The staff is nice and helpful. I liked the welcome food and drink, it was delicious. You may also enjoy the time at the rooftop with cozy and beautiful settings. Added that you must try the peanut butter during breakfast, I love it so much.

Loved our stay here, incredible comfortable with a home stay feel with a lovely family. They sorted out an overnight for us in Azilane and even made us a free lunch to take for the hike! We didn't hesitate in booking an extra night for when we got back. Another highlight was breakfast on the terrace looking over beautiful mountain and medina views - highly recommend!

Quite noisy in medina as no soundproofing. Just something to be mindful of.

Great location within the medina and a classic Dar. Wonderful food cooked by the friendly staff. They arranged guide Ali to give me a day tour and hike to Spanish Mosque, I would highly recommend him. My heater wasn't working well in the Blue Room, but staff promptly moved me to a room that air con was working.

Lovely accommodation on a beautiful blue street in the heart of the Medina!! We were warmly welcomed and well looked after throughout our stay. Would highly recommend :)

Some things need repair and renovation.

The beautiful family of Achmed, Amina, Yousef and Somaya. The beautiful work of the riad. The location. The breakfast.

The bathrooms are really small (found it a bit difficult to move around) but I guess this is standard for properties in Chefchaouen. Also, unfortunately, electricity went out in the morning during our stay (apparently electricity was down in all of Chefchaouen without any prior notice), although this is not the fault of the property (Ahmed's wife still managed to serve us nice breakfast without electricity). Nevertheless, this will not stop us from staying in this property again.

Ahmed and his wife are very nice hosts. You are treated with lovely Moroccan tea on arrival. We contacted Ahmed on our way to Chefchaouen and he sent his son to help us with the car park (paid 20MAD for one-night for the parking). Prepare to walk uphill with few stairs, which was fine for us but some might struggle. The Dar is located right on top of the one of the most photographed place in Chefchaouen (Callejon El Asri), with plenty of shops all within walking distance. Nice views from the rooftop terrace.

The stairs leading up to the dar. Two other guests hired someone to carry their luggage up. I only had a backpack, but it was heavy. I was unable to do the stairs with it on my back (no handrails and stairs are uneven) and it was awkward and a bit time consuming to lug it up step by step. Luckily, you only arrive with luggage once! Just be prepared. Many dars in Chefchaouen have similar issues. There were stairs all over the medina, but no problem if you are not carrying luggage (and no knee problems).

The location in general was good, but the stairs to reach it were a surprise (and challenge). Great views from the terrace and rooftop. There was plenty of hot water and decent wifi. The decor is nice and It was very clean. It got cold at night, but the heat system was good. Everything was walkable from the dar though half the medina is climbing uneven stairs up and down. Amina was a sweetheart. Her breakfasts were good with some variations each day (she makes her own bread!).

The proprietor and proprietress were incredibly gracious and kind. We were served a much-too-big breakfast every day and the hosts’ two children were charming and delightful. The WiFi was good and the room was cozy and comfortable. The riad is located up a scenic flight of blue steps in Chefchaouen not far from the Kasbah.

For some people the property was higher up so lots of steps. Also, the room was small so 2 bigger people may find it awkward to share.

Very nice, traditional Dar. Nice family with a good breakfast.

Rooms a little small but that is typical for Chefchaouen.

Ahmed and Amina were wonderful hosts. Felt just like family. Decor is colorful, quaint Moroccan, impeccably clean. Amina made great breakfasts every morning and even washed and folded some of our clothes for a very reasonable fee. Ahmed helped us get acclimated to Chefchaouen the first night by taking us down to the main square and he found a great driver to take us to Casablanca airport. Highly recommend!

Stayed in January 2024

Small rooms if traveling with much luggage, but worth it to stay in Medina. Lots of steps!

Kindness and helpfulness of Amina, Ahmed and their lovely children. Views of the city from the terrace. Traditional breakfast. Welcome tea in afternoons. Response to any problems.

Nothing

Everything! A beautiful family run Riad, Ahmed and his wife could not do enough for us. The roof terrace is stunning and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. We were invited to eat with the family it was delicious, we felt very honoured. Hopefully we will go back.

In my bathroom I had pipe smell problems.

I liked my stay at Dar Aldea. I stayed 3 nights. The location is perfect and very safe. In heart of the medina and close to all the more famous monuments and places to visite. But carfull you have to climb some staires (around 50 maybe) before you get there. So ask for help to the owners. They were very helpfull and very welcoming. And I thank them again for the soup, tea...and all the little attention towards me. The room I had was ok for 1 personn. The bedroom tiny but a very good bed. And a beautifull bathroom and bath! The decoration is very authentique and the house very nice. Also I like the breakfast. Very typical from Morocco.

Loved everything about this stay. Charming Riad in the heart of the medina with lovely and we'll cared-for rooms. The view from the terrace is magnificent! Breakfast was delicious. Most of all, the owners are kind, generous, wonderful people who made my stay in a Chefchaouene all the more memorable. Thanks to you both!

Beautiful, authentic, great energy, quiet, very very clean, beautiful couple running it, they were so kind & helpful. Great food. Felt like we were guests at their home Couldn’t recommend more!

Parking, street is bit away and parking is very challenging. However, the city itself is a true tourist trap! Do your homework!

Owners are truly welcoming and caring! They made our stay special! The lady of the house makes the best orange juice there is! Rooms are very small but beds are very comfortable! The roof terrace provides more then enough space to relax. The owners arranged for a great and much needed massage, hammam, and made sure we felt comfortable during our stay. If you visit the city, this is the place to stay, just mind the parking situation.

Stayed in August 2023

Apart from the terrace, the main space downstairs is not really a place to hangout. The terrace was too hot in August and as the bedrooms are very small, that means there is nowhere really to hang out. I thought the kitchen was for our use but it did not feel like that. I did not like the Twins restaurant Ahmed sent us to on our first night as it had only tourists in it and a menu stretching from tacos to burgers via tagines (the one his wife had recommended, which we went to after, was brilliant), and I felt a bit too pushed towards his preferred carpet shop on the main square.

A gorgeously decorated Riad in the heart of Chefchaouen. Pretty doors, pretty bedrooms, lovely terrace. Ahmed was nice but his wife was even nicer. Her recommendations proved more trustworthy and she was endlessly helpful (laundry, early breakfast, staggered breakfasts). The terrace has a great view overlooking Chefchaouen. The place only has a handful of bedrooms so it feels like a boutique hotel. The breakfast was lovely.

Climbing of stairs to reach the hotel
