The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even went to the farmacy to get medicines for us because our son became ill and cleaned the room extra. They spontaneously asked our youngest child if he would like to ride the horse and help with the animals. Good location.

Staff couldn’t do enough to ensure we were comfortable and show the animals to our child. Food was tasty and good choice.

Unique location, right on the hillside above the river. Its a 15 minute drive to the more touristy area so not super convenient for accessing waterfall walks etc. Staff were very helpful. The breakfast was really good!

“A more traditional feeling stay in the mountains, yummy food (no one got ill here), super friendly with space for kids t”
We loved being in the mountains. Peaceful and quieter. Accommodations are a good way from the road although there are many steps (staff are amazing and carry all your stuff!) Felt like a mix of international and local tourists. A few animals, different terraced gardens and play areas (bring a ball!) for kids to stay busy. They can organise activities but we didn’t do this. Host was super kind and helpful. French or what’s app in other languages. Food was fabulous. Limited traditional menu but delicious fresh and hot with great service. Rooms has air con so kept warm at night. In winter perhaps there could be another heated social area eg to play games at night? The seating area was too cold in February. Helped us organise transfers to Setti Fadma, airport etc and all efficient and stuck to agreed price. Felt safe with kids. Thank you for having us.

“Excellent place!”
We had a lovely two days at Ferme by Ikalimo. The personnel, the rooms, and the overall atmosphere were excellent. It is a truly beautiful place with spotlessly clean, well-designed rooms. The staff were absolutely amazing kind, welcoming, and always ready to help, which made our stay feel very special. I highly recommend this place. If you want to feel truly special, just visit Ferme by Ikalimo.

“Very unusual place, spectacular situation wedged into the side of a mountain gorge with such kind service from really wo”
This is an extraordinary place, perched on the mountainside above the river. The approach is up a bunch of stairs (don’t worry they carry your bags for you like magic), and then you enter a farm built into the land in a series of terraces. It’s rustic and very unusual. A great experience and very unlike any other place I have ever stayed. Soufiane and the other staff are incredibly kind.

“A Beautiful Escape in Ourika”
We recently stayed at Ferme by Ikalimo in the stunning Ourika Valley, and it was an absolutely lovely experience. The setting, the hospitality, and the atmosphere made my stay peaceful and memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and genuine care. The staff made us feel completely at home, and the place itself is full of charm — surrounded by mountains, gardens, and the soothing sound of the river. Our room was cozy, beautifully decorated in a traditional Moroccan style, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The food was fresh and delicious, full of authentic Moroccan flavors. We slept very good !!!

“Great stay at ferme by ikalimo”
We just had a great 1 night stay at ferme by ikalimo with our family of 4 (including a 2 and a 5 year old). The staff were great, very helpful, location was lovely in the valley near the river and the on-site animals and playground provided the kids much enjoyment. The food was very good also - we had a lovely tagine. There are a lot of stairs being on a valley side but the staff will carry your bags to help. The family room was lovely and very comfortable, would definitely recommend.

“Brilliant Host”
This was a beautiful stay in the mountains to see Ourika valley for us, I can't recommend highly enough! We were a group of 2 couples and drove from Marrakech. Abdul and his team were amazing - they were attentive, kind and friendly and made everything easy for us during our stay. He is a brilliant host and rightly proud of Ourika. The food was great and the whole stay was great value for money. The photos don't do the property justice - we chose to stay at the mountain riad and were very happy with this.

This is the perfect place to stay if you have children. It is a little paradise, with on-demand activities for all, including pottery making, horse riding, cooking classes and many more, as well as wonderful play areas and of course all the animals. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable and the staff are so incredibly warm and friendly. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

“Beautiful peaceful hotel with a team that give really top service”
I love Ferme by Ikalimo. It’s just so quiet and peaceful. It’s a beautiful hotel which is covered in lush gardens on a mountain side. The food is really fantastic and there are lots of different activities to try- some free, others paid for, so you won’t get bored here. However what really makes the Ferme so great are the fantastic staff led by Abdou. Nothing is too much trouble and they give fantastic service. On this stay I actually wasn’t very well as I’d got a cold so the staff checked on me to make sure that I was ok and whether I needed anything. Service that goes above and beyond.

“Beautiful tranquil mountainside property with staff who really make your stay special”
Beautiful property set on a mountain side in the Atlas Mountains. However what really makes this property stand out are the staff who always go the extra mile to ensure a great stay- in particular Abderrahim and Soufaine who are really friendly, helpful and professional. The food may be a little more expensive than at other places but it’s really high quality and I highly recommend the cheesecake!!!! A really good place to chill and get away from the stress of every day life!

“Hotel in beautiful setting with exceptional staff”
The hotel is situated in a beautiful position on a hillside in the Ourika Valley. The rooms are good as is the food and there are plenty of activities at Ferme Ikalimo which of course include the farm but also pottery, bread making etc. However the thing that really makes this stay special are the staff. Abderrahim and his team go all out to make your stay memorable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are friendly and helpful, an exceptional group of staff, especially Abderrahim.
