Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

The Riad was a work of art. My choice would be to see one Riad, and stay in a more modern hotel.

Clean, modern, excellent location.

This camp was absolutely amazing. Upon arrival, we were introduced to Yousef who drove us to the desert where we were greeted by our camels and guide. We rode into the desert and saw the sunset (not to mention Algeria which was only 50km away). Then we rode under the stars to our tents. The setting was like an oasis. All of the staff spoke English and were so nice and helpful. We received a tour the camp and our tent. We were amazed at our cozy our room was. Everything was clean and we had a regular shower and toilet. The hot water took some time to warm up, but it eventually got hot. After settling in, we had dinner in one of the larger tents - no complaints at all, all the food was delicious! Next, we were gathered outside around a fire and were entertained with music and dancing. We wish we had more time in the desert but enjoyed every minute that we were there.

Hassan mosque is a must see.

We loved Fes so much. Charif our guide stayed with us all day and showed us some very fun sites as well as helping us navigate shopping for items we were looking for.

Hanan was an awesome tour guide and we really loved the female perspective. She is an excellent guide and so pleasant to be with.

Spectacular !!!! We didn't have much time in Rabat so it's hard to comment on the location of the hotel or really any other aspect of it. It was basically a sleeping spot for the evening.

Perfectly located in the heart of an absolutely lovely city !!!!! The view from our room was amazing !!

Once again the location was perfect !! Our group of 4 was split up into two different locations which was not ideal, but again, did not impact our trip in a negative manner.

Our best bed and shower was found in the middle of the Sahara Desert !!!!! Unbelieveable !!!! The staff was extremely helpful and attentive and our every need was met. The camel ride into the camp was wonderful and our guide (I believe Hassan ?) was wonderful !!!! he had an incredibe sense of humor and so much love and kindness for the camels. He was quick to put us all at ease, guide us into the camp, and took the most amazing photos for us to bring home and share with our friends and family. Our jeep guide the following morning, Ali, was again, full of information and provided us with a lovely tour of the desert. We opted for an ATV ride after lunch at Riad in town (I wish i remembered the name of the business we rented from) and our guide Jamel was FAULOUS !!!!!!! He took us on the ride of a lifetime !!!! I cried tears of joy riding into the dunes and then he put us each individually on the back of his ATV and showed us a trick or two that i'm sure none of us will ever forget !!! I hope he doesn't lose his hearing from us screaming in his ears. It was absolutely WONDERFUL !!!!

The staff and the views were spectacular !!!!! The meal "looked" incredible. I was unable to eat due to food poisoning from a previous meal but the staff made sure I was provided with appropriate food and tea delivered to our room.

Simply over the top !!! My husband and I "papmered" ourselves with a spa package. The breakfast each morning was incredible, the staff incredible, the smell (inside the Riad) was incredible. We wanted for nothing.

The location was spectacular. The private beach and M Club were a wonderful perk.

Our only complaint is that we didn't have another couple days to spend here. What a beautiful city !!!!!

Beautiful city !!!!! So many kitties !!!! I wish i had known to bring a bag of food to supply some of those poor babies with nourishment.

Cheryfe was wonderful !!!!!

Ali was a wonderful guide (and drummer).

My only suggestion for improvement was already stated in my original overall review of the trip and carries through for each of the excursions...having a written manuscript with basic information for each of the excursions would have been extremely helpful. It would provide reading during the sometimes long drives and give us a basic understanding so when the guides spoke we'd be able to better follow along since we'd already have read some of the basic information.

What a surprise (at least to me) to find ancient ruins in Morocco. Who knew ? Not me !!!!

we spent a LOT of $$ here. Need i say more?

Outstanding experience !!!!!!! A MUST do !!!

This did not happen ???? Perhaps because we opted for time in the pool and the ATV adventure. I gave a 5 star rating based upon the ATV adventure.

We LOVED Marrakesh !!!!!!! What an incredibly vibrant city !!!!!!

This is an amazingly beautiful place. The staff go over board to make you feel comfortable. My husband was ill the day we were there but I did not want to miss seeing the city. I was going to walk by myself to meet our driver, but the hotel manager insisted on one of his staff escorting me to meet the driver. It was a short walk but it was nice to know they were concerned about me getting where I needed to be safely.

This camp in the Sahara is more like a hotel room than a tent. The staff were amazing. And the food was abundant and very tasty. Loved seeing the Sahara!

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location. We loved it there. Our room had a large balcony were we could sit and relax after a long day. They had a buffet dinner ready that was fabulous. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Again getting to the Riad was walking through dirty and smelly streets.

It was dirty. Smell of mist. Couldn’t breath all night.

Getting to the Riad was a chore. Breakfast was good and their hospitality was amazing. Room wasn’t good. It was like motel 6

Only need one night there. As we were told 2 nights. There is nothing to do. It was hot during the day and no Wi-Fi. Couldn’t go inside, tent was hot because they turn off the AC during the day.

