Bed not the best.

Location, host, food, price, cleanliness all top marks.

It was all perfectly ok. Unfortunately we booked literally 10 minutes before arriving around 7pm, therefore it was not possible to have dinner there. But the restaurant nearby was excellent and good value for money.

The Maison offers you an amazing breakfast. The place is quiet and clean! The host is super friendly!

Incredible location, peaceful and scenic, just by the riverside and a few minutes from the gorge. Very nice hosts, we felt at home. The house is warm in its forniture and taste. The room comfortable. Very nice and abundant breakfast on the beautiful terrace. A really nice experience overall, I wish we stayed longer. Strongly suggested!

The location was great, 3 minutes away from the gorge and close to all other hotels and restaurants in Todra. The room was of a good size, the beds were comfortable and the the food was yummy; but most importantly, Abdul and Suad were amazing hosts, and we can’t recommend them enough!

We decided to go for their dinner menu and it was a bit disappointing. It was more than double the price of what we usually paid in Morocco and by far the most expensive meal. Portion wise for 2 people is was the size of a regular meal for 1 person in different places. They even charged us extra the tea we ordered on top of the food being 240 dirham.

Beautiful surroundings and very nice host

Stayed in February 2024

Everything was great. The only difficulty was the local village children who were very persistent in asking us for dirhams or for food. While it can feel like the right thing to give them your pocket money, we were advised not to do this, as parents will then sometimes pull kids out of school and have them ask tourists for money all day. It was emotionally difficult to say no, but donate money to a local school or NGO instead. Be prepared for children to approach you when you arrive.

Great location, walking distance to gorge. Abdul was so kind and gave us great suggestions for family activities (hikes, exploring the palmerie and more)! Food was also very delicious, I highly recommend dinner here!

Beautiful little Guesthouse overlooking the green gardens and the mountains. Located 10 min walk from the Gorge entrance in the Little village. They have a cosy, heated dinning room where they serve delicious tagine or couscous. For the warmer days they have as well a nice rood top terrace. The place is clean and Abdul will always have a nice chat with you. Family like atmosphere.

I felt like being the part of the family. The food was home made, when it was ready they just called up: Zsofiiiiaaaa thee fooood is reeeaaady! Exactly like at home 🤩 The food was delicious, you could taste, that is was made with a lot of love! 🥰 The children have been running up and down the stairs like me and my brother did when we were jung and they were really curious who is there. 😊 They were very sweet. Abduls nephew showed me the mountains and we had a really nice day hiking. I'm very grateful for the whole experience. 😊🙏

Very warm welcome from the hosts. They had total confidence that we could get the motorbike into their tiny courtyard - we did. Supper was delicious.

Very friendly family, nice and quiet location, rooms were clean. You can ask Abdul anything and he's always glad to help you. Also dinner was the best one of our trip through Marocco. We would certainly recommend!

Rooms were slightly on the small side with the bathroom in the room, and the air conditioning didn’t work so fans were made do. Other than that we had a lovely stay and thank you.

Incredible hospitality and attention to detail. We were provided with a lovely breakfast and evening meal. The terrace is great with a lovely view, very close to the gorge walk too.

Our bed was very hard, but that is a theme we found in Morocco.

You will not get a warmer welcome than here in Morocco. By staying at Maison d’Hôte Valentine you are contributing directly to the livelihood of a Berber family (this is a relatively poor region), and in turn you are staying in a very unique environment where the 10 minute meander into the Todra Gorge is so easy to do. You will receive the best evening meal you will get in your entire stay in Morocco - the food is prepared by the owner’s wife, and it is second to one. The arrival to the property is unpaved and is ‘real Morocco’. If you have a wish to buy carpet the the owner’s sister has a business just around the corner that he will take you to.

This cozy “maison” has clean and functional rooms and a nice room to eat dinner and breakfast. The owner was very welcoming, even when we arrived an hour before check-in time. We loved our room, from which we could see and hear the river. Dinner was really good – a delicious salad, chicken tagine, and extra special dessert (not just a bowl of fruit). The house is a well-marked short walk from the main road and the small parking lot on the main road is also well marked. The location is perfect for people visiting the gorge. We walked down twice since it was so nearby.

We had a wonderful stay in the guesthouse, we felt very welcome immediately! The guesthouse is situated in the gorge and has stunning views. The breakfast was included and very nice. As a bonus we got explained very well which hike we should do in the neighborhood, beautiful!

Abdul and his family looked after us so well, we were welcomed with tea on the terrace, in the morning had a tasty breakfast and they provide home cooked evening meals upon request. The rooftop terrace has wonderful views and our room had the same view of the mountains, river and palmerie. We also loved being in the village of Tizgui itself, a Berber village relatively untouched by tourism with Berber women tending animals in small pens around the village wearing traditional dress, maze like alleyways around and under buildings, ancient pathways through the little fields of the palmerie and to the west of the village the ancient Ksaur (kasber) where Berber families still live. A 3-5 hour walk from the village takes you into the mountains behind the gorge where you pass normadic Berber families. Abdul grew up in the ancient village kasber and his mother before him grew up a normadic Berber. Staying at Hotel Valentine was a wonderful experience of the real Morocco and seeing first hand an ancient and fading way of life.

Wonderful location at the top end of the gorge but also quiet, with just the croaking of frogs, amazing birdsong and the lovely gurgling of the river below. From the stunning roof terrace you can admire green fields in the valley that are a colourful contrast to the stunning rock walls and strata all around. Our host Abdul was a wonderful man - always helpful, attentive and on hand to guide you ... we even bought a lovely rug made at his sister's co-op fom him!
