“The best place to stay in Essaouira!”
The location is perfect in the old city of Essaouira, very clean dormitory, the atmosphere is very charming and cosy, with a great patio and rooftop to chill and connect with other people and not mention the delicious food. You will not find better quality/price! Most importantly, the members of the staff are amazing: I hang out with them, they are so kind and attentive. I will definitely remember the night in the patio with guitar music !!

“overrated hostel . Unclean accommodation and unhelpful owner”
This hostel is seriously overrated. The photos do not reflect the actual conditions. During my stay, I ended up with numerous painful, itchy bites that became swollen. The host insisted they were mosquito bites, not bed bugs. I asked to switch beds in the morning, but was told all were occupied. I then requested clean sheets, and the owner offered mosquito repellent instead. As my condition worsened, I asked again to change my bedding later that day. This time, the owner became visibly irritated and dismissive, questioning why only I had these issues and no one else. He told me to change the bed myself and made me feel like I was being a nuisance the entire day. Please avoid this place. It’s not worth the trouble.

“11/10 Excellent vibes.”
11/10! I was only there for one night (wish it was longer!) but fab location close to everything, spacious and comfy rooms, delicious breakfast prepared for me before I set out on my wanderings. Host was super friendly and helpful. Look no further for a place to rest your head and have a relaxed stay than the Berber hostel.