It wasn’t cleaned when we checked in. They didn’t sweep the floors or vacuum the carpet. Did not like the layout of the room. It was just long and getting past the bed was difficult because there was barely any room. Bath tub was very hard to get to.

Nicely decorated and clean rooms but poor noise insulation. Could clearly hear neighboring showers in use, and other guests’ children running around. Fortunately things quieted down at bedtime. Hotel is set on a hilltop, reached by a gravel road. Wonderful views. Walking to restaurants in town would have been tough, but dinner (set menu) and breakfast were served onsite.

Modern hotel, but past its prime. Built with nice finishes, but not well maintained.

Seating pavilion next to the camp was not in use, yet brightly lit, detracting from the night sky. Suggest changing this to allow for easier Milky Way viewing.

Service is great but the hotel and room decorations are fairly old. Would be good if towels can be changed as they seemed overused.

Nice and quiet hotel with great view of Chefchaouen.

Gorgeous hotel decorations and spacious hotel rooms. Staffs are very friendly and approachable as well. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience staying in a Riad!

Tiziri camp is a luxury camp because it provides a toilet and a shower facility within each room, which is certainly a luxury in the middle of a desert. The comfort of staying at this campsite is not to be compared to comfort of staying at a hotel in a city. Nonetheless, this campsite is comfortable to stay at for 3D2N and it has several activities that allow you to understand more about the desert and the nomads living there. Thanks to the enthusiastic and approachable staffs at this campsite, we really enjoyed our stay in the desert and learnt so much about the Berber culture. Would recommend this campsite to all first timers to the desert!

This hotel appeared run-down which we wondered if it was due to the recent earthquake in September 2023. The lights in the room were flickering throughout the night and the rooftop jacuzzi was closed for renovation.

Clean and comfortable place to stay. Located near the secret garden and medina, which made it easier for us to explore the medina ourselves at our own time.

This was cut short as we had to visit the mosque and to rush to Chefchaouen by sunset after that.

The local guide certainly helped us to better appreciate the mosque and its interior designs.

The visit was Volubilis was enjoyable with the help of a local guide to explain the sites to us. Otherwise, we would have been totally lost as there weren't much signages around to explain what we were looking at. We did not visit Moulay Idriss (at the advice of the driver) and only drove through Meknes (as it was under construction).

Great experience in the medina with local guide Cherif! Learnt a lot about moroccan history and culture. Shopping can be quite pricey though as you will be brought to the cooperative shops (where you will be paying for the guaranteed quality).

Enjoyed this activity as we got to learn more about the education system and food culture in Morocco from a local family.

The entire journey took around 8 hours (even without much stops in between). It was not possible to stop for the stops recommended in the itinerary as we had to reach Merzouga Desert before sunset. We ended up exploring Erfoud (fossil factory) after returning from the desert.

Definitely a highlight of this trip! First was the 2 hour camel ride to the camp site at sunset/under night sky. We had campfire at night under the gorgeous night sky while listening to Berber music performance by the staffs. On the following day, we visited a nomad tent to learn about the nomadic way of life, visited Gnawa House, tried Berber pizza for lunch and ended the day with sandboarding at sunset. The staffs at the camp site were very hospitable and approachable, which made the whole experience very enjoyable. Would recommend this to all first timers to the desert!

This was a fairly long drive with multiple stops in between - ie fossil factory, desert rose shop, Todra Gorge and silverware shop. Our driver became our guide for this segment as this was his hometown.

We are thankful for our driver being our guide at Ait Ben Haddou. We did not visit Telouet (that was listed in the itinerary) as it was closed for repair after the recent earthquake in September.

Enjoyed the medina tour with local guide Hanaan who shared with us about the history of the palace and also helped us with our souvenir shopping.

We loved this place. The staff was nice and the breakfast was good. After the first breakfast they kept track of what we liked or requested and these items were available for them the next day. We learned, although breakfast was amazing, it was a slow breakfast. Knowing this BEFORE our first morning would have been great : "Rian Le Pelerin has a beautifully set slow breakfast that comes to you fresh - so make sure you come down earlier if you plan to enjoy all they offer"

We did not enjoy this stay. The rugs were gross, the bath/shower/sink faucets did not work. There was hardly any light to light the room. It felt very dirty. I would have rather stayed at the Hotel we could see from the top of the old palace where we climed to to the top (just past the game of thrones entry). There was a hotel there - we could see the pool. We would have loved to have stayed in this part of town beause we could leave our hotel and wander the area. The location we went to had nothing to wander - we just stayed in our hotel room before and after dinner and watched a movie - but we would have loved to have shopped and walked around and bought tea and cookies.

What a fun little place. They staff took pride in this camp. We had a wonderful time. Never camped or glamped before - we were happy!

