The host is not only nice but also an excellent cook. He prepares wonderful tangines.

Nothing to say here. It was brilliant.

Ali the host is a remarkable man doing something remarkable by restoring this piece of history. Nothing is too much trouble. He is such a kind and generous man and our stay at his place will remain with us for many years to come. This is an experience and one not to be missed and i cannot recommend it enough. 10/10

This was the best part of our trip. And it’s all thanks to the owner and manager Ali. Lodgment is rustic and charming, photos are true to reality: what you see is what you get. But what really made this an unforgettable experience was Ali’s honest, welcoming and kind nature. He taught us how to properly cook tajine and couscous and took us on some walking tours explaining the region’s history and cultural highlights. It was without a doubt the most enriching experience of our whole trip. We were very sad to leave, but we’ll surely come back to visit Ali and his wonderful community as soon as we can, we already miss them so much!

Do not come here expecting luxury. This place was really interesting and the host kind and friendly. A tour of the ruins is essential and I was glad to support what Ali is doing here and to share in his knowledge of the site and the local area. The beds were comfortable enough and the food was fine. I would stay here again and bring others as it was an experience.

No luxury but authenticity! Ali receives you in his self-renovated kasbah with a lot of warmth and looks after you like a true friend. Basic but very clean rooms, delicious food (dinner and breakfast) and an interesting tour of his garden where you learn more about how the people there live and work together, nature, culture ... anything you want to ask. We stayed here on our way from Fes to Merzouga, this stop was more than worth it. If you come, please try to bring some clothes, shoes etc that can no longer serve you. Here, people are more than happy with them!

What an amazing place. We have never seen anything like this in many places of travel. Truly authentic and unique.

Ali proved to be an exceptional host, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness during our brief stay. From providing thoughtful gifts upon arrival to insisting on preparing breakfast for our early departure, his hospitality knew no bounds. The scenic beauty of the surrounding gorge only enhanced our experience, providing a stunning backdrop for our evening. Dinner was both delicious and reasonably priced, rounding off our Moroccan adventure perfectly. We highly recommend booking a stay at Ali's Casbah for an unforgettable experience.

Bathroom could have been cleaner.

This renovated historic property was very historic and made for a unique stay. The host is very friendly and welcoming and willing to share lots of knowledge about the building and community.

We loved the place, Ali was a wonderful host and in the morning he gave us a tour around the kasbah and told us the story about the place and it's people.

Absolutely beautiful and atmospheric kasbah with authentic feel. Room was relatively basic but still cozy and very comfortable. The welcome from Ali was exceptional. He took the time to explain to us the history of the kasbah and welcomed us to his family. Food was also exceptional! There's also a nice walk into the valley which is stunning and peaceful. Cannot recommend this enough.

We had a nice walk with our host. Went through a dry river bed, past agriculture plots and in abandoned kasbahs.

Not that we didn’t like it, but it is definitely a more rustic experience. You are staying in what I would describe as a renovated ruin that you see all over the south in the towns of Morocco. It’s charming and comfortable, and you get to experience a different way of living.

Ali the owner was very accommodating a friendly. One man show as inn host, chef and all.

I was in Kasbah in January, its a beautiful 200-year-old building. which is run by a sociable and polite owner. This is the best place to stop on the way between Fez and the Sahara. We were only there for one night, but when I come back to Morocco, I will come back for a longer time, because there are a lot of interesting attractions around this place. Michael

Ali is such an amazing host, he was attentive and showed us around his village. Couldn’t have been happier with my stay. The location is also incredible, located in the heart of a breathtaking canyon.

The stay at this kasbah was the highlight of our roadtrip - Ali was the most welcoming host who told us about the history of this architectural complex, the culture of berbers and the village. He initiated kasbah's restoration project by himself and it's still ongoing - you can see how much history and traditions are rooted in this place. Would definitely come here back for more, like the tour in the mountains with the local berber community.

Ali is a very kind and helpful host. He gave us a warm welcome to his house and showed us around in the gardens and the old village. He learned us how to prepare tajine and gave us the opportunity to visit his befriended nomad family. It was a great experience. The room was cosy and clean. We would recommend this place to all of our friends.

Kasbah Gite D’etape Gorges De Ziz is located in Achbaro. Achbaro a tiny village, 5 hours south of Fes. It is a great place to overnight to break the long trip from the Sahara Desert to Fes or Meknes. Ali, the owner and manager of the kasbah, cooked us a very tasty chicken & vegetables tajine for dinner. After an excellent breakfast, Ali sent us on our way with a bag full of delicious dates from the local palmeraie.

This is a fascinating property. Ali is a fabulous host who was kind enough to show us the local area and explain the history. I thoroughly recommend staying g here if you get the chance

There was little to dislike

Ali is a wonderful host. The house is amazing and Ali was very kind and generous with his time.

I went in summer, so it is very hot and the place still doesn't have the structure to have fans or air-con. There will be soon, he is working on it, but still not here for this summer (2023), so I recommend going on a colder time.

This is a Kasbah that is being restored and also had government aid for it. It is being done in the traditional way and it is very beautiful and interesting. The host gives you tours in the property and also cooking classes. The price is higher than the whole area, but if you consider the experience it was a good price. What you learn there is priceless. In addition to the history and cooking class, the beauty of the old building, the place has a lot of quirky ideas around it.

Location in the middle of breathtaking gorge views. The owner cooked our meals for us; delicious. We ate and chatted with other lodgers Very comfortable bed with our own bathroom. It's rustic, limited but adequate electricity. Owner took me down to see the local farm plots, irrigation and the stream. It seems the rest of the casbah may eventually be restored.

Nothing!

The location, in a beautifully restored Kasbah. The hospitality of Ali, the host, who made a great Tajine for us, and showed us around the palmery, which is beautiful. Please go there. Not the standard place to go to when in Morocco, but do not miss this experience!
