The booking page is clear that you'll need to pay for extras in cash on arrival (dinner etc.), but I somehow did not digest the fact that you also have to pay the complete cost of your room onsite in cash. We had enough dirhams to do so, but it took us by surprise. Just be sure you have enough cash to pay for your room, dinner, tips etc. before you cross the river.

We absolutely loved Kasbah Tebi - cannot imagine seeing Ait Benhaddou any other way, it was a highlight of our trip to Morocco. Dinner by candlelight was lovely, and our room was so dreamy. We arrived mid-day, and called the staff at Kasbah Tebi using the wifi at a cafe in town across the river, and they promptly sent over a porter on motorbike to help with our luggage. We followed our luggage across the river bed, entered through the ancient unesco site archway, and arrived at Kasbah Tebi with a warm welcome. After a cup of tea, we went out to explore. Being able to settle back into our lodging without leaving the site, while all the other tourists had to cross the river to continue on their journey or stay in town was quite a perk. It felt as though we had the place to ourselves for sunset. Don't even question it, stay here if you plan to visit Kasbah Tebi.

Internet was only working in the common space- in the evening, with all guests present in the common space on it, the capacity wasn't enough to make it usable

Nestled in a charming historic location, this place boasts beautifully designed interiors and a cozy, comfortable bedroom. We enjoyed a delightful dinner in a stunning indoor setting and savored a lovely breakfast on the outdoor terrace.

I enjoyed spending the nights with only candlelight. It's nice to be able to enjoy a life that has not changed in the past 400 years.

The door to the bathroom is very small.

Very nice staff. Comunication always very easy and acessible, helped us get taxi to kasbah and from kasbah to Essaouira. Not having electricity and the subdue decor makes the stay an unique experience.

You will need to walk from the parking place to the Kasbah.

Awesome location! Nice authentic rooms with lots of space. Nice common areas. Best shower in Morocco.

Nothing. Everything was great.

A unique experience. Felt as though I’d traveled back in time. Delightfully restored building that’s been run by the same family for 400 years. Mohammed was great and collected and dropped off our luggage back to the car via motorbike. The views from the Kasbah were stunning. At night there the building is lit inside by candles. There were charging points and our bed room also had electric lights.

Kasbah Tebi was utterly magical. Crossing the river and finding the hotel was just the right sort of adventurous. The hotel itself is just gorgeous: the ceilings, the furniture, the ambience. The candle lit dinner and candle lit rooms created a night out of time. The rooms were comfortable, the shower was hot, and the bird and animal noises from the palmery were just the right shot of exotic. The staff was friendly and accomodating. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was a magical night I will never forget.

A battery operated light in the bathroom would be helpful. A sign in lobby that reads Cash Only would be a good idea as we had planned on using a credit card.

It provided a unique experience. Beds were comfortable and meal service was good. Lack of electricity adds to the charm but is also challenging.

Difficult to locate, but staff was sent to meet us and show us the way. No one was available to help us with our bags upon checkout. This is unacceptable.

Absolutely charming property and decor.

Wonderful people in an amazing historical location! Internet service in this area is very low so try and get on the wifi. The dinner prepared by the staff was excellent and served over candle light. Get their phone number and send a WhatsApp message and they will tell you where to park and come pick you up from the parking lot and help with bags. ATM available at parking lot was a life saver!

Warm welcome upon arrival. We enjoyed the experience with the candle light setting as there is no electricity. The breakfast on the terrace in the shadow of palm trees is unforgettable. Great experience to stay such an ancient location.

This is a very special place that will be remembered. You definitely get the feeling that you are 400 years back in time. At the same time, everything necessary is provided to make your stay comfortable. The dinner was amazing. This place will leave a very personal impression on me.

One of the most authentic experiences I can imagine. Staying in a 400 year old house complex is something special

No baby cods, they state in description that they have this and they also confirmed to me that they had two for us ready after we made booking. But on arrival, these were just normal beds and no cods. Our 14month old son needed to sleep in a normal bed and this was highly inconvenient for us and not relaxing. As well as our two year old who falls out of these kind of beds and therefor needed to sleep on the floor. Just telling Mohammed to be clear about this in information, if i wouldve known before i would have been able to take precausions.

Simo who made us laugh every day. Mohammed and his son Location in the Ksar, very beautiful The Kasbah is really nice and very special

The history of the Kasbah, the same family has been running it for 4 centuries. The food, the location and the charming use of candles as night. It is a singular experience. I've stayed in many amazing hotels around the world and although this was not the most expensive, or the most glamorous, it certainly has the most character. The roof top is phenomenal. I have not seen the stars and skies this way in two decades (blame it on living in a polluted metropolis).

Nothing. It was all as expected. A very nice stay overall.

The room was lovely and basic, exactly as we expected. The family room had three rooms, one with a larger than average double bed, one with three singles (one of which was shorter than normal), and a small common area with just a couple of straightback chairs for seating. The toilet and shower were behind separate doors off the common area and had 24/7 operational electric lighting. Everything else was with candles. Ample candles were provided. The dinner was really great. Don't eat elsewhere! I had read that it was served on the roof terrace, but in our case it was indoors. Breakfast was comparable to what we had at all our Moroccan hotels. When we called to say we were in the parking lot, someone came very promptly with the donkey to help with our bags.

We loved the location right in the kasbah, the candle lit atmosphere and the delicious dinner they cooked for us.

Amazing spot, wonderful ambiance, kind staff, and all of it glowing with candlelight. What is not to like