WOW!!! Everything about this place - the welcome tea and cookies, the outdoor patio, the decor, the locations in this sweet town, the dinner and breakfast - oh my, ALL PERFECTION!!!!!

This was the slow but informative pace we needed after a long travel in. Our guide was kind and spoke to the history and architecture and kept our kids engaged.

This place was special. We took off a star because i think Said signed us up for 5 veggie tajins. We probably should have had 2 cous cous and 3 veggie tajins. By the end of all of that cooking, had nothing but veggies to eat over an over again. I think you mau have signed up up for 2 cous cous and 3 veggie tajine - but we didnt know, so when we told them we were veggie they put us in the 5 veggie tajin spots. I think the other large party must have had one veggie tajin and they took our cous cous. the kids and i were hungry and sad after this experience. eveyry other gorup had 2 or 3 different items to dine on and we had just veggies.

So much fun! Kids enjoyed this activity a lot!

Surprisingly the kids loved this walk/hike!

The camel ride was great. This was our first time doing this.

There was only 1 board. For a family of five, this meant a lot of waiting. T

A intimate look at the lives of those who live in the green pastures we kept seeing from our view points and long drives. It brought a deeper understanding of how these areas look up close and the people who work and walk them.

A great insight into Riads.

This was a great break from the Riads. Would have liked a full day here!

The only reason it is not 5 stars is because only one restaurant was open.

Very much enjoyed seeing things outside the Medina

The Medina was very interesting, but we didn’t need that much time there…it became a little overwhelming.

Didn’t do it - we were exhausted and overwhelmed

Loved it! A very different side of Morocco!

Lovely hike - perfect break from dtiving! Too many beggers and shops along the way.

Guide was fantastic - ruins are amazing!

This was a wonderful addition to the trip. The family who hosted us was lovely. It was especially interesting to see the family dynamics.

This was our favorite city. We liked that we had the afternoon on our own (no guide) so we could get away from the souk and explore some streets off the beaten path.

This was my favorite experience for my entire trip. We were only there for one night, but what a magical one it was. The staff was phenomenal! Absolutely loved this place!

This was such a lovely riad. The people there were very helpful. The breakfast and welcome tea was wonderful. And you're right off of the spice souk, so your senses are in overdrive as soon as you arrive.

This was such a beautiful, modern twist on the Morocco hotels. We really loved staying here!

I felt like I stayed in a palace! What a cool place to be. The views are jawdropping!

The riad is really beautiful, but the bed was so hard that I had a terrible night's sleep.

The hotel staff were wonderful. I asked to be on the first floor, Senna was very accomadating and moved my room.

The Staff are hospitable, the rooms are clean and comfortable.

This Riad has distinctive feature, its homey and lush like garden inside. I was given a room that the toilet window was facing the hallway. I need to shower in the dark. And during checkout, the reception is empty and waited for more than 15 mins but only the ladies attended to me. I end up carrying my 25 kg luggage down the steep stairway in order to meet my driver on time.

Dar Settash is one of the Riads that has architectural beauty. The intricate tile work is amazing. I received a warm welcome from Fatima, as I arrived late she helps me order for my dinner. You can catch the sunrise and the view of the whole city from the rooftop.

The best Riad I had stayed throughout my stay. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, the environment is quiet. Breakfast is good too.

Standard hotel for overnight stay in Casablanca before your Flight. No water bottle were served in the room.

My guide is knowledgeable and explains very well the history of the place. He shows me every point that is important in the place. The whole place is beautiful.

The drive is quiet long but my driver Ayoub make is so comfortable, he explain our route before we start our journey.

My guide here is knowledgeable about the location and explains the culture and history of the place. It's just that he has a bit of attitude, after he fetch me from my Riad, my driver and I waited for him inside the car as he is still smoking.

It's nice to experience Hammam and massage but I thought the place should be quiet and relaxing but you can hear Staff from outside giggling and talking to each other during the massage.

What a welcoming Made to feel at home immediately Incredible food And oh that smile exudes warmth

This amazing Town built on a hill is a pleasure for your senses!

At this place you are greeted and treated like family. The food is beyond believable. It is delicious and plentyful and there are smiles all around

Charming, loved my stay. A lovely breakfast array of foods - delicious as well as the inner menu. Staff were attentive and professional.

Love this Riad was in the midst of Chefchaquen. Charming! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Lots of stairs, Breakfast and dinner were delicious. A little noisy if your room is over the courtyard. The view was wonderful, the group in the courtyard were celebrating a birthday until about 10:30pm. Otherwise, Just lovely!!

Exquisite! Simplistic beauty. tiled from floor to ceiling and Moorish Islamic architecture of doors.Clean and beds are comfortable. In the morning, breakfast awaited us with an array of items. The staff was above and beyond every opportunity. Hot tea was always a welcoming when we returned from our day in the Medina.

I am not use to glamping! This was the perfect elegance in the desert! Pure tranquility.
