This place was wonderful, and one of the highlights of my trip. It is just some rooms in a house, which also serves as a restaurant in a small village. It is not a luxury hotel. But with that being said, you will feel very much at home here. The shower and bathroom are very basic, but you are in a high mountain, remote village, so this should be expected. Ilhame, the lady of the house, keeps a very nice place, which is clean and comfortable. She also is an amazing cook, and you will be fed well, with delicious Moroccan cuisine. She is fluent in many languages (Arabic, Berber, French, English, and is working on Spanish), and has a great sense of humor. There is a nice deck area on the roof with a great view of the town to enjoy some tea, or read a book.The owner Mohammad, arranged for a couple days of hiking for me through the nearby mountains and Berber villages with a local mountain guide. This was a great experience to get to know the local community, see how they make a living and just the day to day lives of the people who live here. I would highly recommend at least to do the hike through the local Berber villages, as this was very special. The second day was more strenuous, with more mountain and ridge climbing, which may not be for everyone. There is not much to do in town, other than walk around and see the local people doing their thing, which is kind of why you would come to this place. But the simple, slower pace of life is well worth the visit.

Abdul was friendly and resourceful. We had a great chat about the village and about his country. He brought us to the nearby river Dinner was great, very big portion for 2 pax Beautiful view Garden / farm at the guesthouse
