    It was quite difficult to find this place because we arrived late and the link which was sent via booking.com could not be opened.

    Excellent breakfasts. We were lucky to enjoy a beautiful garden with blossoming almond trees right near the Dar.

    A Magical Stay at Dar Bilal with Mohamed and Family

    Our stay at Dar Bilal was nothing short of magical. The charming ambiance of the hotel, coupled with its proximity to the historic Ait Ben Haddou, created a truly enchanting experience. What made our time here truly exceptional was the warm embrace of Mohamed and his family. Their genuine hospitality transformed our stay into a memorable journey, from heartfelt greetings to personalized care. Dar Bilal itself is a masterpiece, a reflection of the family's dedication to creating a haven for their guests. The attention to detail in the decor and the cozy atmosphere made our stay unique. The meals, curated by the family, were a highlight of our visit. Breakfast and dinner were delightful starts and ends to the day, and the exceptional local cuisine served showcased the family's commitment to providing a true taste of the region. We wholeheartedly recommend Dar Bilal to anyone seeking not just accommodation but an immersive and familial experience. Our heartfelt thanks to Mohamed and his family for making our stay a treasure trove of beautiful memories. We eagerly anticipate returning to this haven in the future.

    Mohamed was an incredibly kind and welcoming host. Upon arrival we received some tasty snacks and tea. Our room had no hot water, so we were upgraded to a slightly bigger room that did have hot water (thank you!!). For our second evening we asked for dinner and the 3-course meal was among the best we had during our 10-day stay in Morocco. The breakfast was another level too.... We almost felt bad haha. So much pastries and extra's. Definitely the best during our trip.

    My wife and I were looking forward to staying at Dar Bilal and we were not disappointed. Hosted by Mohamed, one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, who went out of his way to make our stay memorable. A 5 minute drive from Ait Ben Haddou; we found the location perfect and away from the more touristy areas. The Dar itself is super comfortable and tastefully decorated with plenty of break out areas to relax and enjoy a tea. The roof terrace was particularly nice in the evenings. The room and bed were great with aircon for added comfort. Breakfasts were delicious and enjoyed outside in the fresh morning air. We opted to have dinners at the Dar as well which were packed with flavour and are highly recommended. And thank you for the surprise birthday songs which meant so much!

    Perfect location with an awesome view from the roof terrace. The location is very new and we had the opportunity to check all rooms. All are well and easy furnished. The host was so friendly and the delicious breakfast & dinner comes with many options. For us one of the best Riads we had on our round trip through Morocco!

    Bedroom and bathroom are too dark; no shelves or wardrobe for clothes; Wi-Fi code is not displayed

    The room is too dark: the only lightbulb on the ceiling is too dim (one 25-watt bulb). We had to change their lightbulb with our own 150-watt lightbulb to be able to see what we were doing in the room. The amount of light and brightness of all light bulbs in ceiling lights in bedrooms and bathrooms should definitely be increased. The room lacks any furniture (such a wardrobe, shelves) for guests for guests to put their belongings on. A wardrobe and/or various hooks or shelves on walls, a couple chairs should be provided in the room so that guest do not have to place all their belongings (such as their clothes at night) on the floor. We struggled to find the code for Wi-Fi. This was given to us only when we were leaving. The hotel should print their Wi-Fi code and display it prominently in the reception area, and should print the Wi-Fi code on small pieces of paper and put them on a bedside table in bedrooms. We reserved a room at a discount during a promotion month carried out by booking-com rather than the property, so its price-quality ration was acceptable. But if we had paid the full price (€45) without any discount, it would have been too expensive, overpriced for what it is. I hope the proprietor of this hotel will implement my suggestions and take onboard my advice.

    The meals at dinner (for an additional cost) and at breakfast were good. The young tall man who greeted us was pleasant. However, there was some confusion upon our arrival — it seems the hotel did not know that we were arriving or which room we should be given. The young tall man had to call someone (presumably, the owner) to clarify all that. In the meantime, we had to just stand and wait, and there was an undesirable delay before we were given a room — it was not a smooth check-in experience. I expected the hotel to be ready for arrival of guests. Certainly, the hotel should know which room they intend to give to those guests. I also did not like that we send WhatsApp messages to both phone numbers provided for Dar Bilal (because we had questions to clarify) two weeks before our arrival, however, no-one has ever responded. This hotel does not engage with its clients prior to their arrival. We were the only guests staying in the hotel. Therefore, we expected to be given a larger triple room (as all rooms were empty anyway), however this hotel did not do so; whereas a hotel in Nkob gave us a free upgrade in similar circumstances.
