Our host was very helpful and welcoming. He guided us to the nearby parking spaces and then to the property. The dinner and breakfast (at an additional cost) was well done and the portion was fulfilling. The room was large and staying in a cave home was a novel experience.

“A one-of-a-kind experience in an incredible cave home in an authentic Moroccan community.”

It was a unique experience to stay in the cave. Our host, Thami, was very warm and helpful and took good care of us. We enjoyed staying in an authentic Moroccan town with no other tourists.

“Cave dwellings are my hobbi”

“Special!”

Bhalil old town is a very special place, where one can really see a realistic way of life that has developed into a strong knitted community. The stay is very particular, yet increasingly interesting to experience and see. It is comfortable and everything is well taken care of. The host is super friendly and kind, all the team is very hospitable and overall wonderful.

“Amazing experience out of the beaten tracks!”

This is definitely a highlight from our trip in Morocco. It took us out of the beaten tracks and we enjoyed every bit of this experience. Thami was very nice and attentive. He was very keen on giving us some background about this unusual accommodation which was very interesting. We were genuinely impressed with the cave. Totally recommend it!

As everyone has referenced, it really is a cave. We stayed for two nights in a July heatwave, and it was cool and comfortable with a good night's sleep. The cave is kept as a traditional berber home and feels like a museum with lots of traditional tools, artifacts, etc. It's surprisingly big and even upstairs. Situated in the centre of the village, so a true feel of village life with the call for prayers. We stayed on a Wednesday, and the village had a large local market fruit veg meat clothes. Everything was loverly and completely safe to walk around and experience.

“Amazing experience staying in a cave”

Location was great in village. Really nice people. The host came and picked us up from Fez and dropped us at the train station. Very nice man

“This was a genuine simple cave living experience, very unique!”

The cave living experience

“Unique Experience”

We spent 2 nights at Grotte Thami. The whole cave house was given to 3 of us. The upper floor has 4 beds and the lower floor has 1 bedroom and a big living area. Bathroom and toilet are located on the lower floor. The entire cave is decorated with Moroccan paraphernalia. Mr Thami was a very good host. He attended to our every request and showed us to some places we wanted to visit. Staying in the cave house was a very unique experience. We loved that it's off the beaten track and we didn't see other tourists.

The cute village with nice people. Helpful and attentive host. Atypical experience. Breakfast. From the outside the cave looks like a modest house and then when you go in, you discover the cave.

“The perfect place, food and hosts.”

If I could, I would rate this place, Thami and Habiba (the hosts) 20 stars out of 10. We have been well received all through Morroco, but our stay here was more than perfect. Thami is the perfect gentleman, and his wife made us the best food we ever had. Thank you both for your kindness!

“Lovely cave house experience”

Beautiful cave house with amazing decoration- could look at all the rugs and ceramics and paintings forever! The hosts were really friendly and helpful, I don’t speak French but still they managed to communicate with me. It had a really nice communal feeling, as another family was staying and we had a delicious dinner and breakfast together and played cards! Highly recommend :)

What a unique experience, truly local! Unfortunately we spoke very lityle French, Thami did his very best to explain to us. He collected us from town and walked us to our accommodation. Decor is beautifully eclectic. The blankets he provided were a lifesaver, it got quite cool in the evening. An unforgettable stay!

“Very lovely stay, the place is exactly as expected, authentic, we enjoyed it once we were here”

It authentic and in a cave, the host was lovely, very comfortable and spacious, we took the large downstairs room. Wifi excellent. The local cafe was full of very friendly people, they might not look it at times, but they are just lovely and friendly, and they know the someone who speaks English if you don't speak French.

Thami is probably the best host we have encountered on our 10 day journey across Morocco. He is full of knowledge which he is keen to share, he really looked after us (we arrived late during Ramadan and the restaurants were closed so he eventually turned up with the best tajine we had during our stay!). The place is beautiful and full of character and history, it genuinely feels like you are staying at someone’s house. We ended our journey there and it was the best way to finish this magical holiday. You should definitely visit Bhalil if you’re in Morocco!

“Unique experience, lovely people”

Thami and his family are very lovely kind people and were quite helpful. The cave is ecletically decorated. It would be a wonderfully cool and welcome retreat in warmer weather, but was a little cold during our stay in February. It's a unique experience though, to stay in one of the traditional local caves.

“A very unique experience to stay in a beautiful cave”

Wow, staying in a grotto! This was very different to all the other accommodation we had during our travels, a great experience! The grotto is beautifully decorated in traditional style with a lot of attention to detail. It has 3 bedrooms, a portable heater, comfortable beds with lots of blankets, internet, hot water. The owner is very friendly. We went for a walk in the village which was also interesting and people were friendly.

Wonderful cave house with all amenities. Clean and comfortable. The host was excellent and I was given a tour of the village. It's such a beautiful village to stay in, very peaceful and relaxing with great views over the mountains and countryside. I wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommended.

“Nice cave and very nice owner!!”

We had a wonderful time in Grotte Thami. The cave is really nice and clean. It was winter and I thought it was going to be colder in the cave but we weren't cold. Thami , the owner, is a very nice guy. He will help you to find whatever you need. He found an English speaking guide for us. In the evening, he took us to a local place where we could eat a very nice beef sandwich. The next day, we had a wonderful breakfast in another cave. it was prepared by his wife. So, let him know what you need and he will help you.

“An exceptional experience”

It is really exceptional experience to sleep in a cave. The cave is very well decorated and gave us a very good feeling. The owner Thami is really very helpful and welcoming and he did everything to make us feel we are at home.
