful for the following day, which was a free day, for us to wander around town at our own pace. One night we walked to the new part of Marrakech and had a great time. We had some fantastic dinners in this city.

This was another long day of driving. Fortunately, there were some stops to help break it up. Ait Ben Haddou was interesting, and had some beautiful views, but was kind of unremarkable. The rose cooperative was neat, but I imagined we'd see more fields of roses, considering we were there in peak season. We also made a quick stop at Atlas studios, but did not go in for the tour, it most mostly a chance to stretch our legs. Driving through the high Atlas mountains and seeing the geography change so completely again was great.

I wasn't sure how to feel about this day, but I am so glad we had this opportunity. We started the day meeting up with another tour group from the same company and headed out to a local market to pick veggies for our couscous meal with the family. After that, we had a short tour of the area. Then we went to the family's house. There we were treated to a variety of local delights and a delicious meal. We also learned a bit more about the local culture. The family was wonderful- so kind and welcoming.

Another great day driving, with many stops/ sight to see. The fossils collective in Erfoud had some amazing pieces of fossil art. We stopped at a roadside shop where we tried on native Amazigh clothing and took pictures in them. The family that owned the store was so warm and welcoming. They even let my husband lead a little jam session after he saw an electric guitar sitting in the store. The whole family got involved! Next was the tour of the old village if Tighir (excuse any misspelling). Our guide there was again, fantastic. After that, a stop at the women's rug collective, then an absolutely incredible (and huge) lunch. Next was the Gorge, which was a cool little trek. It was great to see all of the families picnicking alongside it.

LONG travel day (about 10 hours from start to finish. Had lots of stops, so it kept things interesting.

It was great to learn about the history of Fez and to see the old Medina, souks. The sight s and sounds were everything I had hoped for. Our riad was the most incredible place and the service was outstanding. Dinner and a show at the Palais de Medina was a treat.

Meknes is currently closed, due to renovations, but Volubulis was fantastic.

We did not make it to the waterfall, unfortunately, due to the trail being flooded from snow-melt. It was a bummer, but we were able to hike to the God's Bridge, which was a beautiful hike.

Once we got settled in, we headed to the Spanish Mosque to see the sunset. This provided a great view of the city.

It was great to see the changes in geography from one place to another. For all of the long drives, Rachid stopped every 1.5-2 hours for a pit-stop. The places he selected throughout the trip were clean and well-maintained.

Hassania, our guide was fantastic. The tour was informative and interesting. We covered a lot of ground in a short time, but it didn't feel rushed. The mausoleum was breath-taking.

Quick and easy. Rachid was ready and waiting for us when we got through customs. Communication was easy, as we texted via WhatsApp, so we kept him apprised of our progress once we landed.

Great place to end our trip! Suite gave us room to spread out and organize our stuff, amenities included in room coffee and tea, minibar and large closet with iron. Huge bathroom suite provided bathrobes and slippers, plus there was a half bath. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed spending time on the double balcony overlooking the pool. Included breakfast buffet had wide variety of sweet and savory items, lunch and dinner menus were also extensive and all items were delicious. There is also a bar which also provides service to the pool.

Very interesting place, local guide Hatima (sp?) was born there and took me to her former home! She knew a lot of the ancient and more recent history, and took me to great photo opportunity sites, even took some photos of me.

Guide was good but felt I didn't get a sense of the Medina other than the 2 shops (clothing & leather/tannery - which was interesting) where we went. Granted it was raining and maybe there weren't open air stalls there but would have liked to have seen more. The clothing shop, Maison du Kaftan, was wildly overpriced - a shirt I was originally quoted for at MAD 1600 and for which I paid 800 MAD I later saw in Marrakech for 200 MAD. I understand I didn't have to buy it but want to put out a buyer beware warning as this was early in our trip, we were tired, not familiar with currency conversion nor what things cost. Good think I like the shirt!
