What a great location. The hosts were so helpful and friendly...we had to leave early in the morning and they insisted on breakfast. They went right to work to make sure we were fed and still able to leave on time. Be prepared to be off grid, as power is minimal to none and the shower takes a long time to warm up, but these amenities were nothing compared to the trade off of staying in such a great place in an ancient fortress.

The no-electricity policy here was ok in the end. In fact it was quite fun messing around with candles. Thankfully there’s a powerpoint in the common area fir charging up devices. Food ok but a bit pricey and both uninspired and uninspiring.

Everything about Kasbah Tebi is so special! We drove a rental car from Marrakech to Merzouga for a Sahara Desert excursion and stopped in Ouarzazate for a night at Kasbah Tebi along the way. The place is magical and surreal. Mohamed is the most gracious host, providing not only his family's beautiful home, but also delicious meals and fascinating conversation. He was willing to spend lots of time answering our questions about the history of the Kasbah and his culture, showing us pictures and traditional artwork. The place itself feels like you're in a movie set or another world—the views are amazing and living by candlelight is such a special respite from the modern world. We couldn't have had a better time at Kasbah Tebi and wish we had more than one night to enjoy Mohamed's hospitality. We hope to make it back one day! :)

The property was incredibly charming and it's hard to think of a better way to lodge like the Berbers of yore. Also, the food was excellent, Mohammed was attentive to all of our needs, and the stargazing at night blew us away.

Ait Ben Haddou is a bit of an adventure to get to. Luckily Mohammed was well prepared with communication and a map for us before our arrival! Upon arriving, Mohammed and his brothers were there to greet us with big smiles and hot tea! The Riad itself is a marvel; a truly incredible experience to stay in. The candlelit room was well furnished and very cozy with a surprisingly modern bathroom. We are so grateful for Mohammed for welcoming us and being such a great host.

Mohamed Aït Ougram

Notre établissement est unique! Authentique kasbah pluri-centenaire rénovée dans la tradition, partie constituante du Ksar classé au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité par l'Unesco. Et seul hébergement actuellement au coeur du vieux village.

Originaire d'Aït Benhaddou et issu de l'une des dix premières familles du village, j'ai toujours su qu'il était de mon devoir de préserver ce patrimoine que mes ancètres nous ont laissés. C'est pourquoi j'ai entrepris de renover la kasbah

Nous travaillons avec nos partenaires sur le village : équitation, ballade à dos de dromadaire ou de mulet, trekking, randonnées en Quad, organisation de circuits et ballades. Nous sommes à vos côtés pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable.

“Magical... amazing! ”

Staying at this place will leave you a lifelong positive impression. For a bit of context: Aït Benhaddou has two parts, divided by a river. One, the old part which is world heritage by UNESCO and with buildings dating from the XI century, no electricity and limited internet. And a second one, the new, which has bigger hotels and “modern” infrastructure. To us, the opportunity to stay at a UNESCO listed site, without electricity but in return the most beautiful, romantic and authentic experience, was priceless. The place has everything you need and more. The building is, of course, absolutely breathtaking (as well as the rest of the site/Kasbah). Every corner has a history, details of centuries of tradition and cultural heritage. The room was spacious, comfortable, super clean, well decorated (traditional) and a total journey to the past. The bed was comfortable, good mattress, good linen, blankets and pillows. Dinner was superb, one of the best we have tried in Morocco. The breakfast, although simple, was delicious. Service and hospitality was amazing too. Mohammed (the owner) and his team go the extra mile so you feel welcomed and well cared for.

There is no mains electricity. Kasbah relies on solar energy for a limited amount of power — once it’s gone, it’s gone; so ensure you hand in your mobile phone at reception for recharging early or bring a power bank with you. Although there was a wireless internet connection at the beginning, it stopped as soon as electricity stopped after the sunset. Although we book two “Luxury single rooms”, one room was had just one bed, another room had two twin beds. Both “Luxury single rooms” were small, but just about adequate. The cost of overnight parking is 10 dirhams.
Very impressive authentic kasbah. Very welcoming hosts who served hot mint tea and delicious nuts on the terrace which overlooks the dry river bed over which you must walk with your bags from the car park in the main village. On one occasion a staff member walked with me to the car park in the western part of the village to help bring my luggage at night. We were served a delicious tagine in the very atmospheric candlelit dining room. No electricity means candles in the bedroom but guests are provided with lots of them so it is possible to light up the bedroom. The shower provided hot water in the morning which is always good to discover in such a quirky place. A typical Moroccan breakfast was served on the terrace on ground floor. There is a pleasant roof terrace with views of ksar of Aït Ben Haddou. Kasbah Tebi provided us with a very unique experience of old Morocco and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to see the authentic Morocco.

Everything about this place is rustic, authentic and absolutely amazing. The way the owner and staff put their heart and soul into it makes it truly special. The location in the UNESCO heritage site of Ait ben haddou is absolutely wonderful. The night sky is beautiful to watch since there are no lights. The breakfast was generous and really good. Enjoyed numerous glasses of freshly pressed orange juice.

“Unmatchable ambience”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights

This is hopefully fixed by the time you read this as we brought it up with one of family: the smoke from the fire in the dining room will tend to collect in the bedrooms above. This is because the fire is not drawing properly. Also and this is really nit picky: you will find defunct light fittings and power plugs in your rooms - so if you are a re-enactor, that may spoil the mood a little.
Staying in a medieval kasbah in the middle of the desert cannot easily be described. Day tourists coming to Ait Ben Haddao will only get the least and most shallow experience. Watching the sun set and rise over the desert with the ancient structures around you from one of the many terraces in your small hotel really gives you a sense of what it could have been like to live then. As you are within the fort itself, you can easily access the rest of the fort from your hotel. Just as importantly, staff were super friendly, flexible and relaxed. We have stayed in eight very different places in Morocco and this is our top pick by a long distance. Simply unique. Ps: the hot water is very hot with good pressure - you just have to be patient. Also, we stayed in winter and the room was nice and warm, and came with a gas heater.

“Authentic experience”
- • Leisure trip

In Morocco you're always presented with the same dilemma: is this house/place/activity authentic or overtouristic and artificial? There is no such question with this 400 years old clay house on the edge of Ait Ben Haddou. It's basically the same as staying inside Mont Saint Michel, waiting for tourist waves to wash away and have the whole experience just for yourself. There is no electricity and WiFi works sporadically in the main hall. But honestly it can't be a problem if you know about it before hand. We just packed some powerbank for our phones and enjoyed fantastic candlelit dinner and a quiet and peaceful evening with the candles in the room. Surprisingly enough the room stayed warm even during the rather cold night (beginning of January). You need to wait for a long time for the water to warm up in the shower, but even if you have to pass up the showering for one day this place is worth it.
