We enjoyed our stay at the historic Kasbah. The host was very welcoming and took time to have tea and chat, which we appreciated. We had dinner and it was delicious. The kasbah is situated 6 km away from the touristic village of ait ben hadou. We enjoyed the more quiet location and visited ait ben hadou in the morning of the next day.

Great hosts. Very friendly, they give a lot of useful advice. We had two breakfasts and one dinner at this place and it was excellent! The food is delicious, typical and well prepared. It's an ideal place to visit the surroundings, like Ait Ben Haddou. It's well decorated, Moroccan style. Beds are comfortable. We had a very pleasant stay!

“A wonderful break and amazing hospitality.”
Located in a beautiful village very close to the Ait Ben Hadou heritage site. This is gem not to be missed. Most importantly due to the hospitality and very delicious home cooked food served by the host, Miloud, who was very very hospitable, kind and helpful right from the time of booking the place and before arriving.

“Stunning and unique experience not to be missed.”
The location feels so far removed from tourists and the hustle and bustle of Ait Ben Haddou yet is a 10 minute drive away max. It’s a beautiful property. Insane views and atmosphere and we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We were given a free upgrade and were served breakfast on the rooftop at sunrise, as requested by us. Super peaceful apart from the amazing call to prayer but this was a unique experience with the most wonderful hosts. Evening meal portions were huge and great value for money. Breakfast was delicious too.Nothing was too much trouble and beautiful mint tea was served on arrival with never ending smiles. This was by far the best £47 we spent for accommodation for a family. We could not get over the way the colours changed with the sunlight and how ornate and beautifully decorated the Kasbah was. We wish we had longer but feel so grateful we made it to this very special place that we will never forget.

Conveniently located in a wonderfully calm area, just a 10–15 minute drive from the buzz of Ait Ben Haddou. Stunning valley views and an exceptional rooftop terrace perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. Safe and convenient parking is available in the courtyard. The staff were attentive and extremely friendly. The house is built in traditional kasbah style, with pretty and tasteful furnishings, all spotlessly clean. We felt very welcomed and truly enjoyed the authentic atmosphere of the place. This is a wonderful spot that should not be missed!

“Kasbah Ounila - An authentic Berber experience in stunning location”
The stunning scenery around the kasbah made this an exceptional location. The views over the valley were stunning and the building itself very authentic. We received a lovely welcome from Milord and it was a beautifully quiet setting. The breakfast and evening meal were really the nicest so far on our trip. Simple accommodation and excellent value for money.

“Book here if you’re going to Ait Benhaddou!”
Everything was fantastic. The service was out of this world, the food was delicious in the evening, the views from the rooftop of the sunset, the stars and sunrise was phenomenal. Definitely the best place we stayed in Morocco

“This hotel is a wonderful find. Its location is great (about a five minute drive to Ait Benhaddou), the view is amazing”
Pros: location, view, staff Cons: low water pressure in the shower but it’s in the middle of the dessert so to be expected.

“Friendly, authentic and cosy, but really could do with some upgrades”
Bilud was very humble and friendly, great person! We liked the terrace overlooking the villages and some mountains (and full of stars at night!). The breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary, but pleasant and fresh. The room is the least positive part, although the bed was fairly comfortable. All in all Ounila has a friendly and welcoming vibe, but it really should get upgraded, especially the rooms and bathrooms.

“Great place”
Simple but welcoming space, at a more than reasonable price. The staff prepared dinner for us even though we arrived late and didn't have a reservation.

The kasbah was a beautiful building with a lovely local interior. The owner was a very friendly man, contacting us beforehand to ask if we wanted dinner. There was hot water, a terrace, soft beds, extra blankets and a great breakfast.
