    The drive to the Ecolodge takes a while due to the type of road, meaning it's a 20 minute drive or so to the rest of town. When we left, we discovered that we had orange marks on our skin and some of our clothes were also stained, which I think must be something in the water.

    The room was large and comfortable, with an alcove where we could have the cot for our daughter. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was good. The grounds and pool were great and it was very peaceful at night. They also had beer.

    A bit unpredictable water temperature for showering. Will it be a cold shower or might I have some hot water today? ;)

    Very nice place, very quiet, good breakfast and helpful staff. We all fell in love with the hotel dog Ceasar. He is a young boy of six month and for that reason he can be a bit intense, but still just a fantastic sweet dog :)

    We were not used to living without full connection and hot water all the time. Some ants in the bed. But nothing serious.

    The food was very good and the staff very kind, always available to respond to our questions and needs. It is a great project to welcome people while taking care of nature.

    We had multiple specific food requests that were agreed with the staff but then not fulfilled. It is perfectly understandable if alternative food options are not available, but it is disappointing if these are agreed but then not followed up on. One night we had agreed on a certain menu in advance but then it was changed and every single course had to be sent back.

    The location is incredible, with almost no light and sound pollution you can enjoy the view of the stars. The room is very luxurious and the staff are friendly.

    The place does not have a hair dryer - allegedly they lack enough electric capacity. The place is far away from town, unconnected to public electricity network, they use solar power, which is nice. The room was cold for European winter standards, especially its niche with an extra bed, but I got used to this while traveling in Morroco in January, they do not have a proper heating system as the country is hot/warm for most of the year.

    Very nice place with a great view. We liked the restaurant as well. The staff was very acommodating.

    Two things really: There was a lot of banging and construction work during the day when I was trying to sleep. And the shower in my room had a broken holder for the shower so it could be put on the wall, but would then be angled sideways and not down, so it needed to be held in my hand. This is by no means unusual in Morocco and the bathroom was clean and the water hot, so just a minor point.

    The location was very relaxing. I left feeling well rested. Part of this was the very low key, gentle hospitality. In some places, they can be over the top, but Nourddine was very quiet and checked in with me often in a caring and kind way. But... The highlight was the food. I arrived very tired wanting easy known food. So when Nourddine said "we do things a little differently", I was initially disappointed as I just needed low brain power familiar food. However the meal they served me was very refined and beautifully presented. Almost fine dining level of presentation. The Berber eggs for breakfast were great too. I decided to stay one extra night and I asked Nourddine if dinner would be the same. He looked a little embarrassed to say "yes", because they didn't know I was staying two nights. After the meal he said "I am sorry it was the same", then I smiled to say "no, I was asking because I wanted the same again!". Honestly, the food here is great. Thank you Nourddine and team.

    There was no hot water during our stay. The location is out of town on dirt tracks so take care if you have a rental car - although it was easy to find.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the traditional music performance and the food was great. The pool space was lovely and it was so nice to be out in nature. The room was also very spacious. The gardens and the peacocks and cats were a delight.

    Family Rooms are a bit basic ( large double bed, with ajoining room , no door just matress on the floor) Aircon -only on for 4 hours p/n and shower not great - luke warm if you are lucky Smelly at times due to sewerage problems but maybe now sorted. Limited options on evening meals with no menu or prices Construction work going on during day A £10 taxi ride each way if not eating at the ecolodge Communial fridge hardly cools.

    Tranquill and quiet location Fantastic breakfast Nice pool Friendly and helpfull staff Free washing service

    Apart from the double bed, single beds were just a mattress in the floor. No bed at all. This is unacceptable for such price range. There was a used towel in the bathroom. Cleanliness was not the best for such an hotel. There was no Wi-Fi connection in the room. Air conditioning only works at night.

    The hotel environment is very pleasant. It is located far from the town and main road, which is not bad if you have a car. Outside area by the swimming pool is very pleasant. Friendly staff.

    The water is salty, weird and same everywhere: pool, shower, bathroom. In our first night we ordered wine and waited around 40 minutes, at the end wine was not so good and we didn’t even finish the half of the bottle, had to pay 20€ for that tho.

    Location and breakfast are perfect.

    Shower in our room didn't work properly, consistently getting cold water in the shower, which was was attempted to be fixed but everyday there was a problem. A mistake on owner's booking system where they were trying to get us to pay more. Did feel like the owner was always trying to get us to pay more for things, which is a shame. The lodge write up says there are lake view rooms and 3 pools which is not the case. This needs to be re written as there is no visible lake and only 1 pool. .

    Lovely, peaceful location, Spacious rooms, excellent breakfast and friendly service. Food served was fantastic.
